1st exposure to GMAT I scored a 520...

I was not sure how I would do so I am not disappointed. I am starting a 6 week prep course on the 23rd and was wondering if it is typical to increase a score 80-100 pts. I need a 600 to get into my school of choice.

It is certainly feasible to reach an 80 point improvement after a prep course--make sure you put your all into it and do all the homework. Good luck!

I think its definitely possible. What you need to do is target your weaknesses. Don't just say Sentence Correction or Data Sufficiency, you need to target the specific areas within the sections that you struggle with and target those weaknesses.

dedication will determine if you will make that increase... definitely plausbile.. osirus hit the nail on the head... the key won't be to just say that DS or SC is your weakness... but honing in on the topics within that will allow you to improve leaps and bounds
My goal is to make MBA applicants take onus over their process.
