One-Month GMAT Strategy to 700+: A High-Intensity, Smart Study Plan
Introduction:
Briefly mention why a one-month prep is possible with the right strategy.
Highlight key challenges and how to overcome them.
Week 1: Diagnostic & Core Concept Mastery
Take a full-length GMAT mock test to assess your baseline.
Identify weaknesses using an
error log.
Focus on fundamental concepts (Number Properties, Algebra, SC Rules, CR Patterns).
Use official guides + GMAT Club explanations to strengthen basics.
Week 2: Targeted Practice & Timing Strategy
Prioritize weak areas with medium-hard level questions.
Implement timing drills: 2-min per Quant Q, 1.5-min per Verbal Q.
Start using the "Elimination First" approach for Verbal.
Take another mock test and analyze mistakes.
Week 3: Hard Questions & Adaptive Strategy
Solve 700+ level Quant and Verbal questions daily.
Mimic test conditions (no calculator, strict time, endurance training).
Learn shortcuts for RC and CR pattern recognition.
Take 2 full-length mock tests (analyze trends).
Week 4: Final Tuning & Test-Taking Mindset
Focus on accuracy over speed in practice.
Review error logs & repeat weak topic drills.
Master educated guessing for tough questions.
Take 1-2 final mocks under real test conditions.
Final 48 Hours:
No new concepts—only revision & light practice.
Sleep well and stay mentally fresh.
Key Takeaways:
Quality over quantity: Don't do random 1000-question banks.
Adaptive learning: Target weaknesses instead of generic study.
Real test simulation: Mocks should be official + strict timing.
