Dear friends,

In 2014 I decided to take the GMAT and purchased OG 13TH. but I changed my plan and deferred the GMAT journey.

Now I'm planning to write it on 20th Jan 2018.

I'm studying from Oct but not seriously. I've OG 13th and OG 2016 and Princeton 2015 with two full length practice tests and of course I'll purchase the 404 question pack and another two tests. . Is that enough to score 650??

Now I'm on intense practice and I'll take this exam before the deadline 1st feb.

It depends how much you are strong in the fundamentals.
Test yourself with a CAT and check how string you are in fundamentals. That will give you a fair idea of your strengths and weaknesses.

To strengthen your fundamentals, you can check GMAT club grammar book and math book. MGMAT strategy guides are good too.
You will be able to decide that once you take a diagnostic CAT and see what you are scoring now.

Hi Kamel,

A January 20th Test Date gives you about 4 weeks of study time, but it's not clear whether that will be enough time for you to hit 650+. Your studies so far seem like they might have been inconsistent - and many Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores, so it's possible that you'll end up needing more time than you've planned for.

Since you have not taken any practice CATs yet, it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test sometime soon; you can download 2 for free from www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). That score will give us a good sense of your natural strengths and weaknesses and will help provide a basis for comparison as you continue to study. A FULL CAT takes about 4 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have those scores, you should report back here and we can come up with a study plan.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich
