Thanks rg1. I felt NOVA math prep course is a very good one. I started with it got comfortable with lot of math rules that I should remember. I will recommend that book for having a strong base, the book also has some hard questions topic wise which are again good ones. I finished that book in a week or so.
Good luck for your preparation.

After finishing up MGMAT + OG quant questions, I felt that I'm good with basics but still need to spend a lot of time in practicing and reducing time for DS questions. I ordered NOVA GMAT Prep from Amazon few days ago and should be outside my door any day:). I get distracted with loads of work that makes me feel rustic every time even though I was doing good at solving questions.
Do you have a daily routine of solving 10PS+ 10DS+20 SC+10CR+2 RC? I don't know how to make a schedule/test with a variety of questions in it apart from Full length tests. If you have any idea, please post.

I have not started daily routine of solving 10PS+ 10DS+20 SC+10CR+2 RC. But I am planning to do from next week once I finish reading MGMAT books. Somewhere in GC forums I read that you can list out all the problems from OG and assign numbers from 1 to 10 sequentially. First 10 questions will have numbers from 1 to 10 and 11-20 questions will have numbers from 1 to 10...like that. And now if you select all 1 numbered questions, you can have mix of all difficulties from easy to hard. You can try this approach to pick the problems without redundancy and with mixed difficulties for every day.
I will be covering most of OG12 problems with MGMAT books. So I am planning to follow the above approach on OG10 when I start doing that.

Pretty bad day :(

MGMAT CAT#1 - 590 (Q47, V24).
I have 15 questions out of 37 wrong in quantitative. (6 of them are careless mistakes)
I have not started CR and RC preparation. Most of the CR questions were wrong and RC, I just skipped them by blindly selecting some answer. I have finished 3 chapters in MGMAT SC, and out of 15 SC questions 2 were wrong...not bad huh.
I couldn't concentrate on the exam as I was thinking not to work on RC and CR. So I will stop taking CAT now until I prepare for those sections. It does not make sense to just waste the CATs.

Btw in this week,
-completed MGMAT Word Translations (one of the scariest books because of combination/ permutations and probability). I still need to work on more Com/Perm problems to get comfortable with them.
-Did all OG12 problems from MGMAT Equations, Inequalities and VICs(General section)

ok. Here I am after a long break. I did not keep up with the regular study during thanksgiving week. Meeting friends, cooking, shopping..etc. Then after 4 days break I resumed my study.

Last week:
Gmat Club test #4 -----32/37 -----76%
MGMAT CAT#2 - 640 (Q47, V31)

My capacity with Quantitative always seems to be 47 in MGMAT. I was not able to improve it.
I am thinking on what else can I do to improve it atleast 2 points more.
Any suggestions here are most welcome.

Then comes by enemy - Verbal. I had same percentages of mistakes in CR,RC adn SC.
I was thinking CR was my strngth. But apparently it is not. All verbal is my weakness. I will concentrate on verbal this week and see how I can improve it.

May be read MGMAT SC again???

Just keep focusing on your weak areas, and practice, practice, practice.

Days are just flying away.
It is really not a good idea to take a exam like GMAT during holidays. Too many distractions because of holidays and some family commitments. But anyways once I have started preparing, do not want to stop it and start after a long break. So planning to postpone my exam date from Jan 5th to Jan 17th. That gives me 10 more days where there are no holidays( Only work and GMAT). Hopefully that might work.
Planning to take one practice exam this weekend.
