750 (Q50 V41) - Research and strategy are the key.

Question

So I started my prep 2 and a half months ago but, I started researching about the best material suitable for me long before that.
So this is what I suggest... Before you start preparing there are two things you must absolutely do.
1. Take a mock.
2. Research everything you can about the exam.

I chose egmat for verbal and dint use anything other than OG, reviews and gmatclub for quants.

After doing this... Stop thinking about everything else... No need to even look at other material.
Just start preparing.
Take a mock every 15 days to check your progress.
I did not buy any mocks. I used every free mock I could lay my hands on.

Once you reach - 30 of your target score, leave all material... Gmatclub will have made an error log for you...

Solve all the questions that you had previously gotten incorrect. You might still get a lot of incorrect questions.
Don't worry.

After all this gets over.
Start solving only 600 level questions.
Remember... Gmat penalizes you heavily for getting easy questions wrong.

Practice so much that you don't get a single 600 level question wrong... Especially in verbal..

By the time you are done with this, you will be quite near to your test date...
Study a bit for IR and AWA.
Don't sweat it.... Studying in the last week won't help much...
Trust yourself that you have followed a system...
You will surely do well.

Apart from these, I had gotten 15 free mocks from Experts Global.

Wow!! Congratulations!! Amazing score.

Any specific strategy you followed for daily practice of questions? Since two and a half months seems like a short period to cover enough practice questions, even if they are all quality questions. Curious to know your approach.

Thanks,
GyM

As I mentioned, even though my prep took 2 and a half months, I started my research long before that.
I researched all the possible material and then narrowed it down to the best for myself.

This research gave me an upper hand as now, I was familiar with the exam and knew exactly what was expected of me.

Since I was home for the summer, I did not have much on my plate and so spent almost all day on the prep.

This is how I cracked GMAT is 2 and a half months.
