Hi guys,
I just started studying for GMAT. Did my first mock from Manhattan and got 580, Q39V31 with absolutely no practice (attaching the report file).
Really have to get the test done this year so I'm planning to take the test in mid november, so that I still got time to take it again if I fail. I am able to study for about 2h per weekday and maybe 8 hours total per weekend.
Is it possible to get 680 within that timeframe (to the first test in mid november)? How would you put up the strategy? I got the Manhattan Book series and access to 5 more mock exams from there.
Thanks in advance!

Hi olle,
With a mid-November Test Date, you have about 2 months of potential study time - and you could potentially improve a great deal during that time. Given the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores on this CAT, you will have to make some significant improvements to how you handle BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections - so you'll have to be 'efficient' with your studies going forward to hit 680 by mid-November. It's worth noting that many Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores, so it's possible that you'll need more time than you've allotted to hit your goal score. In addition, many Test Takers who use a 'book heavy' Study Plan end up getting 'stuck' at a particular score level, so it's likely that you'll need to invest in some additional non-book study materials.
1) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
2) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

Thank you for the response.
Im going to apply in mid january, thats why I wanted to get this done before the end of this year.
What schools I'm going to apply to depends on what result I'm getting, but since I'm Europe based I'm aiming for schools like:
RSM - Rotterdam
ST Gallen
LBS
SSE - Stockholm
Mannheim Business School
CBS - Copenhagen
Please note that I'm applying for MSc in management (or possibly finance), not an MBA, I also got pretty good grades and some good EC's.
Is it better to put in more time and effort in the quant part? I haven't done this kind of math in a while and I think I can improve it quiet a bit compared to the verbal part since I'm not a native speaker. What do you think?
Do you have some suggesitions for the non-book study materials you mentioned?
BR
