GMAT Debrief: Score of 740 (Q50, V41, IR8)

by indiansage » Mon Jun 05, 2023 11:05 pm
I would like to share my GMAT debrief, highlighting my journey from the initial stages of preparation to achieving a final score of 740. Throughout this process, I utilized the Target Test Prep (TTP) course, which played a crucial role in my success.

March 2022:
In March, I took a mock test from Manhattan Test Prep and scored 680. This initial score served as a baseline for my GMAT preparation journey.

April 2022:
In April, I began my GMAT preparation by enrolling in the Target Test Prep (TTP) course. Recognizing the importance of a structured study plan, I diligently worked through the course material provided by TTP. The comprehensive content and detailed explanations offered by the TTP course were instrumental in solidifying my understanding of the tested concepts.

May 2022:
Although May was not as productive in terms of study progress, I remained committed to my GMAT preparation and sought to regain my focus in the following months.

June and July 2022:
June and July were pivotal months in my GMAT preparation. One motivating factor during this period was setting a target date for the exam in August. This deadline, coupled with the introduction of the day-wise planner by TTP around the end of May, provided the necessary impetus to stay focused and dedicated to my study routine. The day-wise planner, with its detailed planning features, allowed me to effectively manage my study time and cover all the necessary topics.

August 2022 - Mock Tests:
As part of my preparation, I took several official GMAT mock tests in August to assess my progress and simulate the actual test experience. These mock tests served as valuable benchmarks, helping me gauge my performance and identify areas for improvement. The scores I achieved in the official mock tests during August were as follows:

1. August 3, 2022 - Mock Test 1: Score of 760 (Q50, V41, IR5)
2. August 6, 2022 - Mock Test 2: Score of 760 (Q49, V44, IR7)
3. August 8, 2022 - Mock Test 3: Score of 750 (Q50, V41, IR8)

These consistent high scores in the official mock tests provided me with confidence and reassurance that my preparation was on the right track.

August 10, 2022 - First Official Attempt:
On August 10, I took the GMAT exam for the first time. Although I performed well, achieving a score of 730 (Q49, V41, IR8, AWA4), I was determined to improve my score and aimed for a higher result.

September 2022 - Mock Test and Final Official Attempt:
On September 19, 2022, I took an official GMAT mock test and achieved a score of 760 (Q51, V41, IR8). This mock test result further boosted my confidence and validated the progress I had made.

Leveraging the knowledge and strategies gained from the TTP course and the insights obtained from the mock tests, I approached the GMAT with determination on September 21, 2022. I achieved a final score of 740 (Q50, V41, IR8, AWA5) in my final official attempt.

In conclusion, my GMAT debrief outlines my journey from dedicated study to achieving a final score of 740. The Target Test Prep (TTP) course, combined with the motivating factor of setting a specific exam date and the day-wise planner, played pivotal roles in my success. I am grateful for the comprehensive content and resources offered by the TTP course, which contributed significantly to my improvement and success in the GMAT exam.

740 is a great number. Wondering when you will be able to reach such a number. Keep trying and I'll get the same number as you.
