I am aiming for a 760+ score, I'll be getting an online program to help me study methodically and thoroughly. My goal is top b-schools.
English is my second language. Math is a forte (actual calculations) but I have several problems with the wording of the problems, to turn them into actual math which make me falter or flat out crumble. I believe I have a very strong logic base but even then I do quite bad on verbal online tests (I've only done the quick 10 question ones, but almost always get at most 1, maybe 2 right; sometimes even 0).
For studying I currently have:
Full OG 2021 + 1 year access on Wiley App
OG 2021 Advanced Questions
Full 6th Edition 0-9 Manhattan Guides
7th Edition Foundations of Math MGMAT
7th Edition Foundations of Verbal MGMAT
7th Edition Advanced Quant MGMAT
GMAT 13 Edition Review (was a gift, not really in use if not needed)
I don't have the investment for private tutoring, so I'm trying to decide amongst a few options:
1) Full e-gmat online course or maybe empowergmat, so that I can do both quant and verbal on only one platform; and complement with the books that I already have in case there is something that is not covered on the sites (which I hope is not the case).
2) E-gmat for verbal (which is their strong suit from what I've read) + Target Test Prep TTP for quant since they're a specialized platform which gives me a kind of comfort to know that they MUST be the best in quant.
3) E-gmat for verbal (which is their strong suit from what I've read) + Math Revolution for quant also.
Current Mock Score is Q26 - V20 (It has to improve a lot for my goals, but my resolve is through the roof for sure).
Would you please give me your personal recommendations on the subject, If you have actually lived the platforms even better. If you have any other study plan recommendations or platform combinations, they'd be really appreciated.
And thank you to GMAT club for this space. Beautiful.

Hi laguil,
Many GMATers are unhappy with their initial practice scores, but you really shouldn't be. That first CAT result is just a measure of your skills right now - and you'll improve on that result over time as you learn more about the content, Tactics and little 'secrets' of the Exam. That having been said, you will have to commit to a consistent, guided study routine and hone some really specific Quant and Verbal skills to consistently score at a high level.
As an aside, the 750+ score is approximately the 98th percentile - so clearly most GMATers never score that high on the Official Exam. Thankfully, NO Business School actually requires that you earn a score that high - so it's important to realize that the score that you "want" and the score that you "need" are not the same thing.
I also want to reiterate that since you are interested in applying to some highly-competitive Schools, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile and plans. Those Experts should be able to answer your Admissions questions and help define the specific areas of your profile that could use some improvement. There's a Forum full of those Experts here:
https://gmatclub.com/forum/ask-admissio ... tants-124/
As far as GMAT Courses are concerned, most GMAT Companies offer some type of free materials (practice problems, Trial Accounts, videos, etc.) that you can use to 'test out' a product before you buy it. We have a variety of those resources at our website (www.empowergmat.com). I suggest that you take advantage of all of them, then choose the one that best matches your personality, timeline and budget.
1) When are you planning to apply to Business School? If it's sometime soon, then what specific application deadlines are you facing?
2) Going forward, how many hours do you think you can consistently study each week?

Hi Alfie,
Before choosing an online course, I would recommend you to check the free trial of the course and then decide. Because what suited another person might not suit you. You have to make sure that you choose the course which addresses your requirements.
You can go through this blog to understand the key factors to consider while evaluating the right course.
Having said that, if you are open to suggestions, I would suggest you to check the free trial of GMATWhiz.
- It is an application driven course which employs methodical way of teaching concepts.
- It is a personalized and adaptive course - provides a personalized study plan based on your requirements and adapts itself by providing you real time improvement modules to help you work on your weaker areas.
- The personal mentoring we provide will help you stay right on the track and will help you focus on the right areas.
There are many more exciting features which you can experience by checking out in the free trial. I would recommend you to take a decision only after checking the free trial. Meanwhile, if you need any help regarding the study strategy, you can get in touch with me using the below link.
