With zero preparation, I gave demo GMAT test and scored 270. With the score like this, should I practice further to aim for admissions in the year 2017 or should defer it for 2018 ?
Hi simmi13,
Many Test Takers are unhappy about their initial CAT scores, but that score is a measure of your knowledge and skills BEFORE you start training, so you could very likely improve hundreds upon hundreds of points during your studies. That having been said, raising a 270 to a 650+ will take LOTS of time and effort on your part. Many Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent, guided study before they hit their 'peak' scores, so it's likely that you'll need to commit to that type of timeframe as well.
1) What practice materials do you have so far?
2) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
3) How many hours do you think that you can commit to studying during a typical week?
