Hi ssxdots,

It sounds like you're just starting out. Is that true? Have you done any studying so far?

If you're just beginning, then it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test; you can access 2 for free from www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). If you want to do a bit of practice first, so that you can familiarize yourself with the general content and question types first, then that's fine - but you shouldn't wait too long to take that initial CAT. A FULL CAT takes about 3.5 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have those scores, you should report back here and we can come up with a study plan.

I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline and goals:
1) What is your goal score?
2) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
3) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

I am taking the GMAT in 2 months and have a demanding schedule coming up. Will love to hear advice on how to effectively use my time.

1. I am intending to get GMAT OG + Manhattan prep (Strategy Guide set only). How should I use them in the next 2 months? (e.g., Start with Manhattan for content, and OG book for practice or?)
2. Is it advisable to get OG Quantitative and Verbal?
3. Any other tips and advice please :).

Some useful threads you can check out

Quant

Verbal

https://gmatclub.com/forum/ultimate-ver ... 33279.html

And yes you should solve the OG and the Verbal and Quant guides.

Buying Quant & Verbal OG will be very useful as they have official questions which have been retired. Official questions are like gold, solve as many as you can.

Buying online practice questions and additional mocks from mba.com

All the very best!!
