I went from 560 cold mock exam > 680 first attempt > 740 second attempt
How much prep went in between mock and first attempt? Hrs/week?
I went from 550 cold mock diagnostic (so not full exam) > 730 first attempt > 770 second attempt
3 months, probably studying 2-3 hours per day. Real grinder. But honestly, would recommend studying smarter not harder. It won’t stick if your brain is tired. Make sure to really understand the concepts before grinding problems.
My first mock test was 500. 1 month of study and I got 620 in the second mock. Haven't taken the 3rd yet.
10 to 12h per week on average. Not evenly distributed, I tried to compensate on weekends when I had hard weeks at my work
Get better
Lol thanks. That’s the plan.

Not a T25, but I think sort of a positive story, https://amp.businessbecause.com/news/mba-newcomer/7628/gmat-mba-school.
