I just gave my first GMAT mock through GMAT Prep Software and scored 390 marks (VA17, QA27, IR5) without studying because I wanted to check my level. I'm really disappointed and demotivated with this. My target is to score 700 min. I'm 19, graduation final year student and my semesters will be on Dec. I wanted to give GMAT by last week of Jan. But I'm not sure with such marks, whether I'll be able to achieve my target or not. Please help, I'm really frustrated.
PS: Also, I'm going to appear for CAT'17 in last week of Nov, but my main focus is on GMAT

Since this is your first time you take GMAT without any preparation, this score isn't unusual. You should study some basic concepts of GMAT before taking any CAT to estimate your ability better.
Any way, you could still reach your target. Just the beginning, and it's too soon to conclude anything
Why dont you study GMAT for about 2-3 months and then take GMATPrep again?

Hi NiCChamp,
Many Test Takers are unhappy with their initial practice scores, but you really shouldn't be. It's just a measure of your skills right now - and you're going to improve on this initial score as you study and hone your skills. That having been said, I'm curious about why you're studying for the GMAT right now? GMAT scores are valid for 5 years, but most Business School Programs expect applicants to have an undergraduate degree and a certain amount of 'quality' Work Experience (typically 2-5 years of meaningful WE) before they apply. While some Programs accept applicants without WE, you have not stated what your plans are, so we should be sure that you're not spending a lot of time/effort getting a GMAT Score that you won't be able to use before it expires.
1) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
2) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
