GMAT Study plan for 30 days (560-700)

Question

Hi! I took my gmat online yesterday and got 560 after months of prep. Ive been getting ~650 during my official practices so this score surprised me. I knew I could have done better. There were internal (was really nervous and I just wanted to get it done so soon, not taking all the breaks, etc) and external factors (the platform suddenly ‘not responding’ for few seconds, not selecting my answer for abt 5secs and the stormy weather) which added so much anxiety to yesterday’s experience. I knew I can do better.

Any help on how to get at least 650-700 in the next 30days? My score yesterday was bad Q37(I usually get >= 44 in practice) V30(usually >=47) IR6 AWA6

An effective and comprehensive study plan will Help like how many hours a day and do I do quant and verbal everyday or focus on quants etc first few wks then verbal

(Pls note I’m working & it’s an added challenge since I usually work 9-10hrs a day 😳)

Hi Aryaneski,

It sounds as though you are in a pretty good spot. Can you provide some more information on what you were previously doing to study? Also, if you believe that nerves were an issue during your exam, here is a helpful article to check out:

How to Eliminate GMAT Test-Day Anxiety

EMPOWERgmatRichC · Answer

Hi Aryaneski,

I'm sorry to hear that Test Day did not turn out better. When these types of score drops occur, the two likely "causes" involve either something that was unrealistic during practice or something that was surprising (or not accounted for) on Test Day. In addition, this Official Score is similar to the practice results that you reported in late April and early May though - meaning that you may have developed some 'bad habits' during your early studies that are keeping you from consistently scoring higher. 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:

Studies:
1) What were your Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for this Official Score?
2) How long have you studied in total? Over the last 2 months, how many hours did you typically study each week?
3) What study materials have you used over the course of ALL of your studies? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
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)?

Goals:
5) What is your overall goal score?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

This is something that literally happened to me just about two days back. I have always scored more than a 670 in the practice tests however on the test day I ended up with a 600.

If you guys do plan to make a study group, I'll be more than happy to be a part of it.

Thank you so much.
