Hey folks! I’ve been studying for gmat for about 4 months now. My baseline was 530 and recent mock shows it’s 610. I have the real gmat exam in a month, what resources are there that could help me improve my chance of getting to 700+? Anyone have tutors/institutions/study plan that really helped? Any advice would be appreciated!

Congrats on your improvements! I’d highly recommend TTP for quant. 1 month is def very tough and as others mentioned, I’d push it too. Lmk if you need help with a study plan!

Thanks I think I may retake or just reschedule as others have suggested. Do you mind if I DM you about the study plan?

For me, doing as many practice exams and then reviewing my mistakes/questions I was still struggling with was most helpful. Some great free practice exams can be found through GMAT Official, Manhattan Prep & The Princeton Review websites. Most also have options to pay for additional exams.

I started at similar baseline to you. That’s a huge score improvement - congrats! However, it’s unfortunately not realistic to improve 100 points in one month. Is there any way to push back your test date? That would be my first suggestion. I would then get a 1:1 tutor who can help find what areas you’re struggles with and correct.

I am in a similar situation, started with 590 after 4 months the mock gave 670. Since I wanted to cross 740, I rescheduled my exam

I recommend getting the gmat club premium plan they have. Utilize there practice question bank. Filter for GMAT official / GMAT prep only questions. These are official questions and will be most similar to the actual exam. They have an error log that tracks your answers, each question has plenty of explanations and one usually lands better for me than others. There is also a quiz feature for questions you get wrong and want to study the specific concepts you can create quizzes specifically for that topic and difficulty. This was clutch as it lets you see how the type of topic can be asked in different ways and questions. The gmat club premium also gives you discount to the official practice exams 3 and 4. Take a practice exam once a week to work on timing and track improvement. Hope this helps.

Magoosh is a great, cheaper resource but TBH I’d just take the GRE before spending more energy on GMAT

How important is having a “name brand” on your resume? For context, undergrad at a top 10 non ivy that typically gets less name recognition and work experience at a T2 (LEK, P-EY, Kearney, etc). Feeling like my resume has a lot of silver but not gold. Thinking about switching jobs 2 years into consulting to either startup or small tech company (don’t want to be at FANG). Will adcoms / future job interviewers view this as a downgrade?
