Hello everyone!
So I have been hanging around in this forum for a quite a while now.
I need some help with regards to my game-plan for my ( first and hopefully, last ) GMAT ( May 4th 2015 ) for the next 1.5 months.
So here it goes:
1. Finish OG ( Regular, Quant and Verbal)
2. Review errors and do them under timed conditions.
3.Write MGMAT CATs and GMAT prep every week, with 2/week for the last two weeks.
4. Complete Manhattan question banks and review the same.
5. Complete Manhattan SC guide twice.
6. 2 RC passages and 5 sentence corrections EVERYDAY.
7.GMAT Prep Question pack ( the one which is free )
8.Powerscore CR Bible
I will be spending the last 10 days of prep just reviewing my error log and giving the mock tests.
My concern is - is there too much of exposure to just the official material - and secondly, I was thinking allocating a week for the Manhattan Challenge Problem Archive. Is it worth doing so? If not, what what else can I substitute it with?
Thanks in advance!!

Hi:
Your plan sounds good to me and I'd like to share a few observations:
While solving questions from the OG (or any other source), squeeze each question for every drop of juice. I recommend the following process:
1. Before solving the question, ask yourself - "How is this question different from all the other questions that I have solved?"
2. While reading the question, ask yourself - "What are the knowns and the unknowns in this question?"
3. Before starting the calculation, ask yourself - "Do I have the knowledge to go from the known to the unknown?"
4. After solving the question, check the answer.
5. If your answer is correct, ask yourself - "Does my approach match the approach given in the explanatory answer? Which approach is more comfortable? Is there anything new in the method explained here? Is there something new I need to learn to master this approach?"
6. If your answer is incorrect, ask yourself - "What approach is given in the explanatory answer? Is this a new approach? Do I need to revise some of the old concepts to master this approach? What did I do differently?"
7. Write all your findings in the error log.
Summary: Understand why the right option is right and why the wrong answer is wrong.
This might appear slow, but this is the path to mastery
Regards,
Amrith

Thanks Amrith!
I was wondering if my current strategy is good enough for a 750. (Provided I execute as per plan,of course)
What do you feel about the Manhattan Challenge Problem Archive? Should I do them?
If not, what should I practice to be able to score a 50/51 in Q?
