Let me begin by giving a brief introduction about myself.
I’m a 23 yr old MiM aspirant from India.
I did my bachelor's in Engineering from a top 5 private institution in the country (Official Government Rankings - NIRF)
Graduated with a CGPA of 8.55/10 last year (June 2021), which translates to about 3.49/4 (Relative to class topper’s CGPA)
Have been working in IT since then so about 13-14 months of work XP under my belt.
I started preparing for GMAT in January but didn’t study consistently, and had difficulty managing everything with my job.
Didn't properly solve the official guides
Gave two free egmat sigma-x mocks and scored 610 and 630 respectively.
But my biggest blunder, by far - I did NOT write the official GMAC mock tests. I know i should have and i deeply regret not writing the 2 free official mocks now. Probably the dumbest person on GMATClub.
Managed to get 660 on my first attempt (Sep 12, 2022).
65 percentile in Quants (Q48)
69 percentile in Verbal (V34).
IR score is 5.
---------------------------------------------------------
Edit - I got an Enhanced Score Report
Verbal ---
Quants ---
---------------------------------------------------------
I want to target multiple MiM programs, as many as I possibly can.
Dream schools -
Other Schools I wish to apply to -
My strategy is to apply to a tonne of schools and then see how many admits I can secure.
It probably seems like a stupid strategy, but I won't be eligible for MiM next year.
I also do not want to wait for another 4-5 years to apply for MBA.
Also, I might only be able to apply to 70% of these schools.
------------------------------------------------------------
Now I want to break the V40 barrier and get Q50.
720+ is what I hope for, in fact, it's what I desperately need.
And now I'm going to write a lot of mocks, including 4 official ones.
I have about 40 days now until my 2nd attempt (Oct 28, 2022).
I am more than willing to do whatever is required to achieve my target score.
Study plans, tips, advice, anything is welcome. Be brutally honest if you can.

It seems that you are passing a hard time to get a marvelous score.
V40 is not easy task, but you can do it by using perfect materials and exercise. What materials do you use so far? On which areaare you’re weak?
For verbal you can watch few videos from “thursdays with ron” and “gmatNinja” videos. They are more than enough.
You can read experts posts or the best kudos posts from gmatclub, bestthegmat, and manhattanprep gmat forum. They’re more than enough i guess.
For quant, you can exercise from gmatclub “search tag”. Thanks 🙏
