The score you get in the first diagnostic test is going to decide how many months of prep you require

Good luck :-)

Hi coolrahine,

Many Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) on the Study process to hit their 'peak' scores. Now that doesn't mean that you necessarily need 3+ months to study, but until we have some CAT data to work with (and you define your goals), there is no real way to answer your question. 2.5 months might be enough time, but it might not.

Which would be the best Quants course for getting higer level points in the rangr of 50-51 . I heard Gmat club tests are good ... Does it give scaled score for each test ... And how about enpoer gmat ... Am aiming for a score of 750 ..

Hi coolrahine,

A Q50-51 score requires an effort that most Test Takers are incapable of. To gauge YOUR chances, we need a realistic assessment of how you perform (your natural abilities and your progression through your studies). This is all meant to say that taking REALISTIC CATs at regular intervals is how we're going to measure your scoring potential. As we better define YOUR strengths and weaknesses, we can put together the proper Study Plan to maximize your chances at a high-level score. In the end though, you have to remember that the GMAT will give you the score that you EARN, so you are responsible for that performance on Test Day.

Hi coolrahine,

There are 2 difficult aspects to facing the Verbal section on Test Day (and neither has anything to do with the content):

1) Verbal questions have no 'safety net', which means if you make a silly mistake, then you will NEVER realize it - you'll just pick one of the wrong answers.
2) The Verbal section is the final 75 minutes of a 4-hour Exam; you'll naturally be tired, prone to making silly mistakes and at a certain point you will "just want the Test to be over...."

Doing well on practice problems and quizzes is great, but you still have to perform well in the context of the FULL Test - the CATs I mentioned will help measure those skills too.

Hi coolrahine,

The EMPOWERgmat Course is similar to a gym membership - you'll have access to ALL of the materials for as long as you need to study (then you can cancel at any time). You can choose the Study Plan that best fits your specific needs and timeframe. If you were just starting out, then I would recommend the full 3-month Study Plan, but since you've done a bunch of work already, one of the Score Booster Study Plans is probably more appropriate. I'd need to see a CAT result (or Official GMAT score) to make the most appropriate recommendation though.

Hi chandan1988,

Many Test Takers have difficulty in those subjects, so you're not alone. The good news is that those subjects are NOT going to show up too often on Test Day (and sometimes, when they do show up, they're actually really easy to solve), so you don't have to spend too much of your study time focused on them.

You mentioned that you are new to the Forums, but how long have you been studying? Are you just starting out?

Hey coolrahine

Here is a customized 2-3 month study plan that can help boost your score: https://www.gmatpill.com/gmat-practice-t ... study-plan

Use this as a guideline. You don’t have to follow it exactly but the structure of the study plan should be the same structure that you take in your approach. This helps to optimize your retention and learning.

As you study, we recommend that you focus on one particular subsection for multiple consecutive days before moving onto the next. You can see this in our study plan where we recommend 5 days on nothing but SC -- before moving onto CR and then RC.

You can choose to target the quant PS, where the geometry and inequality problems lie, before targeting the RC section.

Here is a geometry problem to help you get started: https://www.gmatpill.com/gmat-practice-t ... stion/1069
