If you're just starting your GMAT preparation and looking for study strategies, one effective method is the  Streaks Method . It focuses on mastering topics by consistently answering a set number of questions correctly in a row before moving on to new material.

For Verbal preparation, practicing untimed initially and deeply analyzing answer choices can help you build accuracy. For Quant, focusing on solving problems in multiple ways can strengthen your problem-solving skills.

Rather than relying on scattered notes, structured resources like GMAT Club's study plans, forum discussions, and online courses can provide a solid foundation. If you're struggling with a specific section, consider targeted practice through the GMAT Club question bank.

Stay consistent, and best of luck with your prep!

Hi Srihari6421,

Since you are just starting out with your GMAT prep, here is some advice you can follow to get moving.

I suggest you spend a day familiarizing yourself with the GMAT’s general structure and content, especially Data Sufficiency questions, which are unique to the GMAT. Then take an official practice test from mba.com to get your baseline score. Doing so will help you gauge the amount of work required to reach your target score.

In fact, this article will give you an idea about how many hours you’ll need to prepare:  How Many Hours Should I Study for the GMAT Focus?

Once you have a baseline score, adopt a prep strategy consisting of topical learning and practice. In other words, focus on just ONE topic at a time and practice that topic until you achieve mastery.

For instance, let's consider your study of Number Properties. First, immerse yourself in all aspects (formulas, properties, techniques and strategies) of this topic, and then, focus solely on Number Property questions. After each problem set, take the time to delve into your incorrect answers. This self-reflection is a powerful tool that allows you to understand your learning process and make significant improvements. For instance, if you made a mistake in a remainder question, ask yourself why. Was it a careless error? Did you not apply the remainder formula correctly? Was there a concept in the question that you didn't grasp?

By meticulously analyzing your mistakes, you will efficiently address your weaknesses and, consequently, enhance your GMAT quant skills. This process has been unequivocally proven to be effective. Number Properties is just one example; be sure to follow this process for all Quant, Verbal, and DI topics.

Once you have mastered all of the content, you can begin taking official practice tests. With each test, carefully review your results to identify remaining gaps in your content knowledge and work on strengthening those areas until you fully understand them. Then (and only then) take another practice test. Repeat this process until you reach (or exceed!) your goal score.

If you're new to the GMAT, consider taking an official mock after getting a bit familiar with the material. Could help give a sense how close/far you are to your target score (including your performance on the three sections). The Share GMAT Experience subforum could also be helpful to check out to get a sense how long/likely different score jumps may be, which resources people have used along the way, and how they structured their prep including any quick tips they may have shared.

One of the biggest mistakes people make when they’re starting out their GMAT prep is diving straight into the material. It’s really important to really develop an understanding of the sections and exactly how they test you. The biggest part of it is the reasoning elements, the GMAT is a test of executive reasoning and what makes hard questions hard isn’t really technical math stuff or English grammar stuff even though those things are important it’s more about how difficult reasoning situations happen in real life, especially in business decisions: like hidden information gathering and understanding the prompt well before getting into actually making decisions. Those are equally important to to understanding the math and grammar concepts
