310 official score; V154, Q156

GRE General

Hi everyone,

I have given both GMAT and GRE but am nowhere near my target score. I am not sure how to go ahead from here.

I started my GMAT (classic) prep last year August. My first cold mock was 480 (Q31, V25). I appeared for GMAT classic in December and got 680 (Q48, V35).

However, GMAT exam changed to the focus edition after January. So, I had to work hard on DI. My first attempt of GMAT focus was 535 (Q81, V78, DI70).

I studied for a few months and gave the GMAT focus in August only to get 605 (Q81, V82, DI77).

After this, I thought I’d try GRE since quant will be easier. I was so wrong! I studied for the GRE for a month but got 310 (Q156, V154)!!

I am already applying to colleges with 680 but I really want to improve my score in a 1-2 months so that I could update my score to these colleges.

What do you I should do? Now, I’m wondering that improving verbal on GRE is tougher than I had thought and I won’t know what happened with quant unless I get the official report.

Should I try another GMAT attempt in 2 months or so or try GRE again?

Hi, you could follow one of the study plans right? Either the overwhelmed plan or the one month plan

I don’t know much about GMAT @Leaderboard do you have any insight?

You only took the GRE once so what makes you think that you cannot improve? What were your GRE practice scores?

Thanks for replying. My practice scores were around 308-315.

I was wondering which exam has a better scope of improvement for me, say in 1-1.5 months?

So it’s not like you were doing better on the practice test. I do think you have significant chance of improving on the quant for the GRE, but that’s me.
