Need advice to improve GMAT score from 440 to 700+ [#permalink] New post   21 Nov 2018, 01:18
Hello All,

I scored 440 (Q44 V11) in this attempt, although I was constantly scoring 520 to 540 in mocks (Manhattan mocks).
Can anyone tell me how to improve my score. Which study material and mocks should I practice. What kind of study should I do to achieve 700+ score.

Hello sandy2018 ....... welcome to the community.

I definitely do not consider myself as a GMAT expert , but below are the pieces I would have considered :

1. It seems that I am not doing well in Verbal. I accept it and I will work to improve the same. But what pieces to work upon ?
2. Let me get the ESR and compare that with the analysis report of Manhattan mocks . SO I got the pieces to work upon. But , do I have proper basics ?
3. Let me try couple of stuffs - some standard companies free trials etc to see which one suits me best ( hmm....... I am an independent learner - and I think Manhattan books and/or Gmat Club resources are more than enough for me ).
4. Re-learn each topic .
5. Keep track of your progress by regular mocks & revise using error log.
6. For initial strategy : https://gmatclub.com/forum/gmat-study-p ... ml#p605856

Never forget to take moments off here and there.


All the best !!

Best Books

For Concept Learning

Manhattan Quant Guides
Manhattan Verbal Guides
For CR: The Powerscore GMAT Critical Reasoning Bible
For RC: Aristotle RC Grail

For Practice

The Official Guide for GMAT 2015-19
The Official Guide for GMAT Quantitative Review 2015-19
The Official Guide for GMAT Verbal Review 2015-19

Best Courses (Budget)

1. e-GMAT
2. Empower GMAT
2. 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

1. Official GMAC CATs
2. Manhattan CATs
3. Kaplan CATs
4. GMAT Club Quant CATs

Powerscore is the best book for CR. Very easy to understand and very structured approach.
For RC Aristotle is the best.
For SC, use Manhattan guide. However if you can afford E-Gmat verbal course, I would suggest you go for it.

Sandy2018, it is sad to know tat you got low score.

It seems you need to improve in verbal lot.
Start reading English articles to improve your comprehension

Manhattan scores always +60/-60 to your actual gmat score
Start with official material and manhattan books for basic
then give gmatmock

Dont use all resources at once,

You can try e-gmat, best for improoving score in SC

All D best!!!
