Hi Yesh369,

Many GMATers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores, so if you are going to limit your studies to just a little more than 6.5 weeks, then there will likely be a limit to how much you can improve. In addition, assuming that you took this recent CAT in a realistic fashion (and this 590 is an accurate assessment of your current skills), raising a 590 to the point that you can consistently score 710+ will likely require at least another 2-3 months of consistent, guided study - and you'll have to make significant improvements to how you handle BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections. Thankfully, the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Exam, so you CAN train to score at a higher level. That having been said, with just a little over 3 weeks of study time, that type of score improvement is probably too difficult to be considered realistic.

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) What study materials have you used so far?
2) Is this the only practice CAT that you have taken so far? On what 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)?
3) 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,
Rich

Hi I have my Gmat test scheduled for the 16 of Sept. I had started my prep my Prep 25 days ago. I am getting a score of 590 ( Q44, V27). My target score is 710+. I would really appreciate it if someone can help me prep strategies as I have just 22 days for test.

Posted from my mobile device


Hi Yesh,

To be honest, I think 22 days is too little to improve your score by 120 points. And it is really difficult to suggest you based on the generic information you provided. I think a better way to decide the further plan is by connecting over a call. I have helped many students improve their score by more than 100 points. I'm attaching the success story of one of our students who improved her score by more than 100 points in 40 days.


I can help you improve your score, but to do that, I would like to more about
  • how you prepared
  • the areas you are struggling

These details will me guide you in a better way.So, if you wish to connect over a call and discuss the study strategy, you can schedule a free consultation call using the below link.
