Hi samarth1222,

Back in early February, you posted that you were planning to take the GMAT by the end of that month and that your Score Goal was 640-670. Did you end up taking the Official GMAT at that time (and if you did, then how did you score - including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores?)?

Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

1) Over the last 4 months, 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?

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