Hi raomohsin54,

Raising a 320 to a 'competitive' score level will take some serious work - 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. While you will NOT have to quit your job to study for the GMAT, you will have to commit to a consistent study routine and put in the necessary time and effort to learn the content and practice the necessary Tactics.

Defining your overall goals (including the type of MBA you're interested and the Schools that you might want to attend) is important because you need to know when you have a high-enough GMAT score to stop studying. Many Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores, so it's likely that you'll need that much time as well.

You might not have answers to any of these questions yet - but even if you're just 'estimating' the answers, then that would help to better define your timeline.

1) What is your goal score?
2) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
3) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

Hi Rich,

I am very glad that you replied and helped me.
I got your point that i have to estimate a score, What schools to apply and when to apply. But i want to ask you one thing that Is it necessary to take gmat at the time of applying to any particular school? I mean that can i take gmat and then decide which schools to apply by looking at the score i secured?

Hi raomohsin54,

Your Official GMAT score is valid for 5 years, so you can absolutely take the GMAT first and then later use it as a way to define which Schools that you will try to apply to. Since the process of applying to (and attending) Business School requires a significant investment of time, energy and resources, many applicants try to devise a plan/timeline that focuses on getting into the School that best matches what the applicants are looking for (as opposed to choosing Schools in which they have a 'good chance' of getting in). By defining the School(s) that match your goals, you can then define other parts of the 'plan' - including the type of GMAT Score that you would likely need to be considered a competitive applicant at those Programs.

Hi raomohsin54,
​ ​
Thank you for your interest and query.​
No worries!
You can surely hit at least ​​49 or above just like 90% of our students as long as you follow our study guide properly. Particularly, our course is designed for non-engineers who didn't study math for a long time or are not good at math.

Since we are specialised in quant only, we can give you advice on quant.
It appears that you got 320 as you didn't study properly before the test. Once you fully prepare yourself, you can surely enough to hit 700. In order to hit 700, Q49 and V35 is the best combination. If your verbal score is more than 35, you can hit less than 49 in quant.

Just in case your basic math skills are weak, we strongly recommend building solid basic math skills, which you can learn from our online course. As All-In-One 51 includes "Math Review" which introduces basic maths, you can easily understand our approaches once you complete Math Review. In fact, having solid basic math skills is very crucial. In order to hit a high score, it is mandatory to get all the first basic questions correct on GMAT to move on to more advanced questions.

Moreover, having good math skills is not good enough to tackle GMAT questions. In fact, GMAT is a logic test, not general math test. Hence, you need to learn the logic to hit a high score in GMAT which you can learn from our course and the conventional method to solve GMAT questions is not going to help you improve your score. With us, we are certain that you can surely benefit from our course.

GMAT Math is logic math test, rather than math skill test. That's why students majoring in engineering or math have hard time in improving math scores. You should learn 'logic' to solve GMAT math.

From our course, you will learn our unique approaches and solving questions using the approaches: Variable approach of DS and IVY approach of PS. With our unique approaches, you can solve any questions that normally take 4 minutes in 1 minute and 30 seconds, and 2-minute question in 30 seconds. Moreover, you can solve 100% of DS questions with Variable approach and 30-40% of PS questions with IVY approach, which can boost your score.

If you would like to try our approaches, Please try Trial Pack (4 hour lesson) that reveal our secret approaches of DS+PS core theory that you have never seen. You can test whether you like them or not before you enroll.

Also, apart from the online course, you can separately purchase 700+ level questions if you aim at hitting Q49-51. https://www.mathrevolution.com/gmat/700level

No, you don't need to quit your job to prepare for the GMAT. 3-4 months is what a lot of people take, and my recommendation was not made on the basis of your GMATPrep score.

To take it from 320 to a more competitive score is quite some effort. You have to work on both sections. Since you have just completed your BBA you have time in hand. I'd suggest you opt for some form of formal training, be it online or classroom. You can check the reviews and talk to friends to decide which one to opt for. Cheers and good luck.

Well which type of course or training i have to take can you please suggest me any and how much time will it take to study daily in terms of hours?

Thanks sir for your kind reply but i want to inquire that how i have to manage the study time with job and which books to study and which part to start first either quant or verbal?

If the initial score is 320, then is a lot to improve and all the basics would need to refreshed or learnt. This includes both verbal and quant. Try prepping with books(MGMAT or Veritas) or use an On-demand course which can help you improve these skills.

You're in the best position to find a way to balance your personal and professional goals. Apart from material that focuses on theory, you should get as much official material as possible (for example, the OG 2017 and the verbal and quantitative review books). It'd probably be a good idea to work on both quant and verbal.
