595 → 605 → 615 → 695
That’s been my GMAT journey over ~1.5 years.
I work in a government PSU, so prep was always alongside a full-time job. Took long leaves before my 2nd and 3rd attempts, pushed hard, went through almost every resource I could find… and still landed at 615 in the 3rd attempt. That one stung.
What changed for the 4th attempt might sound counterintuitive. I didn’t do any prep. No studying / mocks. I just showed up with a 1 hour quant revision. I also switched my sectional order right there in the exam. Not saying you should do the same. And somehow, it clicked!
The one thing I did do differently between my 3rd and 4th attempt (20days apart): I focused on myself a bit more. Daily workouts. Daily meditation on the Medito app. Better headspace. I walked into the exam calmer than I had in any of my previous attempts.
If you’re stuck in that loop of “I’m doing everything right but the score isn’t moving,” I get it. It’s frustrating in a way that’s hard to explain.
Anyway, this is me signing off from GMAT prep. Grateful, tired, and honestly relieved.
Happy to answer anything if it helps someone still in the grind.
Update: My detailed score came in. I got Q90, V84, DI79
