What was your prep time and base score?

My base was almost zero . Didn’t study for 10 years . Out of fear , I didn’t give any starting mock . You may consider that as most minimum base .

Prep time was almost 8 months

Hi Congrats! Would you mind share your study plan?

I shared the plan . Didn’t take outside help . I focused on clearing my basics and focusing on doing more questions from gmat .

I regularly practiced and build base. As I was out of touch of studies for many years ( almost a decade ! ) . It took time to build up pace and consistency.

Bro , my strong point was ds and weak point MSR . So I focused on first 6-7 questions and msr to get right mostly.

Though in the exam , the ds were very tough as compared to other questions, but comparatively msr ( non math ) was much easy . Though I had underperformed in that section. Could have / should have scored a bit more in that section.

All is in gmat club . Re do the official questions again . Work on weak topics of quant as ds and tpa are related on quant depth. This should suffice.

Hey everyone, I have taken the wrong course for GMAT from Career launcher and I feel like I became a fool after taking the course and now I don't have a budget too for going for something like EGMAT or TTP. And I'm looking for a study buddy too. If anyone here is interested in becoming a study buddy of mine who has TTP or EGMAT. Because I'm struggling in Quant a lot. And I'm planning to give an exam in August.

Please help me out 🙏. I will be grateful to you friends.

Please DM I'll appreciate it.
