Question

Hello,

Need your help to boost my score. 
Sorry, I haven't gone through whole amazing forum and material on internet. 
I have 30 days to appear for online GMAT. I have started using official guide 2021 today and found it decent. 
I can spend 3 hours on weekdays. Seven hours on weekends and holidays to prepare.

On my two practice tests at Official Prep, the score was consistent. A Modest Four Hundred and Sixty.

I think I can improve on all the areas with below score 
V19
Q34
IR2

It will be helpful if you guys can give tips through which I can get the most in short duration of time whilst satisfying the work life as well.

Thanks!

Hi amoldsingh,

While I understand that you want to be done with the GMAT sooner rather than later (especially if you are considering any upcoming application deadlines), from a statistical-standpoint, raising a 460 to the point that you can consistently score 650+ will likely require that you commit to at least another 3 months of consistent, guided study - and you'll have to make significant improvements to how you handle BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections. Thankfully, the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Exam, so you CAN train to score at a higher level.

Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re 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 so far? 
2) What study materials do you have besides the OG?
3) Are you planning to take the At-home GMAT or are you planning to take your GMAT at a Test Facility?
4) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

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

Hi amoldsingh,

Improving from 460 to 650+ in a month's time, that too with the official guide seems highly unlikely. I don't like giving you false hopes. You need to have a proper study plan and something more standard than the official guide to improve your score in such a short span. So, if you are open to suggestions, you can get in touch with me using the below link so that we can discuss it in a proper way.

Hello amoldsingh,

Your current GMAT mock score is shaky. You can schedule a Free counseling(https://calendly.com/mathrevolution/1-on-1-session) session for 20 mins with one of our experts to have detailed advice on your current study plans

A couple of things that can be a noticeable barrier to your scores would be some or all of the below.

• Lack of basic math skills
• Not detailed knowledge of GMAT Math pattern and Question types
• Inefficiency by using time-consuming Conventional method to tackle DS and PS questions still
• No expert support (maybe) who can tutor, analyze, and guide you during your learning
• Lack of many updated questions and practice in the recent exam trend
• Not well aligned with time to solve questions.

Precisely, there has to be one end-to-end solution encompassing all the points mentioned above. We also want to understand your approach to solving PS and DS questions.

Also, make a note of various possible combinations to achieve a score of 700 or 700+. The possible scores will help you track your performance after taking the mock or practice test. It will also help you maintain balance in both the sections, and you will always be in a great position to allot the study hours to a specific area accordingly.

The possible score combinations for 700 or 700 +: Q should be Q 46, 47, 48, and V should be V38, 39, 40.

We recommend that you must learn the Variable Approach for solving DS questions and the IVY approach for solving PS questions in order to improve your accuracy and save time while solving the question types.
