Timeline require to grow from 270 to 650 ? [#permalink] New post   14 Aug 2016, 16:07
With zero preparation, I gave GMAT demo test and scored 270. With this low score, should I practice further to aim for admissions in the year 2017 or should I defer and aim for for 2018 ?

Hello,

Before I can give much advice, what type of practice test was it? Do you have a breakdown of verbal and quantitative scores?

best,

Dear Paidlukkha,

did you prepare yourself for the test?
No, gave the demo test with zero preperation to see where I stand.

was it a continuous one with 2 - 8 mins breaks?
Took several breaks in between

your background?
I am a management graduate with average academic background. Graduated in 2010 and is working as a recruiter hiring for International market.

With this background and score, should I still be aiming for 2017 or defer it for 2018 ?

Hi simmi13,

You posted this in another online Forum, so I've copied over my response from there:

Unfortunately, there's no way to know exactly how much time will be required for you to hit your score goal. If you can commit to a consistent study routine for the next several months though, then you'll certainly be putting yourself in a position to succeed. Given the type of increase that you're looking for, you would likely benefit a great deal by investing in a GMAT Course of some type (either Guided Self-Study or instructor-led).

1) Do you have any GMAT study materials yet?

I am going to concur with Rich that your best bet is probably to enroll in some type of course. Given your quant score, I would start with elementary review. Were you aware of how the questions work? (Especially the Data Sufficiency can be difficult if you do not have experience with them. As others have said, there is no way to have an idea, it all depends on how fast of a learner you are.

best of luck in your studies
