Hi,
I took the GMAT on 19th September 2017 with a 1.5 month prep and scored 460( V19 Q35). This was way less than the score I got in mocks
GMATPrep Free Test 1- 580 (V26 Q40)
GMATPrep Free Test 2- 520 (V22 Q38)
I know my preparation was lacking as I didn't do much practice and just completed my E-GMAT full V and Q course with a week's practice on Scholaranium.
Also, another factor that led to decrease in my score was that my test center had an internet connection issue and there was a 30 mins long disruption during my Verbal part ( Chose the section order as Quants, Verbal, IR& AWA) after I was past 32/ 75 mins and did 13/37 questions. This also caused me a reduction of 4 mins in my overall Verbal time of 75 mins due to which I was pacing and guessing throughout the last 10-12 ques of my Verbal Section.
I have written to GMAC for a free RE-take but haven't got a response yet. Anyway, I am taking the test again now and have taken full leaves and planning to schedule my GMAT on 26th October 2017.
I want some directions as to how should I go about my preparation to score a 700?
Should I quickly go through the concepts again and do the questions dedicated on the course of E-GMAT in the same order of quizzes like Application Quiz, Practice Quiz, OG Questions? Jump to Scholaranium straight ? or Pick up some other material?
I am also planning to purchase GMATPrep Exam Packs to increase my practice.
I struggle both in Quants and Verbal equally because I am from a commerce background and hence was out of touch in maths concepts since 5-6 years.
Expecting a prompt reply ! @E-GMAT, bb

You can order your Enhanced Score Report and work on your weakness. Try to determine which concept or section is your weakness and relearn the concep once again.Try to solve as much official questions as possible as you have a gmat test within a month.

Hi jyo806
I agree that the situation that you faced during the Official GMAT was 'disruptive' and can certainly help to explain why your Verbal Scaled Score would be lower than the ones from your practice CATs. However, it does NOT explain the drop in your Quant Scaled Score, so while you likely would have scored higher than 460 under 'normal' circumstances - it wouldn't have been that much higher than the low-500s.
Given your current ability level, with a Score Goal of 700+ you will likely need 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. As such, you should consider pushing back your planned Test Date.
1) What study materials have you used so far?
2) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
3) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
