So it looks like most 700+ scores come after approximately 100 hours of study. I am going to have close to 3 weeks of free time, during which I am going to try and get my 100 hours in. Does the length of time it takes to reach 100 hours have a significant effect on scores? (Over 3 weeks vs over 3 months?) 2 of the weeks will be consecutive and the last week would be 1 or 2 weeks after the second week of study.
When I took the GmatPrep exam I scored a 570 without studying.. I'm shooting for 730+. I have the MGMAT books, the OG12, OG Verbal, and OG Quant. I have been through the number properties book once, but I haven't mastered it all yet. That's all I've done in terms of preparing so far.
Is my goal possible? Is it feasible?
Thanks!

Amount of weeks is definitely important b/c it takes a long time for topics to sit. Also, it is extremely challenging to study more than 3-4 hours in one day. After that amount of time, your return on studying drops off. Also, if you go for 8 or more hours a day for days on end, you could easily burn out... I personally started with a 570 (absolutely NO studying) and ended with a 710. I work a full time job and studied for about 200 hours over 9 weeks.
Although this is not always the case, it is quite ambitious to want a 160+ point increase in 3 weeks. A 730 is the 96th percentile, and think about the talent you are competing against. You are trying to improve from a 58th percentile to the 96th...
Are you in a rush to apply? or just a rush to take the GMAT? It is generally suggested that you study over a 2-3 month period to reach your peak potential. I would not suggest that you rush the GMAT if you dont have to. Are you planning on applying Round 3? This is also a risk b/c round 3 is generally more competative. If you have more time, it might be worth spreading out your studying.
All that being said, there are numerous stories of large increases in a short amount of time. I would definitely say its the exception and not the rule, but you might be the right person to do it. I wish you the best of luck. Let us know how it goes! Good luck
