Question

Hi Experts,

I wrote GMAT on 25th July 200 and scored 610(Q46, V28). In mock tests, my score was always around 570-610. I feel stuck around this score. I am planning to take exam again on 5th October 2022.
Please suggest the strategy(e.g.- study hours section wise, mock strategy, which test series etc.) I should follow to score >700 score this time.

Thanks & Regards,
Bhavya Jha

This person improved within a month . Went from a 680 (V31) to a 740 (V40). Quant was a Q50 on both attempts. Post mentions a variety of tips and resources you may want to check out.

So, the real concern that I see is with verbal. Can you tell me what you have been doing to prepare for GMAT verbal?

In the meantime, here is a helpful article:

Hi Bhavya,

Many GMATers do end up getting 'stuck' at a particular Score level - so you are not alone. It's possible that you developed some 'bad habits' during your earlier studies that kept you from scoring higher, but thankfully the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Exam - so you CAN train to score at a higher level.

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 in total? How many hours did you typically study each week - and what type of study routine have you been following over the last 5 weeks (since you took your Official GMAT)?
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)?
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

If you took your Official GMAT at a Test Center, then you might also choose to purchase the Enhanced Score Report. While the ESR doesn’t provide a lot of information, there are usually a few data points that we can use to define what went wrong on Test Day (and what you should work on to score higher). If you purchase the ESR, then I'll be happy to analyze it for you.

Hi Bhavya, Verbal is obviously a bigger problem. How have you been studying? Which section in Verbal is your weakest?
