Please follow the following plan for the next 40 days (you don't need more
than 40 days).

Integrated Reasoning:
PDF: IR Class Session ... solve and watch the video

AWA:
PDF: AWA - GMAT ... watch the video

Study Plan
90-120 hours overall (depending on your progress and performance in
Mock 1)

NOTE: This step is going to help only those students who have finished
watching ALL the live / video sessions and have done all the pre-works.

After revising (all classes) compulsory prework, write a mock test (GMAT-
Prep 1 – download from www.mba.com) ... write the entire test. Don’t skip
any section. Do the entire test in one sitting.

After identifying your weak areas, follow the entire study plan (as given
below). Ideally this should take no more than 120 hours.

From this point onwards, all your practice MUST be done with a
countdown timer, not just a simple clock. If you don’t take this piece of
advice seriously, you won’t score well, no matter how much you prepare.
Quant:
Take an estimate of the number of questions you have to solve.
Always solve at least 30 questions at a stretch in one hour (2 minutes per
question).
1. (Compulsory) Quant 700-800 collection
2. (Optional) Recent DS (218 + 218) questions collection
3. (Optional): Quant latest collection
4. Tests from Portal

CR:
Take an estimate of the number of questions you have to solve.
Always solve at least 30 questions at a stretch in roughly 50 minutes
(ideally 100 seconds per question).
1. Extra Practice questions in each area (Inference, Boldface, Paradox,
Weaken, Strengthen, Flaw, Evaluate, and Assumptions) from “CR topic-
wise practice PDF”
2. (Compulsory) OG and OG VR, Official Advanced
3. (Compulsory) CR Latest (most important) + Add on … some questions
are repeated intentionally in this collection because we feel you need to
look at the logic involved in them once again.
4. Tests from Portal

RC:
Take an estimate of the number of passages / questions you have to
solve. Always solve at least 4 passages at a time: passage with 3
questions (5 min overall – reading the passage and answering the
questions) / passage with 4 questions (6.5 min overall – reading the
passage and answering the questions)
Concepts: OCCTAAVE has been discussed in detail in the videos (60
passages over 4 Videos)
RC 700-800 Level Latest Questions
Practice: OG, OG VR (Verbal Review), Official Advanced
Tests from Portal
SC
Take an estimate of the number of questions you have to solve.
Always solve at least 30 questions at a stretch in 30 minutes (ideally one
minute per question).
1. Concept Videos / the 2 PPTs / Class Sessions (videos)
2. OG, OG VR, Official Advanced (also watch videos)
3. SC Latest 700-800 Level Questions by Sandeep Gupta (most crucial)
- this is a set of about 700 questions in SC ... if you can get 90% accuracy
on this, your exam won't be a problem at all
4. Tests from Portal

MOST CRUCIAL STEP IN SC: IF YOU DON'T FOLLOW THIS STEP,

YOU WILL NOT IMPROVE beyond 70%accuracy.

For all the questions in SC Latest, you must write your brief solution and
check from Manhattan Prep forums / GMAT Club (only expert replies).

You must make sure that you use only grammar (rules), meaning, and
idiom to eliminate. Don't use intuition at all.

AWA (optional, you may skip this altogether):

After the video (you will need the session handout), please refer to the
Model answers to AWA questions (just read five sample topics and
answers a day prior to the test). You will ensure a grade of 5-6. A grade
of 4 is absolutely acceptable.

IR (optional, you may skip this altogether):

After watching the video and solving the relevant PDF, please follow the
following steps for IR:
1. Solve "IR questions - real GMAT.PDF" fully (39 questions) and check
all solutions ... Some of the questions in this document are common with
the session handout but there are a lot of new questions.
2. Solve "OG online supplement - IR 50 questions.PDF" (50 questions)
fully and refer to each solution.
3. Solve "TOP-GMAT's Integrated Reasoning Content.PDF" (72
questions) fully and refer to each solution. This is tougher level practice.
YOU CAN ENSURE a grade of 7-8 by doing all the above steps. BUT
don’t sweat this topic much. Isn’t all that important.
The most critical step in your preparation:

Mock Tests to take before the real test:

I recommend the following tests: GMAT Prep 1 to 6 – download from

www.mba.com

In addition, use the extensive practice on our website.

Book your exam date when you feel that your worst day performance can't
be lower than 730.

All the best for your GMAT 99th percentile dream and admit to the
business school of your choice!
