Hi All,
I took my 1st true practice test today (gmat prep). I scored a 640 Q46 V33. I have been studying for just under 2 months, mostly using Manhattan Prep books and the OG. Most of my studying has been in quant still need to work more on verbal. I finished quant with 8 minutes left and verbal with 15 minutes left, timing doesn't seem to be an issue, if anything i need to learn to slow down. My target score is 730, i plan on applying to schools in the top 10 and top 20. I come from a non-traditional background. I am a golf professional. I have 3 years work experience and have been promoted several times. In addition to being a golf pro I run the golf clubs retail operation, budgeting, accounting, ordering, bill paying, marketing, etc. This leaves me with 2 questions.
1. How realistic is my target score of 730? What should i focus on moving forward?
2. How will my work experience impact my chances of getting into a top 20 program?
Thank you.

Hi Asemonick,
With a score of 640, you can certainly achieve your target score with dedicated preparation of close to 2 months.
Before we take up your case, can you please answer the following questions:
1. Did you take the CATs including the AWA and IR?
2. When do you plan to take the GMAT?
3. Have you completed the Official guide questions?
Regarding your second question, it would be better if you ask the admission consultants here: ask-admission-consultants-124/?fl=menu

Thank you for your response.
I did take the AWA and the IR portion of the test. AWA - 5 and IR-6, was happy with these scores, didn't study these sections at all. I don't have a set date to take the test. I would ideally like to take it in the next 6-8 weeks, but want to make sure I'm fully prepared before taking the test. I have been through most of the OG guide quant questions but not much of the verbal. I planned on spending a few more weeks on quant, hoping to get a Q48+ then move onto the verbal section.
