Hello GMAT Club!
I have been lurking here for a few weeks and finally decided to register. I realize GMAT Club has helped thousands achieve their goals and I am excited to call this community home for the foreseeable future.
After reading the GMAT Study Plan for GMAT Novices, I have decided to purchase: Foundations of GMAT Math: GMAT Strategy Supplement, Manhattan GMAT Set of 8 Strategy Guides, and OG 12.
Will these materials, in combination with GMAT Club tests, error log, and toolkit (which as an avid Iphone user I plan on purchasing) be enough to carry me past 700? Assuming I am dedicated, of course.
I am in no rush to take the exam, my goal is to break 700. I feel a goal of this caliber will play an essential role in overcoming a low UGrad GPA of 2.79 considering I wish to enroll in an Elite school.
My UGrad GPA suffered largely in part due to illness. My Freshman year of college I was very sick and lost my entire first semester save 4 credits. Second semester freshman year I was tasked with rectifying Incomplete classes along with taking a full course load. Unfortunately, I relapsed 3 more times throughout my collegiate career. The one semester I was not sick, I earned a GPA of 3.5. In order to graduate on time I took classes during the winter and summer months. While cramming credits may not have been the most beneficial toward my GPA, at the time I was more concerned with graduating with my peers, getting a job, and moving on. Couple all this with a family divorce and I consider myself lucky I even graduated, in four years none the less.
I have solid, albeit short, work experience (graduated 2009) in a booming industry where MBA's provide great opportunity.
Any insight is appreciated. I have read various GMAT success stories of other members with low GPA's who have gone to great lengths in achieving their goals. I plan on doing the same. Although I am not interested in attending an Ultra-Elite school, being admitted into an Elite program will certainly prove an uphill battle.
I welcome any and all input other members may have to offer. I look forward to participating in this community.

I think that your selection of books is pretty wise. The MGMAT Math guides are excellent and their SC book is hailed to be the bible of SC by many GMAT Club users. Having said that, a lot of us find the diagramming strategy that MGMAT uses for CR to be very long drawn and arduous. So you might want to purchase the Powerscore CR Bible, which is an excellent source for CR. You might also want to purchase the OG Quant and Verbal Reviews if you wish to have more practice. Apart from that, it's all down to dedication and how well you have the drive to do well on this test. Check out some other threads on the GMAT forum which have been stickied. They'll be of great help to you.

Thanks I will look into them. I also downloaded your CR Guide for future reference.
Would you suggest I take a cold GMAT Prep test or save them?
