People who achieved 700+ on the GMAT, how much studying did you do?

Question

Harshal G · Accepted Answer

I started with a 610 on my first mock and had about 2 months before the real thing. Since my Quant was already strong, I focused almost entirely on Verbal, especially Sentence Correction. I studied 2&ndash;3 hours daily using the MGMAT Verbal guide,  Mentr me, GMAT Club practice sets, and reviewed answers in-depth.
Instead of doing hundreds of random questions, I picked around 600&ndash;650 hard-level questions, tracked my mistakes, and reviewed each one properly. I also took a few free mock tests from Manhattan Prep and Experts Global, and even used the one-day free GMAT Club mock access just to test stamina.
I ended up scoring 700 (Q50, V34). Honestly, what helped most was slowing down and focusing on accuracy, not volume. If you&rsquo;re aiming for 700+, quality review is way more important than how many questions you finish.
Stay patient&mdash;slow, steady improvements add up more than you think.
