Hello all,
I need a strategy and study guides as I am preparing to give GMAT in next 2 Months.
I have completed MGMAT prep strategy guides book for Quant but have not given any mock, and also starting Verbal strategy guides now from MGMAT prep books.
I found strategy guides question very easy, only the question, at the end of extra chapters, were a bit challenging. Also attempted official guide question but able to solve only easy section.
So, I need your tips for what will be the should next strategy and source for Math and how I should start Verbal( is it good to start from MGMAT strategy guides or from Official Book)
also, I am not confident to give mock with this much preparation, as I think i will only demotivate me- so is it right or wrong to not give mock now.
pls, share valuable feedback.

Hi AakashSingh,
From what you have described, you have put in a certain amount of study time already, so we really need to define your current overall skills, strengths and weaknesses before you spend too much time working on anything else. There are certain aspects to taking the GMAT that you can only learn by actually taking FULL CATs at regular intervals - and if you have to make some adjustments to your test-taking routine, then it's better to have MORE time to define those issues and fix them (than waiting to take your CATs at the 'end' of your studies, when you might not have enough time to properly improve).
Since you have not taken any practice CATs/mocks yet, it would be a good idea for you to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test sometime soon; you can take 2 for free at www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). A FULL CAT takes about 3.5 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.
Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What is your overall goal score?
3) Do you have an Official Test Date scheduled yet (and if so, then when is it?)?
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

Hi Rich,
Thank you for feedback, yes I am planning to give my mock test soon and I will share my scores for your further tips.
Here are my current study duration and goals
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
I have been studying from last 1 month, approximately giving 4 hours each sat and Sunday, could not do more 1-2 hours on weekdays.
2) What is your overall goal score?
My plan is to touch atleast 700.
3) Do you have an Official Test Date scheduled yet (and if so, then when is it?)?
Not yet, but my target is in August 2020 i will have a test date.
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
I am planning for fall 2021 intake, I am planning for schools taking scores in between 650 to 700 in countries like Canada, Australia, Singapore. As currently, my focus is on my GMAT score so I have not done much school search I have planned to do it in my application phase.
Now, I would like to know where I should improve my planning and what extra I should do to get MBA Dream fulfilled.
Thanks
