GMAT Prep Regiment

Hi all,

I'm planning to beginning prep to take the GMAT later this year and I'm looking for a good comprehensive study plan. I've done a little research into the various providers (Kaplan, Manhattan, etc.), and have decided I want to fully self study, meaning no classes. Can anyone make a recommendation for the materials they used as well as how they structured their study time? I'm giving myself about 3 months and currently have the bandwidth to put some real time into it. Open to any and all advice.

I think @BreakingOutOfPWM" @hominem"

Thanks!

MGMAT Books All Official Guides Extra CATs from GMAC gmatquantum.com

Don't remember my exact structuring but I took a practice test cold, then went through all of the MGMAT books, then took the gmatquantum.com math course. I took a practice test every few weeks to gauge progress.

I self studied with the above and went from 620 cold to 740 actual in 10-12 weeks

 

I went to a free class of theirs and decided not to continue after the teacher said something like "there are 30 of you in the room and only 10% of people score 700+ statistically so we are not going to focus on 700+ level questions" or something to that extent
