Hi everybody,
I hope this message finds you well. My name is Andrés, I'm 25 years old, and I was born and raised in Bogotá, Colombia, in South America. Ever since I was in university, I have always dreamed of studying for a master's degree abroad at a well-known institution.
I didn't know much about the process until a few months ago when I started doing my research and gathering all the necessary information. I took my IELTS exam two weeks ago and successfully achieved a band score of 8. Now, I have almost 4 months to prepare for my GMAT Focus exam, which is the last certification I need to apply in the second round of applications.
I was wondering.. if someone could help me with this process, specifically with advice on how I can prepare for the exam as a non-native English speaker. I haven't studied since I graduated with my bachelor's degree three years ago, and my math skills are limited or nearly nonexistent. Most of the recommendations I find are from students who have received high scores, and their tips seem geared toward advanced students.
I understand the structure of the exam, but I don't know where to start with the basics of each topic that will appear on the test. I need at least a 595 for my target schools, though of course, getting a 695+ would be ideal and a dream. However, I'm not sure if someone at a beginner level like myself can achieve that.
Can anyone share what they would do in my position and if it's possible to score at least 595 on the first try with only 3.5 months of preparation as a international beginner?
Thank you so much!

Hi Andrés,
It's great to hear about your aspirations to pursue an MBA degree abroad. Achieving a band score of 8 on the IELTS is an impressive start!
For your GMAT Focus preparation, here are some tailored tips for a non-native English speaker and someone who feels they are starting from the basics:
1. Structured Study Plan: Create a study schedule that breaks down your preparation into manageable sections. Allocate specific times for each topic, ensuring you cover both verbal and quantitative sections.
2. Foundational Resources: Start with resources designed for beginners. Books like the "GMAT Official Guide" and online platforms like Khan Academy can help you build a solid foundation in math concepts.
3. Practice Regularly: Consistency is key. Dedicate time each day to practice questions, focusing on understanding the underlying concepts rather than just memorizing formulas.
4. Focus on Weak Areas: Identify your weakest topics in math and verbal, and spend extra time strengthening those areas. Use practice questions to gauge your progress.
5. Join Study Groups: Consider joining a study group or finding a study partner. This can provide motivation and allow you to discuss challenging concepts with others.
6. Take Practice Tests: As you progress, take full-length practice tests to familiarize yourself with the exam format and timing. This will also help you build stamina for the test day.
7. Stay Positive: Remember that many test-takers start from a similar place. With dedication and the right resources, scoring at least a 595 is definitely achievable!
Believe in yourself, and don't hesitate to reach out for support along the way. You've got this!
Best of luck with your preparation!
