610 to 700+, HELP NEED!

Hi BMO

Let me know if you can spare an hour for a demo session to analyse your attempt.

Hi BMO,

Raising a 530 to a 610 is a solid achievement in the timeframe that you have described, but you will have to learn and hone a number of additional skills to get to the point that you can consistently score 700+. Thankfully, the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Exam, so you CAN train to score at a higher level.

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:

1) Have you taken any other CATs/mocks besides the two that you mentioned? 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)?
2) Going forward, how many hours do you think you will be able to consistently study each week?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

At a Q41 level, you may have fundamental gaps on Quant. At a V34 level, there may be ways you can make your approach more efficient. For specific suggestions, providing more details about the types of errors you make and issues you face on a Mock may be helpful.

How to get a V40 or higher on the GMAT? What about a V51?

Dear Rochix123
I am also tried TTP course because there are many reviews that value its Math section.
After I partially passed Math model, excluding geometry and probability, my score was ameliorated from Q35 to Q44.
Now I am in a way to study simultaneously Math, to refresh knowledge, and Verbal sections.

If you are good at grasping any concept quickly, you can choose whatever service platform please you.
In other case stick to the service that provides comprehensive approach and study plan as TTP does.

Hi BMO

Sorry about how things went with your GMAT. The key to scoring well on GMAT is to focusing on the right aspects. If your score doesn't improve much even after months of prep, then that means that there's something wrong with the preparation strategy. First let us understand the right way to prepare for GMAT.

How to prepare for GMAT in the right way?

Before you start preparing for any test, it's important to understand the structure of the test, what is tested on it and then prepare accordingly. In this case, GMAT is a test which focuses on your application skills along with the conceptual knowledge. So, just learning the concepts and practicing questions without focusing on the right methodology will not do any good. So, I suggest you to first focus on the methodology to solve questions of a particular topic and only then move to practicing questions of that topic.

So, the right way to prepare would be to first

• learn the concepts of a topic,
• learn the right methodology to solve questions of that topic
• practice a few questions of that topic to solidify your learning and then move to the next topic
• Repeat the process for all the topics

And working on weak areas is equally important. You move to the next topic only if you get a decent accuracy in the previous topic. If not, you revisit the concepts, fill the conceptual gaps and then move to the next topic only when you are 100% confident. There are a couple of articles which you might find helpful.


And you can go through the recording below to understand how to strategize your GMAT prep in an effective way.

What might have gone wrong?

As we have understood the right way to prepare, now let's analyze what could have gone wrong. You have learnt the concepts of the topics and you must have practiced questions as well. But did you focus on the methodology part? Did you focus on working your weak areas?

These two could be the major reasons for you not scoring well. So, this time make sure you do your prep in the right way by focusing on all the above parameters. And regarding the resource, choose a resource which can help you with not only the concepts, but the methodology as well. And the questions to practice and their detailed solutions are equally important as the solutions help you understand where exactly you are making the mistake. And a study plan would be an added advantage as you will have clear deadlines.

And regarding how to proceed further and the study strategy, I think it would be better if we can get in touch over a call and discuss the same as I would like to ask a few questions about your current preparation strategy and your weak areas. You can use the below link to get in touch with me.
