With zero preparation, I gave GMAT demo test and scored 270. With this low score, should I practice further to aim for admissions in the year 2017 or should I defer and aim for for 2018 ?

Dear simmi13,

I'm happy to respond. :-)

My friend, I think it would be wise to give yourself the extra year. Deep learning is not necessarily an efficient process, because in involves spiraling through topics again and again at deeper levels each time, so that you develop a layered and nuance comprehension.

I would suggest reading this blog right away:
How to Improve Your GMAT Verbal Score
Here are some GMAT flashcards that you should start practicing.

After you build your basic skills, here's a six-month study plan you can follow:
6 Month GMAT Study Schedule

I don't know whether you have already taken TOEFL, but if you are studying for both TOEFL and GMAT, talk to Magoosh: the Magoosh Help folks might give you a deal on buying both prep products at once.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Mike :-)
