Hi Experts,
I am writing to you as I didn't know whom go reach out to, I feel super isolated in my GMAT prep journey.
I have opted for the GMAT online, on the 18th of June. However, I took my first official mock yesterday and got a 680 (Q49, V33). I know this is not a representation of my true potential, I also know it's my first mock and I can do better but at this point I am panicking since I am 2 weeks away and I am unsure I can improve my score. I also have a full time job.
I have been attempting GMAT club tests for quant and my best score is Q48. I haven't been taking any section wise tests in verbal and I think I lack in time management. My study source for verbal is the E-GMAT verbal course.
I also am worried about GMAT online, I haven't been hearing and reading good things about it especially the exam difficulty. Any thoughts around this?
This will be my first attempt and I don't want to bomb it. I also want to make an informed choice about rescheduling, if at all. At this point I'm wondering if the GMAT online was a bad decision.
My target schools are several from the M7 and I want a score of 740 plus
Any advice will be appreciated.

Hello Nikhitam,
A score of 680 in the official GMAT mock test is decent, and it tells the entire story about how well prepared you are for the GMAT official test and how to change the gear now to meet the target score of 740+ in reality.
With my GMAT tutoring, guidance, and counseling experience, we have to accept that with a pinch of salt, diagnostic/ mock test scores are above what one should expect in a real test. There is often dropping in the score. Some students have even experienced a drop of 100 pointers. It is one of the realities, and your preparation should not sideline this fact.
You can schedule a Comprehensive counseling session for 30 mins with one of our experts:https://calendly.com/mathrevolution/1-on-1-session for detailed advice on your current study plans and how to best utilize the remaining time you have.
We appreciate your time and patience in reading this reply.
Should you need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected].
Success is within your reach.
Good luck!

Hi nikhitam,
To start, a 680 is a fantastic initial CAT Score - and it implies that your overall content knowledge is strong. That having been said, it's just one result - and it's possible that you may have gotten a bit 'lucky' or 'unlucky' while taking it (meaning that your actual ability level is higher or lower than this one result). It's worth noting that each CAT/mock is really a 'measuring device' - when used correctly, it will give you a realistic score and help define your strengths and weaknesses, but it will NOT help you to fix any of those weaknesses. To raise your scores, you have to learn the necessary Tactics and put in the proper practice and repetitions. The CAT will show you whether your studies are helping you to improve or not. As such, you really shouldn't take more than 1 FULL CAT per week.
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:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
3) Going forward, how many hours do you think you can consistently study each week?
