Hey everyone,
I would really appreciate any suggestions of GMAT tutors in London (preferably affordable and online for COVID-19 & time zone reasons).
I took my first GMAT last week after 7.5 months of study (2.5 MGMAT and 5 TTP). I scored 600 (Q39 and V35), which was an improvement from my 490 baseline (Q22 and V37), but lower than my 630 average across 5 CATs taken in the 2 weeks leading up to the exam (MGMAT and gmatprep). My highest individuals scores are Q44 and V41.
My thoughts are: Studying with TTP, I've covered 2000+ questions in Quant, but didn't leave enough time to refine and drill down weakness (< 2 weeks) and I haven't had enough practical application of Verbal (probably completed around 500 questions). I have my ESR as well.
Since I have covered all the content, yet still struggle to raise my Quant and Verbal score, I am looking for a tutor to help me point out where exactly I'm going wrong so I'll be ready for my next test in late November.
Thanks

Hi adkor95,
For this next phase of your studies, you have to be careful about confusing "quantity" of study with "quality" of study. Solving 2500+ questions seems a bit excessive - and during your prior studies, it's possible that you were re-inforcing some 'bad habits' that actually kept you from scoring higher. You might not actually need a tutor either, but either a Score Goal of 700+, you will almost certainly need to commit to at least another 2 months of consistent, guided study.
1) Are you still planning to apply to M7 Schools in Round 2? What are the exact application deadlines that you are facing?
2) On what 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)?
3) Going forward, how many hours do you think you can consistently study each week?
While the ESR doesn’t provide a lot of information, there are usually a few data points that we can use to define what went wrong on Test Day (and what you should work on to score higher). Since you purchased the ESR, then I'll be happy to analyze it for you. If you would rather not post it publicly, then you can feel free to PM it directly to me.
