Thanks Magoosh.
Your help is really appreciated.
I have a full time Job and hence it becomes difficult due to work constraints to choose a day other than weekend (hence the question)
I will mostly select my date on a friday.

Thanks for the study plan as well.
I have started with the Basics as of now and would be picking up by next week.
I got a score of 650 in the 1st of the two tests that GMAT gives for free.

Can you please let me know the best test series that I should buy from the given list that GMATClub has posted?
Also, please let me know the stages during my prep that I should give these tests

Regards,
Ameya

Dear Ameya,
First of all, I would recommend following the Magoosh plan that accompanies that study plan. You may also find these recommendations helpful:

For some of the other books, see:
https://magoosh.com/gmat/2013/gmat-book-reviews-2013/

If you follow the Magoosh study plan, that plan has several practice tests worked in as part of the schedule. Do not, DO NOT, waste any more of the GMAT Prep tests until you are further along in your studying, near your test date. I'm sorry to say, it was a very poor idea to waste one of those precious official tests on an earlier-in-the-process estimation of where you were beginning.

Does all this make sense?
Mike :-)

With a full time job, Sunday mornings are ideal provided you do not party on Saturday night. Review some basics on Saturday but generally just chill. Go for a jog, listen to some music, spend some time with friends etc. Just relax, sleep well the night before and then take the test at a time you are most comfortable keeping your natural wake up time and travel time in mind.

As for when to take the official prep tests, check out a post I wrote some time back: https://www.gmatclub.com/forum/veritas-prep-resource-links-no-longer-available-399979.html#/2012/08 ... prep-test/
A 650 to start with is quite decent.

Also, before you buy a test series, you can easily check it out for free. Check out our free full length CAT here: https://www.gmatclub.com/forum/veritas-prep-resource-links-no-longer-available-399979.html#/free-gm ... tice-test/
