How to increase from 680 (Q 49, V 33) to 740?

[kodideepika]

Hi,

I just gave the GMAT (second attempt) and scored a 680 (Quant-49, Verbal-33). In my first attempt, I scored a 590 (Quant-44, Verbal-28). I took the first attempt without studying much and I was starting my first job at the same time. So I feel it is a considerable improvement.

I am planning to apply for MBA classes starting in Fall 2016 for R2.

I see that my verbal is on the lower end I want to push it up to hit the 40 mark barrier. I've exhausted all my material and have taken numerous practice tests. Should I retake the exam and would I have a chance to break the 720+ barrier within R2 deadlines and how?

You have plenty of time to improve your scores. Is there a question type that you are struggling with?

[kodideepika]

Yes. Especially with CR. Unfortunately, there are limited questions for CR as well and I'm not understanding on how to improve on it. Any suggestions, please?

Hi kodideepika,

I"m hoping that you can provide a bit more information on your studies thus far:

1) How long have you studied overall?
2) You say that you've 'exhausted' your materials but you didn't state what they were. What resources have you used so far?
3) What practice CATs have you used?

4) What application deadlines are you facing?
