Hello everyone,
Hello Gmat gods,
I started to study for the exam in the end of Sep and I did my first (Manhattan) Mock-test today.
Unfortunately, I only scored 520. Originally, my idea was to write my Gmat exam on the 2nd of Dez and apply in Jan for the M7 unis, but with my current level, I can pretty much forget any application. Do not get me wrong - I am motivated to master the test, but I doubt regarding the timeline!
I would love, if you guys can help me to bring some structure to my studies, brush me up with potential ideas or books.
I am open for any suggestion/ recommendation.
Regarding the typ of resources recommendation, I am good with courses & books, articles. Back then in school, I never had a private teacher; therefore, I am not sure whether those will help me now, but I am open for it as well in case, if you have someone specific in mind.
About me:
- non-native English speaker
Target: 720 - 740
Mock-up score:
- 520
- Quant 40
- Verbal 21 (SC < RC < IC)
Study material:
- Manhatten Foundation Series Math / Verbal
- Manhatten All the Verbal/ All the Quant
- OG first 100 quant, around 30 rc, ic, sc each
Except:
- Manhatten Atlas Online Questioners
If I reflect my studies, I actually was better in verbal than in quant. That is why, I am kind of shocked that I scored the other way around - beside the low score. In addition, I had to guess around 10 questions in my verbal part.
Please do not hesitate to ask further questions in order to assess my situation. I am happy provide you with further info, so we can bolster my studies.
I am looking forward to hear from you!

Hi Lulua,
Many GMATers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores, so if you have been studying for just a little over 1 month, then you should not expect to have mastered any of the content just yet. Thankfully, the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Exam, so you CAN train to score at a higher level.
Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
1) How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) On this 1st CAT/mock, did you have to rush to finish any of the sections (and guess on a bunch of questions)?
3) If you are not comfortable applying for the January deadlines, would you apply for a later Round this cycle or wait until Fall, 2022?

Hi Rich,
Thanks for your reply.
1) How many hours do you typically study each week?
Until know - each week:
During the week 3h per day, weekend 8h per day.
But from know on, I can increase the time until the 2nd of Dez to 6h per day during the week and 8h per day on the weekend.
2) On this 1st CAT/mock, did you have to rush to finish any of the sections (and guess on a bunch of questions)?
Quant: I had to rush the last 4 questions + guessed 2-3 questions because of lack of knowledge
Verbal: I had to rush the last 8 questions. Zero skipping because of lack of knowledge
3) If you are not comfortable applying for the January deadlines, would you apply for a later Round this cycle or wait until Fall, 2022?
I would try to apply in the late cycle. Unfortunately, I can not stretch the time for studying for too long. So, in any case, I would set mid Feb as a deadline.
