Learn how Kamakshi achieved a GMAT 675 with an impressive 96th %ile in Data Insights. Discover the unique methods and exam strategies that helped her excel in DI along with other sections for a balanced and high score.
Aiming for a minimum of 700 score in the GMAT, need help in setting up a study plan. Currently going through MGMAT guides 5th edition. And I also own a OG 12th edition which i have not started studying yet. Am kind of good in learning math quickly but very poor in verbal. Am a home maker, so can dedicate atleast 4 to 5 hours of time daily for the preparation. Planning to give GMAT by mid June. My aim is to pursue MS in MIS in a good university. Have around 8 years of work experience in IT. Is the score 700 good enough to get admission into a good university? What are the top universities offering MS in MIS? Am a novice with very little knowledge. Any advice is most welcome.

We recommend focusing intensely on a particular subsection (e.g. SC, CR, or RC) before moving onto the next. This helps you minimize distractions with all the various types of questions and helps you maximize improvement/retention. So 5 intense days on SC -- followed by another 5 days for the next day and so on. When you feel comfortable, you can mix it up -- and then eventually test yourself with a practice test such as this one: www.gmatpill.com/gmat-practice-test/practice-test

Hi,
As you have mentioned that you are weak in verbal and for scoring a 700+ in GMAT, you have to have a good vocabulary to be able to understand the vocabulary in the GMAT CR and RC passages. However the RC passages require that you are able to understand the words used in the context of the passage. Hence it would be best if you start reading articles, science journals , business tabloids and read them online and figure out for yourself if you can understand the language and the main idea present in the passage. This would be a better way to tackle vocabulary on the GMAT.
For study plan, we would advise you to follow the steps below:
1. Start with a mock test. This will help you identify your strong and weak areas
2. If you plan to do self study, get your hands on the best preparatory material available in the market. Read one book thoroughly instead of 12 books. Trust the book you have chosen and follow the advice eked out from that book. Almost all books will deal with the important teaching points for scoring high on the GMAT hence reading too many books is a waste of time.
For best study material you can get some guidance here: https://blog.manyagroup.com/detail.html?authorid=59
3. Joining a coaching institute or an online study group is recommended because it gives structure to your preparation.
4. GMAT is about learning a few rules and perfecting a structured approach to the test which eventually helps one to get a good score. When you read your books please jot down the important points and apply them on the OG questions.
5. Do studying and test taking simultaneously. Keep doing a lot of tests and review your performance on a daily basis.
To get admission in top universities you need to target a score of 700+. You haven't mentioned the location from where you want to pursue your MS. Is it from India or abroad?
