Hi,
I gave my GMAT (1st attempt) on 9th September'15 and got a devastating score of 590( Q-46 V-26).
I plan on giving it again ASAP, as I plan to apply this year for Msc Finance.
I really need somebody who can help me chalk out a plan as to how and what should I do? Where do I start?
Problem I am facing:
I am always confident with the answer I choose, but end up answering it wrong.(in Verbal)
Books I referred during my 1st attempt:
1) GMAT
OG 2015
2) Jamboree prep books
Looking forward to your helpful responses.
Thanks in advance
Hi Sakshi,
I think I was in a similar dilemma as yours at the start of the year, and I think I can answer your question.
To reach your score goal of 690, you'll have to score a V37-V38, if you keep your quant score at V46. However, it would be wise to improve your push your quant score ahead upto Q50, because the course that you aim to do is Maths-intensive (Yes I know this, I am a CFA Level 2, and I have friends in US who applied for similar courses). So chances are that the admissions committee would take a more important look at your quant score.
That being said, to be brutally honest, you cannot improve your Verbal score in 15 days to such a high level. You need atleast a month's time (full time) if you plan to reach that score. You'll be better off improving your quant score in such a short period of time.
Still, here is what I would suggest:
1) Prepare for Quant from GMATClub questions / tests.
2) For Verbal, choose from any of the online experts, such as
eGMAT,
Magoosh, etc. I personally prefer
eGMAT as they are oriented towards non-natives like us.
You could PM me and I would be happy to share with you few other study materials that I have.
