At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

Hello Everone,
Today I started my journey to give GMAT 2.5 months from now. Currently, I only have access to the premium plan of Magoosh.
Is that enough, or should I buy the OG (Official Guide) as well?
My target score is 700+, and I have strong quants (Maths).

Overall I think Magoosh is good enough to help you achieve 700+ score if your Quant is already on a better side. Focus more on practicing than theory. For verbal you can refer to egmat videos. They are also pretty good.
Thanks

Hi Raghav21oct,
To start, the 700+ Score is approximately the 90th percentile - so clearly most people will not Score that high when they take the Official GMAT. By extension, no GMAT product can "guarantee" you that type of result. That having been said, the Official Guide is a fantastic source for realistic practice questions - and the relatively low price and convenience of the book make it a resource worth having. As an aside, many Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores, so if your studies are going to be limited to 2.5 months, then there might be a limit to how much you improve in that time.
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 discuss the results.
I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline and goals:
1) Going forward, how many hours do you think you can consistently study each week?
2) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
