Hi, I didn't do any formal preparations for the GMAT. I just gave the practice test to gauge my preparations. So, I have not used any materials till now.

I don't have any target colleges and timeline.

Hi PankajPrasad,

If you are not facing any upcoming application deadlines, then that's great (re: you can focus on locking-in a strong GMAT Score and then work on your applications later on)! Is there a particular reason why you're trying to limit your studies to just 2 months? And how much time do you think you could consistently spend on your studies each week going forward?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

I gave my first GMAT practice test and scored 590 (V25, Q47). Is the score good or bad for an absolute beginner?
I am targetting more than 720 within 2 months? Is it possible?
Hi PankajPrasad,

1. The average GMAT score is around 580, so you're most likely already at a level higher than that.

2. It's possible, but no one on this forum can know whether it's possible for a specific individual.

I started at 590 in 2017 on practice test and got to a 780 on my practice test #6 (official) in 2 years.

And then I got 80+ clients in top schools along with me.


YES, IT IS POSSIBLE. PUSH IT.

Hi Pankaj.

590 is a good starting score, and if you took that test completely cold, then your true starting point is likely above 600.

So, you may be able to get to 720+ in two months, though three months would be a more typical timeframe.

Since you have a lot of room for improvement in your Verbal score, you could read this post to learn how best to prepare for GMAT Verbal.

Hi PankajPrasad,

590 with Q47 is a great start! I see Marty provided some advice on how to improve your verbal score, so for sure, follow that!
