Should I first take a diagnostic test using one of the free official GMAT Practice Tests before starting studying? Posted from my mobile device
Yes..you will be able to get accustomed to gmat exam and will be able to see your progress this way after your preparation. You can also analyse your comfortable sections after giving the diagnostic mock

But it should be using the official GMAT practice test not another mock test right?

Also what do you think the best way to get to a 645-655+ on the Focus edition is after taking an initial diagnostic test. Should I just start doing TTP immediately after for 4-6 months and that be enough?

There are so many prep resources and I’m not sure which to choose and in what order to do them

If there was a clean, prescribed & direct way to score the best score possible then everyone would have been following it. You can choose among the sources with which you feel comfortable. And yes, an Initial diagnostic test is important. Almost all of the study materials teach you similar stuff. Some people ace the GMAT within 3 weeks!, some take months, and some years. It is hard to give a good timeline. I can understand your perspective as a beginner and frankly, I used to think in the same way. All I can suggest is that be disciplined in your preparations and keep yourself open-minded whenever you encounter setbacks! All the best!

Thank you that makes sense. In that case I’ll take the diagnostic and then likely start doing TTP and other random practice questions in between and see what happens.

Oh wow. Big day!
No actual calculator is allowed. There will be one in the screen in the DI section. That’s the only you can use during DI session only.
