Scoring a 720 on the GMAT - my dream come true.
I knew one thing for sure, getting a high score on the GMAT meant that I would develop myself holistically because of the grit and determination required.
Aiming for a 700+ demanded discipline, stress reduction, self-motivation, and keeping the goal in sight. It would also help with revising math fundamentals that would be essential not only to get into an MBA program but also to keep me on top of my game for the rest of my career. I realized that the Critical Reasoning section would elevate my analytical thinking skills and the Sentence Correction section would better my English writing skills. All in all, GMAT seemed the perfect recipe to develop myself professionally as well as personally.
Although the end game was to get into a top Business school, I knew that if I could not crack the 700 barrier, I wouldn't have the confidence I needed to do my MBA from a top school. Also, a lesser score meant that my chances of being considered for such a program were low since I represent a broad candidature pool as an Indian Engineer. Finally, achieving a 720 with a 50 in quant has been surreal! It has given me the courage and the strength required to take on more formidable challenges in life. My advice for anyone planning to take the GMAT is to view it as an opportunity to transform your life in more ways than you could count.
I took the GMAT online on the 1st of September and received my score today. The screen showed me a 720 Q50 V38. I am elated! It has been a rather long and arduous journey and I am excited about my score. I had taken the GMAT 6 months back and scored a 600.
My most important piece of advice to any GMAT aspirant is to not put GMAT on a pedestal. If you stress about the end-goal, it will keep you from doing your best.
In the last month, my GMAT prep scores were 720, 690, and 680. Veritas tests were great for practice and my verbal scores were consistent and similar to my GMAT prep mocks; however, my quant scores fluctuated a lot and I scored in the range of 600 - 690. I started taking GMAT club quant tests the last 3 weeks before my exam and scored an average of 42. I was disappointed because in GMAT prep mocks I scored 48-49. In my opinion, GMAT club tests are great for practice and to get your fundamentals straight, but take the score with a grain of salt.
My shout out to Target test prep. TTP helped me improve from around Q38 to a Q47, after which I practiced a lot from the GMAT Club forum. I believe that TTP can easily help anyone cross the 47 barrier in quant.
For verbal, I used Manhattan SC for SC, CR Bible for CR and as for RC, I religiously practiced the dense LSAT passages on the GMAT Club forum.
I have written a detailed debrief describing my preparation for each section: https://gmatclub.com/forum/how-i-got-to ... l#p2611820
This is my first debrief and I have barely slept since I got my result at 3 am and have no intention of sleeping for a while because I've to celebrate my score. I will continue to update this post in the coming days.
Special thanks to the GMAT club founders for creating such a great platform!

Thanks a lot Scott! Thank you for creating TTP. If not for TTP, I would never have crossed 47,leave alone, get a 50 in quant. Thanks to you and Jeff.
