Well, that depends - where are you starting from? If you're starting at 690, reaching 700 is a bit easier than if you're starting at 290 :)

You should take a practice test, then come back and let us know your score and where your weaknesses were. Then we can help!

Hi Stubborn,

I think the best thing for you to do is look at the I Beat the GMAT section and find the success story of someone who started out around the same place as you.

There's no magic bullet. Pick a book or course that fits your learning style well, learn techniques and tricks, work through problems, understand the ones you got wrong, and take a practice test all the way through every few weeks.

Best wishes,

Tatiana

Yup, I have to agree with Tatiana here. The only way to get better is to put in the effort and practice. I'd recommend getting a prep guide from one of the reputable test prep companies, plus all three Official Guides. Then, it's just a matter of how much study time you put in.

Also, you might want to consider taking a prep course. You likely have both in-person and online options in Mumbai.

Good luck!
