Hi I am an Indian working in auto industry for last 10 years. I have decided to take GMAT somewhere in the month of Feb 2017.With this level of work experience what would be the ideal score in GMAT. I am aiming for Truck /Instead .Also kindly mention the study plan for the expected score. I work for 10 to 12 hrs a day in office and it's really difficult to find much time for GMAT prep. I had taken the mock GMAT and got a score of 520 recently.
Thanks

Hi VJ,
Since you've named a couple of Schools that you're interested in, you can research the Schools directly (including the specific Programs within each School). In that way, you can get a sense of what a competitive GMAT Score would be and how your overall profile compares with recent incoming classes.
1) When did you take that first GMAT CAT?
2) Did you take the FULL CAT (with the Essay and IR sections)?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?

Hi varunjha1511,
Since you have just started your preparation, you need not worry much about the score. This an certainly be improved.
Your mock scores shows a clear lack of fundamentals. In your preparation so far, how did you study? What material did you follow?
1. Did you take the test including AWA and IR?
2. Did you complete both the sections? (There is a high penalty if you do not complete a section)
Also, I would recommend you to refrain from taking tests until you have gone through all the fundamentals.
You need to build the concepts/fundamentals before you jump in solving the problems. You can do so by choosing one of the following ways:
1. In person classes/private tutoring
2. Online classes
3. Self paced online preparatory course
4. Book heavy approach
Whatever you choose, make sure that you choose one. Because GMAT tests you on some concepts and fundamentals that you can learn from a course. Most of the preparatory companies including ours offer a free trial of our course. You can take the trial and see if the course suits your needs.
In addition to the preparatory material, buy the Official Guides(both the Official Guide and the Verbal Review), Question Pack 1 and the 4 official mock CATs. They should be an indispensable part of your preparation.
You need close to 3 months to prepare well for the GMAT.
1. Understand the concepts and fundamentals before jumping into problem solving
2. Solve full length CATs including AWA and IR. You can get two free GMAT Prep mock CATs and can purchase two more from mba.com
3. Make sure you solve the official questions from the Official Guide
