I started my prep mid January and took my first exam in late March, basically April and scored a 685, then I studied for another month and scored a 725 on retake.

1st exam study plan:
I took the free gmat practice test to see where I was at, and scored a 605, which was pretty low considering my goal of 700+. My quant was definitely my weakest point. I did some research on how to best start prep. I started with just doing OG practice questions for a couple of weeks but did not see much improvement. After doing more research, I found TTP by Scott and his team. While I was initially deterred by the price, I decided that the cost would pay dividends in the future and decided to give it a shot. For me it was probably the best decision that I made. If you do not have a foundation in QR or a background in math, which both applied to me, I HIGHLY recommend that you give TTP a shot. Their course for QR is extensive and will require some commitment, but if you stick with it, you will see a huge improvement in your QR score. I basically went through the entire TTP course (except for the practice questions, I only did a couple per section). Once I finished TTP, I moved back to the OG practice question, and every week I did all of the OG GMAT practice tests (yes, all 6, two times each).

2nd study session:
Because I had exhausted all of the OG prep material and TTP, i knew I wanted to take the test in a month, but I was honestly at a loss on what to use to study next. Thankfully, I was already aware of GMAT Club because they would always be my go to resource for question explanations and found their quiz section. I also HIGHLY recommend you give GMAT Quiz subscription a try. It is not very expensive and their question bank is HUGE. Every day, I basically took the GMAT test through the GMAT CLUB quizzes. I.e. i took 23 VR questions, 20 DI questions, and 21 QR questions all under test like conditions. I did that for about a month and got the score that I got.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions and I would love to help where I can!

TLDR: get TTP, especially if you need help on quant. Get GMAT Club quiz subscription for practice. And obviously get all of the OG test prep materials
