Studying for GRE Yr 2

I've been studying for the GRE since June of 2020 with the hopes of applying September 2021. However, scores didn't pan out and work was extra hard that I decided against applying. Weirdly enough, my scores have been declining since I started studying instead of getting better.
I took a little break since my last test in June 2021 and now I'm back to studying mode in October of 2021.
I plan to study for 4-5 months, slowly and steadily. My question is which study prep is better. I'm contemplating between two study methods:
1. Gregmat Verbal + TTP Quant
2. Gregmat 2 month plan over 4 months. This focuses on building basics and working through problems from Manhattan (Month 1) and then focusing on ETS problems (Month 2).
Supplements: I have the Manhattan Stratgy Guides, which were cool too? Should I go through these again or the MGMAT Foundation book?
Anyone done both Gregmat and TTP and have objective opinions about these? I have tried both and love both, just don't know where to spend most of my time. Plus my scores always went down test after test, so makes it harder to know which one worked better for me.
Anyways, thanks to those who reply!

Hi There!
Although, I have not followed either of the plans, but I would like to suggest something.
A. The longer you stretch, the more lightly you take it. What I mean is, get a date, then plan. Because if you have a date for the test, you will have deadline to prepare.
B. The above study plans, will surely help, try to add sizzlers of your own. Do not blindly follw anything.
Hope this helps!
Regards
S

Hi,
Please share more information like how many hours a day/week you practiced and how regular were you. Also what was the score in every attempt.
In general, people make 2-6 months plan and get done with it. If both english and math fundamentals are weak, then that would require a longer preparation duration.
But math being high school standard in general, if you focus on english (assuming english is not your first language), then even a 3 month study plan would work.
Good luck,
Regards,
