How are your applications going? Did you submit the application already?
_________________

I am done with the essay part.

Now, i am waiting for online assessment link to come ASAP.

Is this video assessment the same as the KIRA questions?
_________________

Yes. A link for KIRA questions to complete the online assessment will be received within the 24 hrs of application submission.

I am fine tuning the essays, will most likely end up submitting on the last day.

Got it. FYI, we have compiled KIRA questions over time and you can find them here https://gmatclub.com/forum/compilation- ... 86246.html

Thank you so much

Just an FYI, KIRA links for me was mailed after 18 hours of application submission and KIRA assessment needs to be submitted before the 11th septemeber deadline. So please plan accordingly

Are you done with KIRA assessment? Please share your experience and tips on how to prepare for it?

Posted from my mobile device

Not yet. I have recieved the link doing a bit of practise on it as it keeps on giving new questions everytime you practice. I will probably do KIRA assessment tonight or tomorrow. Will share my experience.

I took it early. :p
Kira Expierence:
- First two question were general why mba, why now and why oxford?
-Next two questions were behavioural generally applicable to corporate set up like how will you convince your manager for new Idea, conflict resolve etc
-Last question is very absurd: Explain what animal you would like to be and why?
