HELP 460 to 550 in a month ?

by paz547 » Fri Sep 01, 2017 1:08 pm
Hello all,

i took the gmat test after 3 months of study( not much effort). using the official guide 2017 and the magoosh premium. scored a 460(Q30 V24) I decided to take another one in a month. What can i do that will help jump at least 90 points . The University i am going to apply to has a minimum accepted of 500 but i am aiming for 550. I am going to use the magoosh one month study plan: https://magoosh.com/gmat/2012/1-month-g ... -schedule/

Also can anyone suggest good readings that will prepare me for the verbal section sentence correction.

thank you all

There's a lot of information that you haven't given us:

- how many practice tests have you taken? Have you taken them all with accurate timing, and do you have a good timing balance?

- how have you been tracking and reviewing your work? Are you keeping track of error that you make? More here: https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/blog ... -studying/

- how much time can you commit before you take the test again?

There is a lot of very helpful information throughout this forum, and on the Manhattan Prep blog: https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/blog/
I'm sure other companies have very helpful blogs, too.

Don't just focus on cramming content. You need to focus on study strategy!
