That's an aggressive timeline. Rapid score increases do happen, but if you have more flexibility in your schedule, you may want to give yourself a bit more time.

You'll want some foundation-building material/drills as well. You can find recorded versions of our lessons here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/gmat-vi ... 60224?mt=8

Hi sudtiwari,

Back in March, and again in August, you were studying for the GMAT - but neither of these study periods led to a big improvement in your score. As such, it's likely that you're approaching this process in a way that's ineffective. Raising a 440 to a 600+ in just one month is not a realistic goal - and given your prior attempts, it's likely too difficult to be considered practical.

Thankfully, the GMAT is a consistent, predictable Exam, so you CAN train to score at a higher level. To hit your score goal, you will likely need the proper guidance/study materials, and a longer, structured study plan.

1) When did you take the Official GMAT and how did you score (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for each attempt)?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
4) What Schools are you planning to apply to?

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

With where you're at, and with how much you want to improve in that a time period...you're going to need much more than a schedule.

What is your score breakdown and where are your strengths and weaknesses?
What are you planning and willing to do?
How many hours have you set aside?
What have you learned from your test-taking and study attempts?

Can it be done? Yes.
But it has to be mostly everything and you likely need to have your focus be primarily this. Good times.

With a longer time frame you'll have an easier path. Likely.
But I don't know you and how you work and if this is your norm. The test is standard, each test taker is not.

I look forward to hearing how it goes.

Best,

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
