I am from India, an engineering graduate working at a software firm. I have around 1.9 years of work experience. I need some advice on preparing for GMAT test, I just started my weekend classes for GMAT at Princeton Review. I have scored a 380 in the diagnostic test without any knowledge on GMAT.
I am looking for European B schools especially Germany (Fall 2018 intake).
Can someone please provide me some guidance to improvise my GMAT score so that I can get into some good B school?
Like,
Any study plan should I follow?
When should I take up my GMAT to apply for fall 2018 intake?

Note - I am ready to put in my toughest effort to achieve that target.
Any suggestions or guidance would be much appreciated.
