Hi sood1596,

Although I cannot provide an exact study plan, would you like some general advice on how to improve your GMAT quant and verbal skills? Also, you may find it helpful to read the following article:

Hi sood1596,

Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you currently study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) Did you take just one that one CAT/mock? 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)?
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

Hi sood1596,

You've clearly made some nice progress between your 1st and 2nd CAT Scores. Score increases on the GMAT are rarely 'linear' though; statistically-speaking, raising a 590 to the point that you can consistently score 700+ will likely require at least another 2 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.

Since you are open to the Round 2 application deadlines, you still have plenty of time to study and improve. In addition, since you know the specific School that you want 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/

1) What type of study routine do you follow at this point?
2) Assuming that at least another 2 months of study would be needed, will you still be able to commit 25-30 hours of study time each week?
