Hello farhadhossain,

GMAT Club is one of the great platforms to get information about the GMAT official test, Study plan, Section wise instructions, etc.

To assist you better, we would request you to write back with the following questions:

1. What are your current score and target score? (You can mention the Diagnostic test score also)
2. How do you rate yourself in Quant and Verbal?

In a generalized way, to crack GMAT, you need a disciplined study plan, command on basic concepts, exposure to agile approaches, reliable resources, updated comprehensive material and mock tests, and an expert with whom you will be connected throughout your preparations.

The official GMAT exam will test the candidate’s ability to manage time, handle pressure, apply the learned concept, and score better. GMAT is not as easy as we assume. GMAT math is logic, rather than general math skill, and verbal is a real language test and a logic skill test of an individual.

As a GMAT instructor, I will recommend taking our Free diagnostic test https://www.mathrevolution.com/diagnostic/dtExamMember and receiving a comprehensive study guide by topic. This test will clearly help you understand your weak areas and also will clarify what plan you should adopt to beat the GMAT. An initial mock rating will help to understand your concept knowledge of both sections.

Time is precious and unstoppable at the same time. You can schedule a free counseling session for 20 mins with one of our experts: https://calendly.com/mathrevolution/1-on-1-session for detailed advice on your study plans.

Since we are a math expert, we will recommend you go through our post on the GMAT club, which gives a complete breakdown of Math. Breakdown of GMAT math questions and types: https://gmatclub.com/forum/overview-of- ... l#p1641411

We appreciate your time and patience in reading this reply.

Should you need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us at info@mathrevolution.com

Success is within your reach.
Good luck!

Hi farhadhossain,

Many GMATers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores, but with a planned Test Date in the 2nd week of August, you would have just 6 week of study time. As such, you might want to consider pushing back your Test Date.

From what you describe, it is not clear whether you actually took a proper practice CAT/mock:

-Did the Exam include the Essay and IR sections?
-Was the Quant section 31 questions (with 62 minutes for that section) - and was the Verbal section 36 questions (with 65 minutes for that section)?

If the answer to all of those questions is YES, then what was your Overall Score (out of 800) and what were your Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores?

From what you describe, your immediate study plan is 'book heavy'; unfortunately, many Test Takers who study in that way end up getting 'stuck' at a particular score level. There's no harm in starting off your studies in that fashion, but you'll likely end up needing to invest in some additional, non-book resources at some point.

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