GMAT Help Needed [#permalink] New post   14 May 2021, 09:19
Hello Guys,

Hope everyone is doing well and safe at home.

I am facing some difficulty regarding how to start on my revision of concept and my practice. I have been studying for 3 months to build my fundamental and concepts (from Jan to March 2021). I have almost done that but unfortunately, I got infected with Covid-19 and I lost my 25-30 days in it. So now I am pondering upon how to revise all the concepts and fundamental that I have done during the last 3 months as well as how to start practising the questions. Can I revise and practise parallel?

I am trying to do my revision after this gap in my best capability but a word of advice from an experienced test taker would help me a lot.


Thanks !

Hi swapnils10,

I'm sorry to hear about your situation with Covid - and I hope that you're feeling better now. While GMAT skills do tend to 'fade' over time, a one-month lag in your studies might not be too bad. The logical next step at this point would be for you to take a NEW, FULL-LENGTH CAT/mock (perhaps this weekend) - so that we can get a sense of your current skills, strengths and weaknesses.

In addition, before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?

Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

ScottTargetTestPrep Thanks for your reply.

Before starting the Prep. I didn't attempted any full length CAT. But before start of my study in January 2021. I have attempted Math Revolution 3 Hrs/ 76 Question test dedicated to Quant and scored Q35-Q36. Post preparation of concept, I have not attempted any full length CAT or section dedicated exam. For verbal I am using E-gmat and solving quiz provided by them. for verbal, I have not attempted any section dedicated exam. This is my first time to prepare for GMAT. I am planning to Schedule my GMAT date in first week of July 2021 subjected to my mock score resembles with my target score of 700+.

Hi swapnils10,

The first week of July is less than 2 months away - and if you have not taken any CATs/mocks yet, then we have no idea what your current 'ability level' is right now' and we don't know what you should be focused on. As such, I want to reiterate that you should take your 1st CAT sometime soon - and make sure to take it in a fashion that matches-up with how you will take the Official GMAT. Once you have that Score, you should post back here (or you can feel free to PM me directly) and we can discuss the results and how you might best proceed with your studies.

To start, why don't you take a practice exam to see where you are at?
