Hi jain95vasu,

Raising a 550 to a 700+ will likely take at least another 3 months of consistent, guided study - and you'll have to make significant improvements to how you handle BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections. If you travel a great deal, then a 'fixed', live GMAT Class might not be the best option for you - and you might want to consider online options and/or Guided Self-Study Courses that would let you keep your study schedule flexible.

1) Do you want to start your studies back up immediately or at a later date?

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.

I took a 10-15 days gap after my GMAT, so I'm ready to start immediately since concepts are still fresh and if I delay it any further it might take me extra time.

But I need a proper study plan to follow as i do not want to make the same mistake again. Also, my verbal (both SC and CR) is very weak so i want to start with it first.
As you correctly mentioned that 'fixed', live GMAT Class might not be the best option for me, so how should i proceed keeping in mind the above points.

Waiting for your response.
Thanks

Hi jain95vasu,

When it comes to studying for the GMAT, there are a variety of different options. From what you describe, an online Program that would allow you the flexibility to study at your own pace (and when your schedule allows it) would likely make the most sense. Most GMAT Companies offer some type of free materials (practice problems, Trial Accounts, videos, etc.) that you can use to 'test out' a product before you buy it. We have a variety of those resources at our website (www.empowergmat.com). I suggest that you take advantage of all of them then choose the one that best matches your personality, timeline and budget.

If you have any additional questions, then you can feel free to contact me directly.
