I posted back in 02/19 that I had made a 430 on my 1st practice GMAT test back in 05/18.
I took the test cold and I pretty much put if off for all of 2018. At the beginning of this year, I decided, it was time to really start studying.
I knew that my weakest point was my math. I began with the Foundations of Math prep book from
Manhattan prep and I've been consistently putting
in 8 hours weekly for the month a half. I'm very close to being done with the book.
So I began to plan for the next step.
I want to take the exam in either October or November.
My original plan was to study 8 hours a week, but after doing research I was told I was going to need more.
So I looked into the
Manhattan prep and also one of their private tutors.
I will start the class on 04/15/19. I now plan on increasing my studying time to 13 hours.. 3 in class and 10 by myself.
I'm hoping that the tutor will help me with my weaknesses and more than anything give me directions on what to study.
I feel that the most important thing is to not study for the sake of studying but to do it efficiently.
So if for the next 20 weeks, I take the class twice(if needed) and dedicate 13 hours a week, plus a private tutor.
Is it realistic to think that I can boost my 430 to a 700?
I want to get into the University of Oklahoma and their last class GMAT average was a 610.
The 700 is more of a personal goal and I'm also hoping to get money in scholarships for a high score.
Thanks to anyone taking the time to read and answer my question. I promise once I get a better understanding of the test and I see what works for myself
I will start contributing to the newbies. I feel that I don't know enough to give other people advice at this point.
