Hey guys,

So I took the gmat once and scored a 500 with barely any studying... and then when i retook it after studying, I got a 400 and I was devastated and no longer wanted to pursue anything in regards to MBA. Sadly, due to personal circumstances, I am being urged to take the GMAT again, and I don't know if I can do well because I have no motivation. I am currently in my last semester of my BBA degree, so I wanted to focus on this first, but I want to try to re-do the GMAT in July or something, so basically I have 7 months, but this semester is really tough for me so i want to focus on school first and get in a little bit of studying for gmat along the way. I'm done school in April and I can focus a bit more on the GMAT then, so if you guys have any recommendations on how i should study, please let me know... I need all the help I can get, and I really can't afford to pay for expensive tutoring programs and what not.. I'm just in a difficult financial and emotional situation right now, so I'd appreciate any help I can get. Thank you all!!

2. Empower GMAT
3. Math Revolution (Only Math)

You can start with Quant or Verbal which suits you. If you have started with Quant then Start with the Arithmetic but if started with verbal then start first with Sentence correction. One month for learning Quant concepts and one month for practicing question and same practice for Verbal. During you Practicing question don't forget to make an error log to track your weak areas after practice. Once you know your weak areas revise your Concepts related to those areas and do some more Practice. 6-8 CATs are enough for practice the real tests. Make your Stamina for sitting 3 hours in the test and don't study more than 2 hours in one sit and 4 hours per day

Top CATs for Practice

2. Manhattan CATs
3. Kaplan CATs

Considering your target score to be 700 or above, We will first recommend you to appear for a free diagnostic test on https://www.mathrevolution.com. Also, check our free trial pack and free-video lesson.

Raising score of 200 points needs consistency and dedication. Also, until you can track your performance, you won’t get enough confidence to beat the GMAT. And for this, you will need diagnostic tests.
Apart from this, what exactly you need :

1. A unique, alternative approaches to solve quant questions in a short period, thus saving the time of yours and increase accuracy and finally the score.
2. Up-To-Date questions that meet GMAT exam trends. You don’t need to waste your time on outdated questions here and there.
3. An expert to resolve your queries related to Quant sections individually.

Various possible combinations that you should keep in mind to achieve a score of 700 or above are: V37/Q50, V39/Q49, V43/Q45
