Hi,
Thanks for looking into my case.
I have taken GMAT last week and scored 460 (Verbal: 13 and Quant: 42).
My verbal is very weak however my maths is on due to my engineering background.
Could you please suggest me what should i do?, what notes should i follow?, should i take GRE now? and when should i write exam again as i am looking for January?

Hey Andy,

I don't know how you prepared for it last time but a complete prep package could do you a world of good. Your Quant basics seem to be fine but you must be struggling with the advanced applications. The Verbal, of course, could see a lot of improvement. Do not worry about taking the date yet if you would like to apply in Round 3.
You could consider taking a course if you study best with a teacher. If self study is your thing, something like our "On Demand" course, which has video lectures, could aid you in improving your score. Also, you should develop the habit of reading - newspapers, magazines and good quality fiction. That will help you develop an intuition for GMAT verbal questions.

Here I will leave you with some links to our free resources - our DS book, our SC lecture video and a free practice test. These will help you get started.

Hi Andysingh,

Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, 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?
2) What materials have you used?
3) How have you scored on each of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?

Goals:
4) What is your goal score?
5) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
7) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich
