Hi DarkAveneger

Thanks for reaching out on the forum, it feels good to see you coming out and asking for advice.

Majority of students falter in their GMAT exam because they start their preparation with OG.

This is a major mistake because if you start your preparation by solving OG questions, you are skipping to practicing questions without learning the concepts. This is a trial-and-error based preparation methodology which cause a two-fold problem:

    1. It increases your preparation time by up-to 5X.
    2. You tend to miss out on concepts even after solving many questions.

We have helped more than 25,000 people in last 1 year in achieving their target of a good GMAT score. Maximum people attributed their success to the structured process which we suggested them. I suggest you break your preparation into 3 stages and follow the below plan:

    Stage – 1 --> Learn the concepts
    Stage – 2 --> Cement the concepts by practicing a sub-section in Isolation
    Stage – 3 --> Become test ready (practicing all the sub-sections together)

If you follow the above approach you can expect your preparation to get over in a timeline of 2-3 months with 18 hours of preparation time per week.

You can also analyse your ability topic-wise and skip stages if you are good in a topic, this will expedite your preparation even further.

I would be happy to explain this Strategy in detail and create personalized milestones for you on a quick call. Please select a time slot that works here.

Hope the above strategy get you to your target score

OG - https://gmatclub.com/forum/gmac-officia ... 40610.html
Free resources-- GMAT club. PERIOD. This should be enough

Step 3: Finish one topic at a time , solve OG questions immediately after reading theory, Do not move to next topic until you feel confident.

Hi!

Have you given an official practice exam? If yes, what is your score (with the split between Q and V)?

What is your target score? Given this background information and goal, forum members will be able to give you better advice.

In general, do give maximum time to official questions and official practice tests and lay a strong foundation in the topics covered in GMAT exam.

All the best!
