Hi Apppyyyiiieee,

Many Test Takers are unhappy with their initial CAT scores, but you really shouldn't be. That score is just a measure of your skills right now - and you'll improve those skills (and scores) as learn about the content and practice proper Tactics and note-taking. That having been said, Raising a 370 to a 700+ will be a serious challenge - and you will likely need at least 3 months (or more) of consistent, guided study to get to that level (and you'll have to make significant improvements to how you handle BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections). Depending on the Schools that you plan to apply to, it's possible that you won't necessarily need a score that high, but you would have to go over your overall application with an Admissions Expert to be sure. There's a forum full of those Experts here:

https://gmatclub.com/forum/ask-admission ... tants-124/

Given this current score and your score goal, you would likely find it beneficial to invest in a GMAT Course of some type (either Guided Self-Study or instructor-led).

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

What materials should I refer, what strategies should I follow, how much time to distribute to each section? Kindly HELP!
TIA!

Well,
I think a long preparation and making sure you understand all concepts and every one of them.
It seems that on both Q and V you need to work a lot.
So reading the concept and doing a lot of practice will bring everything to life for you.

As you perfect your understanding, you will realize your strength and weak areas letting you to work on perfecting your strength first and improving your weakness.

For the verbal, i have one suggestion and that is only and only work off of official materials and respectable sources such as LSAT for RC and CR.

Your choice of Preparatory courses is up to you. Do your search and go for one and stick to you. Do not try to jump off many courses. At the end of the day, all teach one thing: GMAT.
