I have completed MGMAT quant guides. Now I have OG, Powerscore CR, Manhattan SC with me. I have read somewhere in forums that we should do 20 quant questions, 8-10 verbal questions from OG everyday. I haven't taken full length practice test after my first GMATPrep-I and I don't want to take that unless I have studied enough CR and SC from the aforementioned books. Should I continue Quant from OG/Powerscore CR/Manhattan SC in parallel or CR/SC together after quant ? I thought of completing quant and then start reading CR/SC together devoting them 1 hr each/day and doing OG questions only after completing theory of CR/SC. I am planning to pick RC from next month. BTW, I solve quant questions from gmatclub everyday. My appointment is in second half of August.

Dear NonPlus,
I'm happy to respond.
I always recommend doing Q & V together, getting used to switching gears as much as possible. I think it would be good to do some Quant everyday and also some Verbal (CR or SC) everyday. In fact, I would urge you to get to RC sooner rather than later. Consistent practice is what builds long term memory. As much as possible, do at least one of every question format every single day. In math, make sure the topics are mixed and random: on the GMAT, question #9 could be about geometry, and then when you press enter, up pops question #10 about probability. The GMAT Quant forces you to jump from topic to topic throughout the section, so you need to practice that way. See:
GMAT Study Approaches: Systematic vs. Random
Segmented studying (first just this, then just that, ...) may seem organized, but that is not at all how the brain learns. The brain needs multiple exposures to new material before you really own it. You need to spiral through all the material, learning the superficial material first, and then going deeper on each pass. Ideally, you would learn a little about each question type each day, so that by the time of the test you have have dozens and dozens of exposures to the material for each question.
As for practice tests, the MGMAT books have a code in the back that should give you access to their 6 CATs. Besides the official GMATPrep material, the MGMAT practice GMAT CATs are probably the best available. Those are good for practice building up to a final GMATPrep experience close to the test. BTW, all the verbal MGMAT books are good.
Once again, I will praise the MGMAT SC book, possibly the best source on GMAT SC in print. I can't speak to the Powerscore book. I don't know whether you are a Magoosh student, but of course, Magoosh has an extensive library of SC video lessons. Here's a free one:

Also, every question has its own video explanation, and this accelerates the learning process. Here's a practice question:
