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.

Tejas studied hard but kept repeating the same mistakes. After 3 attempts at 645, a focused 4-week strategy helped him identify and fix what was holding him back—leading to a 695 with just 12–15 hours of study per week.

Hi guys
I'm reaching out for some advice. On December 28th, I took my first GMAT practice test without opening any books to see where I stood, and I scored 34 in Quant and 12 in Verbal. (390) However, the low Verbal score was due to timing issues. I started studying with the goal of reaching at least 600. Today, after about three weeks of preparation, I took my second practice test and scored 500 (35Q, 25V). Unfortunately, I faced timing challenges again and had to guess on the last 3 Verbal questions. I feel a bit demoralized, especially in the Quant section where the questions, despite my practice, seemed tougher than the previous attempt.
The final date for the classic GMAT is January 31st, and I'm unsure whether to continue preparing for it and give it a shot or switch to the GMAT Focus for more time. As a non-native English speaker, I perform better in Sentence Correction (SC) due to its more mechanical nature compared to Critical Reasoning (CR) and Reading Comprehension (RC), where my performance heavily relies on my understanding of the terms in the question. In Verbal, timing is my major challenge, while in Quant, nervousness hinders me from approaching questions with the same ease and method as in practice exercises.
Do you have any advice? Do you think it makes sense to continue preparing for the classic GMAT by January 31st, or should I start directly with the Focus version? Thanks.

Hi Gaiagmat.
That increase from 390 to 500 in a few weeks is great progress. So, there's no reason to be demoralized. All that's going on is that it typically takes more than three weeks, and more like three months, to prepare for the GMAT.
So, you should switch to the Focus Edition and plan to prepare for longer than another 10 days to achieve your target score.

For RC, becoming familiar with how inference questions work could be helpful. For CR, Manhattan-Prep's 6th Edition for Critical Reasoning may be worth checking out. For time management, question/time markers may be useful as well. If you feel your fundamentals are solid, consider working on your solving approach. May boost your score a bit. Had a student for example who went from a V31 to a V40 in about 30 days. Perhaps include working with a study buddy who is strong in areas you find slippery (i.e. CR) and is looking for help in areas you're strong on. There's a study buddy thread on gmatclub you could have a look at.

in terms of course and preparation there is no major difference between two tests .. if your basics are solid then just practise questions daily from official sources or from GC forum and give mocks ...
