Is it possible to score 740+?

Question

Hello 
Its May30.
I need to apply to schools that have application deadlines start of September.

Is it possible to actually raise my score to 740+ in 2 months?
and apply for the schools before the deadlines?

I am feeling alot of anxiety and stress. And I am wasting all the time I have on hands.
Please any comments and suggestions on what to do is all I need.

I think that raising your score by 200 points is unrealistic. I'm sorry to say this but there are definitely Q and V concepts that you need to understand better. Now a split of quant and verbal score is useful here to determine the weaker of the 2 areas but having said that you would have to significantly improve both Q and V scores.

I think you need to achieve an intermediate goal. First, try to aim to getting at least 640 in 2 gmat prep exams and then start planning to cross the 700 point barrier and then finally the 740 mark. But to say that you want to improve by 200 points in 2 months is too optimistic.

Hi 
although it is very hard to improve your score 200 points in short time span but nothing is impossible.
GMAT is a game of well plan and timely execution.
Please share your score breakup. Then only anyone would be able to suggest you on which topic you should concentrate.

Thanks

Hi bringachange,

Raising a 560 to a 740 will require some serious work - and you'll have to make significant improvements to how you handle BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections. Learning, practicing and mastering all of the necessary content and Tactics will take time though - and 2 months will probably not be enough time. In all likelihood, you would need at least 3 months of consistent, guided study to get to that level. That schedule would take you through the end of August (or later), so if you were planning to apply for Round 1, then you would likely have to work on your applications while you were still studying for the GMAT. There's nothing inherently 'wrong' with that though, so this whole process now comes down to being efficient with everything that needs to get done. You have to keep your REAL goal in mind - to get into your first-choice Business School. It's likely that you don't actually need a 740+ to do that; it's also possible that you could apply for Round 2 and be just fine.

If you have any additional questions, then you can feel free to contact me directly.
