My first GMAT Mock Test [#permalink] New post   14 Jul 2015, 03:29
Hi Rich,

I need a suggestion on my prep strategy,

As my initial score of mock test is low, Am thinking to self study first.After reaching a 600+ score in my mock, Am planning to join an online
prep course so that I will fall in a decent score band.

Till now, I thought its a good strategy. But going through some of the posts on GMAT Club ,Am realizing that this strategy is an utter wastage of
time.

What do you think I can do. What ever it takes, I want to give my 100% to GMAT.

Hi shra1raju,

There are plenty of GMAT Course options out there, depending on how you want to go about studying. Most GMAT Companies offer some type of free materials (practice problems, Trial Accounts, videos, etc.) that you can use to 'test out' a product before you buy it. We have a variety of those resources at out site (https://www.empowergmat.com). I suggest that you take advantage of all of them then choose the one that best matches your personality, timeline and budget.

If you have any additional question, then just let me know.

Hi shra1raju,

In your past posts, you've described how you've been self-studying for a year and have had problems retaining what you've learned. Since THAT approach clearly has not worked for you, a significant change is required.

When was the last time you took a FULL-LENGTH CAT (and how did you score?)?
When are you planning to apply to Business School?

I haven't taken any mock test again. But am pretty sure on this, till now I haven't got so much to test through a mock it.
I know the fundamentals for each and every question type that appears on GMAT. But am no sure what strategy to so solve them.

Moreover, I didn't keep my motivation so long(I didn't revise the topics/formulas to refresh them), will there be any result if I change my
self study pattern??
Or Do I join an online course to move forward with GMAT??

Hi shra1raju,

To properly assess your situation, and put together a proper plan going forward, we need an accurate sense of your current abilities, strengths and weaknesses. Thus, you really should take a new FULL-LENGTH CAT (including the Essay and IR sections). Once we have that next CAT score, we can put together a plan.
