Hey Guys,
Here's the final revision of my study plan. As usual, feel free to leave any comments or tips that you feel would make for a better study schedule. I plan to officially start studying on Monday, Jan. 21st; any feedback before then would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again to Santanu76 for giving me tips on how to improve my study time--I wish you all the best in your studies. My schedule is as follows:
GMAT Study Plan:
• Month 1 & 2 (Quantitative and Verbal): Study all of the MGMAT books and do the corresponding questions in the respective chapter and OG. Make note of questions answered incorrectly in my error log (be sure to note the type of question and its page number). UNDERSTAND WHY YOUR ANSWER IS WRONG AND WHY THE CORRECT ANSWER IS RIGHT. Only move on to the next section when you have a complete understanding of the topic being covered. Alternate weekly between quantitative and Verbal (i.e. quant. one week, verbal the next).
• Month 3 (Practice CAT): Get used to the CAT format. Take 1st GMAT prep test and ensure you time yourself. If time runs out and you are not finished, stop taking the test immediately; you want to ensure you adhere to the conditions of the real exam as closely as possible. Note all incorrect answers and go over the topics which they fall under in MGMAT. If timing is an issue, then work on pacing yourself. Repeat this process after each of your 8 available CAT (2 GMAT prep CAT and 6 MGMAT CAT). Take the final GMAT prep CAT two days before the actual exam to get an accurate estimate of how you are likely to perform.
Guidelines:
Do not pay much attention to timing during the first 2 months. Use this time to concentrate on understanding each of the tested topics and strategies employed to answer questions.
During month 3 take 1 – 2 tests per week; try and complete each test on the weekends when excess time is available. Ensure you time yourself for each test.
For extra practice access the bonus online question bank on MGMAT website.
In any given week, redo incorrect questions from the previous week to ensure the material learned remains fresh in your head.
Once GMATprep tests are completed, reinstall the software and complete the tests, again.
Skim the internet for other available free tests (Kaplan, Princeton, etc.).

Yardy,
Good that you have a solid plan before you dive into the preparation. Here are my 2 cents...
MGMAT guides are the best for everything except CR and RC. CR Bible is WAY BETTER. Since you are in the early stages of prep, go ahead and order it. Do not waste your time reading MGMAT CR. Invest that time in CR Bible and I am sure you will have better pay back. RC, I don't think there should be a strategy guide for RC at all. You might better invest that time in reading "GMAT Fiction" that bb suggests in his posts, or some interesting book that you might find at the book store. I wasted a week each of prep time on each of the MGMAT CR and RC books. The rest of the MGMAT guides are GODSEND
You schedule seems a little too tight. You might have to be careful while setting goals like that. Just my thought
. Dont have to be true, but just wanted to warn you. One downside of such detailed studying based on a solid plan is that you will spend same amount of time on your strengths and weakness. Not sure if that is really desirable.
Good luck!!!

Hey vbetanabhatla,
Thank you for the feedback; I really appreciate it. I will definitely look into getting the CR Bible (even though I'm a bit strapped for cash at the moment). I understand your concerns about the "tightness" of my schedule, but more than likely I'll make changes to it as I go along and become more familiar with the GMAT's content; this is just a blueprint for me to follow in the initial stages of my studies. Kudos for taking the time out to lend me hand. I hope everything is going well with your prep.
