Regarding gmat

270 means your fundamentals are not in place. Take the advice from experts, who have been there and done that, therefore I would point to this wonderful discussion, link below

Hello,
Are you from science background? If yes, the quant part will be so easier for you for sure. Getting 270 (without prep) does not mean that you can't score more than 600. I've seen so many people in the gmatclub who studied just for 1 month and got 700+. Actually, it totally depends on your previous caliber, but i can assure you that studying from good materials and if your way of study is perfectly fine you can cross your expected score.

Hi Harshika2305.

Plenty of people start at relatively low GMAT scores and achieve large increases.

For example, GMAT Club user dcummins recently scored 710, and he started at 430. https://gmatclub.com/forum/from-430-to- ... 13804.html

I also know a non-native English speaker who started at 380 and ended up scoring 750, with 47 in verbal.

So, the idea that your score would not increase more than 100 to 150 points is just not correct. With effective approaches and sufficient work, you can make your score increase as much as you want it to increase.

That said, driving a GMAT score higher can take a lot of work, and driving a GMAT score 300 points higher generally takes a lot of organized work that involves starting by learning the foundational concepts necessary for answering GMAT questions, progressing to learning how to apply those concepts in answering GMAT questions, and carefully answering hundreds of GMAT questions to master arriving at correct answers.

In doing that type of work, you would probably achieve results much more readily if you were to use a self-study course that lays the work out for you, helps you to track your progress, and provides plenty of practice questions. For quant, as user cantaffordname suggested, Target Test Prep would be a great option. You can try the course for $1. So, take a look.

Hi Harshika2305,

Many Test Takers are unhappy with their initial practice scores, but you really shouldn't be. That 270 is just a measure of your skills right now - and you'll improve on that result over time as you learn more about the content, Tactics and little 'secrets' of the Exam. Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on your timeline and your goals:

Studies:
1) What study materials do you currently have access to?
2) When you took this practice CAT Test, did you leave any questions unanswered (meaning that you ran out of time and did not answer all of the questions in any of the sections)?

Goals:
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
4) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
