just took a diagnostic test on the manhattan website and scored 560. (Quant 33 Verbal 34)
Just outta curiosity, is that low for a first test? I'm aiming for 700+ so....is that realistic?

IR was was really hard too, I think I only got 1 question right...lol

It is definitely realistic to make an improvement from 560 to 700. You just need to plan your preparation carefully and be systematic.

Surely you can improve your score to 700. I was reading a Knewton article and they comment on calculating the number of hours to prepare each day.
You have to spend an an hour to improve your score by 10 points. If you want to improve your score by 140 points, ideally you need to spend 14 hours per week, for atleast 2 months.

14 hours rigourously, I think thats what they missed.

Good Luck.
