I have 78 days left, have spent around 1 week to get to know GMAT and went through QA part of OG. I need 680-700. Please guide.

Hi Lizardking.

570 is a decent start.

Now, you need to master the GMAT by mastering one GMAT topic at a time.

To master a topic, you can first learn the concepts and strategies associated with the topic and then practice answering questions involving that topic until you get them correct consistently. Once you've mastered one topic, move on to the next one and do the same thing.

For detailed discussion of how to master GMAT quant and verbal, see these posts.

Hi Lizardking,
After mastering specific topic-related concepts, you can attempt topic-based easy, medium, and hard OG questions respectively.

Good Luck!

Hi Lizardking,

To start, a 570 is a solid initial CAT score (the Average Score on the Official GMAT hovers around 550 most years). With another 11 weeks of consistent, guided study, you could potentially improve a great deal - but you will need to learn and hone an number of different skills in both the Quant and Verbal sections before you will be able to consistently score in the 680+ range.

Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

1) Going forward, how many hours do you think you can typically study each week?
2) What study materials do you currently have access to? Was this first CAT one of the 6 Official CATs?
3) Are you planning to take the At-home GMAT or are you planning to take your GMAT at a Test Facility??
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
