Hello everyone,
I took my first GMAT attempt today and scored 770 - V46, Q49 and IR8.
I'm an Indian 20/M currently pursuing computer science bachelor's and targeting finance/quantitative finance masters.
Sharing my 14 week preparation journey and resources below as a thank you to this amazing community.

Test Day Experience:
PS: I am selling my Manhattan Prep books and 2022 OG, both in mint condition. Can ship to anywhere in India. Feel free to DM if you are interested.
That's pretty much it folks! Do reply if you have any questions or need any advice.
I'll also be giving the GRE soon. 😆 Hopefully I'll be able to get a similar score there as well.

Materials Used:
- •Quant - Manhattan Prep
- •SC - Manhattan Prep (theory), Wiley Aristotle (problem set only)
- •CR - PowerScore (theory), Wiley Aristotle (problem set only)
- •RC - Wiley Aristotle (problem set only), Brandon Royal (theory)
- •AWA - Chineseburned AWA Guide, Manhattan Prep
- •GMAC Official Tests 1-6
- •GMATClub Practice Tests
- •GMAT Official Advanced Questions (I was already getting my target score in CATs and didn’t want to risk burnout, so I skipped the OG and did this instead.)
Strategy:
- •Started preparing in August. Put in around 15-20 hours per week.
- •For verbal - I gave Aristotle Diagnostic Test, studied theory from the above-mentioned books and made notes, solved Aristotle Problem Set and maintained error log.
- •For quant - I studied theory from Manhattan Prep, made notes and did end-of-chapter problems.
- •Gave my first practice test three weeks into my prep, just after finishing SC. Scored 750, much higher than expected. Revised target score from 720 to 760. 😂
- •I finished the syllabus one month before test date and spent the remaining time doing the Official Advanced Questions book and giving a GMATClub sectional test every 2-3 days.
- •Studied AWA for barely 2 hours. Memorized Chineseburned's excellent AWA template after tweaking slightly and wrote just one passage for practice. Also read about theory and strategy from Manhattan.
My 2 Cents:
- •Maintaining an error log and re-attempting it periodically is crucial. Knowing where you went wrong and strengthening those areas is the only way to improve your score.
- •Attempt a practice test every week or two and keep track of score, accuracy and time.
- •I have attached snapshots of my error log and test log template below showing what metrics I tracked and how.

- •When you are not able to solve a question in the allotted time, just guess the answer and move on. You can still hit a high score with few mistakes or guesses. However, there is a heavy penalty for leaving questions unanswered.
- •Get your basics right. Getting an easy question wrong carries a much heavier penalty than getting a hard question wrong.
- •If you are short on time, guess on alternate questions, not consecutive ones.
- •If a question seems super-obvious, carefully double check. It might be a trap.
- •Take about 15 minutes for every 9 verbal questions. Not more, and especially not less (or you'll make a ton of silly mistakes).
- •You won't get more than 4 minutes for your break, rest of the time goes in checkin and checkout. Plan accordingly. Carry Snickers and Gatorade for your break. xD
- •Don’t buy too many books before even starting your prep. I had also bought OG, Manhattan Foundations of Verbal and Quant and Manhattan Advanced Quant books but didn’t even open them.
Test Day Experience:
- •I had an 8 am slot and the test center was a bit far from home, so I had to wake up at 5.
- •I was unable to sleep till 2 am the night before because of restlessness. Drank coffee in the morning and hoped that sleep deprivation won’t affect my performance much lol.
- •Went for the exam feeling quite confident. Attempted verbal first.

Yes, determining what caused you to miss a question and addressing it is so key
Nice work!
May all go well for you going forward.
