At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

Hi
I am preparing for gmat from last 5 months an hour a day(Hectic Official life and time devoting personal life),which is offcource not sufficient.So far i have reached 500 level average q28 -36 and v 16- 26.
I am planning my exam by December end. My goal is 680 and also i need a balanced score.
Presently i am reading Power score CR bible and i have dedicated this month(OCT) completely to CR.
Nov would be for SC(20 Days) and RC(10 Days), for SC i have manhattan and RC i dont have any specific book but i have Princeton review,Kaplan premier,Kaplan 800 ,barrons and Offcource OG12 , if prescribed i can buy manhattan CR too.
Dec would be for complete quant i still have to read manahattan Number prop, Word prob, Geometry.
Also i am left with bunch of practice tests
Kaplan 4 CATS
Manhattan 5 CATS
Princeton review 2 CATS
And offcource GMAT club test.
I am looking for an improvement of 180 points and have almost 2 months, Now i can study for 4 Hours every day or even more than that.
Things which i have already started doing after my last manhattan CAT 500 was maintaining error log( simple hand written- Old classic style), started reviewing verbal again and quant is next on my list and offcource from the experts prescribed books.
Experts please guide me how should i distribute my cat exams also is my study plan good. Please let me know if you think i can make some changes or do things differently.

My suggestion:
You need to put equal amount of time in both Quant and Verbal. Sure you are scoring a little higher in Quant, but then it is easier to get a higher raw score in Quant. Say, if your Quant is average 30 and Verbal is average 24, I will not recommend you to put in much more effort in Verbal. I would recommend you to work on both simultaneously. If you are studying for 2 hrs everyday, work on Quant for 1 hr and on Verbal for 1.
Also, a month for one section and then another for another section isn't exactly a good idea because it will get boring. You need to keep shifting from one topic to another but only after you finish a substantial part of the topic. e.g. I suggest my students to go through the basics of say, algebra in 2-3 days and then practice some questions for another 2-3 days. Thereafter, pick up Geometry. Similarly, take two days to go through the theory of CR, then practice CR questions for another 2 days. Then go on to SC etc. Later in their preparation, people like to solve and thoroughly analyze 10 questions of each section everyday.
No need to take CATs right now. Work on your basics, get them in order and try more application based question in un-timed circumstances first. Learn from your mistakes. Spend more time in figuring out the 'why' and 'how' of things you do not understand. Taking CAT doesn't tell you anything except where you are right now. One test a month is sufficient for that. If the only practice questions you have are those in CATs, then take a test and put in a week to review all the questions, note down takeaways and revisit concepts you don't fully understand.
That said, I must tell you that different things work for different people. These are my suggestions based on people I have come across in my profession.

Hi Karishma, That was such a nice and important suggestion. Truly appreciate it,also majorly i am done with CR strengthen, weaken , assumtion and must be true completed.So in a day or two i will shift my focus to SC and as you said i will kinda mix things up....
My only concern is that can i finish all the material and achieve a score i am looking for in 2 months?
