Hi,
I have given the GMAT twice 1st Attempt (540 Q42 V23 AWA5.5 IR3) and 2nd Attempt (660 Q47 V34 AWA5.5 IR3) , and now wish to give it for the third time but I am unable to increase my Quant score from 47/48 to 51 and thus require some guidance so as to how to practice and improve my score in the next 2 weeks for I wish to give the GMAT by the end of December.
I once again request each and everyone who is a part of the forum to kindly share your expertise and help me out with this issue so that I can prepare accordingly from here onwards.
Regards
Anshul Kakria

Hi Anshul,
Two weeks but might a stretch but if you plan on taking the test at the end of December, here is a customized one month study plan that can help boost your score: https://www.gmatpill.com/gmat-practice-t ... study-plan
Use this as a guideline. You don’t have to follow it exactly but the structure of the study plan should be the same structure that you take in your approach. This helps to optimize your retention and learning.
As you study, we recommend that you focus on one particular subsection for multiple consecutive days before moving onto the next. You can see this in our study plan where we recommend 5 days on nothing but SC -- before moving onto CR and then RC.
Here is a sample SC video to help you start your journey: https://www.gmatpill.com/sentencecorrect ... ythons.mp4
Best of luck - we are here to help.

Hi Anshul,
First off, a 660/Q47 is a strong score (it's right around the 80th percentile overall), so it could be enough to get you into your first-choice School. As such, a retest might not be necessary. Depending on the Schools that you plan to apply to, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile. There's a Forum full of them here:

Raising a 660 to a 740 would likely require far more study time than the two weeks that you've described. You would likely need at least another 1-2 months of consistent, guided study to hit that goal and you would have to make some significant improvements to how you handle BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections.
1) How long did you study for each of your attempts at the GMAT?
2) What study materials have you used?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
4) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
