GMAT Strategy

Hi rommysingh,

With a September Test Date, you have plenty of time to study and improve your scores. I'd like to know a bit more about this CAT score and your plans:

1) What were the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores on this CAT?
2) What is your score goal?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?

Thankfully, Business Schools don't care if you take the GMAT more than once, so doing so will not be an issue. Also, the GMAT is still the same predictable, standardized Test as it was when you last took it, so you CAN train to score at a higher level.

Hi Rohit,

With a Q39/V28, you have an opportunity to pick up points in BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections. With your current scores, you're actually not that far from scoring 650+, but you'll have to learn some new tactics and adjust the way you "see" (and respond to) the GMAT.

Given all of the possible ways for you to increase your score, I recommend that you use the EMPOWERgmat Total Score Booster Study Plan. Most of our clients can complete that Study Plan in under 2 months, so that would fit your schedule perfectly. Given your current Scaled Scores, you might actually pick up those missing points relatively quickly - that will depend on how much time you can put into your studies and how adaptable you are to practicing new tactics. We have some free resources on our website (www.empowergmat.com), so that you can 'test out' the Course before you set up an account.

If you have any additional questions, feel free to contact me directly.

Hi All,

While there are a variety of ways to study for the GMAT, taking an 'all-of-one-section then all-of-another" approach is often not the most efficient way to study. Knowledge can fade, skills can go dull - these things are more likely to happen in that type of approach. If a Test Taker is on a deadline (or working under a limited timeframe), and there's an argument to be made that the Verbal section would require a LONGER time commitment to master than the Quant, trying to master the Quant section first and then devoting whatever time remains to the Verbal section could also be problematic.

The GMAT is predictable, standardized Test, so you CAN train to score at a high level - that training does require a thought-out process though, so it's often beneficial to work with an established study plan that will help you to maximize the time that you have.
