I started my GMAT prep by taking a PR class, my work paid for the course so I had no problems with it. It really gave me the structure I needed to get started on my long long long GMAT road. My first practice exam I scored a 470, it was really crushing as I was planning on looking at top 15 programs and knew I needed at least a 680. According to my instructor it was going to be very hard to make up the large gap but it was definitely possible.
Things got better, when the next week I was able to pull a 580 and I figured the road to 700 couldn't be that hard. Well by the end of the class I was able to score a 640 on the PR test. I went ahead and sat the test with the hopes that the PR test were lower scoring then the actual GMAT. A week after the class came to an end I sat the GMAT and scored a 640 (45, 32).
That's when I joined the forums and really became a student of the GMAT. I took a couple of months off from studying and then got back into by teaching GMAT math to a coworker. I decided that to get to the 700 mark my verbal was going to need a lot of improvement in SC and I needed a lot more work in DS for math.
I went back through the OG and purchased the Verbal and Quant supplements. As suggested by basically everyone here I bought the MGMAT SC book and read it twice. I also took a ton of practice test my second time around to make sure I was ready for the big day. Here is my breakdown of practice test.

After taking GMATPrep I decided that my range would probably be anywhere from a 680 to a 740. I took the day off of work the day before and just relaxed and made sure I got a good night sleep. Woke up ready to finally beat the GMAT.
End result.
710 (49, 40) - I'd also like to add that I'm very ADD and I remember another posting talking about the struggles he had with the GMAT. I have documentation that I'm ADD and have been since I was in the second grade, but I did not request any additional time for the test as you normally have to show that you struggle academically.
I can't thank the people on this forum enough for the help I've received and I finally got to make a 700club post!
