I am starting my gmat journey from today and have given first diagnostic test today. The experience was both fearful and yet an eye opener. I have given this test without any prep. I got a score of 445 in my test. Verbal - 74, data insights -66, quant -76. Now what to do about this and how should i proceed towards my journey further. Please give me some advice regarding this. I want to reach a score of 720-730 plus.

The gmatclub study plan post could be helpful to check out. It mentions a variety of resources in the Study Resources Table, for example. Fair to say including official questions/official mocks into a prep path would be a solid choice.

Don't get disheartened ! Do try low hanging fruits & try to give same mock again.

Regarding how to move forward with your prep, I recommend focusing on a strategy consisting of topical learning and practice. In other words, focus on just one topic at a time and practice that topic until you achieve mastery.

For instance, let's consider your study of Number Properties. First, immerse yourself in all aspects of this topic, and then, focus solely on Number Property questions. After each problem set, take the time to delve into your incorrect answers. This self-reflection is a powerful tool that allows you to understand your learning process and make significant improvements. For instance, if you made a mistake in a remainder question, ask yourself why. Was it a careless error? Did you not apply the remainder formula correctly? Was there a concept in the question that you didn't grasp?

By meticulously analyzing your mistakes, you will efficiently address your weaknesses and, consequently, enhance your GMAT quant skills. This process has been unequivocally proven to be effective. Number Properties is just one example; follow this process for all Quant, Verbal, and DI topics.
