You've got what seems to be a  lot  of material, and I'm not familiar with all of it. But as long as it's good, the additional (non-official) material you're doing should help you. Just a few points you may wish to consider:

1. Set the right starting point. The percentile you mention is actually going to be a 49 on the actual GMAT (Q49 = 78 percentile). If you take a GMATPrep, you'll get a reasonably reliable estimate. A better initial score estimate generally leads to better planning (less/more material/time) or a revision of the target score (Q50 = 87 percentile).

2. Prioritize analysis over quantity. Just doing more material does help, but probably not as much as learning as much as possible from a more limited set of questions does.

3. Be open to revising your plan. This is something I feel is very important. Try not to focus too much on how "sufficient" your initial plan is. It's an initial plan. Stick with it if more GMATPreps show positive results. Change it if your scores aren't moving up. Add some other tests if you want, but it's very hard to say, right at the beginning, whether XYZ will "suffice".

I would vote to stick to only official GMAT questions, you can use other sources to understand concepts but not for practice questions. Add GMATPrep Question Pack 1 to your list, Exam Pack 1, GMATFocus, and after you have completed the two free GMATprep practice test, use the pool of questions that are part of the software, get them from this post: all-gmatprep-questions-quant-verbal-187679.html

Hi Balajikarthick1990,

You asked a similar question in another thread, so I'm posting my response from there:

Have you taken any FULL-LENGTH CAT's yet? If so, then how did you score (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)? If you have not taken one yet, then you should take one soon (to establish a 'baseline score' and get a sense of your overall strengths and weaknesses). Once you have that score, you should report back here. Jumping into timed practice sets when we don't have a clear sense of your broader skills can be a problematic way to approach the study process.
