FACTS & FIGURES
Our Students GMAT Score Improvement
+ This chart tracks the score progression of several students over the course of 13 weeks, starting with some entering with a few weeks of prep already behind them, while others began fresh. Some students initially had scores below 405 but made significant improvements through diligent study, resulting in higher scores at the start of their first mock exam. Students tend to hit two major plateaus in their GMAT scores. The first occurs around 575-595, which i believe is the ceiling for those relying solely on subject knowledge. At this stage, further improvement requires a shift toward approach and strategy rather than just content knowledge. The second plateau appears around 635-665/675, marking the limit of what strong approach and strategy alone can achieve. Breaking past this range and reaching 705+ requires near-perfection in at least one section, meaning a scaled score of 87-90.
Section Breakdown
Quant improvement becomes a grind beyond a certain point, whereas Verbal (VR) and Data Insights (DI) offer a more efficient path to score gains. Schools generally don’t care about a high Quant score once you’ve crossed 83/84, so shifting focus to Verbal & DI is often the smarter route to a 705+.
Section Order Preference
The GMAT is sectionally adaptive (your performance in one section will affect your next), so be strategic about the order in which you choose to tackle the sections. Test anxiety can also cause you to make silly errors through the first few questions, this is especially common with QR Question #1, and that can snowball throughout the exam. Additionally, consider how long your mental stamina holds up; verbal can be particularly draining, so planning your breaks wisely can make a difference.
The most common section orders remain Q-V-DI and V-Q-DI, with breaks typically taken after the verbal section—at least according to the data from my research analysis.
