At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

Hi Experts,
I am planning to give GMAT again, as soon as is possible (possibly in the next 15 days). Can anyone please analyze my ESR and provide feedback as to what would be the most feasible approach to improve my current score to the target score of 730+ (which I have been getting in mocks currently).

Hi Harsh,
First off, a 690/Q48 is a fantastic Score, so it could be enough to get you into your first-choice School. As such, a retest might not be necessary. Depending on the Schools that you plan to apply to, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile and plans. Those Experts should be able to answer your Admissions questions and help define the specific areas of your profile that could use some improvement. There's a Forum full of those Experts here:
https://gmatclub.com/forum/ask-admissio ... tants-124/
Many GMATers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores; in another post, you noted that you had studied for just 1.5 months though - so it's likely that you just have not put in enough time and effort to consistently score higher yet.
Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for - and before we get to the data in your ESR - it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
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) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

Hi,
Here's my GMAT experience so far and have answered your questions below as well-
---
"I have been preparing for GMAT for the last 1.5 months now. I gave the exam for the first time today and scored 690 (Q48, V35). The score is below my target score (730) and what is really disheartening for me is that the score is also below my official mock scores. I was not able to figure out why it is the way it is. Here is a rundown of the official mocks I have taken -
Prep1 680 (Q48, V35) - October 3rd 2021
Prep 2 680 (Q49, v34) - October 24 2021
Prep 3 720 (Q49, V39) - November 4 2021
Prep 4 730 (Q49, V40) - November 13 2021
Prep 5 750 (Q49, V42) - November 26 2021
I am fairly good at RC, I have focused a lot on CR and SC (self prep + Aristotle guide + practiced tons of OG questions; I realized SC was/is my weakest link in verbal). "
---------------------
1) How many hours do you typically study each week?
A: For last one and half months daily 4-5hrs (7 days a week) [Took leave from work]
2) What study materials have you used so far? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
A: For quant - OG questions only
For verbal - CR - Sandeep Gupta freely available material + OG questions (around 300)
SC - Self prep using SC guide (Aristotle) + OG questions (around 500+)
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
I am targeting R2-R3 and that's why wanted to be done with GMAT asap given that I am already late for R2. Target schools - ISB, NUS, UBC (Sauder)

Thanks
