Hi jm12345,

I'm sorry to hear that Test Day did not turn out better. Many GMATers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores, so if you studied for just 1.5 months, then it's likely that you just have not put in enough time and effort to score higher yet. By extension, you might naturally improve over time as you continue to study, but the Score improvement that you're looking for will require that you hone some specific Quant and Verbal skills going forward. Thankfully, the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Exam, so you CAN train to score at a higher level. Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how your timeline and your goals:

1) For your next attempt, are you planning to take the At-home GMAT or are you planning to take your GMAT at a Test Facility?
2) Going forward, how many hours do you think you can consistently study each week?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

If you took your Official 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 went wrong on Test Day (and what you should work on to score higher). If you purchase the ESR, then I'll be happy to analyze it for you.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich

Dear Aditim12,
there are plethora of platforms that provides online courses to improve Q & V. You can do your research and choose which platform meets your requirements.
I would suggest to try TTP course because its well organized study plan and unique approach already has helped me to ameliorate my Quant score form 35 to 44.
I have not completed the Verbal part yet, but what do I say is that its curriculum, not only covers all general materials but also provides step by step guide to hone the acquired knowledge. Moreover, I have found some answers to SC questions that were not disclosed in the Manhattan guide such as inner and outer list, delayed subject, etc.

BLTN Thanks for your advice, I have already used TTP for both verbal and Quant…it is good 😀
but I feel out of place rn. Maybe it’s lack of confidence
