Admission 2022

Understood. If you need any advice regarding your GMAT studying, feel free to reach out.

Hi JyotiChauhan,

Studying for the GMAT now - far in advance of when you will actually "need" your Score - is a smart choice. The amount of additional study time that you might need will depend on your Score Goal and how you are performing on your practice CATs/mocks. Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

1) How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) Are you planning to apply to any other Schools besides ISB?

Hi, I will answer the question in that order.
1. I study for 15-16 hours minimum every week.
2. I have used Manhattan
3. I had only taken initial mock test to assess myself. Since then I planned to finish the syllabus before appearing for my next mock test
4. I am planning to score somewhere between 730-770.
5. Although, ISB is my target college. I won’t mind applying at foreign universities too, if there is a scope of scholarship.

Hi JyotiChauhan,

If you are planning to apply for next year's intake, that is 2022 intake, then you have to be ready with the score by 2021 September itself as the application process starts this year itself. Even for ISB 2022 intake, the Round-1 deadline will be in Sept/Oct 2021.

So, it's better to finish off your prep asap and be ready with the score. Once you are done with your GMAT, you will have to work on your essays, SOP, LOR and the other application related things required by the schools. You might find these articles helpful.



A good GMAT score can fetch you a scholarship if you apply in the early rounds of the admission process. I can help you in a much better way if you can give me a little background about your current preparation strategy. This will help me to suggest you a better plan of action on how to proceed further. We could get in touch over a call and have a detailed discussion on the same. You can use the below link to get in touch with me.

Hi JyotiChauhan,

To score at a high level on the GMAT, you have to have a variety of skills (more than just content knowledge) and the only way to properly assess whether you have those skills or not is to take FULL-LENGTH CATs under realistic conditions AND at regular intervals.

If you have been studying for approximately 3 months, then we really need to know how well your overall skills have developed in that time. If there are issues with how you work through the GMAT, then the sooner we know about those issues, the more time we will have to fix them. As such, I strongly recommend that you take one of the Official GMAT CATs sometime soon (perhaps this weekend) - and take it in a realistic fashion (take the FULL CAT - with the Essay and IR sections, at the same time of day as when you'll take the Official GMAT, etc.). Once you have that Score, you should report back here and we can discuss the results and how you might best proceed with your studies.

Sure, I’ll take a mock this weekend to assess my preparation level.

Hi Jyoti. We both are in exactly the same boat. I’m interested to know how long did it take you to go through the Manhattan gmat books and what source do you use for practising high level gmat questions? Thanks

Hi Shikhar,
It actually took me long, since I practiced questions after every topic and revised regularly.

It just depends on how quickly you learn along with the prior knowledge about the subject.

Good luck!
