Hello everyone, I want to share my GMAT journey to everyone.
I started out my journey in July 2020 (corona year, yay); and originally aimed for 720. Now me being bad at math, and relatively rusty in English (high school seems like an eternity ago). I took the official prep test 1; and scored 530. I then realised that surprise the test was hard.
So I looked online and opted for magoosh to start training. After a month, I scored 580 on the prep test 2; now it then seemed to me that 720 was attainable.
Here's the thing guys, it's not as easy as that. In GMAT prep a few things are important:
- motivation
- discipline
- basics
- and mostly motivation
Fast forward 750 questions more and here comes September, my exam gets canceled, and finally after 1400 questions, I do my first attempt on October 24th. I scored 580, which was not enough. So I gritted my teeth and did it again on November 17th, scoring 630 (yay). (I managed to cram 300 questions in between the two, really don't recommend).
Now for those who still haven't done the test, good luck, study the basics, do as many different questions as you can, learn how to do question types, and try to have many lucky guesses!

Hi Cyrdarymacie,
Raising a 530 to a 630 is a solid achievement (as that 630 is well-above average for the GMAT). Are you happy with that result and/or do you want to continue studying (with the goal of scoring higher)? I ask because the GMAT is the same consistent, predictable Test that it's always been - and now that you know more about the question types and 'style' of those questions, you could potentially learn new ways to "see" (and respond to) the Exam. With a Q43/V34, you have a great opportunity to pick up points in BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections.
1) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
2) When are you planning to apply? If it's sometime soon, then what specific application deadlines are you facing?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich

Good Score Buddy!!! 630 is a nice score. I have seen many people never get to cross 600 mark even after lot of preparation. So what is you next goal? GMAT again or applying colleges? I would recommend again go for the GMAT because you have the capability to clear the this exam.
