GMAT Inequalities is a high-frequency topic in GMAT Quant, but many students struggle because the concepts behave differently from standard algebra. Understanding the right rules, patterns, and edge cases can significantly improve both speed and accuracy.- May 06

Hi Guys,
I need some assistance with my study plan.
I am planning to give GMAT in three months time and have come up with a study plan.This is my second attempt in GMAT.I gave my first GMAT on Nov 2012.My individual scores in Quant and verbal were 43 and 21 respectively.
Following is my strategy :-
1)Start with Maths and Verbal at the same time.I am planning to start both the sections simultaneously.
I have decided to give two days to Quant and one day each to SC,CR and RC on weekdays and on weekends probably brush up the concepts one more time and do some practice questions.
2)After 6 weeks when I am almost done with the topics,planning to take a practice test,just to know where I stand with my preparations.
3)After 8 weeks,I would start with taking practice tests(2 per week) and will work on my weak points till the time I am satisfied with my practice test results.
Following is my section wise strategy for preparation :-
1)Quant
Manhattan GMAT Guide
Study the topics from the book and then practice via GMAT test club or grockit.com
2)SC and RC
Manhattan GMAT guide
Study the topics from the book and then practice through GMAT club tests or grockit.com
3)CR
Powerscore guide
Study the topics from the book and then practice through GMAT club tests or grockit.com
I have also bought 13 edition GMAT review and GMAT verbal Review second edition which I will use after completion of all the topics.
I would really appreciate if someone can help me with below queries :-
1)Is starting with Quant and verbal at the same time a good strategy ? I have read in lot of threads to start with Math first and then start with verbal.Would like to know the reason behind this strategy ?
2)For practice which option is good,GMAT club tests or grockit.com or any other good option ?
3)I am a non-native speaker and my verbal score in my previous attempt was 21.Should i opt for e-gmat course or self study ?
I am targeting a score of 700 plus.
Thanks

Hi guptavvek,
Since your prior GMAT score is from over 2 years ago, it would be helpful if we had a more recent score assessment to get a sense of your "starting skills" and to get a basis for comparison. As such, I think that you should plan to take a FULL-length practice CAT soon to establish a baseline score.
As far as your overall study plan, there's no way to know if it will help you to hit you score goal until you start doing the work. I will advise that you should "spread out" your CATs more than you've planned. In your current plan, you'll work through half of your study timeline before you even know if you're making any real progress - and FULL-length CATs are really the only practical way to measure that progress. You also probably won't know what your real 'weak' spots are until the last month of your studies, which wouldn't give you much time to fix them. If and when adjustments need to be made, it's better to know earlier on rather than later. If you're not using the proper resources, then you don't want to wait until the last few weeks to realize it.
