Advice for myself if I could do it again: take one week off for crunch time and study full time, then take a hr each day with full test every Saturday for a month. One more week off for crunch time and take the test.
Same boat - happy to meet a study buddy

Same here. Biggest struggle has been accountability and actually consistently studying daily 😩
Use Magoosh. I found it much easier to learn using the videos and practice problems on there instead of trying to just study the book. Answer explanations were helpful too.
Just start practicing problems, the OG book has good number of problems and they start out easy to hard
Buy the full gmat official test bank, that’s the best practice by far.
Also, do the online practice, it better replicates the actual test vs. doing it in a book

I’ve done the OG questions but feel I could use more practice...
TTP for quant. No idea what to do for verbal
Biggest issue for me has been structure and resource overload

If you had a good SAT you’ll probably be fine. If you needed lots of prep back then, you’ll need some this time too!
Take a practice test cold to see where you’re scoring before you even start studying. This helped me come up with an appropriate study plan to hit my target score. Study by actively doing practice problems 90% of the time vs. passively reading study material. I went from a 710 - 760 following this approach!
