Greetings, I've been self studying GMAT for a few months and haven't been able to reach the pace needed, and so I decided to look for tuition centers while still continuing my self study. Here are the details of my situation
- I've been doing self study online through TargetTestPrep for a few months
- I'm deciding to study with ScoreLeap (Indian based/Online) in the mornings (4hrs/ Sat & Sun) Jan - Mid April
- Evening from 1pm - 5pm at an offline instituition (8hrs/ Sat & Sun) Feb - Mar
I'll continue my self study through TTP along with both the sessions above.
What are your thoughts on this study plan? Is it too scattered or should I focus on one?
P.S I plan to get my scores within May 2023
Thank you, have a wonderful day.

Hi. It’s a good question you’re asking. Many people don’t and I complement you for bringing it up. I think it’s important to not be so involved in the studying that you’re missing big warning signs and big opportunities. Many people just methodically and mechanically keep studying and flipping chapters without trying to preserve and save every little piece of valuable information. So I encourage you to do it and I hope you are doing it.
No, about your question, I am not a fan of using multiple prep products. There are situations where you could use multiple courses or you could use one for Verbal and one for quant but I generally recommend picking one and following it to the fullest extent. The reason is that, first of all it’s a lot of work and you’ll have a lot of duplication. This can get tiresome and can stretch out your prep and burn you out. Second, there’s different methodologies and different approaches, both of them will work but you will regularly have to make a decision , kind of like if you had two advisers and one told you to go left and the other one told you to go right and you had to choose which advisor you trusted more. That’s unnecessary stress and decision making if perhaps one road is only 5% shorter or faster, it hardly matters. Third reason, assuming that one particular course is not enough to get you the results, what makes you think the two is enough, maybe you should use three or four at the same time. It’s a logical fallacy that can almost make you discounting discard the strategies in the course and I would argue both of these courses will get you where you need to go. Some people may argue for one or the other but I would suggest pick one of them and stick to it. Stick to it like your life depends on it, which it does 😂, but stick to the course and follow every strategy exactly as it’s outlined. It is about studying and is not about improvising or adapting strategies that tutors who were paid hundreds of dollars per hour develop. You should trust the professionals, your job is to figure out how to best retain them and how to best apply them. If you bought a new car, you probably wouldn’t go and start messing with the brakes and rewiring the fuel system, instead you would probably learn how to drive it and focus on the road rules. That is my suggestion as well and by the way, you can’t drive two cars at the same time 😇

I would not encourage you to study from two sources and get yourself in dilemma later of which strategy to follow.
Incase of quant it's not an issue but verbal especially SC basic foundation has to be solid.. so go ahead with source which helps you attain high accuracy while solving official questions...
