I'm a working professional and currently, I'm trying to study at least 4-6 hours on the weekdays and about 6 hours on the weekends, as this is what my schedule (and mental capacity) permits. I also don't have a set test date in mind so I'm trying to take advantage of time and study at a good pace. During the weekday, I'll do about 20 practice problems each on Quant and Verbal and then review it. Then I'll commit about an hour to TTP and another 30-60 minutes on Manhattan's All the Verbal. During the weekend, similar structure but committing more time to TTP and Manhattan. Verbal's my weak point right now so I'm considering on switching my current routine to be Verbal focused (30 minutes TTP and 1-1.5 hours of All the Verbal).
Can someone let me know if this is a good strategy and if there are any recommendations? Again, I don't have a set test date but if I were to choose, I'd probably try to take one in 6 months (have been studying for 4 so far).

It seems you are really in love with GMAT. Studying for 4-6 hours and for 6 months? wow! Don't you want to do something else?
4-6 hours on a weekday for a working professional does not sound realistic. It seems too much. I don't think one can maintain concentration and quality for that long.
I would cut it down to 2 but very productive hours in the morning before work and perhaps a few hours of reading books each night to help with your verbal. Something like GMAT Fiction to help with RC and SC.
It is personal but I personally focused on one topic (e.g. Quant) first and then another (Verbal) later. It requires one to continue reviewing their quant skills over time as they do verbal but it also allows one to vanquish one foe and fight one war at a time (in addition to your job and pandemic that is). Something to consider.
What is the purpose of doing 40 questions per day? You should aim to take the test in 3-4 months of starting your prep. 6 months is frankly too long - you will forget what you learned during months 1 and 2 by the time you reach month 6. I really don't know why you are burning up so much time but you are spending about 300% more time than you optimally should.

Sorry, should've clarified. Not doing 4-6 hours per day on the weekdays, just the total (4-6 hours per day would destroy me). Realistically, I aim for 2 hours a day on the weekday, 2-3 times a week. The TTP itself takes a while to complete (1 practice quiz takes me upwards 30 minutes, assuming 15 questions) and there are about 4-6 quizzes per module in addition to the lessons. Do you have any good sample study guides?

Hello Sensitivechins,
Welcome to the GMAT Club. It is one of the great platforms to get information about the GMAT official test, Study plan, Section wise instructions, etc.
To assist you better, we would request you to write back with the following questions:
1. What are your current score and target score? (You can mention the Diagnostic test score also)
2. How do you rate yourself in Quant and Verbal?
In a generalized way, to crack GMAT, you need a disciplined study plan, command on basic concepts, exposure to agile approaches, reliable resources, updated comprehensive material and mock tests, and an expert with whom you will be connected throughout your preparations.
You may also see to connect with experts online for your preparation.
As a GMAT instructor, I will first recommend taking our Free diagnostic test https://www.mathrevolution.com/diagnostic/dtExamMember and receiving a comprehensive study guide by topic. This test will clearly help you understand your weak areas. There are also many free materials available in the GMAT Club.
Time is precious and unstoppable at the same time. You can schedule a counseling session for 30 mins with one of our experts: https://calendly.com/mathrevolution/1-on-1-session for detailed advice on your current study plans and strategies.
If you have a recent mock test-score available with break up, kindly send it back to me.
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 sections.
Since we are a math expert, we will recommend you go through our post on the GMAT club, which gives a complete break-down of Math. Breakdown of GMAT math questions and types: https://gmatclub.com/forum/overview-of- ... l#p1641411
We appreciate your time and patience in reading this reply.
Should you need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected]
Success is within your reach.
Good luck!
