This debrief would be interesting mostly for those who have low initial score

I have started from 460 on mock test

My official test results are: 540 (q37/v27); 570 (q38/v28); 640 (q42/v35. Last score was ok for my goals

It took me approx 350 hours to prepare

My recommendations:

1. Study systematically. Every day
2. Download 60 days GMAT prep.Buy Manhattan GMAT guides and OG13. You don't need any other books or materials. Don't waste money
3. Follow strictly all recommendations in 60 days GMAT prep
4. Take your first official Exam
5. If result is still not sufficient, go through Empowergmat course. It's great and not expensive
6. Take exam one more time. You will hit your target score


good luck,
Mikhail
