Yes, you can prepare personally with dedicated hard work and focus and revision at its best. If you can give maximum mock exams you can score 320+. Various online books like Kaplan for words, Chandresh agrwal for Quants and logic will help you in preparation.

You may join a coaching institute but only if required. Self-study at your own pace is the best way. Take plenty of mock tests, by taking mock tests or practice tests you will know which areas you have to improve on and so on. In fact one should begin by taking a practice test.
