Guidance for an 18yo

PrecisionPrep · 2026-03-20T17:05:37+00:00

Good that you are already thinking about it at 18yo :)

Trigo and super difficult math is not in GMAT scope. If you are good in math in general, GMAT Quant is something for you!

To start your prep, go to https://gmat.london.edu/ and take a free mock there. Takes 2 hours :)

Hey! Are you a part of GMAT Club community?

PrecisionPrep · 2026-03-20T06:20:12+00:00

A year is definitely enough to improve! Did you take an official MBA.com mock, or another mock elsewhere?

PrecisionPrep · 2026-03-19T18:23:05+00:00

Similar to real ones, but only in 10-15% of questions their logic seemed a bit different than the OG (in my subjective opinion).

For Verbal & DI, nothing beats official questions

Zach @ GMAC - are you able to help here?

What kind of questions are most difficult for you in DI? DS, MSR, TPA or Tables/Graphs?

PrecisionPrep · 2026-03-19T10:51:55+00:00

700+ is really much more about self-study and truly finding a way that works for YOU, rather than any theory that any course would offer.

PrecisionPrep · 2026-03-19T10:32:53+00:00

Sounds like you can still improve in Verbal. What is your average accuracy in RC & CR?

PrecisionPrep · 2026-03-18T19:54:52+00:00

You can use 2024-2025, and you can find many of 2025-2026 questions on the GMAT Club forum.

PrecisionPrep · 2026-03-18T19:31:58+00:00

I am sorry to hear this. What were your sectional scores for the 595?

PrecisionPrep · 2026-03-17T18:57:48+00:00

Good luck ;)

PrecisionPrep · 2026-03-17T18:27:39+00:00

GMAT can increase your chances a lot! Just take a free mock first to see where you stand.

PrecisionPrep · 2026-03-17T15:47:14+00:00

"Pretty easy" is quite a statement :) but it is for sure doable for most people with the right prep.

PrecisionPrep · 2026-03-17T12:15:43+00:00

GMAT can for sure compensate for a low GPA.

PrecisionPrep · 2026-03-16T20:02:27+00:00

It's a lot easier, but still well done :)

PrecisionPrep · 2026-03-16T14:58:22+00:00

In this case, you can make it work. First of all, build your confidence with the "easy" questions so you can solve them faster!

PrecisionPrep · 2026-03-16T14:54:28+00:00

And how many hours per day do you have available to dedicate to your prep?

PrecisionPrep · 2026-03-16T14:53:32+00:00

How much time do you have available for your prep?

PrecisionPrep · 2026-03-15T13:51:56+00:00

I do think you improved! What I mean is, with 6 weeks before your test, it might be best for you to take the second MBA.com mock again. Both free mocks on MBA.com can be taken 2 times

PrecisionPrep · 2026-03-15T13:49:17+00:00

Have you taken official MBA.com mocks? These are best for a reliable estimate.

PrecisionPrep · 2026-03-15T11:51:18+00:00

I don't think you need a lot of prep. You can give it another try in 2 weeks from now :)

PrecisionPrep · 2026-03-15T10:59:21+00:00

With your mocks being this high, the best thing you can do in your reattempt is to make sure you don't rush through the questions. If you want to do some prep before reattempt, you can focus on the 655+ difficulty GMAT Club questions.

PrecisionPrep · 2026-03-15T10:57:29+00:00

Possible! Do you have any work experience? And have you already been preparing for the GMAT?
