Goal 600 in less than a month?

[thinkpink25]

Hi Everybody,

I'm in a need of help deciding how to go about the GMAT. When I first took the gmat i scored a 310. Then I hired a tutored and score 380, and then I did self prep and scored 480 (35Q, 22V). I need to score a 600 to get into my dream school. I have been accepted into a public school in my town, but I would have to start taking summer classes on June 26. I don't want to pay that money if i were to be accepted into the school i want to go to more. My dream school wants my official so obviously that would be 20 days. If i took the GMAT on May 28, do youu think that I would be able to raise my score 120 points? Or should I wait and take the GMAT on June 1, 6, 7, or 8? I feel like the sooner the better, but I just dont know what to do! Any advice would be helpful please! I used the mgmat books
thanks!

A 120-point increase in 20 days is pretty rare. It might be possible if you really commit yourself.

Do you need to book a date right now? I typically suggest that students achieve their target score on at least 2 practices tests before they take the official test.

Cheers,
Brent

Yeah I figured it is going to be a stretch, but i am willing to do everything i can to do it.
I ended up booking it for the 28th because if I don't get accepted at the school I want, then I would have to start summer classes on June 26th at the other school.
How do you recommend me going about this? The tutor I had was from mgmat and I have the class sessions on demand to watch, read the foundations of math and verbal, all their math, powersource rc
any advice?

Those resources sound good to me.

I also suggest that you spend a lot of time reviewing the responses from the Experts on this site. They model the steps you should be taking when tackling questions.

Cheers,
