Greetings everyone,
I'm currently prepping for the IELTS Academic by doing a free course on edX and then I'll purchase a practice book to start doing full tests. Afterwards, I'll start prepping for the GRE, and I need a study plan for 3 - 4 months maximum. I'm thinking of doing the self-guided course from Manhattan along with studying the Manhattan strategy guides. However, I remember in the verbal part, Manhattan's material was really tough and hard to master, so I was wondering if another study guide could be recommended as I'm a non-native speaker? I want to follow this with lots of practice from the official guide and its supplemental books as well as Powerprep and Manhattan's MSTs.
Does this sound like a good plan?
1) Do the Manhattan on-demand course
2) Finish Manhattan Strategy Guides
3) Practice from Powerprep, Official Guide, Manhattan, and Kaplan.
4) Do Full Exams
I was wondering if this is adequate, or should I add something? I'm planning to do this in 3 - 4 months of studying.
My weakest point, as a non-native speaker, is probably the esoteric vocabulary. So I'm also wondering how I can tackle the verbal part without frying my brain?
Thanks ahead for your help
