Hello, Sanjana,
First of all, welcome to the GMAT club, and best luck for your preparations. GMAT is not as easy as we assume. GMAT math is logic, and GMAT verbal is a real test of English as a language. So, we recommend you to look for reliable resources.
We will first recommend you to appear for a free diagnostic test on
https://www.mathrevolution.com. Also, check our free trial pack and free-video lesson.
Your diagnostic score will clarify what plan you should adopt to beat the GMAT. An initial mock rating will help to understand your concept knowledge of both the sections. Considering your target score as 700, remember various possible combinations to achieve a score of 700 or above: V37/Q50, V39/Q49, V43/Q45.
So, we have indirectly answered your question. We would suggest preparing both sections simultaneously as it will give you the confidence to take as many as mock tests possible. You will also be able to judge yourself on various skills and have enough time to strengthen the topic(s) in which you require more time. Follow below-mentioned plan 1 and plan 2 :
Plan 1: Basic concept building --- try 600 level question--- take mock test ---- learn alternative methods and shortcuts ---- try 700+ level question --- take mock tests.
For verbal– Revise your grammar basics by GMAT grammar book or Aristotle grail for sentence correction. For RC and CR, try solving the 700+ level question.
For math, yes, basics are musts. You should visit our website

To strengthen the basic concept on various topics like arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and word problems, you should opt for a 5-hour Math Review lesson. Solve as many questions as you can relate to different topics.
Plan 2: Once your basics are strong, we recommend learning quick and alternative approaches to solve questions to save you the time. Q 51 shortcut will help you do so.
