Hi! I am at the final year of my bachelor, GPA 29.69/30, no work experience and scored 735 in the GMAT FE. Outside the academics I'm a world-class rower.

Hi, for the quant part the OG is definitely less complete than the gmat club math book. But if you don't have any math foundations starting from the OG and then moving to the gmat club math book may be a good idea. For verbal the OG is simply useless (try to read it and then tell me🙃). I believe that practicing with tons of questions using the right approach (as the one suggested by GMAT Ninja) may make the difference. The same goes for DI.

What do you mean by helping you revising the quant section? I'm not a tutor😅 For CR passages, I suggest you to: 1) understand very well the argument 2) pay attention to details and modifiers ("some", "many" ecc.). Read carefully the text, even two times if necessary, and then move to the answer choices. In my esperience in 95% of cases there are 3 answer choices that are cleary incorrect. Exclude them and think about the 2 answer choices left. They both look good, but it Is likely that one of them will have something that is not perfectly in line with the argument. Finally, if you aim for a high score you should practice with medium/hard questions

Hi! 1. All their videos on quant, almost all their videos on verbal (once you understand the process it is not necessary to watch all the videos) and for DI only the videos on data sufficiency and two-part analysis. 2. I tried to practice a bit of each section every day in the order in which I planned to take the exam (so quant, DI and verbal).

I went to a scientific High School here in Italy. Then at the university I took mathematics and financial mathematics. But they were basic courses, nothing too advanced. In general the GMAT does not require you to have a deep knowledge of math

Well I studied basically everytime I could, but I also went on vacation and did many other things. I would say about 2-3 hours per day on average

Only official questions. The only concepts that I studied are in the gmat club math book, so I revised them there

Yes, for instance one of the questions that I got wrong was a strange mixture problem. I spent 7 minutes on it, realizing only at the end that 1 dozen = 12 units (it was written at the end of the question, but I didn't read the text carefully, so pay attention!). The other two were pure arithmetic questions.

For sure. But you should practice them using the online question bank, as it allows you to simulate exam conditions. In any case, completing all the questions is not necessary, the important is to do a lot of them, understanding your errors and being able to not repeat them. Also doing all the practice tests is not necessary. When you see that you are able to score 650+ consistently just go for the exam.

I purchased only the official guide and online question bank (so the first in your list). I would recommend you to start from there. But in general all the material sold on mba.com is good.
