Help - need a Strategy to go from 600 to 700 ? [#permalink] New post   27 Aug 2015, 03:56

Hi All,

I am in a crisis. I was planning to give my gmat in the second week of September and after giving 3 mocks, I have realised that I am screwing up somewhere and I don't know how to fix it.
The following are my scores on the mock tests:
Manhattan 1 600 q40,v34
Manhattan 2 590 q38,v32
Manhattan 3 580 q37,v30

I need a 680+ to get into a college of my liking, which means I need at least a Q 45 and a V 36 as my sectional scores. Can't push the exam date beyond 20th September as the deadlines for 2016 for B schools applications have to be met.

PLEASE HELP !!

Hi,

I can see that you have not posted your GMAT Prep CAT scores here.
If it means that you have not taken the GMAT Prep CATs, then I would recommend you to take one of those as they are the best indicators of one's preparation of the test.

To hit your target score of 700, you need to be thorough with the concepts and fundamentals.
How are you preparing for the Quants and the Verbal section?

Hi rK9699,

I'd like to know a bit more about your studies and overall timeline:

1) How long have you been studying?
2) What resources have you been using?
3) When you took these CATs, did you take the ENTIRE CAT (including the Essay and IR sections)?

4) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
5) What are the EXACT deadlines that you are facing?

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

Hey rK9699

Here is a customized 1 month study plan that can help boost your score: https://www.gmatpill.com/gmat-practice-t ... study-plan

Use this as a guideline. You don’t have to follow it exactly but the structure of the study plan should be the same structure that you take in your approach. Have it condensed to fit the two weeks of studying time you have left. This helps to optimize your retention and learning.

As you study, we recommend that you focus on one particular subsection for multiple consecutive days before moving onto the next. You can see this in our study plan where we recommend 5 days on nothing but SC -- before moving onto CR and then RC.

Here is a sample SC video to help you start your journey: https://www.gmatpill.com/sentencecorrect ... ythons.mp4

Best of luck- we are here to help.
