Need Some Advice!

Hi mansi1997,

One of the essential aspects to any GMAT Study Plan is to take FULL-LENGTH CAT/mocks under realistic testing conditions and at regular intervals (since there are Test-taking skills that take time to develop, but that can really only be learned by taking CATs over time). Many GMATers are unhappy with their initial practice scores, but you really shouldn't be worried about that initial result. To help you hit your Score Goal, we need a measure of your skills right now - and whatever that Score is, you'll improve on that result over time as you learn more about the content, Tactics and little 'secrets' of the Exam.

As such, I highly recommend that you take a FULL CAT sometime soon (perhaps this weekend); you can access 2 for free at www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). That score will give us a good sense of your current strengths and weaknesses and will help provide a basis for comparison as you continue to study. A FULL CAT takes about 3.5 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have those scores, you should report back here (or you can PM me directly) and we can discuss how you might best proceed with your studies.

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?

Goals:
3) What is your overall goal score?
4) When is your exact Official Test Date?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
