TL;DR- scored good in a free mock test without prep and then scored worse after preparation. What do I do? Also, I especially have a problem with DI, so how do I overcome that??




Hi guys, I'm quite new to this forum and GMAT prep. Never thought I'd text in the group but I need srs help now

Due to circumstances and counseling, I have to give my GMAT with only a month's prep. To even decide if it's possible I gave a free mock on mba.com as a diagnostic test and got 525 without studying.

This gave me hope that it is possible to grow my score by like 200 marks in a month (it sounds a bit ridiculous NOW). It's been 20 days now, I have done EVERY question of OG GMAT guide book for Quants and relatively fewer questions of DI and VARC. Have also done more practise questions apart from that.

However, now when I gave a mock in my portal, I got 325. Then I gave another one after 2 days and got 425. I am crashing down now.... I am questioning how much prep is enough prep and how do I get my DI better which is the main killer in my mocks??

Thank you for sparing your time to read this.
Pls help if you can🙏

Focus on learning the basics first ,,, you can the many videos topic wise on gmat club channel what then try to understand the method then apply over the questions .... Easy to medium at first and if your accuracy is good, then go for the hard one. That’s how try to improve every tropic and di is mixture of quants and verbal so those two first and yes with each quants topics DS questions of that topic also ,, focus on those things it will improve automatically but it takes time ,, being patient is also important !!

Great that you are taking mocks and keeping the grind on!!

You really have to start from basics.

Stick to this and you need atleast 3 months to master GMAT, depending on your target score.
I am just being realistic here, there's no magic pill. It will take time.
