Hello all,
I'm really excited to be part of the GMAT Club. As a part of my career aspirations, I started preparing for GMAT and gave my first mock after taking live sessions from the GMAT Prep company. But still, I got 450.
Some are suggesting me to Leave Job and prepare and some are suggesting not to leave Job. I'm confused will you please guide me with your valuable input?

Apart from that what are the best resources/ Prep. company for Preparing GMAT for an average student like me. I also need to build solid foundations on the best-suggested resources for that. Will you please suggest the same?

I would not quit your job to prepare for the GMAT. Here is a great video that addresses that:

Person below started with a 420 mock and ended up with a balanced 730. May be some quick tips/resources in the post you can check out. The gmatclub study plan post may be helpful to look at as well.

Hi RamaChiranjeevi,

Many GMATers find at least some part of the GMAT to be challenging - so you are not alone. Thankfully, the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Exam, so you CAN train to score at a higher level. In addition, you do NOT need to quit your job to study full-time; you just need to better plan your overall schedule out so that you have enough time to commit to your studies.

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:

Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) On what dates (or approximate 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)?

Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich
