GMAT 740 TO 770!!!

Congratulations on the absolutely epic score!

I realize that USD-INR exchange rates are absolutely ridiculous right now, but if you're interested in a full-priced, US-based consultant, feel free to PM me, and I'll send over some names. (I'm usually absolutely terrible with PMs, but I'll keep an eye out over the next day or two.)

If you're looking for a lower-priced option, you might want to consider Applicant Lab. Great product, created by some great people -- just a question of whether it's the right fit for you personally.

I hope that helps a bit, and congratulations again!

[quote="Aayuva"]I attempted Gmat on 14th july and got 740 q49 v41 , l then i went on to practice mostly official qs and retook today. I have got 770 q49 v46 this time.

wow! That's a huge Verbal difference! V41 to V46!

I have to say I rarely see V46. So you took a 2-week break and that resulted into 6 points?
Do you think you likely underperformed on Jul 14th then or do you feel you really improved?

bb last time i was doing too many mock tests and not enough official ones. Also i reached the exam center late in my earlier attempt. This time i did mostly official qs. I analysed my ESR and realized that my time management was not good last time so I worked on that this time- first 9 qs - 20 min then 9 qs 15 min.. And i thought i would get a v42/44 but when i saw the score on the screen I was very happy

Great score man.

Plz share your AWA Experience/score and resource you followed.

Aayuva
Congrats!! very impressive score.
Would you mind sharing how you actually improved your time management skills? The way you practiced etc?

Hi Aayuva,
Congratulations on your terrific score,

I have few questions for you;

1) What was your English level before you started GMAT, were you acquainted with grammar?

2) To tackle the RC passages, were you able to understand complex passages with unfamiliar sentence structure and complex vocabulary?

3) Did you do any additional reading per day to beef up your reading (e.g. reading an English book or an article with a similar language to that of GMAT)?

4) How many mocks did you take? What were the mock companies (e.g Veritas, MGMAT etc..)?

5) How many hours did you study per day or week?

6) How did you find real GMAT exam questions compared to your mocks? Which company apart from OG gives you the best examples?

7) Also would you please share your journey/strategy when studying for gmat to come to 740?

Thank you

Smarty0411 used gmat official awa material . will share more once i get the awa score.
Sivatorne i analysed my last esr and observed i was giving more than 2 minutes to cr so i improved it by daily practice. Also I divided my time for questions - 15 minutes per 8 qs ...

gloomybison 1 English level was good but not great i didn't know a lot of stuff like parallelism etc
2 rc passages seemed very tough but i used a lot of lsat rc passages for prep
3 no additional reading
4 6 og mocks
5 almost 3-4 hours per day
6 i found some quant qs - function related questions which i hadn't studies anywhere , u can use gmat club solutions too because many people provide different solutions to a question, you can usually understand one of them
7 daily study - og qs - official mba.com study material - trust the process ...
I think for gmat - less is more , you dont need a lot of material you need a lot of focus

Congrats on the fantastic score! I would also second the recommendation for fortuna.
