It really depends on how sharp your basics are and how long it’s been since you studied under time pressure.
- Most working professionals need 12–16 weeks of steady prep (8–10 hours per week) to reach a 680+ score.
- Focus early on identifying your weak section—Quant usually needs speed, Verbal needs clarity, and Data Insights requires familiarity with charts and logic-based questions.
- Start mock tests by Week 4 to catch blind spots early.
- Many candidates make the mistake of over-prepping Quant and neglecting DI, then struggle with timing late in the prep.
- A steady plan with 2–3 mocks a month and regular revision often works better than last-minute sprints.
If your prep plan is consistent and includes all three sections, 3 to 4 months is usually enough.
