Hi snigdh0699,

I would not say it's impossible, but it's pretty darn difficult. If you are able to give yourself more time, I'd do that.

To add a fourth Expert opinion to the list, my thoughts align most with those expressed just above by ScottTargetTestPrep. The type of person who can improve by 50-70 points in a week is someone who likely has not studied much or has a low baseline score and volatile practice results (if any). That is, a student who has taken maybe the two free official mocks, not much else, and earned, say, a 430 and a 500 would stand a far better chance of hitting a 550-570 than one who has taken six official mocks, studied OG questions for three months, and earned scores ranging from 630 to 700. That is just how probability works. (Do not get me started on what it might take to jump from a 700 to a 750/770.)

In the end, it depends on personal benchmark scores and goals. For most people, simply hoping to increase a score by 50-70 points is not going to lead to a desirable outcome. Simply put, most people will find they need more time (and practice).

Good luck with your studies.

Hi snigdh0699,

That type of Score gain in such a short period of time would depend a great deal on your 'starting point' (for example, it's far easier to go from 450 to 500 - since there are lots of different ways to pick up those additional points - than it is to go from 700 to 750). At most 'score levels' though, an improvement of 50-70 points in just 1 week is probably too difficult to be considered realistic.

Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, 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? 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)?

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?
