How I scored 700 on GMAT (With Only Two Months of Preparation)

[@Jeffrey67114]

I want to thank you for this video! Gave me a lot of direction to start my prep. Ended up with a 770 :) cheers!

[@TheLegend-yl6eu]

WOW 770?!!! I tried 3 times and finally reached 710, 770 is so far away. Good job 👍🏻

[@dhvanilraut3879]

how difficult was it?

[@anushkaojha007]

You scored 770????

[@Jeffrey67114]

@@dhvanilraut3879 the verbal was definitely difficult! And just time in general haha. I’d say quant is fairly simple though.

[@ayushpal6531]

😱😱😱🥲🥲🥲good job

[@Officialsearch21]

Scoring a 700 on the GMAT! Skip this entire video because it goes away back than 2 months. This girl has a strong educational background that developed during her childhood. She didn't have to spend much time on the basics so she spent 2 months on the really hard parts because that's what she needed. So if you found yourself struggling through college but still made it congrats, I was on the same boat. You have to suck it up and study much longer than 2 months. Plain and simple! Just to reach an example. I can work on my abs for 2 months and have them show. But I only had 18 percent body fat and only had only had to bring that down to 11. I did that very quickly. Poor educational background is like trying to get abs as fast as me in the same time frame when you have 28 percent body fat All in all, she's was smart before those 2 months. I know people who got a 740 and a 760 only studying for 1 month. So don't expect the same plan as her.

[@prakharraj8674]

True. It took me much longer to score 690

[@johnsilvauwagboe3458]

True, I have been studying for 9months now and am still struggling with it.

[@nonochanyeppoyo2490]

Josue rodriguez tell it like it is. I like that.

[@chaostade4087]

well, its not only about inteligence. 1 part is english language, which for some is redicoulously easy depending on where they grew up. Idk where is she from but she speaks fluently. If you english is fluent you only have to study math. This kind of math, ofc need you to be clever, but its more about methodology, its not high level math. The most important thing on gmat is time management, and that again depends on the person. Some have it in them, some need to work hard to get better on it.

[@pran6663]

dude chill 700 isn't even that high score

[@noknokstar3381]

Mariana : How I scored 700 on GMAT? Marina : I studied at least 20 hours a week in 2 months. Tip = Study!👍😎

[@veerlegeraets146]

Please do more videos on GMAT! I love this one! Maybe also one with tips for GMAT when not native English speaker? 😊

[@linguamarina]

goo.gl/1TXwxJ - you can take lessons with GMAT tutor, he's amazing. Also I'll have another video on GMAT soon

[@charorencebrown]

Maybe you should also tell upfront that your undergrad (according to your Linkedin) is "Mathematical Methods in Economics".

[@aitorjara100]

Why would that make a difference on GMAT preparation? Maths in GMAT are pretty basic and are nothing new that they haven't taught you at elementary and secondary school. Actually the quantitative part is the easiest part to improve. The verbal part is the thickest and hardest part of the GMAT and it's way more difficult to improve.

[@nadiab.8869]

Yeah.. I wonder.. Why would being used to dealing with numbers and to mathematical thinking help for the GMAT??? No... really, I don't know...

[@Officialsearch21]

Nadia B. I was thinking the same thing too! Some people are ridiculous.

[@aitorjara100]

You guys haven't seen a GMAT exam in your entire life, otherwise I can't believe you. Maths at GMAT are BASIC maths, if you struggle with that part you really need to do a review on everything you've learnt so far.

[@Officialsearch21]

What was your score?

[@simrankaurvirdi9146]

Taking GMAT in 2 days.. wish me the best 😌.. lil nervous

[@sergiogonzalez726]

GOOD LUCK

[@miftahurrahman2629]

[@franksalazar4576]

How did it go?

[@ThomasMueller999]

With this amount of preparation, I would absolutely expect to obtain a high score.

[@nadiadansani2139]

I’m applying to two schools in Texas, two schools in Arizona, and my Alma Mater. I’m planning to take it January 29th, and I’ve been going on and off since summer I want to stay studying. The two apps I use are GRE Vocab, and Vocabulary Builder. One you have to pay like 5.99 for. I’ve been watching a ton of KZbin videos as well. Bryan Tong was Super helpful as well as Firm Learning were super helpful. I highly recommend watching their videos. A lot of schools are offering waivers right now, but I have average grades, so I wanted to challenge myself, and take it. I also did the GMAT mini test from a website that was like 7 questions from the official GMAT page. I did horrible on my ACT’s, so I’m not expecting myself to do well on the GMAT, but I’ll comment my score when I find out 😃 Thanks Marina!

[@smallfeet2950]

How much you scored? Did you get the college you wanted?

[@PerezGouge]

Hi! Please do more on GMAT. I will be taking my test soon and love your style of presentation!

[@willrobinson3988]

Thanks, with more than a little help from this video (and that on the AWA - SUPER helpful) I got 720 and AWA 6.0 in 67 hours from finding out what the GMAT was to getting my provisional scores!

[@FelippeMedeiros]

With all my respect Marina, but you couldn't remember the O.G. Name at first?!

[@sedsed8755]

Yep, that's curious Good tips though

[@FelippeMedeiros]

+Sed Sed here goes the best tip... gmatclub or beatthegmat forums... from there, start flying solo

[@ElSalvador1Chance]

Totally agree with you Felipe! this video is more about GETTING THOSE APPS then actually learning anything about GMAT!!!

[@jesusosegueda1699]

hahahaha That's what I said!!

[@aqs7808]

[@marioalll]

Maybe it will sound silly, but the first thing that any student should know is his or her real command of the language. Native english speakers can achieve a 700 or more easier than a non native speaker. The other thing is that there are non-native speakers who have a solid knowledge about english receiving a good education in english at school. The guys who have a low or intermediate level are in serious disadvantage regardless of their reasoning abilities. One thing that someone told me about this issue is that if you lack confidence about your level, you should take the toefl first and get 26+ in the Reading section. If you've got less than that score, you may have serious problems to understand the verbal questions in gmat, in that case, you would fail the exam not because of a lack of reasoning or understanding of concepts but because of a lack of command of the language. The other important point that nobody mentions is the fact that if you want to get a higher score, you should practice difficult questions with time, 700 level questions, so the OG practice just help you to start practicing but not for improving your performance.

[@prernasahni8313]

Most of the native English speakers think that their English is amazing, whereas when it comes to tests like GMAT or GRE, most of them fail terribly due to their overconfidence

[@nsrobinhood5300]

If you're searching for the app it's called Ready 4 GMAT (she talks about it in another video) and it's free to download and $13.99 for the 1600 practice questions.

[@drparadise831]

Fast and excellent You're the best I have seen,Marina.

[@anuragprasad123]

Thank u.. beautifully presented!!:)

[@leftbrainprep]

Using the "GMAT Official Guide" is crucial!! It's very, very hard for test prep companies to creates questions that resemble the questions you'll see on the real GMAT....

[@singh07clcc]

usually i don't like videos on KZbin but your video really really deserves super likes......the way u said like video was awesome and thank you so much for such a great information

Thanks for posting very helpful

[@dingjoey6968]

Good job. And I’m so jealous of you guys for not being a Chinese student cuz GMAT 700 is the basic line for Chinese students lol. We have to get more than 720 even 740 to compete with other insane Chinese students.

[@bharadwajsangaraju1326]

I know because I am from India. Scoring 700 on GMAT is pretty common in India too. I scored 750, but was still rejected from MBA programs here. I lack quality work experience and my profile is rather over-represented- Indian IT male. Enough said.

[@komal146]

Yeah that's a catch 22. We apply for these programs to have quality work ex, and their perquisite needs big brand names on our resume. I'm not even an engineer and still hurts my application.

[@shaxter]

YOU ROCK!

[@sambridhip]

I have math anxiety, and the quant section is what scares me the most. I haven't registered for the exam yet and I have been preparing for months now but it still feels not enough preparation to get going. But I am planning to take the test on November. Fingers crossed!

[@alualulas8510]

hi did you pass it ?cause I have the same problem with maths, really curious to know.

[@dhruvbhanushali6070]

How'd it go?

[@TheMrFabian1]

What is more important? The overall score or the "balance" of Q and V? I scored 700 today, but it is not balanced. While my Q is less than what I would perceive as satisfactory my verbal was in the 98. percentile. Does this hurt the "value" of my test?

[@dulcinedjetouan2944]

Great video! I wanted to ask you which books you used to study!? Linguamarina

[@اسامةالشمري-ه6م]

My friend is oil engineer they ask him to pass the SAT exam he studied hard to pass this test but he didn’t get the score that they need iWashington state! The Michigan university accepted the Toefl exam 89/120, after that he got the master then PhD in oil engineering he is now working in Research Institute.. If you speak English if you good with math means we don’t need those exams

[@tl2369]

[@TheRocknrolla12]

The only explanation for your scoring 700 on GMAT with two months prep is that you are exceptionally intelligent and hardworking. And 99% people like me who are mere mortals just doesn't have the ability and resilience to get there. Thus I am couch surfing at my parents home ..while you are taking decisions affecting thousands if not millions :)

Hey Marina, thank for the informative video.. was OG the only reference material you used for practice or any other additional materials you referred to ?

[@aks0801]

Hi, when you mentioned writing ABCDE on the writing pad multiple times. Did you do this before the timer on the math and English sections started? i.e. did you write it in the time that you get when the screen gives you a few minutes to read instruction or during the break between the verbal and quant section? Thanks!

[@hemokitty11]

I spent about 3 weeks. Most of my practice exams were in the range of 300 to 600. Suprisingly, when I did the actual exam, I got 760. So don't trust the numbers on your practice exam!

[@mysterytopia]

how did you score 760 despite getting 300-600 in prep part. Was the actual exam really that easy?

[@DicksonPau96]

Not likely

I believe 700 is too low of a target score for foreign admission students . Its a decent score but not that I would work hard to score 700. I would want to aim 740+ that would be goal to push.

Why did you decide to write your marker board comments during the recording instead of beforehand?
