With a 395 cold mock and a 715+ target in 3-4 months, the first thing is to be realistic: that is a very large jump. Not impossible, but it will require fundamentals + consistency + a tight plan. Don’t try to use every resource.

I’d organize resources like this:

1. Studying concepts
- GMAT Ninja: excellent for Verbal/process.
- YouTube/free basics: useful for rebuilding Quant fundamentals.
- TTP/eGMAT/Magoosh: consider only if you need a structured full course and can afford/finish it.
- GregMat is great for GRE, but not a complete GMAT substitute.

2. Practice questions
- Official Guide + official question banks should be central.
- GMAT Club for targeted topic practice after you know your weak areas.

3. Sectional tests
- Official question banks if available.
- GMAT Club quizzes can help, but don’t overuse very hard questions.

4. Adaptive mocks
- Official MBA mocks are the most important.
- Use third-party mocks only for stamina/timing, not perfect score prediction.

Study structure:
- Month 1: rebuild basics, especially Quant and CR/RC foundations. Light untimed practice.
- Month 2: finish core concepts, start timed topic sets, keep an error log.
- Month 3: official questions, mixed timed sets, first serious mock cycle.
- Month 4: mocks, weak-area repair, pacing, review.

Since you like tracking, keep a simple dashboard: hours studied, questions done, accuracy by topic, slow-correct questions, and mock scores. But don’t let tracking become the work.

I built a free GMAT planning tool from real debrief patterns that may help map long score jumps and track realistic paths prepsignals.vercel.app

Main advice: one main learning path, official practice, error log, monthly diagnostics. Resource-hopping will hurt more than help.
