Hi
I’m a full time working professional.
I scored a 385 on my 1st diagnostic focus edition official mock.
I began my focus edition prep from mid September and then had around 13-14 days of gap in October due to other necessary personal commitments.
I’m thinking of taking the focus edition by January end/February end.
I’m targeting fall 2026 intake (international student).
Is this a realistic timeline I’ve given myself as well as the right plan? Would love some feedback/suggestions etc. :)

You would need about 300-400 hours of preparation to get to 645+. Watch this video to see how to plan your study - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgczAkIqJ7A

I used OG questions from past year’s books and Manhattan GMAT mocks. I did use E-gamt long time back but it did not help me much.

This^

An ESR will really break down where you went wrong and help you identify what you need to improve on. You can start your road to redemption from there

Small investment for big gains

I will suggest u first study the verbal and quants concepts before practicing any question. U can refer powerscore cr and rc books and Manhattan sc book for concepts. If u want to take personalized coaching, then u can also go for a good tutor
