Hi all,
I am completely new to GMAT preparation. I have 1.5 years of IT experience in a MNC and wish to take up GMAT within July.
I have already taken a diagnostic and scored a low score 510. My target score is >=680.
Please help me with a study guide for the preparation.
I don't have any plan to take up any online and offline coaching,as my office takes 12hours a day. So, please help me with a guide for self preparation. :) :)

Hi, welcome to GMATClub. 510 in diagnosis test is good score. First you complete the OG, once you are well versed with basic then do the other materails. all the best. :thumbup:

12 hours a day at office, is indeed going to be a challenge; working towards your GMAT preparation only over the weekends would not bring you the score jump that you're looking for.

There is a continuity and persistence that's needed for a comprehensive prep.
