Hi Dalal,

Your story is truly inspiring! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I need your advice on the GMAT. I have been preparing for GMAT for a year now and I am taking the egmat course. I recently took a mock and got a score of just 430. I need to take the exam next month if I have to catch the fall session of 2024. Can you please tell me how I can reach a score of 700 from here on?

Best,
Probir

Hi Prob2303.

Although Dalal was able to go from 250 to 780, she didn't increase her score 270 points in one month, as you are hoping to. It took her much longer than a month to increase her score from the 400s to the 700s.

The truth is that, regardless of how effectively you prepare, it will likely take you several months or more to go from your current level to 700+, unless your scoring 430 on that practice test was a fluke to the downside.

Was that an official practice test? Also, have you taken any other practice tests since you took that one?

For some tips on how to achieve your target score, you could read this post.

Hi Marty,

I haven't given the official practice test. The mock that I took was from the egmat course e-sigma mock.

I will be starting the official mock from tomorrow to know where I stand vis-a-vis my GMAT preparation.

Probir

Prob2303 - Thank you for being a student. Make sure that you create your PSP. It will not only give you a solid timeline to follow but also tell you the sequence of study.

Hi - I have already given the official mock test. Can I not create a planner using that score as a baseline. Everytime I click on the link I am prompted to give the sigma mock test.

Hey daldilaimi MartyMurray

Very inspiring! I was thinking of starting my prep in October, with the goal of applying R1 2026. I see you used TTP primarily with Manhattan for further explanations. What do you think of the opposite, as in, if I took the Manhattan Live Course (because from what I have heard, their explanations for verbal are better) + TTP primarily for quant (and the benefits of their structured approach / error log and data analytics).

You would take the Manhattan live course just for Verbal?

Sorry, I should have clarified. Not just for verbal, but I've heard that Manhattan is better "overall".

I had two options in mind, and am still contemplating both. Either
1) TTP Live On Demand + Manhattan to refer to OR
2) Manhattan Live + TTP self-study for quant.

Do you mind if I DM you to give you more context on my situation?.

Cheers.
