I took this test in order to get a lower-limit benchmark. The test was too demanding, had to take some breaks (more than allowed in a real GMAT test), especially in verbal questions.
I was really shocked at the Reading Comprehensions where the subject was too bizarre, I am usually good at those in my high school level but these were really demanding. I had to skip AWA and IR just because I was too tired.
Scored Q32 and V17
Total Score: 420
Target: 700+
Looking for one-stop online resources to cover up these gaps in Quant and Verbal. I am an average student with English as a second language and I've never been great at math.
A little bit about my background:
- Technical professional working 9-6 jobs
- Can spend around 2/3 hours on weekdays and around 4/5 hours on weekends for learning
- Have purchased OG 2021
- Looking for the right courses to opt for to achieve a 700+ score
- Thinking of giving the GMAT by end of July 2021
I was suggested
Magoosh for Quant and
e-GMAT for Verbal
- Are they a good option for the level of scores I have received ? On a separate note, is there anything better for my score profile ?
Some people have also suggested empowerGMAT, but I am totally confused on what would be best for "me".
Hi proxyshy,
The key to score well on GMAT is to do the prep in the right way. A lot of students do not do that properly and as a result struggle with the prep. You can go through this
article to understand the right way to strategize your prep.
And I would suggest you to spend some time in analyzing the free trials of the online courses. Do a proper research, know in an out of them and choose the one which suits you the most. Having said that, there are a few parameters which you should keep in mind while evaluating the courses. You can go through this

few key factors that you should keep in mind while evaluating the online courses.
Having said that, as you are a working professional, you would want to choose an online course which can help you with a study plan. Because if you are clear of what to study on any given day, it makes life easier for you.
But a person who can spend 4 hours a day for studies cannot have the same study plan as a person who can spend just 2 hours a day. So, the study plan has to be personalized, that is, the study plan has to be according to the number of hours one can dedicate for studies. So, I would suggest you to check out the free trial of
GMATWhiz and the personalized study plan it provides. And if you wish to have a detailed discussion regarding the study strategy, you can get in touch with me using the below link.
