Hi everyone,
I posted my first mock marks along my expectations a month back (score in first mock: 510 Q38 and V23.. I am aiming for 740+ And planning to appear in the month of April l, 27 April). After a month of preparation where I completed the official guides and the individual guides by GMAC of quant and verbal, I gave my mock today again. But I secured the same marks. I am really lost..
Can anyone be my guide.. is there anyone who is preparing for the exam and has undergone this. Please help me. This is taking away the last bit of confidence and courage left. I have really put up my 100%. Tried understanding official questions and the answers but I feel like a real failure. I need a guide. Who can help me with a roadmap. Guide me when I am going wrong.
Please do reply if you have went through this and know what can be of help, I am really thankful to you for all the suggestions.
Thankyou

Hi meghakayal16,
Welcome to GMATCLUB. 4 months is good enough to improve your score. It's a good thing you have taken your GMAT Mock. You now know your weaknesses and can work on them. If you are willing to study dedicatedly for that period, you are sure to achieve your goal. I think you need to solidify you base and adopt a proper technique to answer the questions. I believe you may benefit from taking a GMATPREP course. If you are willing, there are some great GMAT prep companies that can help you with your preparation.
In order to make an informed decision I would highly encourage you to go to their websites and try on their free trial and decide for yourself which one do you like better. You try out free access to EmpowerGMAT, Magoosh and TTP as they have great reviews on GMATCLUB.
If you are looking for a good course in verbal, I would highly encourage you to consider e-gmat verbal online or the e-gmat verbal live course. They are both amazing courses especially designed for non-natives. They offer almost 25% of their courses for free so you can try out their free trial to decide which one you want to go for. Plus the e-gmat Scholaranium which is included in both the courses is one of the best verbal practice tools in the market. You can easily track your progress in that you can identify your strengths and analyze and improve on your weak areas.
I must add that if you are particularly looking to discover and improve on your weak areas in Quant; a subscription to GMATCLUB tests is the best way to do that. They are indeed phenomenal and will not only pinpoint your weak areas but also help you improve on them.
Further taking multiple mocks might help. Apart from the GMATPREP, Manhattan GMAT tests and Veritas Prep Tests in my experience have good verbal and Quant section and will certainly help you point out and improve your weak areas.
Further another advantage of taking many mocks is to build up your stamina. Apart from the GMATPREP tests, taking practice tests of any major GMATPREP company ought to do that.
I would also encourage you to purchase official GMAT question from mba.com for some great additional practice.
Lastly, you can check out a very interesting article by Mike McGarry from Magoosh detailing a 3 month study plan
https://magoosh.com/gmat/2012/3-month-g ... -students/. You will find it very helpful as it gives out a study plan as per your needs.
Hope this helps. All the best.

Hi Rohan,
The time period I have is only 2 months.. would like to know if it is enough given the status now.
When everyone says about error log, what exactly is to be maintained in it and how that can be helpful
