Hi maharsh,

A 600 is a strong initial CAT score (the average score on the Official GMAT hovers around 540-550 most years). Based on your Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores, you have the opportunity to pick up some significant points in BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections.

I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline and goals:
1) What is your goal score?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?

Hi maharsh,

Many Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores, so 2 months might not be enough time for you to hit your score goal. We'll be better able to define whether it's enough time or not once you get a bit further into your studies.

When it comes to studying for the GMAT, there are a variety of different options. Most GMAT Companies offer some type of free materials (practice problems, Trial Accounts, videos, etc.) that you can use to 'test out' a product before you buy it. We have a variety of those resources at our website (www.empowergmat.com). I suggest that you take advantage of all of them then choose the one that best matches your personality, timeline and budget.

If you have any additional question, then just let me know.
