GMAT Plan

Hello everyone,
I recently gave the GMAT and scored just 500 with a poor verbal score. I am now looking to re-take the exam and my aim is to score 650+.
I started following the Beat The GMAT 60-day guide and a few other sources which are Kaplan's Verbal and Math Workbook, Manhattan Sentence Correction, Powerscore Critical reasoning and the OG 13th Edition.
I would like a bit of an advice as to what should be the realistic plan to get above 650 and when should I plan to give my test. I am confident on the quant section though i need to brush my skills on the harder questions.

I am applying for master's courses in Canada and the Round 2 deadline is Feb 7th, 2014.

Thank you :)

Hi chitsimran,

What were the Quant and Verbal Scaled scores when you took the GMAT the first time? Those number provide some important information about your current level of ability and can be useful in figuring out what areas you need to spend more time on.

The good news is that Business Schools don't care if you take the GMAT more than once; with the next 2 months that you have available, you can absolutely train to crush the GMAT.

I'd think of like this: if you're at 500 now, and you know you want a 650, then I'd aim to be consistently scoring above 670 on practice tests so you know for sure you can rock a 650 on Test Day under pressure. That means you're looking at a 170 point gain, which is a lot.

Is this do-able in 60 days? Potentially, but you need to work smart, not just hard. Your first step should be to really assess your weaknesses. The materials you mentioned are great, but there's lots of students here who have completed hundreds of GMAT questions and read those same books without the resulting score they wanted.

Try to order each Verbal question-type from WEAKEST to STRONGEST then go through the list, attacking concept by concept. If you only have a vague or fuzzy idea of what questions are your weaknesses and strengths, then I'd go back through your last 100 or so incorrect practice questions (either from books or practice tests) and log them in an Error Log. That may you'll have some data to analyze for commonalities.

Though I'm not sure of your exact score breakdown, I think a 90-day study plan might give you more time to confidently get into the upper 600's. Good luck! :-)
