Hi,
Thanks a Ton for your valuable and careful reply. In this forum, I want to utilize your experience and analyse my loopholes as well as my progress. To recapitulate, let me remind you that I started my studies on 12th March, 2015 with a time frame of 3 months. After reading your last post, I have reconsidered my set time frame of 3 months and given myself an additional 1 month of preparation. That is, I am taking 4 calendar months of time from start of serious studies and taking actual GMAT Test. I thank you for your suggestion.
In the meanwhile, I would like to share my mock test(Princeton Review Portal) scores with you:
DIAGNOSTIC TEST (Taken on 13-March-15): 450 [ Q-35, Verbal-15]
1. Test 1 (Taken on 29-March-15) : 390[Q 31, Verbal-13]
2. Test 2 (Taken on 05-April-15) : 400 [Q-36, Verbal-9]
3. Test 3 (Taken on 15-April-15) : 500 [Q-40, Verbal-20]
4. Test 4 (Taken on 18-April-15) : 570 [Q-43, Verbal-25]
My specific questions to you are:
1. How do you feel about my performance curve going?
2. Do you feel that I can boost up my Score to 700+ by another 3 months?
While answering, please keep the following points in mind:
1. Although I have a full time job, I study now a days regularly from 7 pm till 12 midnight (1 hour dinner break included) everyday X 7 days a week. I study, even when I am on business tour. On weekends I study approx 5 hours in the morning. In evening, I have Princeton Classes.
2. My Princeton Review Verbal Class has finished only SC. Few areas such as RC, CR still not started. All these, till now in test I am doing on my own without any guidance.
3. In SC, I am scoring about 14 out of 17.
4. In Quants class of Princeton Review, only Integers & Number System taught till now. Rest I am doing using my old knowledge.
5. My expected re-planned GMAT date is 11th July, 2015
Hope, I am clear enough to you with my Question. Eagerly waiting for your reply. Please be kind enough to help me with your valuable answer.
Regards,
DM
