GMAT Score/Preparation [#permalink] New post   31 Jan 2021, 22:07
Guys, please help. I am planning to take my GMAT on March 19th, and I can only start my preparation by Feb 10. I will get whole 38 days for preparation as I resigned from my job. This is my 2nd attempt. The first attempt I could score only 610(Q48,V26). I need 700+ to get into the schools I want. Please guide me through. Is 38 days(8hrs/day) enough? And also is Mangoosh good for preparation?
Thanks :)

Hi Noah,

A 100 point improvement in 38 days is not impossible with the number of hours you can dedicate but a lot would depend on where you stand right now. Because if there is a considerable gap after your first attempt, then I'm afraid you have to revisit a few concepts again. So, it would be better to take a mock and see where you stand. Based on the score you can actually plan your studies.



I can suggest you in a better way if you can provide me a few more details such as the way you prepared till now, your weak areas and the approach you use to solve questions. Looking at your score, quant doesn't seem to be a major problem. Verbal seems to be the one on which you have to concentrate a lot. So, we can get in touch over a call and have a detailed discussion regarding the same. You can use the below link to get in touch with me.

Hi Noah73,

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) When did you take your 1st Official GMAT?
2) How long have you studied so far? Before your 1st attempt, how many hours did you typically study each week?
3) What study materials have you used so far?
4) 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)?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

If you took your 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,

You need to improve your Verbal score.
Egmat or gmatwhiz are great courses for Verbal.

Hello Noah,

A score of 610 is decent and a target score of 700+ seems realistic.

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.

A couple of things that can be a noticeable barrier to your scores would be some or all of the below.

• Inefficiency by using time-consuming Conventional method to tackle DS and PS questions still
• No expert support (maybe) who can tutor, analyze, and guide you during your learning especially on hard level questions while stably hitting middle-level questions.
• Lack of many updated questions and practice in the recent exam trend
• Not well aligned with time to solve questions.

We would recommend you make a note of various possible combinations of your target score. The possible scores will help you track your performance after taking the mock or practice test. It will also help you maintain balance in both the sections, and you will always be in a great position to allot the study hours to a specific area accordingly.

The possible score combinations for 700 or 700+: Q should be Q 46, 47, 48, and V should be V38, 39, 40.

You can try our free diagnostic test and receive a comprehensive study guide by topic. This test will clearly help you understand your weak areas.

You must schedule your day smartly to revise the topics and also practice more questions. We would suggest you register with MathRevolution https://www.mathrevolution.com/member/signup to get access to our 7-day full on-demand course (27 topics, 490 subtopics, and 1,500 questions) for free trial lessons.

700+ level questions https://www.mathrevolution.com/gmat/questionbank are separately available, too.

Since we are a math expert, we will recommend you go through our post on the GMAT club: Breakdown of GMAT math questions and types: https://gmatclub.com/forum/overview-of- ... l#p1641411

Regular tests will reflect the positive change in the score, and hence, your confidence will boost up. Gradually, with the help of mock tests, you will be able to compete with time and hence will be able to learn time-management.

We appreciate your time and patience in reading this reply.

Should you need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us at info@mathrevolution.com

Success is within your reach.
Good luck!

Hi Noah73,

Since you are asking about resources, in addition to seeking advice in this thread, take a look at the GMAT Club reviews for the best quant and verbal courses, and also read through some GMAT success stories to see what materials have worked well for other test-takers.

Also, would you like some general advice on how to improve your verbal and quant skills?

You also may find it helpful to read this article about
