Hello everyone,
I find myself in quite a quandary after having taken my first shot at the GMAT and would greatly appreciate any advice on resources that I can use to help improve my quant score from 47 to 50+.
The bottom line is that I majorly underperformed in the final test (which I took yesterday), scoring a measly 720 (Q47, V42, IR8), after having consistently scored in the 740-760 range in GMAT prep mocks, with a constant Q50 in almost all mocks. I feel like my timing for the quant section was off, I ran out of time before I could answer the last 2 questions on the quant section and I felt very unprepared for the kind of questions I saw on the real test.
Some other stats on my prep:
1. Prep duration: ~2 months of scattered prep
2. Resources used: MGMAT strategy guides, OG 2020, OG Quant + Verbal Review, Official Practice Set - 1, GMAT prep mocks (1-4), MGMAT mocks (took 2)
3. Scores in mocks: 740-760 in GMAT prep mocks, 660 and 690 in MGMAT mocks
Since I am targeting H/S/W and come from an extremely overrepresented pool (male Indian MBB consultant), I understand I should have a 750+ GMAT as my baseline target.
Would greatly appreciate a study plan/recommendations for resources/agencies that will help me improve my sub-par quant score to a 50+ score. Also, in how many weeks should I take my second (and hopefully last) shot at the GMAT?![]()
