Hey everyone,
my experience was very intense, and to be honest, stressful. I decided in the beggining of July I wanted to try to apply to MBAs.
So I took my first mock at GMAT official website without knowking absolutely nothing about the test and from there did mocks every week to find areas of improvement and define weekly study plans.
Probably that was a bad decision because I needed to be all over. It took me 3 whole weeks to conquer sentence correction alone!
As R1 deadlines approached, I decided to hire eGMAT course, which was the best decision, I absolutely adored the platform and the contect and how its was taught.
Only problem is that I would need much more time to complete the required steps of my study plan (defined after taking an eGMAT mock test).
So I did cut some corners, and it did work out! Got a 730 on August 28th, which I know is not amazing but was enought to get into HBS

Anyhow, I started studying 2 hours a day, but had to increase to 6 hours a day to be able to go through everything I felt I needed to cover.
Weekends were between 10~15 hours... Total study time: 200 hours
I also made sure to not study a lot the couple of days before the test
Mock 1 July 6th 600 (Q36, V36) - GMAT official (feeling ok)
Mock 2 July 10th 660 (Q44, V36) - Manhatan (feeling happy)
Mock 3 July 25th 660 (Q43,V37) - Manhatan (feeling worried)
Mock 4 August 2nd 620 (Q39, V35) - eGMAT (feeling terrible but still have some time)
Mock 5 August 9th 620 (Q41, V34) - eGMAT (feeling I'm not gonna make it in time - 19 days before test)
Mock 6 August 16th 720 (Q45, V44) - GMAT official (feeling super happy but why wasnt this the real one)
Mock 7 August 23rd 680 (Q45, V38) -eGMAT (don't like the score but under the impression I do better in GMAT official tests than the courses')
Real thing August 29th 730 (Q48, V 42)
I also prepared a video about it (in portuguese)
