Hi,
I am in my 2nd year of uni in the UK and am considering applying for a deferred entry to HBS/GSB/Wharton/LBS when I get to my last year of study (2021/22). I have a year abroad coming up and am weak at tests so thought I could benefit with using the year to practice GMAT as I am s**t at standardised tests.
I just gave the veritas GMAT test a go to see how I would do and got 480 (Q33,V24).
Given the fact I have not studied, do you think studying say 2 hours a day over the course of the next year will put me in good stead to cross the 700 threshold? Is 480 on the low end for a blind test?
Thank you

Hi conradgorton,
Studying for the GMAT far in advance of when you'll actually "need" your Score is a really smart choice! In addition, you appear to have given yourself lots of potential study time - which is great!
Many Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores, but it's not clear what YOUR commitment will be to your studies once you begin. The 700+ Score is a bit shy of the 90th percentile - so most GMATers clearly never score that high (regardless of how long they study), so if you're thinking about just reading through some books and working through lots of practice questions, then there would likely be a limit to how much you could improve with that type of approach (even over the course of a year). With a more structured Study Plan that focused on the proper mix of content and Tactics, then you could potentially improve a great deal though. A 480 is a decent initial CAT score (the average score on the Official GMAT hovers around 550 most years) - and the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Exam, so you CAN train to score at a higher level.
1) When would you be looking to begin your studies?

First of all , I would suggest don't rely on any other GMAT test except official test . The first 2 test are free and you can give one to analyze where you stand.
Second, just read below thread it will help a lot.
