Most people are able to improve between 50 and 150 points - that should give you an estimate of what you can count on based on the diagnostic test you just took.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Step 4: <\/strong><\/span> <strong>Figure out your weaknesses<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Take a look at your practice test score and note the raw score distribution (you will get one three digit score such as 600 and 2 two-digit scores such as 35, 40 - those two are your raw scores for each of the sections. They have corresponding percentiles). See how you rank in each. Also, do a basic mistake analysis and understand which question types are the most challenging for you. The options are PS, DS, CR, RC, SC and potentially even more detailed such as probability, or assumption questions, etc. Use this information to build your study plan.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Step 5:<\/strong><\/span> <strong>Design your study plan - finally!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You need to build up your toolkit and get some ammo for the GMAT.

GMAT consists of several layers and it is important to master each one before moving on to the next - think of it as of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. There is no use in satisfying your social needs before you can take care of basic needs such as safety and food. The same is here, if you don't know the underlying principles that GMAT is testing (such as grammar, arithmetic, etc) there is no use in solving hundreds of questions or taking multiple GMAT tests. This means that if English is not your native language, you should not work on the RC strategies if you can't understand half of the passage - you need to get comfortable reading long passages of text before moving on. To illustrate this principle, consider the following hierarchy for the GMAT:<\/p>\n<div>Illustration:<\/div>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"gmat pyramid.gif\" src=\"..\/..\/forum\/download\/file.php?id=11470\" alt=\"gmat pyramid.gif\" \/><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>In the General Knowledge stage, cover basics for a chapter\/section\/area<\/li>\n<li>In the Question Strategies stage, start practicing questions either for the area you just covered or for an entire section but don't attempt questions for sections you have not covered yet<\/li>\n<li>In the Test Strategies, start taking full length tests and practice on putting questions and knowledge together<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Here is one of the most common GMAT study plans used by GMAT Club Members:<\/h2>\n<div>Use one of the general guidebooks i.e. <a title=\"Look up details\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1419549898?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=gmatclub-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=1419549898\" rel=\"nofollow\">Kaplan Premiere<\/a> Book (<a href=\"..\/..\/forum\/top-gmat-prep-books-guides-reviews-comments-77703.html\">see here for a full list of recommended books<\/a>) to learn basic concepts and strategies.

Several grammar books are recommended on the Forum (<a href=\"..\/..\/forum\/best-gmat-grammar-book-for-international-students-79934.html\">best-gmat-grammar-book-for-international-students-79934.html<\/a>) but the one that comes up most often is <a title=\"Look up details\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0195387295?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=gmatclub-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0195387295\" rel=\"nofollow\">Doing Grammar<\/a> by Max Morenberg.

I have written a large post on what I call <a title=\"Look up details\" href=\"..\/..\/forum\/books-to-read-improve-verbal-score-and-enjoy-a-good-read-76079.html\">GMAT Fiction<\/a> and its benefits - take a look. I felt that reading books was a big contributor to my SC and RC abilities. There are no downsides to this - really - the worst thing possible is that you would have read some great books. And yes - make sure you read them during your low productivity time (at night, during transit, etc).<\/li>\n<li>Verbal forum should be your hobby by now <img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Smile\" src=\"..\/..\/forum\/images\/smilies\/icon_smile.gif\" alt=\":)\" \/><\/li>\n<li>Take the verbal-only portion of the tests to evaluate your progress (compare to how you did in the diagnostic test).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Month 3<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>This month should be spent on 2 things: (1) Taking full length tests (polishing your test taking techniques, timing, stamina) and (2) Reviewing your <a title=\"Look up details\" href=\"..\/..\/forum\/gmat-error-log-86232.html\">error log<\/a> (going through your weaknesses, making sure you understand why you keep making mistakes and how to solve every problem you encountered).
