Thank you for your answer! really appreciate it.
Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
I have studied for about 2 months now and planning to do my exam early december. ( online one due to covid )
2) What study materials have you used so far?
I have used EmpoweredGmat for 1 month which helped me very much but after completing all the sections ( apart from the one I needed an additional book for ) I started to do the practice exams on the official gmat training
3) On what 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)?
I did not take any CATs. but did take about 6 practice exams so far. scoring from 400 - 510. My quantitave part is mostly better than my verbal part (e.g 32Q & 14V and only 1 out of 12 at integrated reasoning questions ). Scoring this low on IR is probably because I had no concentration left at the end of the test and the reason for the low score on the verbal part is probably because I am not a native speaker.
I am starting to feel way more confident about the Quant part
Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
my overall goal score is 650. for my master I need a minimum of 550 and with a score of 650 I will be accepted regardless
5) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
Start of next month ( 2 dec probably ) as my deadline for my masters is the 15th of december and want to have time for a possible retake
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
Maastricht University. Strategic marketing. deadline is 15 december.
