How to improve my Gmat Score to 550or more

HI, ibctrade,

I agree that TTP would be a great option for you. If you decide to check out the course and have any questions, feel free to reach out to me directly.

One thing that may help your Sentence Correction is an idiom list relevant to the GMAT. Memorizing commonly tested idioms can help make your solving more efficient, too.

Hi ibctrade,

I'm sorry to hear that your Official GMAT did not turn out better. Since the end of June is only 6 away, you will have to hone some specific skills to hit your Score Goal in that timeframe. The good news is that to earn a 550, you do NOT need to correctly answer any questions that you think are too hard or too weird. 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:

1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) On what dates (or approximate 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)?
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

Hi ibctrade,

To score at least 550, you need to be conceptually clear with all the topics. Go through the concepts of each topic in detail. Leave no stone unturned when it comes to the concepts. Deal with one topic at a time and move to the next topic only if you are 100% confident with the current topic.

Having said that, which resources are you using right now? And how many hours can you dedicate for studies in a day?

actually, I studied in E-GMAT platform, and I finished the video about Verbal and Quant,
I also studied the manhattan book of RC CR, SC, and one time of OG Gmat 2020,
but I still get that bad score in the last attempt.

Hello ibctrade,

A score of 430 is a bit shaky but you can achieve your target score of 550.

You can schedule a Comprehensive counseling(https://calendly.com/mathrevolution/1-on-1-session) session for 30 mins with one of our experts to have detailed advice on your current study plans.

We would like to recommend specific vital points which will be helpful. The score tells that neither the Math nor the Verbal is above average. Hence, both sections have to be taken care of simultaneously. To improve, you will require consistent learning and practice. Also, keep motivation high to learn.

A couple of things that can be a noticeable barrier to your scores would be some or all of the below.

• Lack of basic math skills
• Not detailed knowledge of GMAT Math pattern and Question types
• Inefficiency by using time-consuming Conventional method to tackle DS and PS questions still
• No expert support (maybe) who can tutor, analyze, and guide you during your learning
• Lack of many updated questions and practice in the recent exam trend
• Not well aligned with time to solve questions.

Since we are a math expert, we will recommend you go through our post on the GMAT club, which gives a complete Breakdown of GMAT math questions and types: https://gmatclub.com/forum/overview-of- ... l#p1641411

Hi ibctrade,

To properly plan out this next phase of your studies, we need to discuss your prior studies and timeline in more detail; you really answered just 1 of my questions in your last post.

1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) Did you take any practice CATs/mocks during your studies? On what dates (or approximate 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?

Hi ibctrade,

Thanks for letting me know the resources you have used. It's good that you have gone through the concepts videos of both Quant and Verbal. But did you deal with one topic at a time?

I feel that you did not work on your weak areas on a certain topic before you moved to the next one. That led to the snowballing of your weak areas. The ideal thing to do is to move to the next topic only if you are 100% clear of the current topic. If not, analyze what went wrong, identify your conceptual gaps and then work on them.

Please go through the recording below to understand the right way to strategize your prep.



As you are targeting a minimum score of 550, I suggest you to go through the concept videos once again, understand them perfectly this time. If you need any help with the strategy, please schedule a call with me using the link below and I will be happy to help.
