Hey,
I too am starting with my GMAT prep from April 1st and looking for a study buddy to stay motivated and share the problematic questions. I am based in the US working as BA. I plan to take a date for first week of July as ideally three months are needed for preparations. I have started with watching the videos and going through the most basic principles in Quants and a few online lectures for Verbal section. This is only so that when I pick up the book after a gap of around 5 years, I dont feel as if I know nothing and in-turn get demotivated.
My Study schedule is as follows:
April1st to April 30th- Quants complete , solve questions and maintain an
error log and maintain a book for topic wise basic concepts. Visit the students problem posting section each day and try to solve those questions.
May 1st - Full length test on Quants
May 2nd to May 31st- Verbal complete with Quants test on every 5th day i.e 5,10,15,20,25,30 and keep solving difficulties of other students on this forum
June 1st - Full length test (Q+V)
June 2 to June 30- Full length test every alternate day and going through my
error log of two months, topic wise concept book and assessing my full length test
July first week, I plan to take my test
