HI Experts,
I wrote my GMAT yesterday and scored a disappointing 680. Although, i must confess, with a full time job, i had studied seriously for around one month and was just hoping that i cross the 700 barrier.
Studies:
1)1 month of serious 3 hr per day.
2) Half of OG 2020 questions and Experts Global crash course. Manhattan strategy guides for quants.
3) My Mock test results :
GMAT Prep 1 : May something 2019. 530 (After this shocker did not study at all)
Experts Global first test : Sep 12th - 630 ( Q47 and V30)
Experts Global second test : Sep 21st - 660 ( Q45 and V36)
Experts Global third test: Oct 5th - 680 ( Q48 and V36)
GMAT Prep 2 : Oct 12th - 720 (Q49 and V38)
Goals:
4) My goal is to cross 720 .. anything higher would be a cherry on the cake.
5) I am planning to apply this year and i know i am already late.
6) All Indian IIMs and dont know much about other schools.
During my exam, Quants was going very well,better than i expected, but i messed up dont know where. Verbal - I was pressed for time seriously and was thinking that i had tanked the paper badly.
As I am pressed for time, i will be applying with this score to colleges this year and in the meanwhile, the period when i am hoping that i get an interview call and the actual interview, i may appear for GMAT again.
Please advice the steps that i need to take to better my score the next time around.

Hi sachin1114GMCKS,
First off, a 680 is a strong Score, and depending on your Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores, it could be enough to get you into your first-choice School. As such, a retest might not be necessary. Many Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores; your improvement over the last 1+ month of your studies shows that you have the capacity to learn and improve, so you could potentially score notably higher if you continue to study. Since you know some of the Schools that you want to apply to, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile and plans. There's a Forum full of those Experts here:
https://gmatclub.com/forum/ask-admissio ... tants-124/
While the Enhanced Score Report doesn’t provide a lot of information, there are usually a few data points that we can use to define what went wrong on Test Day (and what you should work on to score higher). If you purchase the ESR, then I'll be happy to analyze it for you (you can feel free to PM it directly to me if you like).
