First of all things, the best advice you would ever hear about cracking GMAT would be to relax and be the happiest person on earth before you give the exam. No matter what anyone says, the clarity of mind to think nothing else but the question in front of your screen is what will get you through. You would've learned up the formulas of math and rules of grammar but all it takes is little bit of common sense and lots of luck (no denying that).
CrackVerbal helped me kick start my preparation. Sessions on Sentence Correction, especially, helped me a lot to get my concepts right not in terms of grammar but in terms of what GMAT tested. Although I didn't get a great verbal score, but I probably would have found it much harder to get that without CrackVerbal's help. Overall, my preparation for CAT and inherent love for Math helped me get a decent score in Quant.
In terms of preparation, to be honest, I didn't really prepare hard. I used to just give mocks time to time and analyze them to the smallest detail. I had given myself 3 months to prepare, but overall I think I didn't spend more than a month. It just proves its not the number of months you put, its the number of hours you've actually studied that matter.
I was very superstitious and wore blue the day I wrote my exam. That's about it.
