Hello community,
To start off, I am currently in my 3rd year bachelor and want to change business school here in the EU. I therefore want to study for the GMAT to open the most possible doors.
Before even starting to study the GMAT (well I did a little math review and a few math exercises but only very little) I did a practice test at MGMAT and scored a small 520 (Q37, V25).
I now have until about March to study and get a minimum of 650. I have already bought the OG plus the OG verbal and quant books. What else could I buy to obtain not only the needed
knowledge but also the tactics or even "secrets" to getting a good score?
Furthermore, I am currently studying thus I have a lot of time which is spent on university courses: how can I manage both ? University and Studying for the GMAT? (I thought of studying
the GMAT as just another course perhaps).
Thank you in advance for an answer.

Hi emgy1337,
A 520 is a solid 'baseline' CAT score (the average score on the Official GMAT hovers around 540-550 most years). You've also given yourself plenty of time to study, which is good. You'll probably have to treat this process differently from how you would normally study for a University Exam though.
Your 650 score goal is absolutely reasonable, given everything that you've described. While you'll find the OG books to be a great source for practice questions, you'll likely need to invest in some additional resources during your studies. We won't necessarily know which resources you'll need until you put in a bit of study time though. As such, I suggest that you study as you choose for the next 2 weeks or so, then take another FULL-LENGTH CAT (including the Essay and IR sections). That score result will give us a better sense of how well you're improving and what skills you still need to work on.
