I have 550 in offical practise test;What to be final stroke to increase your marks in before 20 days of exam


Sent from my iPhone using GMAT Club Forum mobile app

Hi Veerbhdra,

Given how close your GMAT date is, I personally do not think one should adopt any new method on the final leg of their GMAT Preparation. It may be nice to give a couple of mocks (the official ones) and work on your weaknesses, but trying something new might not work in anyone’s favor. However if you want to improve on any individual area such as Sentence Correction, you may subscribe to the course as you can finish the whole course in 10 days (with proper dedication). If however you are only looking to indentify and improve on your weak areas, I would encourage you to purchase the e-gmat scholaranium. It is without a doubt, one of the best practice tools for verbal and will indeed help you on the final leg of your preparations.

Hope this helps. All the best.

Hi Veerbhdra,

About 4 weeks ago, you posted that you had scored 500 on a practice CAT, but you didn't provide any follow-up information. Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) How long have you studied?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) How have you scored on EACH of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?

Goals:
4) Is your Score Goal still 650 or is it something else?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
6) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

Rich

Hi,

Firstly, you must tell what is your target score. 20 days are enough only to reach 600 or 620, and not more than that. Please note that 550 is a very mediocre score. Every step ahead from here is a time consuming activity, and as the level increases it becomes difficult to improve. IMO only thing you can do is to focus more on PS and SC. These two are easiest to improve quickly.

Hi Veerbhdra,

GMAC has publicly stated that the Official Score that you earn on Test Day is within +/- 30 points of actual ability. Assuming a similar 'swing' in how your CATs function, these 2 CAT score results show that you essentially performed the same each time (about 530 +/- a few points). From your post, it's not clear whether you've taken just 2 CATs or more than 2 - but if you have taken additional CATs that also fall in this general score 'range', then it's possible that you have gotten 'stuck' at this particular score level. Raising a 550 to a 650+ will likely require at least another 2 months of consistent, guided study - and you'll have to make significant improvements to how you handle BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections.

1) What is the exact application deadline(s) for the School(s) that you plan to apply to?
2) What is the NEXT application deadline after that?
3) Going forward, how many hours do you think you can consistently study each week?

At this stage, one of the most important things to do is to ensure that you have a good timing strategy in place. Pacing yourself well will help you reduce the number of errors due to time pressure.
