Hi Ashandilya,
Based on what you’ve described, it's probably best to move your GMAT back at least 3 months. Also, since you have not taken a serious practice exam, you may want to take a fresh MBA.com practice exam to get a more accurate baseline GMAT score. When taking the exam, try to replicate the test day experience as much as possible: Go to the library instead of taking the test in your house or apartment. Be sure to complete all sections (AWA, IR, Quant, and Verbal). Only take the allotted breaks.
Also, if you find that you are having trouble improving your GMAT knowledge, you may consider other, more robust, prep materials.
The Official Guide is a great book because it has official questions from past GMATs; however, there are not enough questions given about each topic to provide full exposure to all GMAT topics. Additionally, the questions are presented in a random order, so it’s challenging to use the
OG for focused practice and learning.
A good option for you could be an online self-study course. In comparison to GMAT prep books, self-study courses typically provide detailed study plans and have granular analytics, so you can easily track your progress as you move through the course. By being able to track your progress, you will remain more engaged, and you’ll be able to more accurately forecast when you are ready to take your real GMAT.
Once you take another practice test, feel free to report back (or to me directly) and I’d be happy to provide further advice.
