Hi ekawali,

I’m glad you reached out, and I’m happy to help. Since you recently scored V22, it’s likely that you are struggling in more verbal areas than just Reading Comprehension, and since you scored Q42, it’s likely that, in quant, you have to work on more than just DS questions. Would you like some general advice on how to improve your both your quant and verbal skills?
Ready to rock.

Hi ekawali,

If you plan to take the GMAT by the end of July, then you have no more than about 1.5 months of additional study time. However, raising your current scores to the point that you can consistently score 700+ will likely require at least another 3 months of consistent, guided study - and you'll have to make significant improvements to how you handle BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections. Thankfully, the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Exam, so you CAN train to score at a higher level. That having been said, the timeframe you describe is likely too short for your Goal, so you have to decide what's MORE important: scoring 700+ on the GMAT OR taking the Exam by the end of July and applying with whatever Score you earn at that time. Those two options would lead to different Study Plans.

1) What is your first-choice School?
2) What is the minimum Score that you would be satisfied with?
3) Going forward, how many hours do you think you can consistently study each week?

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