Scored 560 in first GMAT Prep mock. Q47 V21 IR3

Hey vaibhav3005,
2 months can definitely be enough if you have the time to put in. However, a 150 improvement is a tall order. It's clear from your scores you need a heavy focus on Verbal.
What you need now is a study plan. It should include:

- Daily study. With 2 months to go, you don’t have the luxury of too many days off. Be realistic, though – try to and think ahead of time of all the non-GMAT things you’ll have to do over the next 2 months, and build a schedule around them. It is, however, advisable to take one day off every week and do something really fun!
- Budget about 100-120 study hours overall, the recommended amount of time. This is not so intense for two months if you are free from work.

Rank the Verbal Gmat topics from weakest to strongest. Starting with your weakest, plan a mini schedule for each subject, which looks like this:
-Review fundamental material, while keeping two different lists going:
-A summary of the material, if it helps you absorb the subject matter.
- A list of practical tips for question solving.
- Solve subject-related questions.
Review your mistakes after each section.
Continuously update practical tips list.

As far as your schedule allows, create a daily routine of reading articles and going over your vocabulary lists. This part is essential in coping with the Verbal section, and should take at least 1-1.5 hours daily.

While doing this, I suggest breaking your verbal study every 3-4 days in order to review the Quant material for a day and maintaining your high level there.

Hope this helps!

you can start with MGMAT books for quant and official questions for practice and for sc read MGMAT book and for CR read powerscore bible.

Thank you for your valuable insight, Rich! I haven't decided about the application part yet as my decision to appear for GMAT is quite recent. As I do not have much work experience, I'm looking forward to applying for MiM programs in Europe, IE and ESADE being the primary targets. I could really use your guidance and suggestions regarding the same. Also, sincere apologies for the delay in replying.

Hi vaibhav3005,

Since you're ultimately asking Admissions questions, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile. There's a Forum full of them here:

Until you have an Official GMAT Score, those Admissions Experts won't be able to offer a complete analysis of your situation - but they should be able to offer some insights/suggestions into the other aspects of your profile.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
