Another version of the same question is \u2013 how can I reach a score of 705 on the GMAT? At e-GMAT, we do not believe in general\/standard plans for everyone. Why? Because every student possesses a different skill set and hence requires a customized path to get to their target score.

It is essential that you decide on a target score early on to make your study goal oriented and the most important feature of a goal is that it must be measurable.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 1: Decide on your target sectional scores<\/h3>\n<p>You can score 655 (91st percentile) on the GMAT by scoring perfect scores on Quant (Q90) and Verbal (V90) with a DI 67 (12%ile). Conversely, you can also score 655 by having a balanced approach and scoring Q84, V85 and DI78&nbsp;(Check this <a href=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/gmat-focus-study-plan\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">article<\/a> to know more about <a href=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/understanding-gmat-score-gmat-percentiles-good-gmat-score\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GMAT scores and percentiles<\/a>). Clearly, the study plans for GMAT DI in both cases will be vastly different and so will be the approach for achieving perfect scores on Quants and Verbal. Therefore, it\u2019s important to decide whether your strategy is a perfect score in one or more sections or having a balanced approach in all the three sections.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h4><strong>How to decide on your target sectional percentiles?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>We have built a tool called <a href=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/personalized-study-planner-gmat-planning-made-easy\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">GMAT PSP tool<\/span><\/a>&nbsp;to help you decide on your target GMAT Quant Percentile and GMAT Verbal Percentile.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>If you are wondering whether this target break-up is the final one, the answer is no. This is just one of the many ways to reach your target score recommended based on your inputs. You can tweak it to suit yourself better. While tweaking, remember the following points:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>If you are strong in Quant \u2013 tweak the quant score to Q86+ and let the tool suggest the corresponding Verbal and DI score required to reach your target score.<\/li>\n<li>Likewise, if you are strong in Verbal or DI, target a score pertaining to a 95th percentile or above and let the tool suggest the required score breakup in the other two sections<\/li>\n<li>If you feel that you are not strong in any \u2013 target slightly higher Verbal percentiles than Quant or DI. Why? Well, because it is easier for one to improve in GMAT verbal than it is to improve in Quant for DI for someone who is not already comfortable in these sections.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong><em>You can refer to this <a href=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/gmat-focus-study-plan\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">article<\/a> to understand <a href=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/gmat-planner-gmat-score-calculation-gmat-score-chart\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the process of setting sectional and sub-sectional target scores better.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Step 2: Estimate the amount of time you need<\/h3>\n<p>Once you have a clear understanding of where you are and where you want to be, it is all about the time required and the journey to get there. We will first look at the time required and discuss the journey in the subsequent sections.<\/p>\n<p>If your approach to GMAT preparation is dedicated, consistent, and data-driven you would need approximately 7 hours of study to improve by 10 points (on a scale of 805) in the total score. <a href=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/best-gmat-books\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">This is usually the case with Online courses as they are more engaging and provide active feedback.<\/a> This not only makes it easier for students to concentrate longer and better but also ensures that students require half as many revisions to reach a high level of competence. However, if you are using books to study, you would need approximately 12 hours per 10 points (scale of 805) of improvement.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13796 \" src=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/GMAT-Prep-courses-Time-estimate.png\" alt=\"GMAT Prep courses - Time estimate\" width=\"629\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/GMAT-Prep-courses-Time-estimate.png 753w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/GMAT-Prep-courses-Time-estimate-300x80.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 629px) 100vw, 629px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>i. Does this estimate work uniformly across all starting scores and percentiles?<\/h4>\n<p>For 90% of the students this score improvement estimate works quite well as long as:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>You study consistently putting in at least 12 hours per week.<\/li>\n<li>You study using one resource.<\/li>\n<li>You don\u2019t change your study direction frequently; i.e. don\u2019t follow a strategy to study RC for 3 days, and then switch to studying Critical Reasoning or Quant without completing RC.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The only <u>exception<\/u> would be if you are extremely weak in a particular topic. For example, if a student\u2019s starting percentile in Reading Comprehension is 25 percentile then the student should put in an additional 25% to this time estimate (for RC only). The same holds true if you are truly weak in GMAT Quant. Let\u2019s call this factor Confidence Building Time (CBT). CBT can take a value of 0.0 or 0.25 (more on this later).<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"time-required\">ii. TakeAway \u2013 it\u2019s not about completing a course but about reaching a level of competence<\/h4>\n<p>On the basis of the principle above, a diligent student seeking 100-point improvement should be able to do so by using a data-driven&nbsp;online course in as few as 80 hours. Similarly, a 200-point score improvement would require 160 hours of effort using the same online course. Now, why do you need to spend more time on the same course to attain higher score improvement \u2013 because acing the GMAT is not about knowing the content, it is about mastering the application of content.<\/p>\n<p>The extent of score improvement depends on the extent to which you master the application of content.&nbsp; Mastering application requires revising the same course material multiple times, understanding the nuances, and ensuring that you don\u2019t make the same mistakes again.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13800\" src=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/GMAT-Resources-Improve-GMAT-Score-.jpg\" alt=\"GMAT Resources Improve GMAT Score\" width=\"579\" height=\"318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/GMAT-Resources-Improve-GMAT-Score-.jpg 960w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/GMAT-Resources-Improve-GMAT-Score--300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/GMAT-Resources-Improve-GMAT-Score--768x421.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 579px) 100vw, 579px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>iii. Putting it all Together \u2013 A rule of thumb for time requirement<\/h4>\n<p>Putting everything above together, here is a simple formula to estimate the time required:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Time required (in hours) = [Target GMAT Score \u2013 Starting GMAT Score] X [ 7\/10] X [1+CBT]<\/span><\/h6>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Where:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Target GMAT Score = final score that you desire<\/li>\n<li>Starting GMAT score = Starting score on an official mock test<\/li>\n<li>7\/10 = 7 hours of effort for every 10 point score improvement<\/li>\n<li>CBT = Confidence Building Time factor; its value can be 0.0 or 0.25<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>Step 3: Decide on a mechanism to track your improvement<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-13802 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/gmat-progress-regular-interval.jpg\" alt=\"gmat progress regular interval\" width=\"329\" height=\"329\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/gmat-progress-regular-interval.jpg 540w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/gmat-progress-regular-interval-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/gmat-progress-regular-interval-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 329px) 100vw, 329px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Once you have all your scores and you have scheduled enough time for your preparation it is time for you to get studying. While studying you must regularly track your improvement. Note, regularly does not mean \u201cconstantly\u201d; rather it means that at well-defined intervals. Some students, anxious by nature, start taking weekly mock tests \u2013 a practice that is extremely counter-productive early on during your preparation.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h4><strong>What are you really tracking?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<h6>Quite Simply \u2013 To what extent have you improved your ability to apply the concept?<\/h6>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Very often students are extremely confident about a particular concept but don\u2019t do as well when that concept is tested on GMAT. The reason is while they understand the concept they lack the ability to apply it, and therefore it is a best practice to keep tracking your understanding at regular intervals.<\/p>\n<p>Tracking alone is not sufficient. You must act on the information that you get from tracking. If you are weak in a particular topic you must go back and revise it. Once you have done so (revised the weak topic) you must again check how much that revision has helped in your ability to solve questions on that concept. You must improve until you reach your target ability level in each sub-section and section.<\/p>\n<p>To execute the plan effectively, you must devise a mechanism to track and get feedback. For e-GMAT students, you need not look any further than feedback that you will get at the end of the application files, practice quizzes, and quizzes in Scholaranium.

Two things jump out from these data points:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>This student is seeking an extremely high score improvement \u2013 250 points on a scale of 805 or 84 percentile points (91 \u2013 7 = 84).<\/li>\n<li>This student is likely weak in all the three sections.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>A Verbal Driven Strategy makes more sense here<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This student\u2019s starting score is 405 (Q67, V77, DI66) \u2013 a Q67 is 6 percentile, DI66 is 10 percentile whereas V77 is 32 percentile. While this student is weak in all three sections it is quite evident that this student\u2019s relative strength is Verbal. Therefore, a Verbal driven strategy makes more sense here i.e. we would aim for higher scores in Verbal than in Quant or DI. Why \u2013 because for students weak in Quant or DI, it is easier (comparatively) to improve GMAT Verbal.<\/p>\n<p>The recommended break up for 655 would then be a V85 (94th percentile), Q83 (80th percentile) and DI79 (76th percentile).&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>3.2 Estimating the Amount of Time Required<\/h3>\n<p>Using the formula described above, the time required to improve from a starting GMAT score of 405 to 655 (250 points) should require the following amount of time:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><u>Baseline time requirement<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"height: 113px;\" width=\"407\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"301\">Starting GMAT Score<\/td>\n<td width=\"301\">405<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"301\">Target GMAT Score<\/td>\n<td width=\"301\">655<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"301\">CBT Applicable<\/td>\n<td width=\"301\">Yes, since the student is quite weak in both Quant and Verbal<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"301\">Medium of Learning<\/td>\n<td width=\"301\">Data-driven online course<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Overall Time Required (using online courses) = [655 \u2013 405] X [7\/10] X [1+0.25] = 218.75 hours ~ 220 hours<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>NOTE<\/strong><\/span> &#8211; The same student would require <strong>375 hours<\/strong> when studying using books.<\/p>\n<h3>3.3 Creating a GMAT Study Plan<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-13807 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/gmat-study-plan-e1532350401853.jpg\" alt=\"gmat study plan\" width=\"330\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/gmat-study-plan-e1532350401853.jpg 330w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/gmat-study-plan-e1532350401853-300x181.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 330px) 100vw, 330px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At this point, this student needs to take a few other decisions:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Which GMAT section to study first \u2013 Verbal or Quant?

Hence, this student should start with GMAT Verbal. This student should start with Sentence Correction, reach at least 80 percentile ability in Sentence Correction, then move on to Critical Reasoning (reaching 70 percentile ability), and finally study reading comprehension. To learn how we decided the SC\/CR\/RC percentiles, visit the article \u2013 how to score V40 on GMAT verbal.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>3.3.2 Studying for Quant \u2013 Selective focus<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Contrary to GMAT Verbal in which this student aimed for 85 percentile, this student needs only 43 percentile in GMAT Quant. Hence, the student does not need to study every section in GMAT Quant. The 80 hours for Quant should ideally be distributed between three sections \u2013 Number Properties, Algebra, and Word Problems, without spending much time on Geometry and Advanced Topics (P&amp;C, Probability, etc.). In fact, studying every section in Quant may be counterproductive as this student may not be able to achieve the level of mastery needed in the required sections.<\/p>\n<h3>3.4 Tracking Score Improvement?<\/h3>\n<p>As mentioned in section 3.3 \u2013 the best way to track improvement is by using <a href=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/what-are-ability-quizzes-2\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ability quizzes.<\/a> Ability quizzes provide much more accurate ability estimates <a href=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/why-take-ability-quiz-if-i-have-mocks\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">than mocks do<\/a>.&nbsp; The best thing is in addition to providing a reliable estimate of your ability, ability quizzes also provide <a href=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/leverage-analytics-to-identify-your-weakness\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">useful insights<\/a> into the areas to focus on to improve your ability to the next level. &nbsp;Hence, it is not surprising that e-GMAT\u2019s Scholaranium is <a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/reviews\/other\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\">rated higher<\/a> than GMAT Prep mock tests on GMAT Club.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em><strong><span class=\"TextRun SCXW35404176\" lang=\"EN-US\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW35404176\">P.S. &#8211; If you have any queries regarding the study plan, do write to us at&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><a class=\"Hyperlink SCXW35404176\" href=\"mailto:support@e-gmat.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"TextRun Underlined SCXW35404176\" lang=\"EN-US\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW35404176\">acethegmat@e-gmat.com<\/span><\/span><\/a><span class=\"TextRun SCXW35404176\" lang=\"EN-US\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW35404176\">&nbsp;along with the plan that you create for&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><span class=\"TextRun SCXW35404176\" lang=\"EN-US\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW35404176\">yo<\/span><\/span><span class=\"TextRun SCXW35404176\" lang=\"EN-US\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW35404176\">urself<\/span><\/span><span class=\"TextRun SCXW35404176\" lang=\"EN-US\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW35404176\">.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><span class=\"TextRun SCXW35404176\" lang=\"EN-US\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW35404176\">We will be happy to assist you in acing GMAT!<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13806\" src=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/gmat-success.jpg\" alt=\"gmat success\" width=\"666\" height=\"381\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/gmat-success.jpg 945w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/gmat-success-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/gmat-success-768x439.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 666px) 100vw, 666px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"500-to-700\">4.
