I Scored 720 After 3 Months of Focused Self-Study , seems Intense right? but It Was All About Smart Practice
I started with a baseline score of 600 and gave myself three full months to prepare. I studied 1.5 hours a day on weekdays and around 4 hours each Saturday and Sunday. My main resources were the GMAT Official Guide, GMAT Club questions, and some YouTube videos for Quant basics.
I also used a free mocks available online , which helped structure things early on. My rough weekly plan was:
- Week 1–2: Focus on Quant fundamentals + untimed Verbal
- Week 3–4: Mix in moderate difficulty questions + start error logging
- Week 5–6: Begin timed sets on stronger topics
- Week 7–8: Take full-length mocks every 2 weeks + focus only on weak spots
It’s better to solve fewer questions and review them well than to grind through hundreds without learning from mistakes. Keep showing up every day—progress comes faster when you’re consistent, not perfect.

I Scored 760 in 6 Weeks with a High-Intensity Plan. This Was My Prep Strategy.
After getting a 630 on my first mock, I gave myself 6 weeks for a full push. I studied around 3–4 hours a day with help from an online course. My focus was on Data Insights and Verbal timing, which were my weakest areas.
I also used Mentr-Me’s free mocks and sectional tests, which helped me structure my prep week by week. Every week, I took one full-length mock, but I didn’t stop at just the score. I tracked my accuracy by topic—Sentence Correction vs. CR vs. RC—so I knew exactly what to fix. Once I saw steady improvement in untimed sets (around 80–85% accuracy), I switched to timed practice, especially for Verbal.
One mistake I avoided: doing 100 questions just to “get through material.” It’s way better to solve fewer and review deeper. That’s where real progress comes from.
Stay focused and don’t worry if your mock scores stay the same for a bit—the jump often comes after a flat phase. Keep going—you’re closer than you think!
