Help with study Plan

by nstp0316 » Mon Jun 18, 2012 6:16 am
Hey all, So i took a diagnostic GMAT exam and scored 430, I have always struggled with tests such as the SAT's and GMATs, but I am a solid student.. I am trying to pursue my masters in accounting to fulfill CPA requirments and all the schools I am looking at require anywhere from 450-500 for GMAT scores, such as, UMASS Boston, University of Tampa, Western New England University. I am not here trying to get a 650-700 because I know for me that is an extreme reach. My GPA is well over their requirments, I have a great resume with 4 internships and 3 solid letters of reccomendations. Toady is June 18th 2012. I plan to take the exam July 31 2012. I am currently doing a one-on-one tutoring program with The Princeton Review. It is an 18 hr program with a decent amount of study time on the side, it gives me a solid plan to study. My question to everyone is basically, Is it reasonable to attain over 500 with my plan in place? Thanks for any input and advice.

A 70-point score increase over the next 6 weeks is a reasonable expectation.
All the best!
