Study Plan help

Hi Aldousari,

Since you need only a 450 on your actual GMAT, it’s quite possible that you are already close to that score. Thus, before determining the next steps, you should take an official GMAT practice exam to get a baseline score and see how far you are from your 450 goal score.

Once you complete the exam, please report back here, and I can provide some further advice.

Good luck!

Hi Aldousari,

Since it sounds like you're just beginning your studies, then it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test; you can take 2 for free at www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). If you want to do a little studying first, so that you can familiarize yourself with the basic content and question types, then that's okay - but you shouldn't wait too long to take that initial CAT. That score will give us a good sense of your natural strengths and weaknesses and will help provide a basis for comparison as you continue to study. A FULL CAT takes about 3.5 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have those scores, you should report back here and we can come up with a study plan.

I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline and goals:
1) When you say that you "need" a 450, does that mean that Score would guarantee you entry into a specific Business School Program? Or is that the minimum Score needed just to apply (meaning that you might actually "need" a higher Score than that)?
2) What is your exact Test Date?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
