There's no single "ideal" ratio, as it highly depends on multiple factors like your starting baseline score, target score, learning efficiency, and the quality of study materials. Take a diagnostic test to get an idea of the starting point/baseline.

All the best!

What is the ideal preparation time period vs actual score expected ratio seen among GMAT test takers? I have booked my test in end of September, will I have enough time (with target score as 675+) to prepare considering 2 hr study time each day post work timing.

Going through posted debriefs in the Share GMAT Experience subforum could help give a sense how long/likely different score jumps may be. If you've been prepping for a bit but not taken an official mock yet, consider taking one to get a sense where you current base is.

Sorry but why did you book it so far in advance?
