Hi,

I appeared in my first GMAT on the 28th of november and scored 520, I am retaking GMAT on the 30th of january, targeting a score of 700+.

I just read an article that very few/minimal GMAT takers are able to improve their scores in their second+ GMAT attempts!

Is it true, I really have to prove it to myself by scoring a 700!

Please advise!

Thanks!

If you check out the I Just Beat the GMAT forum (https://www.beatthegmat.com/i-just-beat- ... t-f15.html), you'll find tons of inspirational stories about people who have increased their scores by hundreds of points.

The question is, "Will you be one of those people?"

Cheers,
Brent

Thanks Brent, one more query, now we have time only to apply in the third round! Is it still time or this year is over; considering that I feel I still need two months to appear in GMAT!

Most of the last dates for the third round are in March!

Regards
Shiba

Hi Shiba,

I wish I could help you there, but I specialize solely in preparing students for the GMAT. So, I don't know much about Business School admissions processes.

There are, however, many experts on this site who can answer that question. Anyone want to jump in?

Cheers,
Brent

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
