Hi,
I am beginning my GMAT preps now, and needed some assistance in figuring out the path ahead. Planning to appear by July end. However, I need to score above 695+ . I am aiming for colleges like ISB, Great Lakes Chennai and a few colleges abroad.
Any tips on how I could prepare by myself / any recommendations on any coaching that I could sign up ?
Thanks in advance!

Here are some key tips.
1. Take an official GMAT practice test early in your preparation. By taking a practice test you’ll get a sense of what you’re preparing for and a sense of how much you’ll have to accomplish to achieve your target score. There are two free official practice tests in the GMAT Starter Kit available on mba.com.
Before taking your first practice test, prepare some, for perhaps at least 10 to 15 hours, to familiarize yourself with the GMAT format and question types. That way, you’ll get a more accurate sense of your current level when you take that first test because your score won’t be affected to the downside by your simply not knowing how the test works. One possible source of practice questions for this initial preparation is GMAT Club.
For more on taking a GMAT baseline test, see this post.
2. After you've taken a practice test, you'll be in a position to choose resources to use during your preparation. If your practice test score is rather close to your target score, you may need to use only some practice questions to increase your score.
If your practice test score is relatively far from your target score, you'll likely need a resource that teaches fundamentals, such as concepts and strategies, in addition to practice questions.
3. Regardless of what resources you use, the best way to master the GMAT is to master it one topic at a time in the following way:
4. One of the best ways to develop the skills necessary for getting GMAT questions correct consistently is to use the streaks method to practice, discussed here.

- First, review or learn the concepts and strategies a topic involves.
- Then, do practice questions involving that topic UNTIMED until you're achieving high accuracy. This step is super important. Don’t skip it.
- Finally, work on reducing the time per question until you're correctly answering questions involving that topic at test pace.
