Hello,
My Name is Nadeem from Dubai, a newbie to the GMAT Club.
I have finally decided to pursue my MBA plans after 4 years of Professional life.
I am aiming to give my GMAT exams by April 15, 2017 and because of my work nature I cant afford to have class room coaching as I travel a lot.
So I am planning to do Self Study and taking my previous academic experience I think am not bad at self study, lol.
So I have bought the following GMAT books to start with:
1. MGMAT Strategy Guides, 0-9 All of them
2. GMAT OG 2016
3. Kaplan (freebie from my friend who took the Gmat in 2015)
I am basically looking at 750+, I know quite an ambitious, sky high target, but hey remember Niel Armstrong set his foot on the moon then why not aim for the stars
By the way I can allocate 2-3 hours for studying on a week day and about 3-5 hours on weekend.
Being a non-native English speaker I think I might struggle at the verbal part of the GMAT, though I studied with English as my primary language subject all my life. On the plus side I am reasonably good with Numbers, used to quite do well in Maths back in the Uni and School, also I deal with numbers everyday in my work. My weak point in Qunat could be quadratic equations as its been 4 years since I touched them.
To Summarize:
Target Score 750+,
Study Type: Self Study
ETA to GMAT Exam: 135 Days
Hours of Study Per day: 2 Hours, 3-5 Hours on Weekend
Positive: Number Game Strong
Weakness:
Non-Native English Speaker, so Verb could be an issue
Quadratic
So thats about it, looking forward to suggestions on self study material if the above is not sufficient, self study methods or mechanism from previous GMAT Takers and just to help my motivations level would appreciate if you could share some self study success stories.
Regards
Nadeem Mohammed

For theory part , MGMAT guide is sufficient.
You need some plan to study, magoosh study plan are really good you can follow them.
Do practice only on OG and GMAT Prep problems. For quant OG may be easy, workout on GMAT prep qs.
take Mock test frequently may be one time for 2 week. Dont plan i will take mock test after i complete studying all the topics.
Be active on clubs like gmat club , post as well as solve few qs posted by others.
For all OG problem, try to read explanation from gmatclub, and magoosh have video explanation for all OG SC questions.
Try maintain error log ,at every weekend revise your error log and try to visit that sum again.
Most of all, try to find a study partner. lot off people unable to score in gmat, because not of test toughness, but unable to study regularly. you may be interrupted with several things that happens around you. Always prefer to study with partner

Hi Nadeem,
Since it sounds like you're just beginning your studies, then it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test; you can download 2 for free from www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). If you want to do a little studying first, so that you can familiarize yourself with the basic content and question types, then that's okay - but you shouldn't wait too long to take that initial CAT. That score will give us a good sense of your natural strengths and weaknesses and will help provide a basis for comparison as you continue to study. A FULL CAT takes about 4 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) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
2) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
