330 first mock test

Question

Hi everyone,

I have a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration & Economics, and I did my first mock test and received a devastating 330 (Q22 V15 IR2). Now I have started my journey to a significant score on the GMAT (aiming for 670+). I have always had a struggle with standardized tests, but now it is time to change that. From my bachelor's I have an almost perfect GPA of 3.92/4.00, thus, it is very frustrating for me to receive such bad scores.

I have purchased Target Test Prep and my plan is that it is where I will devote most of my time. But I am looking for additional feedback and some potential guidance on how I can reach my goal. I will start to work soon, so I will not be able to study full-time, my plan is to study around 15-20 hours a week, and to take the actual test early-mid November.

I will be happy to share my journey with you guys and update my progress in this thread.

All the best,
Ellet

Getting TTP is a good start. Working through the TTP study plan diligently should put you in the 650+ range by November.

Just remember to keep focused, but don't burn yourself out. It's okay to take a day or two rest and refresh your brain.

Hello Ellet,

GMAT club is one of the great platforms to get information about the GMAT official test, Study plan, Section wise instructions, and many more. You are recommended to visit various posts and utilize this forum in the best efficient way.

Learning is a continuous process, and it shines with practice. Success in GMAT Math is entirely based on vital concepts, rigorous practice, complete knowledge of math question types and patterns, quick approaches, and time management.

Your current diagnostic score is shaky. You can schedule a Free counseling(https://calendly.com/mathrevolution/1-on-1-session) session for 20 mins with one of our experts to have detailed advice on your current study plans.

A score of 330 in the diagnostic test is far indeed from the target score of 670+. It is all about raising 300+ pointers. We would like to recommend specific vital points which will be helpful. The score tells that neither the Math nor the Verbal is above average. Hence, both sections have to be taken care of simultaneously. To improve, you will require consistent learning and practice. Also, keep your motivation high to learn.

Since we are a math expert, we will recommend you go through our post on the GMAT club, which gives a complete Breakdown of GMAT math questions and types: https://gmatclub.com/forum/overview-of- ... l#p1641411

Also, make a note of various possible combinations to achieve a score of 670+. The possible scores will help you track your performance after taking the mock or practice test. It will also help you maintain balance in both the sections, and you will always be in a great position to allot the study hours to a specific area accordingly.

After visiting the post, now is the time to start with the basics. To strengthen the basic concept on various topics like arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and word problems, you may refer to many free materials available in GMAT Club. Our website also helps strengthen the necessary "skills of math”.

Solve as many questions as you can relate to different topics, and it is recommended that you try to connect with many proven experts. You can visit the Math Revolution and get access to our 7-day on-demand course (27 topics, 490 subtopics, and 1,500 questions) for free trial lessons.

While concept learning, try solving 600 level questions by topic and be habitual of creating the error log. Prepare a list of all the doubts you face during solving and practicing questions. This practice will help you assess the topics in which you need more time to prepare. After solving as many questions as possible, take the 1st mock test and assess your performance. You may try our free diagnostic test once. Let some experts evaluate it to make you understand it better.

Continue the process with 650+ level by topic and then 700+ level questions by topic. The entire mock test should be completed in a disciplinary manner. Since this is a bit long journey, 1-on -1 tutoring can also be helpful to shorten the study period if your study budget is affordable.

Regular tests will reflect the positive change in the score, and hence, your confidence will boost up. Gradually, with the help of mock tests, you will be able to compete with time and hence will be able to learn time management.

Hi Ellet,

Glad to see you are using TTP!! Honestly, all you need to do is follow the study plan, and complete the course in full. If you do that there is no reason why you can't knock the GMAT out of the park.

Target test prep is a great course for Quant.
You can try Gmatwhiz or Egmat for Verbal.
