Study plan for GRE and IELTS?

by mkamony Sat Apr 02, 2016 8:42 pm

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

We don't give personal study plans, but hopefully some other students will help you out! That said, your plan seems solid to me!
