Scoring a V42 is very impressive.<\/h2>\n<p>Bruno \u2013 Thank you Rajat.&nbsp;Before starting preparation,&nbsp;I was more concerned about my Quant score&nbsp;as&nbsp;I felt that Verbal was my stronger&nbsp;section.&nbsp;I was educated in a convent school. Moreover, my college was situated in&nbsp;Bandra, Mumbai and conversing in English was the norm there. I never faced issues with English grammar. In fact, my office colleagues used to ask me to proofread the content of the e-mails. So I assumed,&nbsp;I should do well on the Verbal section of the GMAT.&nbsp;However, I got stumped while attempting Verbal questions from Official Guide even after preparing for 2 weeks. I realized I need to change my approach to improve.<\/p>\n<h2>Rajat \u2013 So, you scored a 540 in your first mock. Did you go through the Official Guide before or after the&nbsp;mock?<\/h2>\n<p>Bruno \u2013 I took the mock before going through the OG.&nbsp;The score&nbsp;was way below my expectation. I&nbsp;was&nbsp;targeting the Executive MBA program of IIM Ahmedabad,&nbsp;and&nbsp;therefore needed&nbsp;a minimum GMAT score of&nbsp;550. I thought&nbsp;I would score even less on the actual test day as the actual test day is more stressful. So, I wanted to target at least 650 on the GMAT.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Your GMAT score is accepted for admission into 140+ Business Schools in India including top schools like IIMs and ISB, learn more about the <a href=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/what-is-scope-of-gmat-in-india\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">scope of GMAT in India<\/a> in this article.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Rajat \u2013 What did you do next to achieve your target score?<\/h2>\n<p>Bruno \u2013&nbsp;I took a brief hiatus from my office to prepare for the GMAT&nbsp;full-time.&nbsp;I&nbsp;was searching for GMAT prep courses and started considering e-GMAT. I went through the reviews and most of the positive reviews were for e-GMAT. Next, I registered for your free trial.&nbsp;I was very comfortable with the content. Moreover, I was taking the GMAT in one month,&nbsp;<b>so&nbsp;felt that going for the best would be the wisest choice<\/b>. That\u2019s how I started my GMAT preparation.<\/p>\n<h2>Rajat \u2013&nbsp;Breaking the 700&nbsp;barrier&nbsp;in just 1 month is&nbsp;a remarkable feat!&nbsp;How&nbsp;did you go about preparing for the GMAT?<\/h2>\n<table style=\"height: 141px;\" width=\"438\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" colspan=\"3\">\n<h5><b>Breaking the 700 Barrier&nbsp;&#8211; 1 Month Study Plan for GMAT 730<\/b><\/h5>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Week<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Daily&nbsp;<\/b><b>Study Hours<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Focus Areas<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Week 1<\/td>\n<td>12 hours<\/td>\n<td>Building core skills in Verbal<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Week 2<\/td>\n<td>12 hours<\/td>\n<td>Building core skills in Quant<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Week 3<\/td>\n<td>6-7 hours<\/td>\n<td>Develop&nbsp;a logical approach to&nbsp;solving questions.&nbsp;&nbsp; Practice Scholaranium and OG Questions<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Week 4<\/td>\n<td>4-5 hours<\/td>\n<td>Analyze each question in detail to refine&nbsp;the&nbsp;logical approach<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<blockquote><p>Time management in the GMAT is critical for a good GMAT score. <a href=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/gmat-timing-strategies-why-gmat-time-management-is-important\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Learn the best time management strategies<\/a> in this article.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Bruno \u2013 I finished the concept files&nbsp;of Quant and Verbal in 2 weeks. I observed&nbsp;that the questions in Scholaranium were comparatively more difficult to solve. Since I crammed so many concepts in a short period of time, my brain was saturated. Hence, I took a break and tried Scholaranium questions the next day, and I started performing better.&nbsp;I made sure&nbsp;I reached a good level of accuracy in all the sections. For example, I was at 92%ile&nbsp;in SC Scholaranium.&nbsp;Next,&nbsp;I went back to the OG. I did 40 questions for Verbal and Quant each. I didn\u2019t put a lot of pressure on myself, simply prepared in a planned and consistent manner following the study plan that I had created.<\/p>\n<h2>Rajat \u2013 How did you change your approach to solving Verbal questions after going through e-GMAT\u2019s course?<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-14867 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/shutterstock_444061129.jpg\" alt=\"breaking the 700 barrier\" width=\"503\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/shutterstock_444061129.jpg 500w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/shutterstock_444061129-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 503px) 100vw, 503px\" \/><\/h2>\n<p>Bruno \u2013&nbsp;I realized that I had to understand the logic behind the questions. Once the&nbsp;pre-thinking&nbsp;was done, something which e-GMAT uses extensively in its concepts, it was only about looking at the answer choices and getting the final answer.<\/p>\n<p>For example, while going through Reading Comprehension questions in Scholaranium, I used to&nbsp;summarize&nbsp;everything in my head and&nbsp;then&nbsp;answer the questions. But this approach did not work. So,&nbsp;I started summarizing each paragraph and&nbsp;noting down the important takeaways,&nbsp;then I would combine all of them and reach&nbsp;a conclusion.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Attend our free <a href=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/master-pre-thinking\/?id=14&amp;channel=blogsin_article&amp;utm_source=blogs&amp;utm_medium=in_article&amp;utm_campaign=free_session&amp;utm_content=CR2&amp;utm_term=blogs_in_article\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\">webinar on Pre-Thinking<\/a> and learn how to tackle 700+ level GMAT CR Questions with ease.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The shortcut driven approach which tells you to read 20% of the passage and start answering questions does not work correctly. It is a waste of time.<\/p>\n<h2>Rajat \u2013 How did this approach of writing down the summary help you in other sections?<\/h2>\n<p>Bruno \u2013 This approach&nbsp;helped me in the AWA section&nbsp;but in the reverse order. The argument was presented and I wrote down statements and based on each I made up a paragraph and added real-life examples and&nbsp;ultimately,&nbsp;I got a perfect 6 on the AWA section.<\/p>\n<h2>Rajat \u2013&nbsp;How many hours did you put in every day?&nbsp;Did you follow a particular routine?<\/h2>\n<p>Bruno \u2013 Initially I studied 12 hours a day&nbsp;for 2&nbsp;weeks where&nbsp;I focused on building concepts. In the next week,&nbsp;I studied for 6-7 hours and focused on Scholaranium. The last week was mostly spent in reviewing the weak topics and mistakes in questions.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-14866 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/shutterstock_242954878.jpg\" alt=\"breaking the 700 barrier\" width=\"487\" height=\"487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/shutterstock_242954878.jpg 500w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/shutterstock_242954878-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/shutterstock_242954878-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 487px) 100vw, 487px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I studied 3-4 hours per day in the last week.&nbsp;I followed the following schedule:&nbsp;During the first 2 weeks, I would start at 7 am and study until 1 pm. Take a&nbsp;1-hour&nbsp;break and resume from 2&nbsp;pm till 5 pm. Again, a&nbsp;1-hour&nbsp;break followed by studies from 6&nbsp;pm to 9 pm. After the 2 weeks, I would study in the morning hours and spend the afternoon reviewing the&nbsp;logic behind the questions I answered incorrectly.&nbsp;<span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"height: 203px;\" width=\"515\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" colspan=\"4\" width=\"624\"><strong>Bruno&#8217;s Daily Schedule for 4 weeks<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" colspan=\"2\"><strong>Week 1 and 2<\/strong><\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" colspan=\"2\"><strong>Week 3 and 4<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>7 am to 1 pm<\/td>\n<td>Study Concept Files<\/td>\n<td>9 am to 1 pm<\/td>\n<td>Scholaranium and OG questions<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\">1-hour Break<\/td>\n<td colspan=\"2\">2-hour break<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>2 pm to 5 pm<\/td>\n<td>Study Concept Files<\/td>\n<td>3 pm to 6 pm<\/td>\n<td>Review mistakes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\">1-hour break<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>6 pm to 9 pm<\/td>\n<td>Study Concept Files<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 aria-level=\"2\">Rajat \u2013 How did you evaluate the questions&nbsp;you answered incorrectly?<\/h2>\n<p>Bruno \u2013 Scholaranium provides an&nbsp;explanation for each answer. So, I would compare my&nbsp;response&nbsp;with the correct answer and understand the logic used to arrive at the right answer. This way I understood the flaw in my approach. Doing so helped me understand the minute details in each question that are necessary to choose the correct option. These details might be minute,&nbsp;but it makes a huge difference in understanding the logic to arrive at the right answer.<\/p>\n<h2>Rajat \u2013 A lot of our students preparing full time, face a problem with keeping their focus on the preparation. How did you keep yourself focused?<\/h2>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-14868 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/shutterstock_596287175-e1535529783341.jpg\" alt=\"breaking the 700 barrier\" width=\"240\" height=\"286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/shutterstock_596287175-e1535529783341.jpg 301w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/shutterstock_596287175-e1535529783341-251x300.jpg 251w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/h2>\n<p>Bruno \u2013&nbsp;Keeping myself&nbsp;focused&nbsp;was&nbsp;also a big&nbsp;challenge&nbsp;I&nbsp;faced. There were&nbsp;times when I used to feel saturated&nbsp;and&nbsp;couldn\u2019t focus. So, at those times I would take a short break and indulge myself in activities that I liked. I liked listening&nbsp;to&nbsp;music and playing short games. It would refresh my brain and let me focus on the preparation.<\/p>\n<h2>Rajat \u2013 Did you attempt any mocks before taking the actual GMAT?<\/h2>\n<p>Bruno \u2013 I took just one mock before preparing for the GMAT. My whole strategy was to build core skills and understand the logic to solve problems. Under the pressure of a mock,&nbsp;I might not have performed to the best of my ability. Hence, instead what I did was attempt OG questions online. They have a timer with every question. So, I started timing myself. My&nbsp;approach was&nbsp;simple:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Build&nbsp;core skills<\/li>\n<li>Improve&nbsp;timing<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This approach worked for me. The main purpose of a mock is to build focus during the test. I was diligent during my preparation and had imbibed the focus required during the test.<span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The e-GMAT course helped Bruno prepare&nbsp;at his own pace with a comprehensive library of concept files.&nbsp;Scholaranium provided a true assessment of his skill level throughout his&nbsp;preparation. Based on skills data from Scholaranium,&nbsp;Bruno improved his weak areas and felt confident before taking the GMAT. The result was a 730 in GMAT.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you&nbsp;are also&nbsp;planning&nbsp;to ace the GMAT&nbsp;and breaking the 700&nbsp;barrier, and don\u2019t know where to start,&nbsp;write to us at&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:acethegmat@e-gmat.com\">acethegmat@e-gmat.com<\/a>.
