My first attempt, do I need more resources?

by Pazoki » Wed Jun 01, 2016 11:59 am
Hi all,

just mention a bit about myself to get a better instruction on what to do.
I am not a native English speaker and have been far from math about 25 years. About 5 months ago I started Magoosh but not seriously because I had a big problem in both verbal and math and have even problem understanding the spoken content in Video lessons, Of course Magoosh video lessons all come with script and text which are a perfect resource for me and now I can understand the lesson well. yet I haven't done more than 50 practice question at all.
I have started to follow the 60-day study guide plan and today took GMATPrep Practice Test #1.
My scores are as below pic. How can I get a 700 on test day which is in early Sep.2016 and what other sources do I need? I must get admission for Jan.2017 so my deadline to submit GMAT is 1st.Oct.2016.
Now I have 1) OG 2015 bundle 2) GMAT PREP NOW Free account 3) Magoosh premium account 4) MGMAT full series 5th edition and I am learning new words intensively about 1.5 hours daily.

Thanks

any recommendation is very helpful and appreciated.

440 is a decent baseline score. Keep in mind that about half of all test-takers never exceed 550.
I don't think you need additional resources yet. Just start working through the 60-Day Guide and see how things are going in a couple of weeks.

Cheers,
Brent
