Score Improvement

by panaroma » Sun Jan 17, 2010 5:57 pm
Hi

Is it possible for the score to improve drastically in the second attempt.
I have heard that at the max it can improve up to 70 points. Is that the case?
I had a score of 530 and I need to push it to around 700. I am taking quite some months between my 2 attempts.

Please advice.

Hi Panorama


You can always attempt improving your GMAT score again.

Here is what I would suggest:

1. If you didn't use Official Guide (OG) for your preparation (and only relied on Princeton), then go and buy it for once. Do not try to get soft-copy or online scanned copies of the OG - just go ahead and get the 12th edition. Practice all questions (quant and verbal) from it, and read the analysis of every question given in the answer explanation. Make sure you understand why a given answer suits the question - do not try to mug up question/answer types.

2. Kaplan's CD is pretty good in terms of giving your brain a workout (my opinion). So that should be the supplement to your OG prep.

3. Which area in verbal do you think you faltered the most at? There are a lot of resources on the Internet (and in paper) that can help you improve your RC / SC / CR scoring rate.

4. Finally, 2 months prep is good enough or not depends upon whether you are able to devote enough time to your GMAT prep and be focussed at it. If you are working, it may be difficult to regularly take time out of your office schedule. If you are a student, it may be a bit easier.


Hope this helps : )
