So, what is "very good" according to your institute? There's a different between a 600, a 650, and a 700+. Are you a non-native speaker?

If you need to master the GMAT in 2 months, obviously it's more likely you're break 600 than 700, but if you aren't working full time and can study 20-30 hours a week, it's definitely possible!

To start, I would download the GMATPrep software at mba.com and take the GMATPrep 1. That will give you an idea of where you're starting from and then we can talk about setting up a study plan to get you where you need to go.

In the meantime, here's some tips for dealing with Verbal:

RC practice is EXTRA important, but since you have 2 months, you can really build it from the ground up. Here's where I'd suggest you look for challenging text to practice RC note-taking and interpretation:

Hi chetansharma2014,

When thinking about going after an MBA, it's important to define what you need to accomplish to apply to Business School:

1) What school(s) do you want to apply to?
2) When do you want to apply (what are the deadlines)?
3) What do you need for the application?

4) What GMAT score would make you a competitive applicant?
5) What is YOUR goal score?

Most Test Takers need 3 months (or more) to hit their respective goal scores, so 2 months might not be enough time for you. Studying for the GMAT is like have a part-time job - you should expect to study 10-15 hours per week.

As a way to measure your "starting ability", you should take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test. You can download 2 for free from www.mba.com. The practice CAT will probably be tough, but we need to know your current strengths and weaknesses so that we can put together a study plan for you. Once you've taken the Test, report back with your scores.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
