Hi rahulzlpr,

When you choose to study is completely up to you. I do agree that having 3+ months of consistent study time available is in your best interest. Asking for advice on how best to study 6 months before you plan to start studying seems impractical though (since we have no idea if your situation might change down the line - and any changes would likely require different advice).

Thanks for your feedback. Well the only dilemma I have which I consider to be is the study approach and the timeline. So will appearing for the exam in June be appropriate. Also don't you think if I use the Manhattan guides and OG review book and practice well apart from taking the Manhattan and GMAT prep tests
That will serve the purpose if I follow a proper study plan for self study?? I have heard great things about the aforementioned material. Basically I am asking and researching about this well in advance so that when I begin my preparation I am clear in my head as to what should be my approach in order to get a high score in the 700s

Hi rahulzlpr,

With these types of plans, some 'flexibility' will be required. We have NO idea how well you will absorb the material, nor what concepts you'll need to put extra study time into. The likely outcome will be that you will begin studying as you see fit, then we'll have to make some adjustments based on how quickly you improve. Taking FULL CATs on a regular basis (1 CAT every 1-2 weeks) will provide the necessary information we will need to track your progress.
