Here are some tips on how to improve your GMAT score from 480 to above 700 in 1 month and 15 days:

Identify your weaknesses. The first step is to identify your weaknesses in the GMAT. This will help you focus your study efforts on the areas where you need the most improvement. You can do this by taking a practice test and reviewing your results. The GMAT Official Guide has two full-length practice tests, and there are also many other practice tests available online.
Create a study plan. Once you know your weaknesses, you need to create a study plan that will help you improve in those areas. Your study plan should be specific and realistic. It should also be flexible enough to accommodate any unexpected changes in your schedule.
Focus on your weak areas. As I mentioned earlier, it's important to focus your study efforts on your weak areas. This means spending more time on the sections of the GMAT that you're struggling with. There are many resources available to help you with this, such as practice questions, books, and online courses.
Take practice tests regularly. Taking practice tests regularly is a great way to assess your progress and identify any areas where you need more work. It's also a good way to get used to the format of the GMAT and the types of questions that are asked.
Get enough sleep and eat healthy foods. It's important to take care of yourself physically and mentally when you're studying for the GMAT. This means getting enough sleep and eating healthy foods. When you're well-rested and well-nourished, you'll be better able to focus and learn.
Here are some additional tips that may be helpful:

Join a study group. Studying with other people can be a great way to stay motivated and learn from each other.
Use online resources. There are many great online resources available to help you prepare for the GMAT. These resources can provide you with practice questions, study guides, and tips on how to improve your score.
Don't give up. The GMAT is a challenging test, but it's definitely possible to improve your score with hard work and dedication. Keep practicing and don't give up, and you'll eventually reach your goal. :)

Consider checking out The Share GMAT Experience subforum. Could help give a sense how likely/long different score jumps can be and you can also see what tips/resources people who've successfully improved their scores have mentioned.

Hi Arpit770770,

Your concerns are legitimate; raising a 480 to the point that you can consistently score 700+ is a big task - and you will almost certainly need to make significant improvements to how you handle both the Quant and Verbal sections. Thankfully, the GMAT is a consistnet, predictable Exam, so you CAN train to score at a higher level, but you will likely need more study time than you have currently planned for. Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

1) Is that 480 from a practice CAT/mock or from taking the Official GMAT?
2) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
3) What study materials have you used so far? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
4) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
