Hello haithamnimer,

Your current GMAT score is shaky but you can surely do better.

Keep your motivation high.

With my GMAT tutoring, guidance, and counseling experience, we have to accept the fact with a pinch of salt that diagnostic/ mock test scores are above then what one should expect in a real test. There is often dropping in the score. Some students have even experienced a drop of 100+ pointers. It is one of the realities, and your preparation should not sideline this fact.

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

• 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.

Precisely, there has to be one end-to-end solution encompassing all the points mentioned above. We also want to understand your approach for solving PS and DS questions. You can try our free diagnostic test https://www.mathrevolution.com/diagnostic/dtExamMember and receive a comprehensive study guide by topic. This test will clearly help you understand your weak areas.

Also, make a note of various possible combinations to achieve your target score. The possible scores will help you track your performance after taking the mock or practice test. It will also help you maintain balance in both the sections, and you will always be in a great position to allot the study hours to a specific area accordingly.

You can also schedule a free counseling session for 20 mins with one of our experts: https://calendly.com/mathrevolution/1-on-1-session for detailed advice on your current study plans.

We appreciate your time and patience in reading this reply.

Should you need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected].

Success is within your reach.
Good luck!

Math Revolution Team




Hello,

I try to take the diagnostic test, but it says that the test has been expired.
Would you extend it again?

Hi haithamnimer,

I'm sorry to hear that Test Day didn't go as well as planned. When these types of score drops occur, the two likely "causes" involve either something that was unrealistic during practice or something that was surprising (or not accounted for) on Test Day. Before we discuss any of those potential issues though, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) What type of study routine were you following over the last 9 months? How many hours did you typically study each week?

2) What study materials have you used besides the OG? Did you take any other CATs/mocks besides those 4 Official ones?

3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks?


Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?

5) 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

1) 18-20 hours per week
2) I took a test at Manhatten, Veritas, and the economist. Please note that my Qunt score was more than 45 in all of these tests. Moreover, I am an Engineer, so Math is my strength area.
Also, I took a GRE test two years ago, and my Qunatitive score was 158.
3) in 4 consecutive days before the test date by 4 weeks!
in 18,19,20,21th May!
4)530 (Q39, V25) IR 2 and AWA 5
5)In fall 2022, I am targeting Australian business schools.

Hi haithamnimer,

Looking at your current study routine, you need to ensure that you avoid the approach of what I call “practice first and figure the rest out later” -- in other words, doing practice problems before understanding the concepts on which those problems are based, and thus trying to learn solely from reading solutions to problems. Trying to learn in such a way will leave gaps in your knowledge and impede progress. Thus, if you find that you are plateauing, perhaps try a more linear and structured approach to your prep. If you would like some more advice regarding how to structure your study plan, here is a helpful article:
