I use SPAM.com for free essay reviews. Consultants are just too expensive for me.

You are posing a question to either a bot or a marketing executive 😁

My bet is on bot... 🤖

Rest seems ok but GMAT score is very very low (which is ok as you just started out).

Thanks, Manish (www.tutelagex.com)

Yes.


you should call/email and reach out to admissions committee. ISB’s team is quire responsive.


This will impact your chances. You should try to get experience letters from all the jobs. At least have some paper proof of your work (maybe salary slips/reliving letter/etc).
Additionally, if there is a genuine reason, try explaining the reason for the subjects you didnt clear. A strong story and essays can help. Reach out if you need help from alumni who have helped applicants from the past 7+ Years.

Different is the correct assessment.

Quant of EG is reliable
DI is tougher and slightly out of teh way but still ok

Verbal may not be adequate

But they are good value for money

Expert Global is good

My accuracy in RC is not improving what I have to do

13 question are correct out of 20 in DI still I am getting 93% same can happened on actual exam also

Hi everyone, i understand this is not the forum to discuss the following but would appreciate any guidance:

I gave an official GMAT FE mock test (paid) on GMAT club and scored 685 (DI score 83- 95th percentile)
But when I reviewed the test I realise I got only 11/20 correct in the DI section which did not seem an accurate reflector of the DI score and percentile I received.

Could anyone help me out figure out whether this is inflated due to some reason?
Or could the score/ percentile may be because the pool of questions only included Medium + Hard

Would appreciate any guidance on this as I’m having trouble figuring out where I actually stand currently (I have exhausted my official mocks already some time back)
This happened with me also. Whether in real GMAT exam if 11 questions are correct then we will get 95 percentile or not ?

with 13 correct yout DI score should be somewhere around 79 or 80

refer official Guide, Verbal Review and official questions.

Verbal is tricky so no source other than official source can help you much

with 11 correct, your score would be somewhere around 78 which is definitely not 95%ile... I think that score should be somewhere around 82 percentile

I feel score vs number of correct questions is not that accurate in GMAT Club when it especially comes to DI.

Hello, requesting a profile evaluation

Indian-Male
Age: 23
10th- 10 CGPA
12th- 91% MEC
BBA (Data Analytics and Digital Marketing)—9.75 CGPA IBS, Hyderabad

State-level badminton player under 18 and reached semi-finals in a state-level tournament (highest). Won several nationwide gaming tournaments during covid and currently bootstrapping an Indian-originated and based esports club. Also during 12th grade, I came 2nd in badminton inter-college tournament. Part-time and freelance hobbies such as video editor and content creator

3 years of work experience in a market research firm and got promoted from associate consultant to research consultant. With 40-plus market reports across various industries getting converted and published. Trained and mentored 8 associates in my team during my tenure. Although my role had a lot of data analysis-related projects, as this includes mostly primary and secondary research. Designed and published a hydrogen supply chain database across major countries for many consulting firms such as Deloitte and EY.

Would appreciate your thoughts on whether this profile for applying in Round 1 would reduce my chances in any way. Or should I reappear for the GMAT and aim for a better score and apply in round 2?

GMAT FE - 635

Planning for Indian B-schools for 2026 intake
