Hey guys,
I just decided to take the plunge into business school and finally sat down and took the first power prep practice test to have a baseline to start with. I scored a 160 Quant and 157 Verbal on it with zero prior knowledge or studying, and my goal is to get to at least 325 (hopefully around 164-165 Quant and 160-161 verbal). I have purchased the Manhattan Prep books (5 lb. book, math strategies, verbal strategies) as well as the OG book and also was given an OG verbal book from my cousin.
What would you guys recommend for a study plan and resources to utilize? I can't afford to dish out a grand on a live or online course and would prefer to stick with books and practice exams if possible. My vocab is a huge weakness and I am making it a priority to work on that, but I definitely am interested in something that can take me to the next level in Quant. I can take as long as I need to get the score I desire so time is not an issue. Any suggestions? All advice is greatly appreciated.
End goal is M7 from a non-target state school with a 3.6 in finance and 4 years work experience as a financial analyst.
Thank you in advance!!

Hi there!
Welcome to the Club!
For Quants, DO NOT KEEP SOLVING QUESTIONS ONLY. Make sure you know which topic is what, understand the concept in depth not superficially. If you think you do not know anything you can study from Manhattan there or else there is a free QUANTS review PDF available on ETS website. That could be of much help. And yes, it is very easy to make silly mistakes on the test, so, keep a habit of not skipping an part while reading a quants question. Because ETS is pretty good and tweaking questions. And the forum has question from many sources in fact from good sources as well so, you don't have to shell out anything for it.
Now, for Verbal, Although I am not an expert but, the only thing I'll suggest is DO not focus on one thing! What do I mean by this is , what people think is they can learn words and this will help them the cross the road. This is a myth. Focus on all the sections equally i.e. on RC, and on TC and SE as well. And similar to quants do not keep on solving in verbal there are limited types of mistakes you make, they are repetitive understand that. And for other things the forum has many post by experts you can refer them.
Hope this helps!
