Hi poojavyas,

Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) How long have you studied?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) How have you scored on each of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for each)?

Goals:
4) What is your goal score?
5) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

Hi,

So I studied for 2 months without any job or anything. I mainly used OGs for practise and Kaplan, Manhattan for concepts along with some other notes.

My scores varied greatly from 580 to 680 but as per my research I think every website has a different way of calculating scores and that's why scores are highly unreliable and it's better to concentrate on the number of questions right or wrong.

I aim to achieve anything above 690 so that I can apply to top B-Schools in the US.

Thanks.

Hi poojavyas,

When I asked for each of your CAT Score results, I did not mean a 'range' - I need to see the exact scores (and the order of the scores) so that we can see whether there are any patterns or not and whether you're likely 'stuck' at this score level or not. You've stated that you took 13-15 mocks/CATs, so I now also need to know which 'brands' of CATs you've taken - since you are going to need new CATs for the next phase of your studies.

Without any additional information, I would suspect that you would need at least another 2 months of consistent, guided study to hit your score goal. In addition, if you don't have a specific list of Schools that you plan to apply to, then you are probably not going to be ready to submit a properly crafted series of applications for Round 1. By extension, you might want to consider pushing back your applications to Round 2.
