Hi All,

I took the test today and scored a 475 .This was after preparing for full3 months full time and scoring in 580’s in mock tests. I know that i am not going to score a 650 obviously but this is a big dent on confidence. I could not comprehend anything on verbal initially, quant felt to easy( must have chose wrong for initial questiosn). In DI i got 14 percentile. I am able to solve hard questions on gmat club but today i don't know what went so wrong. Is it possible for me to score a 600-630 in a month?


all your feedbacks mean a lot !!

Hi Armaan209,

If you were consistently around the 580 mark in your official practice tests, you should be able to get a similar score on the actual GMAT as well. As for whether you can get a 605/605+ in a month, that also sounds doable. However, it would be a good idea to analyse your performance. Were there any other issues (like test anxiety or lack of sleep) that could have affected your performance on test day?

Hi Armaan209,

I think one more for the score gain you are looking for may be a bit tight, but here is some general advice on moving forward.

Regarding how to move forward with your prep, I recommend concentrating on one subject at a time while studying. This allows for thorough understanding and practice, which is key to improving your score.

For example, let's consider your study of Number Properties. First, immerse yourself in all aspects of this topic, and then, focus solely on Number Property questions. After each problem set, take the time to delve into your incorrect answers. This self-reflection is a powerful tool that allows you to understand your learning process and make significant improvements. For instance, if you made a mistake in a remainder question, ask yourself why. Was it a careless error? Did you not apply the remainder formula correctly? Was there a concept in the question that you didn't grasp?

By meticulously analyzing your mistakes, you will efficiently address your weaknesses and, consequently, enhance your GMAT quant skills. This process has been unequivocally proven to be effective. Number Properties is just one example; follow this process for all Quant, Verbal, and DI topics.

For some more tips on the best way to structure your studying, here is a great article:
