Let’s get straight into the meat of things. I have broken down this into four parts. My score Q49, V41 Overall 740

Part A - Preparation
Quant
Step 1 – Used the GMAT Club Math book to get and study all the formulae. It’s a great 120 pager and covers all the relevant stuff. Do create your own short version of the book to study on test day or mark the important stuff out to cover.
Step 2 – Manhattan Guides - Studied all strategies from the Manhattan guide and prepared my own shorthand version of the same
Step 3 – Official Guide - Solved all questions on a timer and maintained an error log
Step 4 – Manhattan Advanced Quant – Went through advanced strategies and solved all 15 problem sets

Verbal – SC & RC
Step 1 – Studied all concepts from Manhattan. Didn’t help much
Step 2 – Studied all concepts again from Wiley Aristotle books. This really helped me.
Step 3 – Official Guide - Solved all questions on a timer and maintained an error log
Step 4 – Solved all questions from Wiley Aristotle SC Grail and Idiom book

Verbal – CR
Step 1 – Studied all concepts from Powerscore CR
Step 2 – Official Guide - Solved all questions on a timer and maintained an error log
Didn’t need to do anymore here as the bible was more than enough

IR and AWA
Step 1 – Official guide and Question Pack of GMAC

Part B – Mock Tests
Purchase Official GMAC Exam Pack 1+Exam Pack2+Question Pack bundle. Attempt atleast 8-10 mock tests before test day (rest can be Manhattan). Mimic the exact exam conditions and

Part C – Test Day
Follow the same routine as mock tests.

Part D - Other Tips
Timing strategy – Follow the 8 questions /15 min timing strategy. Prepare a chart on where you should be after every 8 questions on the time remaining milestone and keep this in your head. Adjust your pace immediately if going fast or slow.
GMAT Club – Use this site to your advantage. Amazing help from experts
Error log – Always create relevant buckets for your errors, such as Type 1. Conceptual knowledge Type 2. Wrong application of correct concept error Type 3. Silly mistake error. Analyse your error log at the end of preparation and attack accordingly.

Congratulations on the great score and the admit. Really inspiring. Hope I get that score too! What was your initial test score before practice and how long did you study to get this score ?
