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.

Hi All, I am planning on retaking the GMAT in a month or two for recruiting purposes. I got into the schools that I wanted, but I am now worried about GMAT cutoffs. I would like to add around 50 points to my score and don't care about IR or AWA. My current score is a 650 and would like to get it over 700, just to make sure there is nothing holding me back from breaking into investment banking. I believe my original Quant score was 42 and my Verbal score was 38.
My plan is as follows:
Monday through Thursday (1.5-3 hrs each day, including my commute)
15-20 practice problems each day. Review them thoroughly by going over the problem and making flash cards. I will be reviewing these flash cards each day during my commute to work.
Saturday & Sunday (3-4 hrs each day)
30-40 practice problems each day. Review them thoroughly by going over the problem and making flash cards.
I will use Sundays for practice tests, talking one every other week (total 3-4 before the actual test).
I plan to do this for 1.5 - 2 months. My goal is to study for 10-15 hrs each week. 15 hrs would be weeks that I take a practice test. I will be skipping the IR and AWA sections because they will not help me. I scored high in those on my original test and don't need them for recruiting. I just want a 700.
Any advice on my current plan would be very helpful! Also, does my goal sound reasonable in that time period?
Thanks!

Hi dpatt,
Given your "recruiting-based" goal, you're likely going to need to score at a much higher level in the Quant section than you did on your previous Official GMAT to achieve what you're planning for. With a Q42, you were likely pretty good at many of the "math" questions that you faced in the Quant section, but you made some little mistakes as you worked through the section AND you missed out on LOTS of 'strategy-based' points.
I'd like to know a bit more about how you studied:
1) When did you take the GMAT?
2) How long did you study?
3) What materials did you use?
