Hi Everyone,
So after a preparation of 4.5 long months (250+hours), i took a GMAT (CAT) test that was available on MBA.com. And i got a disappointing score of only 490. Q35, V22
Analysis:
QUANT:
I got 16 incorrect out of 31 in quant section.
Wrong Quest: 1,3,6,12,13,14,16,17,18,20,25,28,29,30,31
Verbal:
I got 16 incorrect
Wrong Quest:1,3,4,8,11,17,18,19,21,25,27,29,31,32,33
IR: Didnt touch the IR part, just clicked on next next, and i got only 1 score. (Because i was told that IR wont affect other sections)
My experiences:
-I am good in Verbal even though i failed to demonstrate that during the test.
-I understand my Maths is quite weak and i get confused with some easy questions that are asked in a word problem.
-I admit that i am not very strong in quant but i do am familiar with many concepts that are being tested in GMAT. And i have finished OG and have also taken classes offered by Jamboree.
-I have booked my GMAT on 11th March and i my target score is above 600. Currently i am reading 3-4 RC passages everyday and practicing that. As for quants I am doing questions of OG on daily basis and on top of that revising some questions that i did in my class.
Any advises that someone can give me here pls?
I know that i got plenty of questions wrong in my test, but still i was expecting the score to be above 500, so I am not really sure why my score is extremely low ?
CURRENT STRATEGY:
Quant: Completing each and every question of OG and knowing it by heart. Revising everday.
Verbal: Reading comprehension 3-4 passages on daily basis. Revision of SC and from time to time practicing CR.
Can anyone help me with some advise ?
As i just have one month left for preparation and i am 100 points away from my desired score. Although i am good in Verbal but still failed to achieve that.
Appreciate your answers.

Hi hsn81960,
To start, raising a 490 to the point that you could consistently score 600+ will likely require at least another 2 months of consistent, guided study - and you'll have to make significant improvements to how you handle BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections. Thankfully, the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Exam, so you CAN train to score at a higher level. However, with a March 11th Test Date, you have less than 4 weeks of study time remaining. As such, you might need to consider pushing back your Test Date.
Before we discuss this CAT in more detail, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) What study materials have you used so far?
2) Have you taken any other CATs/mocks? How have you scored on EACH of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Goals:
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
4) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

I'd take at least one more official practice test if I were you. Can you do that within a week or so? It may be that this score is "off", and it would be a good idea to confirm whether that is indeed the case.
