Hii abhi,

There is no specific number of attempts required. You can get the score in your 1st attempt too. The main part of it is when do you want to acheive it and how serious are you in acheiving the score.

Hope this helps.

No I mean there are 36 questions in both verbal and quants. So in general people with the score of 700 attempt how many questions in verbal and quants?

Hi AbhiAswal.

I think most people who score 700+ choose answers to all the questions or all but one or two of the questions in each section, partly because, even if you don't have time to actually attempt all the questions, it still makes sense to choose an answer to every question so that you don't get penalized for not completing a section.

However, you can miss a fair number of questions and score 700+.

I think the following post provides the information you're looking for.

How Many Questions Can You Miss on the GMAT and Score 700?

EMPOWERgmatRichC · Answer

Hi AbhiAswal,

To start, there are currently 31 questions in the Quant section and 36 questions in the Verbal section - and since the GMAT is an adaptive Exam and the Scoring Algorithm takes into account more than just the number of correct answers - you cannot reasonably expect to know for sure whether you've hit a 700+ or not based solely on the number of correct answers. As an aside, you would also probably have trouble keeping track of that statistic while you are taking an Exam. Since the 700+ Score is approximately the 90th percentile, clearly most Test-takers never score that high on the Official GMAT. To put yourself in the position to consistently score at that level, you will have to hone a number of different Quant and Verbal skills - and properly train for the overall Test-Day 'event.'

Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) 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)?

Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

A good sign you will hit your target score is two consecutive Official Mocks that do the same. Consider checking out the gmatclub scoring grid to see which section "combos" can get you to 700+. Some Quant and Verbal tips on the gmatknight website you may find helpful as well.

It depends on how you are performing. According to that you get a score. If you are able to solve easy, medium, and medium to hard level on both sections comfortably then a score of 700 is within the reach

Hi AbhiAswal,

It depends on how ready you are actually to take your GMAT. In other words, if you are hitting your score goal on your official practice exams before your GMAT, then I'd say you have a good shot at achieving your score goal and thus taking the GMAT just once.

On the other hand, if you rush the process, and your practice exam scores show that you are far off your score goal, but you take the GMAT anyway, then you likely will have to give it multiple attempts before hitting your target score.
