Hello all!
I've been peaking through this forum for some months now but am now beginning the GMAT process. I am not applying until fall 2012 at the latest so I have some time but the sooner the better!
I was hoping I could get some feedback on my study plan. My goal is 700+, ideally 720+. My math will be weaker, perhaps much weaker than my verbal which I expect to be very strong. I did very well on the LSAT and while I know they are not identical, my verbal is typically very good. My math is not terrible but I will need to work very hard.
I have bought all the MGMAT workbooks (both math and verbal since it was cheaper).
I am starting with math and going through each workbook. Some concepts are basic but I think it's a good review. How should I balance out going through concepts/foundation review and doing actual questions? Should I be doing the purple GMAT review book in conjunction with the workbooks? There arent many actual practice questions in the workbooks...
I am taking my first diagnostic this weekend. I will take a diagnostic every other weekend until it gets closer to the exam date-- I will up the frequency of the practice exams a month prior. I'll have access to the 2 free gmat tests, the MGMAT tests and hopefully GMAT Club exams. I'm concerned about running out of practice questions throughout this process- especially on the math side...
After dedicating 4-5 weeks to the math section, I will work on verbal through workbooks+practice questions/exam but I suspect will be a bit easier than the math section for me. I will also make an error log. I hope to take the exam end of Dec but if I need more study time, I'm flexible. I am trying to study 8-10/hours a week since I am also working my job.
Any feedback?
Thanks! Good luck to all!

Hi alanshore,
The first step to improve your quant skills is to forget that -You are weak in QUANTS.Once you get purturbed ,it hits hard on your performance directly.Gmat quants can be mastered with a systamatic approach.DO NOT FEAR.
You have got the right books to start with - MGMAT books are pretty good to start with .Specially , Number system and Word Translations are the best .Make notes as you go through the theory part.This would be helpful for you throghout the process.Also go through the Gmat MATH Book (gmat club)-These are really good which would give idea about all the fundamentals for various topics. Apart from this if you still feel that you need some book to refer then try Jeff's GMAT Math bible .I haven't used it personally , but have heard some good reviews about it. These should be more than enough for brushing your basics and get ready to face questions.
For practice i would say Jeff's 1800 practice questions sets. These come in form of sets on each topics (Fundamentals and Challenge) .I am using them and they are pretty ausome .You can find more details - (https://www.gmatproblems.com/)
Gmat club tests are considered to be best in the market to increase your level from 46 to 51...I have tried couple of sets in it and believe me they are amazing.However, you should not jump into them untill you are comfortable with fundamentals .Apart from these you can find more material in "Bunuel's signature tags for more practice questions.
These would be more than enouf for handling any type of questions in Quants.
Please note - Do not exaust yourself by doing huge number of questions ,rather than concentrate on understanding the fundamentals behind the problems you solve .That would help.
Do let me know if you have any questions .
