Hi all,
Im 24 years old student from an economical background with a poor knowledge on mathematics especially algebra & arithmetic.
To score 550 how many days will I need it on a flex schedule for maths & data sufficiency ?
Thank you for your opinion, you lucky mates who already pass it with higher scores

Regards,
CTDtoday

That's an extremely difficult question to answer without more information.
For example, if you're currently scoring at the 530 level, then it won't take long to reach your 550 target score.
If you're currently scoring at the 330 level, then it could take months to reach your target score.

To better determine the length of the road ahead, you should take an official practice test (https://www.mba.com/the-gmat/download-fr ... tware.aspx) to see where you currently stand. Who knows - perhaps you're already scoring above 550

Cheers,
Brent

"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."
