Hello!

i scored a 560 with Q44 and V23 in GMAT PREP DIAGNOSTIC TEST - 1 (including AWA and IR in practice).

I have 5 months to the actual GMAT (taking it on March 18,2016).

I have magoosh premium, manhattan guides, OG12, OG16 all guides,Powerscore CR Bible...

I can dedicate 12 hrs per week.

Is it a bad score to start?

I am aiming for a 720+ score.

Kindly help !

Thanks In Advance!

Hi Balajikarthick1990,

A 560 without any preparation is a good score to start with.
The first thing you should do is to follow a study plan. This will make sure that you have a goal and you do not deviate from it.
You can find them here:
gmat-study-plan-how-to-start-your-gmat-prep-80727.html?fl=menu

The next advice would be to not take CATs till the time you have covered the fundamentals.
Post which, I would advice you to get the Exam Pack1 and the Question Pack1 from mba.com

All the best!
