Hi,
I am just starting to prepare for the GMAT exam which I intend to take in end Dec (giving me around 3 months of prep time). With zero preparation, I decided to take a diagnostic and went straight for the GMATPrep practice tests; skipped the AWA and got a 680 (Q49, V34).
My 1st question: is this score truly indicative of where I am without any prep and hope to get better? (have been reading that GMATPrep tests overestimate?!)
Went through the huge list of books given here, and based on the books I got from friends, have decided on the following
1. Finish the Princeton Review first, relatively soon.
2. Thereafter focus on the OG 11 that I have
3. Was making mistakes in SC, so will be consulting Manhattan SC book as well.
This is all I plan to do, alongwith regular tests, for which I'll try different sources later.
2nd question: So are these books sufficient study material?
Thanks

wow .. 680 with no prep .. i would kill for that 
...
anyways looks like your quant is super strong and ur not that bad at all in verbal too ... you have a true potential of 750+ with some dedicated 2 months prep
If I were you this is how I would go about
Skip princeton review
Quant ) Do OG 11 and gmat club tests
Verbal) - MGMAT SC and Powerscore CR and OG 11
The rest is practice practice practice, they are lot of practice resources for SC,CR,RC ...

Hi,
Your intended study path almost exactly mirrors mine (took an initial diagnostic, then princeton review, OG 11, and mgmat sc). the only thing i would add to that list is the LSAT LR Bible. it's great for improving the critical reasoning on the GMAT. other than that, keep taking full length tests when possible (maybe weekly), and look at the types of answers you're getting wrong so that you can improve on those.
The GMAT Prep is probably the best indicator of how you'll fare. Most people think that it will predict your score within a +/-30 point range.
