Well, I am sorry to realize. You have not mentioned anything about your study plan and the material that you referred to.
I may sound absurd and/or direct to you but I do not see any connection between the score and the passport. I suggest that you retrospect and introspect.

Hi anuja,

The good thing is you have a little time to prepare here..about 3.5 months.

You should alrady have a little understanding about where you are lacking. Start working on those aspects. I'm assuming you have finished with the OG once. Plan to start from the basics of something you are weak in and refer to not more than 2 sources. Too many sources, too many questions are too many strategies will confuse you.

Do tell me if you need and help.

Regards,

Shouvik.

Hi anuja123, indeed 2 hours a day is sufficient. In fact, I recommend ~10 hours a week on GMAT, so if you can spare a couple of hours most evenings, and then something similar on the weekend, you should be good to go. It doesn't take 500 hours to study for the GMAT, ~10 hours a week for a couple of months can yield great rewards. It's all about how you use your time, though. Don't mistake activity for achievement. If you spend 5 hours studying but don't absorb anything, it's not as productive as 2 good solid hours where you actually learn a new concept and a couple of useful strategies.

Good luck and don't get discouraged!

Even half an hour is worth the effort if it is productive. Remember, keep walking!
