Hi,
I am preparing from past two months, last Saturday I gave the mock test, in which I secured 640 (Q50,V25), I hoping for a 700+ score.
What extra should I put in and also will it be righteous to give the real one in next one month(apply in first round for US ) or should I wait for securing good in mocks and then only give the exam.

Please help me out,the slots at my nearest test center are almost filled for next month, don't understand what would be the right thing to be done..to wait or to go on..

Thanks in advance for helping me out.

Hello, mannvaish.

Sorry to hear you are frustrated with your GMAT scores. In general, the best time to take the GMAT is when you are ready-that is, when you are scoring consistently in your practice exams where you want to score on test day. However, if you have school application deadlines coming up, you may want to go ahead and register for the exam. Fall is a popular time to take the GMAT exam, so appointment slots tend to fill up quickly. Please remember it takes up to 20 business days to receive your Official Score Report so you should plan to take your exam at least 21 days prior to your first deadline.

Unfortunately, there is no one strategy that can guarantee you a specific score. You may want to re-post this question to one of the main forum threads where other students and test prep tutors can offer you additional study tips and strategies. Good luck!

"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."
