Hey
TheNarsisisst,
You got a decent score of 550 to start with, without having significant level of preparation.
To start with, first you need to have a basic idea about the present level of knowledge to map it to your target score. You can give the diagnostic test a try to assess the present level and then use the
GMAT Planner Tool to set up your target test score.
• This tool can provide you a recommended GMAT plan as per your present proficiency level and your target test score.
Now, with a 3-months preparation time, it is definitely possible to get a score of 700+. GMAT comes with a structured well-defined curriculum for the testing purpose, hence one can prepare for GMAT with a 120 to 200 hours of time investment. As a thumb rule, one needs to allocate 10 hours for every 10 points’ improvement.
If you are looking for an 85+ percentile in both quant and verbal, you can follow a module-wise learn and refine strategy.
• Learn the concepts of every section in a time-limit.
o The most important step, which will help you to build the foundation. You can try the GMAT Strategy Session to have an idea about the way things can be done.
• Once the concept learning is done, check the applicability of those concepts in the quizzes, mocks or advanced testing platforms like GMAT Prep.
o You can try different platforms like Scholaranium and different Ability Quizzes to test your learning.
• Start taking full length mocks once you are done with all the modules of quant and verbal.
o Try the GMAT Prep Mocks to have an idea about the applications of your learning.
If you stick to the above plan, with proper execution, you can definitely achieve and surpass your target score in the GMAT. Also, you can now choose the order at which you will take the section, so in the preparation also take the sections as per your convenience. However, it is a good idea not to stop any of sections totally while preparing for the other section.
As I said earlier, there are many other students who successfully achieved their target score and surpassed that. Read some of those stories:
