Hey there,
I´m posting this message to call for tips and strategies to improve 110 points in 30-45 days.
Today I did the GMAT and scored 490 (Q39 and V19). I had been studying since 1st of January and my goal is 600.
As you can see, big gap between verbal and quant, although I have a B2/C1 level of english (did my bachelor entirely in english).
a) My 1st mock GMAT PREP was 400 (Q28 V17, without time concern, without knowing structure of exam, without answering 5-6 questions in math and 3-4 in verbal). 2nd mock GMAT PREP 25th March was 530 (Q38 V24. In this one I did the last 2-3 questions in math in a hurry and the same for verbal. Got 16 questions wrong on quant and after revewing them, I realized that I could have got 6 of them right. Verbal, I had 13 questions wrong. I was expecting more than V24, but dindn´t studied SC,CR and RC since 1st March, (not bad)).
And today I scored less.... Scored less and with all questions answered in Quant and Verbal, did last 2 questions of each section without enough time.
b) First 2 months I did Verbal OG16 (1h/day). March I did Quant OG16 in 3 weeks. Last 7 days, studying 5h/day. I was focused on SC and CR, using scholaranium from e-gmat.
Got 75% accuracy for easy SC, 65% for Medium, 40% for Hard.
For CR 93% easy and Medium 45%.
Quant I was practicing Medium and hard problems, was getting 50% accuracy on hard.
Basically, I was conditionally accepted to Rotterdam Erasmus University in Msc Marketing Management. I mean "Conditionally" because I need to get a 600 on GMAT and report this before 15th May, that gives me 45 days to improve my score.
What would be my best shot?
Im working full time. I can say that I will have 1h weekday to study, +3/4h weekend day + 3or4 days off with 5/6h of study day, this leave me with 40h-50h of study for either verbal or quant or both.
Since I applied 1/3 of the time on Quant and got from 28-39, should I apply again the same rule (15hfor quant and 30h for verbal), expecting a 3/4 points inprovement in Quant towards 43/44 and fighting for a V28 in verbal?
Thanks in advance
I wish good luck for all of you!

Hi Jeanpaul93,
There are a variety of different score 'combinations' that will get you to a 600, so you have some flexibility in terms of what you should study over the next 30-45 days. It's also worth noting that you won't need to correctly answer ANY "hard" questions on Test Day to hit your score goal, so you should NOT be focusing on those questions going forward. Your goal should be about 'precision' - correctly answering all of the 'gettable' questions while eliminating the silly/little mistakes from your work.
Studying just 1 hour a day (most days) is a bit of an 'issue'; is there any way to increase the availability you have for study?

Hey Rich,
Thank you for answering!
I´m making a schedule to get 1h30-2h a day to 100% focus. Is it better 2h in a row or 2short periods of 1h will get u better through the repeating processes?
25 weekdays x 1,5h let´s say 40h +20h between days off and weekends, +-60h.
Focusing only on Easy and Medium Level Questions, if I´m able to get lets say 80% accuracy consistently, would it be enough for a 600?
I appreciate your help,
João
