Hi All,

I have started my preparation for GMAT,planning to give 1st attempt in July 2017. If I put in everyday 3 hours on a weekday (i am a working professional) and 10hours on weekends each day excluding coaching classes(3hrs). Is that enough to get a score of 760?

Hi Dhruv,

You have more than enough time to get to where you want to, but how much time you put in is not the only factor you need to consider. HOW you study also matters to a large extent. You'll need to take a mock to find out where you currently stand. You'll find that a large chunk of the difference between your mock score and target score can be overcome pretty quickly. While practicing, make sure you keep track of where you're going wrong. This helps a lot in the later stages of your prep. You'll be able to identify your weak areas and target them specifically.

The 99%le score in GMAT would require following things in action:

#1 - Figure out the weak areas.
#2 - Prepare your own strategy
#3 - Practice
#4 - CATs/Sectional mocks
#5 - Review (Keep an error log and keep on reviewing it so that you do not commit the same mistake again)
#6 - Stay motivated
#7 - Be confident
#8 - Consistency - Study every day (Without this its hard to get to the score)

P.S. - Research about the study material before picking any. It will save you time and save you from learning the concepts that are not tested in the exam.

Feel free to ask if you have more questions.

Happy Studying! All the best!
