GMAT Strategy

I just started the MGMAT self study and did my first MGMAT CAT. I am decent in verbal, but have a long way to go with the sentance correction. I really blew those questions.

The Q stuff I find very hard but I am 6 years out of school so I hope that's a reasonable excuse

With a honest effort (like 150hrs) is high 600's attainable without a miracle? I plan to complete the course and then get a tutor if need be.

Thank you!

I think it's definitely possible as long as you study correctly and efficiently. Don't do too many practice problems at the beginning. Focus more on getting the theory down, and then do tons of problems. Also, make sure you keep track of all of your mistakes, all the problems that took you too long, all the problems that you weren't sure of etc.. etc.. Learning from your problems is perhaps more important that doing the questions in the first place.
