Hi bb, I am new to the GMAT Club and putting together my own Study Plan right now. I have looked at your GMAT study plan for novices under the Study plan option. But this Verbal Study plan is amazing. And exactly what I needed. I am glad that GMATClub exists and allows people to share this knowledge with each other. My verbal section needs more work so I will be starting with Verbal first rather than quantitative.

You can not compare real and complex numbers. :)
Roles are quite different. But I must say- his explanations are too good and they attracts a lot of kudos. Also the work he has done on gmatclub math book is really marvelous.

:-D his given/take ratio is too low.

Hi bb thanks for the great post.

I wrote a practise test and got V27. I am yet to start my verbal preparation. What score should I target? I have about 2 monts of time and I can spend close to 12 hours per week.

Incredible advice, especially for ppl who are still dealing with their struggle on verbal (just like me)! I'd also recommend to read the Economist, while trying to think at the same time about basic rules that I had picked up before (tenses, etc.). I think when you put some thought into it, English literature might be quite rewarding as well.
