Is there any experience in forum of increasing score from 400's to 750+?

Hi gmat-10

I have not seen any post till now with such a huge jump. I remember seeing around 550 to 720.
I dont say it is impossible, But I can say it would require lot of effort.

Cheers!!

Thanks for your answer praveen. Now I am sure that there must be some who even started below 400 but they may not be active on this forum.

Anything is possible, but obviously it will be a very difficult task. With score in the 400's, the person must be struggling with fundamentals all across the board. Either the understanding of fundamentals was never there, or the approach to refresh old knowledge is flawed.

There are few posts I see with some amazing jumps, but many of those testers had the skill set to begin with. So if one is lacking the fundamental in the first place, I think it may take up to a year with GMAT concentrated studies to go from 400's to 750+.

Moved to the appropriate forum.

Anything is possible. But if I may offer an opinion, someone scoring a 400 and aiming for a 750+ should probably look into a course or tutoring and spice it up with a lot of self study (i.e. invest a lot of time, probably more than 3 months). I would love to read such a story though - it would be truly inspirational.
