I started my GMAT preparation last year Jan .Schedule my all exams in 3 months Gap .1st attempt , I mostly followed GMAT club ,
OG guide and GMAT prep question .I admit , i was not much focused during 1st attempt.
G-Day -Boooom 580 .
It was literally disappointing after seeing 580 on screen.
Prepared for next 3 months .Kept verbal on priority.This time i took
Magoosh verbal course.Video are easy to decipher , and have in depth details.Thanks to

"""""I read many quotes that say "learn from ur failure" . i guarantee you , those lines are correct."""""Now it was time to rethink the strategy , I purchased manhatten exams this time , and started my studies all over again .This duration , i stayed away from distract tors such as social media . I followed GMAT CLUB like hell .

In This stage i stared thinking , its difficult for me to get 700. Completely devastated .
I took break from studies for 10-15 days .
Gathering all the leftover motivation, i promised myself this would be my last attempt , and i have to study like helllll.i Purchased all the GMAT PREP exam and question bank .This Time , i was completely focusing OFFICIAL questions.
Gave all PREP exam - i Scored 730-740 range in each exam.
Solved Official Question atleast 5 times .
Followed
Bunuel solution like bible (I got Quant 50 in last attempt )
