I would say take a couple of full length tests after you are done with all the unique questions. Based on your results formulate your startegy. Take the analogy of body building: if you already have strong biceps you donot want to spend time doing hundreds of bicep building sets. Once you have identified the weakness spend most time on your weakness. GMAT awards generalists - you won't get tough CR questions on the exam no matter how good you are in CR , if you screw mid range SC questions.

I think BB's comment is invaluable... You have done tons of questions. However, going back to OG and reasoning out why an answer choice is correct and why incorrect will give you more benefit. If you know the rules behind say SC you will be able to apply them come test day. If you dont, no matter how many questions you do you will never have the fundamentals. You will learn how to answer that question (and since you have gone through them once you probably remember some) but not why that is the correct answer.

This time I am not making the same mistake, which is do tons of problem and do not review. I do 5 SC, 5 CR and 1 RC passage for about 5+10+10 ~ 30 minutes, every morning before leaving for work. In the evening I review these carefully for about an hour. I try do about 1 hour of reading from the GMAT fiction reading list after that.

I like AbhiJ's idea. I will take a test soon and find out if I lacking in any area. I will try the Kaplan 800 as well. Thanks everyone!

sanjuro9,
I finished OG Verbal 2nd.

abhi47,
I picked up a used copy of K800 and did few problems. I think the quality of the questions will not disappoint me. Thank you!
