Re: Improve score from 570 to 650 in 2 weeks [#permalink]
Hi there!
Do not get discouraged by below-expected score. Gmat is not a test of knowledge rather than a test of mind. With this said, it is a challenging exam and you need time to improve.
My own journey is not easy either, although not yet down, I have started with below 350 with first official score 430, was able to reach 610. I improved my quant following this link https://gmatclub.com/forum/ultimate-gma ... 44512.html
It is a great resource, if you are, like me, financially drained and cannot afford subscription. Start with your strongest area, excel in it, then move to your medium ability area- improve it. If your weakest area such as combinatorics is too hard, you may want to skip it. Focus on your strong part. And do utilize , apart from above link, forum of this website. You really have everything here to beat the gmat.
Happy studying and good luck

I took the gmat about 1 month ago and got a 550 (Q39, V27). I thought I could have gotten at least a 600 easily and re-took it 2 weeks ago and got a 570 (Q42, V26), still not what I expected (hoped for a score of around 650). In this last test I thought I was doing really bad in my Quant as I was running out of time and had to guess some questions at the end. This could have affected my verbal score as I was a little disappointed at my quant and was a little agitated during the verbal section.

I have studied for 1 month more or less using the OG book and the forum here. I am planning to re-take the exam in 2 weeks (aiming for a 650ish) but I do not know how to prepare for it. I believe that I should increase my verbal but I'm not really sure how and especially in such a short time. I got to say that I thought I was going to do much better in the verbal sections (in my practice exams I was getting around 31).



Hi,
I can understand how it feels to get a string of low scores after months of preparation. I was there in your situation a few months ago. I scored a 570 on my first GMAT test and was looking for a 100 point improvement. That's when I got to know about GMATWhiz and how it helped a couple of people increase their score by 100 points in a month. I took the course and found it really helpful.

I scored a 680 in my second attempt improving by 110 points. I strongly believe that GMATWhiz will be of a great help for you as well. DO check it out once. All the best!

Hi,
I understand that a string of low scores can be quite disappointing. Let me share my insights here regarding what you should be doing next.

My first recommendation to you would be to postpone your test to a later date. Giving the test just after two weeks without much of preparation might not make much difference. So, instead of wasting the money and time on another attempt, I would recommend you to invest the same in the preparation and then give the test when you feel confident.

And coming to your preparation strategy, there is a scope of improvement in both Quant and Verbal. To get a 650, you need to make sure that you get the easy-medium questions right. To do this, you need to fill the conceptual gaps and also use the right strategies to solve the question.

OG is a great source of questions for GMAT but it is not the ideal source from which you can prepare. You need to use a standard resource to understand the concepts and the methodology. If you’re open to studying using an online resource, I would recommend you to check the GMATWhiz course.

GMATWhiz has done extensive research on various types of questions one can get on the actual GMAT test. Understanding these types of questions and knowing how to solve them will get you a good score on GMAT. The concept booster and practice quiz help you solve these GMAT like questions using the right methodology. And the course provides real time improvement modules so that you can work on your weaker areas right away.

A quick turn around is definitely possible but it would definitely take a minimum of 30 days. GMATWhiz has helped many students to improve their score by more than 100 points. It has an average score improvement of 117 points which is the highest in the industry.

Here’s the success story of our student who improved her score by more than 130 points in a span of 40 days.
