Hey folks, new here and although plenty of people have shared similar scores I thought I would mine too, and hope for some advice.
An impossible hurdle to overcome, this may well be, but hey! worth a try?
To get started, here is the score breakdown
IR ---> 05 ---> 52
Q ---> 21 ---> 09
V ---> 27 ---> 43
T ---> 430 --> 17
Timeline
Time availability
Between now and test day a stretch of 90 hours. I work full time (average 10hrs) and travelling for work for a week. The most I have is two weekends (6-10 hrs a day) and weekdays (2-4hrs - stretch to 6) not sure my brain can take that much.
Study Material available
Now this is something I have plenty access to (which actually may be counter productive)
Any ideas what my approach should be for the next two weeks? Delaying the exam is not an option unfortunately unless I decide to pass up the opportunity I have right now for getting into an EMBA program. Quant I fear the most, Verbal I feel I could tackle (though the scores above say otherwise)
Many thanks and sorry for the long-winded post.

Timeline
- - Started preparing 4 weeks ago. Only managed to complete the first 9 chapters of Manhattan Foundations of GMAT Math
- Did the GMATPrep Practice Exam 1 yesterday
- Must sit the GMAT or EA w/c 9 May (yes that is two weeks) and I know it is impossible to add 200-250 in two weeks!

Study Material available
Now this is something I have plenty access to (which actually may be counter productive)
- - Full MGMAT suite of books
- OG + OG Quant + OG Verbal. Considering getting additional GMATPrep exams
- Magoosh Premium
- Access to prep classes but yet to figure out how best to exploit this option

Hi sz002,
Although you didn't explicitly state your score goal, you seem to understand that it is unrealistic given your timeframe. It's important to define the details and the 'big picture' goals, so that you can ultimately achieve them (even if it's not in 2 weeks).
1) What is your goal score?
2) What score do you 'think' you need to get into this EMBA Program? And why do you think that that score is what you need?
3) What is the application deadline for that Program?
4) If you don't hit that score in 2 weeks, then how will your plans change? Will you apply to the same Program later on?

Hi Rich,
Thanks for taking the time to respond. To answer your specific questions
1) 630 to 660
2) 650 upwards based on conversations with ADCOM and some alum
3) Application Submission 7th May. GMAT (or EA) submission by 13th latest. I can 'possibly' get a weeks extension but that would really be pushing it
4) This is perhaps the single best chance I have given the circumstances - time commitment, funding and also my employment circumstances. I could 'try' next year, however, will likely struggle to align the above stated ducks. Happy to provide more detail via PM's.
P.S Thanks for moving the post to the correct home.
