Hello,
I would be giving my gmat tomorrow and I am pretty sure I am going to get a poor gmat score in the range of 450's.
I have a full time job, and I was under the impression that I would be able to prepare for a month and score 600+ in the gmat. I was wrong.
I got held up and I was unable to prepare and I have been preparing from the last 10 days on and off. I took a test from mba.com and scored a 440 and a 460.
I do not have an option to re-schedule my test now and I am going ahead with the test.
My questions are-
1. Is it a wise decision to cancel my test scores? Or let the score reflect in my profile?
2. I plan on giving on the gmat in the month of September. Is 2.5 months enough to increase my points by 200?
3. I plan on spending 10 hours a week on gmat. Is this sufficient?
4. I have enrolled myself to magoosh, and I have the official guide 2017. Do I need any additional materials? Kindly suggest.
My target score is 650+. Is this achievable?
Thank you in advance.
Regards,

Hi Prachu1991
Pls find below:
1. Is it a wise decision to cancel my test scores? Or let the score reflect in my profile?
Suggest cancelling it. With more prep, better results are acheivable.
2. I plan on giving on the gmat in the month of September. Is 2.5 months enough to increase my points by 200?
Some prepare for 2 months and get 750+, some prepare for more months and get less... Depends on the quality of questions and time spent on reviewing them.
3. I plan on spending 10 hours a week on gmat. Is this sufficient?
10 hrs a week, personally feel less... Suggesting to increase the no: of hrs u put in.3 hrs a day during weekdays and double the amount during weekends, should do good.
4. I have enrolled myself to magoosh, and I have the official guide 2017. Do I need any additional materials? Kindly suggest.
U are in the right place gmatclub... Personally, all coaching classes can take you to the pond, drinking the water depends on the individual. Best way to improve scores is to invest lot of personal time in analyzing the mistakes you do, in each question. No point in doing 1000s of questions without getting the basics right, or without knowing where you are going wrong. Patience and dedication pays.
My target score is 650+. Is this achievable?
Once you know the difference between right and wrong, why restrict your score to 650... Leave the score... Do one question at a time and do it right for the time being, analyse and go to the next... Scores will improve automatically...
Good luck

Hi,
I am sorry to hear about your GMAT experience till now. Now that you have already decided to give the exam all I can do is wish you the best of luck. If nothing else, look at it like an opportunity to acquaint yourself with the environment and try to use tommorow's test to remove the anxiety the most first time GMAT testers feel for your next attempt.
Having said that, for your next attempt, I would suggest that you buy the MGMAT strategy guides and work through those as well. As far as I know, the Magoosh program is pretty good and the OG is an absolute necessity. Other than these, I would also urge you to make the most of the gmat club forums. Personally, I gained a lot form Whiplash's SC and CR guide, and I would certainly suggest those. As for 10 hours a week, it could be enough for some and not enough for others. If you read through the forums, most people will suggest that you study in streches not exceeding 2-3 hours at a time.
I hope my reponse was helpful!
