My diagnostic score was 410 (Q 31, V16)
My aim is to score +650 to 700.
Then I studied Manhattan books (all books) and e-gmat course (Verbal) and currently doing Official Guide questions.
My OG accuracy is 70% in SC and RC.
CR is good +90%.
I take longer time to solve a question as I was trying to understand the concept - now I need to improve my pace and accuracy.
Also I am not very comfortable with advance quant topics like probability.
I would appreciate experts should provide the best advice. What is the best strategy for the next 2 months? I am planning to take GMAT exam at the beginning of Nov.

Hi optmistic2016,
Based on your prior posts, there was some issue about how and when you wanted to take practice CATs. When did you take this particular CAT (the 410)? Have you taken any other CATs since then (and if you have, then how did you score)?
Raising a 410 to a 650+ is going to take some serious work. You'll have to make some serious improvements to how you handle BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections. An early November Test Date would give you just 2 months of additional study though, but a 240+ point gain in that time is likely not realistic. This is all meant to say that you'll likely need to invest in some new practice materials AND you'll likely have to push back your planned Test Date.
1) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
2) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

Hi optmistic2016,
It looks like you need a study plan that you can stick to. 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.
Here is a sample SC video to help you start your journey: https://www.gmatpill.com/sentencecorrect ... ythons.mp4
Best of luck - we are here to help.
