Hi, this is my first post on GMAtclub!
So, Im planning on taking the GMAT around Feb/Mar and since by undergrad GPA is not that good, I really want to score high on the GMAT and make the other components of my application attractive. I am an Economics major and I plan on doing an MSF after graduation. My target schools are; Texas A&M, SMU, Purdue, Rutgers, and Syracuse.
Now what I want help with is on how to start studying for the GMAT? How many topics should I do daily and when I should take practice tests? The thing is I was always good in math and got 92 percentile on my SAT math section, but for some reason when I did some practice questions on the forums here, I was shocked on how I barely could answer even the sub 600 level questions. Also I am not very good at the verbal section but I think I can improve that by learning strategies and concepts.
I would really appreciate if someone could help me with this problem. (also I plan on doing quantitative section for first couple months and then 3/2 months before the exam start studying everything)

Hi hamzaali2898,
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) What is your goal score?
2) Since it sounds like you'll be studying for the GMAT while you're still in your Undergraduate Program, how many hours do you think you will be able to consistently study for the GMAT each week?
