Diagnostic test - 360 and devastated!!

Hello Ashok,

First of all, welcome to the GMAT club. Don't be disappointed too much. It is just a start and be happy with the fact of you scoring 360(Q26, V15). This score gives us a clear idea about how we should plan our study for both the sections to score 700 or above.

GMAT math is logic, and GMAT verbal is a real test of English as a language. So, we recommend you to look for reliable resources.

The GMAT is not that easy as we assume. Raising score from 360 to 700+ is realistic. But it requires consistency, self-belief, a detailed study plan, Unique, alternative approaches, and Up-To-Date questions.

Finding your target score as 700, remember various possible combinations to achieve a score of 700 or above: V37/Q50, V39/Q49, V43/Q45.

Looking at your last score of 360 (Q26, V15), we have the following recommendation:

Plan 1: Basic concept building- try 650 level questions- take the mock test-- learn alternative methods and shortcuts-- try 700+ level questions-- take mock tests.
