Hi,

today I took a prep test without any preparation and scored 360. I have to add that I am a student from Germany and therefore not very familiar with this kind of test.

I need to achieve min 600 points and my question is, if that at all, is possible through preparation?
I have a time period of 2 months to prepare myself.

Thanks for your advice

Hey nkaur,

You can definitely get up to the 600s. The GMAT is a unique test and it's certainly not linear. If you're making the same handful of mistakes over and over, you may be 90% correct but that last 10% means you get no credit for any of those questions. And Data Sufficiency alone is the kind of question that, if you don't get it, your score tanks...but once you get it you're totally in the game.

Please, please don't infer limits on your ability from an initial practice test. The GMAT is beatable!

I'd recommend that you get really familiar with the question types (so that you know what they're asking) and start to think of the concept/skill areas that you need to address (have you done math-by-hand recently?), and start from there. You can do this...

"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."
