Format disclaimer since I'm on mobile.
Originally I wanted to start my MBA this fall. I underwent a lot of life changes at the beginning of this year (ended engagement, moved twice, have a puppy) and I wasn't able to study whatsoever for my first sitting. I didn't feel like paying to reschedule so I took it cold. I did alright in the Verbal, could use some improvement on Reasoning, and absolutely flopped the Quant. Overall 420.
The school I want to go to recommends to have at least a 500 when you apply. I was just promoted at my job so I still don't have a lot of spare time to study and I anticipate another job change next year as well. I really value my work-life balance because I had so much on my plate in undergrad that I started having panic attacks every Sunday night just looking at my schedule for that week. I'm confident that I can manage work + part time school but I want to be settled in my new position before I add more so that I don't have panic attacks again. All that said, I don't plan to start school for at least a year and a half, maybe two, but I'd like to get my GMAT out of the way ASAP.
I'd love to score 600 or more so that I'm a competitive applicant.
I guess I'm wondering, if I scored 420 cold, am I hopeless to aim for +600? If you've done this, do you have any advice? I'd prefer to score well and attend my school of choice but I need my MBA to continue advancing in my career. I'll go to an easier online school like UMGC if I need to but I'd rather not.

Hi MichelKesin,
You have to manage time to study by any means for score improvements. What materials did you go so far? Could you please mention your quant and verbal split?
Good Luck!

Hello MichelKesin,
Welcome to the GMAT Club. It is one of the great platforms to get information about the GMAT official test, Study plan, Section wise instructions, etc.
Learning is a continuous process, and it shines with practice.
Your current GMAT score is shaky. You can schedule a Free counseling(https://calendly.com/mathrevolution/1-on-1-session) session for 20 mins with one of our experts to have detailed advice on your current study plans.
A couple of things that can be a noticeable barrier to your scores would be some or all of the below.
• Not detailed knowledge of GMAT Math pattern and Question types
• Inefficiency by using time-consuming Conventional method to tackle DS and PS questions still
• No expert support (maybe) who can tutor, analyze, and guide you during your learning
• Lack of many updated questions and practice in the recent exam trend
• Not well aligned with time to solve questions.
Precisely, there has to be one end-to-end solution encompassing all the points mentioned above. We also want to understand your approach to solving PS and DS questions. You can try our free diagnostic test https://www.mathrevolution.com/diagnostic/dtExamMember and receive a comprehensive study guide by topic. This test will clearly help you understand your weak areas.
The diagnostic test report will give us detailed insight into various topics and your performance. After an in-depth analysis, we will draw out the category of the topics in which you are already better and those where you need more improvement. Also, we will be able to compare your performance while solving the PS and DS questions.
Also, make a note of various possible combinations to achieve a score of 600+. The possible scores will help you track your performance after taking the mock or practice test. It will also help you maintain balance in both the sections, and you will always be in a great position to allot the study hours to a specific area accordingly.
We recommend that you learn the Variable Approach for solving DS questions and the IVY approach for solving PS questions to improve your accuracy and save time while solving the question types.
The most important thing for you will be learning and commanding the Variable Approach for DS questions and IVY Approach for PS questions. These approaches are the robust self-designed time-saving techniques that will help you learn efficiently, thus raising your score in the quick nick of time.
Register with MathRevolution https://www.mathrevolution.com/member/signup to get access to our 7-days on-demand course (27 topics, 490 subtopics, and 1,500 questions) for free trial lessons.
