Hi all,
I gave my first GMAT in Nov 05, scored 580 (feel completely cheated of the time, effort and ofcourse the score!!!, didnt get this score in pratcice tests).Gave this while i was working full time. Anyways, have decided to give it one more try - plan to retake in Dec 06.
I am in process of planning for the second attempt: strategy/ study plan. Thought to share it with the forum, to have suggestions.
1. Jot down points of improvements : Speed, accuracy, weak section, strong section but need some improvement, etc
2. Take a diagnostic test - for score benchmark and current level. Identify points of improvement.
3. Brush up types of questions, maths basics, english basics, tips/tricks to solve PS/DS/CR/RC/SC from Kaplan & Princeton
4. Complete 11ed OG in 2.5 weeks - design test type chunks ( a mix of sc/rc/cr/ds/ps ) for continous 3hr study schedule. Read errors and maintain log.
5. Kaplan test 1
6. For verbal : complete Kaplan verbal book, SC 1000, CR 1000
For quant : I need to find out the material which could help me give more practice. ( need help here )
7. Plan to give one complete test every weekend to start wth kaplan, followed by princeton, followed by powerprep.
Resources :
Have :
11thed OG
Kaplan 2006
Princeton 2006
Kaplan verbal book 2006
to get:
SC 1000, CR 1000, RC 1000

10th ed OG
I am still in initail stage of the planning, I need help / suggestions to plan for :
1. Study Resources
2. Planning
Planning to commit 35 hours per week for the study Do let me know what you'll think about the plan ?
Many thanks,
Priti

Other than the 25 hours a week thing, I think it sounds good. You're going to burn yourself out with that much studying. Aim for 2-3 hours a day on weekdays with practice questions (do one question type an evening) and one full test each weekend.
Also, do not do use Kaplan for verbal. It's off the mark. Use Princeton Review for verbal.

Thanks Cashmere for your reply, what is your opinion on
Manhattan Prep material ? I have ordered for SC and word problems ? Thinking to start basics with that ... in addition to princeton.
Cheers,
Priti
