Hi KaveriSingh,

GMAT skills can certainly 'fade' over time - but we have to be careful about assuming that your 'time off' from studying was the only factor in why your recent CAT/mock results were lower. 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 in total? How many hours did you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

If you took your Official GMAT at a Test Center, then you might also choose to purchase the Enhanced Score Report. While the ESR doesn’t provide a lot of information, there are usually a few data points that we can use to define what went wrong on Test Day (and what you should work on to score higher). If you purchase the ESR, then I'll be happy to analyze it for you.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich

Hi KaveriSingh,

To start, why don't you take a practice test to see where you stand?

Hi,

I seek advice from this community regarding a refresher course -- I was studying very hard for my GMAT which was scheduled for 1st November. Due to a massive personal emergency I had to cancel the very last minute and was not able to study for a month. My target was around 720 and I was fairly confident at the time but now when I gave the test on 3rd December, without touching any prep material for a month I scored terribly on the test (Q45, V34 and Verbal was my strong suit-- I was scoring 41/42 during my mocks, but really couldn't revise anything before the test). I am looking for advice on how could I bounce back from this entire situation, since the old gmat format is going to conclude by the end of January and I'll have to prepare for an entirely different format, which I really don't wish to do. Additionally, I still think I remember most of the concepts and might benefit from a refresher wherein I could brush up my concepts and practice and re-attempt the exam. Do you have any recommendations for me? How I could about this journey? I am also open to purchasing a course for a month which would allow me to practice a lot and keep a log of my progress.

Looking forward to your responses!
Sincerely,
K
