Hi All,
I recently took the GMAT and would love to hear any advice on how to get my score above 750.
While I was tracking around 750 in my official GMAC practice tests (generally around 49Q, 44V), I ended up getting a 710 (47Q, 42V) on my exam last weekend. Specifically, I've found that I struggle with timing on the quant section and sentence correction on the verbal section. In terms of preparation, I am a current college senior and studied intensely for about 2.5 weeks over winter break (3-4 hours per day) using the MGMAT guides and practice problems from the official quant and official verbal guides. This time around, I'm hoping that consistent studying over a 1-2 month period will help me reach my target score (ideally 750+). Are there any specific resources or prep courses you'd recommend for my particular weaknesses? Any feedback/guidance is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for all of your help.

Congratulations for the already great score. Though if you want to up your Quant score, you should try out TTP. Since you have ample amount of time, you would be able to complete the intense course it is. It will surely increase your Quant score by 2-3 points. All the best!!

Hi hoya21,
Many GMATers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores, so if you really studied for just 2.5 weeks, then that could help to explain the slight 'swing' in your Scores. A 750+ Score requires an incredibly high level of 'precision' - and just a handful of missed opportunities/little mistakes on Test Day could turn a 750 into a 710. This is meant to say that you might naturally improve if you commit more study time - although there's also something to be said about properly training to take advantage of how the GMAT is written.
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:
1) Did you study for just 2.5 weeks or was there any additional study time beyond that?
2) Did you use any other study materials besides the books that you mentioned?
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)?
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
If you took your GMAT at a Test Center, then you might also choose to purchase the Enhanced Score Report. While the ESR doesn’t provide a lot of information, there are usually a few data points that we can use to define what you should work on to score higher. If you purchase the ESR, then I'll be happy to analyze it for you.
