660 on Real Day!

Hi,

First of all congrats on 660 even on your bad day!
An increment from 660 to 750 is quite high.
In your place, I would like to target a 750 in two attempts. Try and achieve a 700/710 in your next attempt and then target a 750.

All the best.

Hi vishwajeetarora,

First off, a 660/Q48 is a strong Score, so it could be enough to get you into your first-choice School. As such, a retest might not be necessary. Depending on the Schools that you plan to apply to, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile. There's a Forum full of those Experts here:

There's certainly no harm in retesting though - and you have the potential to pick up points in BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections. Before we discuss the data in your ESR, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) On what dates did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?

Goals:
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
5) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

Two quick pointers:-

1) You can improve your quant score just by managing time properly. You ran out of time towards the end of quant section.

2) Since you did well in CR there is no reason why you can't do well in RC. You need more practice in Verbal (especially RC)

All the best!
