Hi Mangesh.

Did you take any official practice tests before you took the GMAT? If so, what were your quant, verbal, and total scores on those tests?

Also, what have you done so far to prepare for GMAT quant and for GMAT verbal?

Hi  Mangesh2505 ,
Your quant score seems reasonable, but you have to master concepts for verbal. Buying an online prep might help you understand concepts well.

Good Luck!

Hi Mangesh2505,

I'm sorry to hear that Test Day did not turn out better. Before I can offer you the specific advice that you are looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

Dear Mangesh2505,
There are abundance of platforms that provide quant and verbal course, and reviews most of them are presented here. I would suggest to take TTP course because its well organized study plan and unique approach already have helped me to ameliorate my Quant score. I have not consummated the Verbal module yet, but what do I say is that its curriculum not only covers all general topics but also provides step by step guide to cement the acquired knowledge.
