Something that may make your studies more efficient is an error log. It'll help keep track of the questions you got incorrect and remind you of any places you tend to trip.

Hi abudhabi1,

If you are talking about learning things for GMAT, then I don't think you should be focusing on learning things quickly. If you are short of time and wish to take GMAT soon, then you need to make sure that you can dedicate good number of hours for studying every day. Only then, you can finish learning the concepts and the methodology part. Let me help you with the right process.

How to prepare for GMAT in the right way?  
Before you start preparing for any test, it's important to understand the structure of the test, what is tested on it and then prepare accordingly. In this case, GMAT is a test which focuses on your application skills along with the conceptual knowledge. So, just learning the concepts and practicing questions without focusing on the right methodology will not do any good. So, I suggest you to first focus on the methodology to solve questions of a particular topic and only then move to practicing questions of that topic.

So, the right way to prepare would be to first

learn the concepts of a topic,  
 learn the right methodology to solve questions of that topic 
 practice a few questions of that topic to solidify your learning and then move to the nest topic 
 Repeat the process for all the topics

And working on weak areas is equally important. You move to the next topic only if you get a decent accuracy in the previous topic. If not, you revisit the concepts, fill the conceptual gaps and then move to the next topic only when you are 100% confident. There are a couple of articles which you might find helpful.

Hi abudhabi1,

Many GMATers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores, so trying to compress a GMAT Study Plan into a much shorter period of time might actually work against your goals. In the broader sense, to answer your question, we need to define your timeframe and your overall Score Goal.

From your original post, it's not clear whether you are just beginning your studies or you have put in some significant study time already.

If you're just beginning, then it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test so that we can assess your current skills, strengths and weaknesses; you can access 2 for free from www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). If you want to do a bit of practice first, so that you can familiarize yourself with the general content and question types first, then that's fine - but you shouldn't wait too long to take that initial CAT. A FULL CAT takes about 3.5 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have those scores, you should report back here and we can come up with a study plan.

I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline and goals:
1) What is your goal score?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
