Question

hello everybody
I'm not a native speaker and I wanna prepare my self to take both GMAT and TOEFL exam next year. do you think its possible to get 700+ in GMAT and 100+ in TOEFL in one year?
how much time do I need to put in?

Hi shadro,

Those two Score Goals are difficult (individually) for most Test Takers to achieve - so achieving both in just one year's time will likely increase the challenge. That having been said, no one here knows what YOU are truly capable of, so you do your best to plan out your studies and go from there. Many of the skills that you will develop while you study for the TOEFL will help you to perform better on the GMAT, so I would recommend that you start with the TOEFL first.

1) Do you have a general idea of when you might try to take those 2 Exams?
2) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
3) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

Thanks for your answer
I'm in the second year of getting my Undergraduate degree in accounting, my GPA is very good and I have some work experience.
My first priority is getting a scholarship. do you think Even if I get a good score in GMAT and TOEFL can I get a scolorship.? If not I don’t have any reason to study for GMAT and TOEFL

Hi shadro,

The questions that you might have about Scholarships will depend a great deal on the specific Programs that you plan to apply to, the type(s) of Scholarships that you're after and your OVERALL application profile. Since those are all ultimately Admissions questions, 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:

sorry for bothering you again
I need to get both my GMAT and TOEFL in 14 months and I'm planning to study both simultaneously.
 do you think its possible?

Hi shadro,

No one here knows you well enough to define how you might handle studying for 2 Exams at the same time. From working with a few Clients who have tried to do that, the historical evidence points out that better outcomes tend to occur if you focus on one Test at a time (and again, some of the things you will learn while studying for the TOEFL will help you to more easily study for the GMAT).

Hi Shadro,

So you may find it difficult to study for both the GMAT and TOEFL simulaniously, so you should first get the TOEFL out of the way and then focus on your GMAT.

That being said, when you decide to start sutudying for the GMAT, you may find my article helpful about  how to score a 700+ on the GMAT .

Feel free to reach out with any further questions.

Good luck!

I decided to take my TOEFL first, but some people said if you study GMAT first( because it's much harder) the TOEFL would be much easier?
if I score 100+ in toelf how much time do I need to get 700+ in GMAT?

EMPOWERgmatRichC · Answer

Hi shadro,

Unfortunately, no one here knows how long it would take you to potentially score 700+. In addition, from a statistical-standpoint, only about 10% of Test Takers ever score at that level, so trying to deduce an exact timeframe for that type of outcome is problematic. At this point, the immediate advice that I can offer is for you to choose one of the Exams and get to work preparing for it.

Nice nice. I think this fellow is asking these questions on behalf of me. I needed the same information.

Hello Shadro,

As someone who intends to take both the GMAT and the TOEFL exam, I am personally of the opinion that, tackling the GMAT first will be relatively better, since it requires a lot of time and efforts committed. Haven aced the GMAT, I believe you'll be more relieved and ready for the TOEFL.

Anyway, I have the TOEFL Mobile App and I practice with it during my spare time.
