Hi everyone, I had been studying for over a month now. As of now, I have covered basics of Verbal and I'm practicing questions now from various sources. I've been doing decent in terms of accuracy and application of concepts in Verbal.
I started Quant about two weeks back and realised the study plan that I'm following currently isn't helping me in improving much. I started with some concepts and then applied them. But since I'm referring to various sources, including NCERTs, I feel I'm a bit stuck/lost. It's just not strategic. I'm planning to appear for the exam in November, which means I have about 3 months.
Could you please recommend me materials/books/online course that would help me the most in terms of building the foundation, as the last time I did mathematics was about 8 years ago. At present, I am just as new.
Also, I understand what I read, it's just that I do silly mistakes, which means that the foundation isn't as strong. On an average, I study about 34 hours a week. I am also planning to take a 15 day leave from work for my prep.
So, time is not a constraint in my case. One thing I'm certainly looking at is bolstering my foundation so that a good score in Quant stands me in good stead.
Will be thankful if anyone of you, who has/had similar issues can share the study plan or a few tips on how to work more strategically from the very start instead of panicking 4 weeks before the exam.
Thanks!

Hi Rocknrolla21,
Welcome to GMATCLUB! Most of the GMATPREP courses are well designed and take you through the basics before taking you to the advance topics.
For Quant You can try out the
TTP course as it is phenomenal and covers the entire syllabus really well. Plus it has great reviews on GMATCLUB. I must add that if you are particularly looking to discover and improve on your weak areas in Quant; a subscription to
GMATCLUB tests is the best way to do that. They are indeed phenomenal and will not only pinpoint your weak areas but also help you improve on them.
Further taking multiple mocks might help. Apart from the GMATPREP,
Manhattan GMAT tests and Veritas Prep Tests in my experience have good verbal and Quant section and will certainly help you point out and improve your weak areas.
Further another advantage of taking many mocks is to build up your stamina. Apart from the GMATPREP tests, taking practice tests of any major GMATPREP company ought to do that.
Lastly I would also encourage you to purchase the GMATPREP QP 1 for some great additional practice. Here is a link that will help you with your decision.

Hope this helps. All the best.
