Study plan

I started preparation in december. Prep materials are gmat og ,verbal,quant,and manhattan strategy guides. Only attended one cat last week, and scored 610 . My target score is 720. Since i am not working now . Daily schedules are preferred

Hi svishnu1994gmailcom,

I'd like to know a bit more about how you took this CAT:

1) What were the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores?
2) Did you take the ENTIRE CAT (including the Essay and IR sections)?
3) Did you take it at home?
4) Did you take it at the same time of day as your Official GMAT?
5) Did you do ANYTHING during this CAT that you couldn't do on Test Day (pause the CAT, skip sections, take longer breaks, etc.)?
6) Did you ever take this CAT before? Had you seen any of the questions BEFORE?

Raising a 610 to a 720+ in one month might be too difficult of a goal to be considered realistic. You will likely need at least another 2 months of consistent, guided study to get up to that level. As such, you might want to consider pushing back your Test Date.

Hi svishnu1994gmailcom,

Test Day is a rather specific 'event' - the details are specific and they matter, so you have to train as best as you can for all of them. The more realistic you can make your CATs, the more likely the score results are to be accurate. The more you deviate, the more "inflated" your scores can become - and that's likely what happened here. By skipping sections and taking the CAT at home you have not properly 'mirrored' what you'll experience when you take the Official GMAT. From now on, you should plan to take your CATs in a more realistic fashion (by taking the FULL CAT - with the Essay and IR sections, away from your home, at the same time of day as your Official GMAT, etc.).

You didn't answer all of my questions - and those additional answers will impact the ultimate advice that I'll end up giving you. Given your score goal, you should plan for a longer study period.
