> While practicing OG RCs is the best practice, I think you should consider taking full length mock exams because *the exam pressure* does unimaginable things to the performance. Your intent should be to drive best possible score in overall GMAT than just being concerned about RC. So focus on Q+DI+V and not just RCs if you are considering taking exam in couple of weeks.
> To answer your last question, GMAT Club has (almost) everything so practcing official questions on GC is a good idea only if it’s in combination with practicing full length exams.
My bad, I didn't mean to say that I'm solely practicing the questions/passages. These are definitely being complemented with Mocks.

Since I felt that this variance is not ideal, my objective was to understand
1. How best to pull my scores and solve those hard ones on a consistent basis
2. What is the best source of the passages a couple of weeks before GMAT- OGs or the entire GC

Your response was helpful. I'll prefer OG hard. Thanks
My suggestion would be to focus on medium level questions the most

Two best levels to practice are
605-655
655-705

Any level higher than that may not be true reflection of majority of GMAT questions

Extracurriculars:

Queries:

You are one of the finest candidates as per criteria of ISB.

GMAT Score minimum 655... 675 will enhance your chances significantly

If you haven’t taken GMAT yet and are planning to start with GMAT prep then R2 seems a natural choice...

Im about to take gmat in a few days, but thank you, this helps!

Just wanted to confirm, any drawback I should consider if i go for R2? (In the case I don’t get my target score before R1)
You might find this article useful: Which round of ISB has best chances of admission?

Which college did you graduate from?

See if you can target 665+ on GMAT. If R2 is what it would take for you to achieve this score, so be it.

Name of institutions of BA? You are from humanities, so not from the most competitive pool of engineers. GMAT should be above 650 for sure. Thanks, Manish (Tutelagex.com)

HI Everyone,
I have several questions regarding the documents we are supposed to attach.

1) For 12th grade - there is a certificate required - but I only have my CBSE marksheet, can I upload the same for both the documents
2) For my college marksheet - I have one online-generated unofficial marksheet, can I upload that? Cuz the official marksheet is in physical form and not very scan friendly.
3) For my proof of income, what should I submit?

I am really struggling with these! If somebody could guide me, it would be very helpful!

This is regrading ISB application

@WA@wbt2764 - your profile shows potential!

Aim for a 675+ (GMAT) to strengthen your chances at ISB. ALso make sure to have a strong narrative covering your experiences, goals and how/ why ISB fits in now.

It would be ideal to apply in R1 if you can get the score in hand and also craft a strong application by then. If either/ both of these steps takes more time, R2 is fine. In other words, it's better to apply in R2 with a stronger score/ application than in R1 with a rushed-up or weaker one.

Regards,
Arvind (Founder, admitStreet)

Whenever you are in any such confusion, always write to the schools directly and this is for all schools. It is always better to have things on record from the school directly. This would avoid any stress later on. Hope this helps. Thanks, Manish, Founder - Tutelagex.com
