Hi Everyone,
This is the debrief of my GMAT journey, which started a year ago. To give some context, I come from a commerce background and am a Chartered Accountant in India with over 4 years of experience in the Big 4. I started my prep in August of last year, hoping to clear the exam before the year ended.
I was in a major rush for my first attempt. I didn’t purchase or practice with any of the official mocks. I took a few GMAT Club mocks, was scoring around 650, and scheduled my exam for late December.
On test day, I completely froze. I hadn’t practiced using the laminated scratchpad and marker, and the test center anxiety completely overwhelmed me. The questions felt impossibly difficult, so I wasn't surprised when a 545 flashed on the screen. Like many of you, I considered myself a decent student, so this was a tough pill to swallow.
I gave myself time to reset and decided to enroll in a very well-advertised coaching program, thinking I just needed structured guidance. It turned out to be a complete waste of two months. It was marketed as a comprehensive package, but they simply taught replica 500-600 level official questions and expected us to intuitively know how to solve 700-800 level questions based on that foundation. I cut my losses, shifted back to GMAT Club, and took all the official mocks alongside 15 Experts Global mocks. My average on the official mocks was 685–705, and my Experts Global average was 655. Feeling ready, I booked for late July.
My section order was Verbal -> Quant -> Break (10 mins) -> Data Insights. I felt incredibly in control during Verbal and Quant. Then DI hit. The set felt like an endless string of 700+ level questions, and the Multi-Source Reasoning (MSR) felt like an 800-level monster. I completely wasted 10 minutes trying to solve the MSR and got every single question in that set wrong. I realized too late that it wasn't worth the time investment. I ended up having to rush the last 3 DI questions and got 2 of those wrong as well. I scored a 595, way below my mock averages.
I was devastated but refused to give up. I had exhausted all my mocks, so I was flying blind. I studied diligently alongside work for a month and sat for the exam again.
This time, my approach was entirely different:
By the time I selected the answer for my final DI question, my clock had exactly run out. To my absolute surprise and relief, I scored a 655 (V85, Q81, DI81).
I know 655 isn't my best performance, but I am incredibly proud of it. Going from a 50-point improvement over 6 months to a 60-point leap in just one month showed me how much strategy and mindset matter on this exam. I am officially calling it on the GMAT exam and channeling all my energy into my college applications. I would love to connect with anyone who is currently battling the GMAT or navigating the application process! On a sidenote, I need some application guidance myself.

This time, my approach was entirely different:
- No Target Score: I completely cleared my mind of any target score. My only goal was to solve the exact question in front of me to the best of my ability.
- The MSR Pivot: I made a strict rule before walking in: I would not attempt the MSR questions initially. I committed to guessing/skipping them to focus my energy and time on the rest of the DI section, only returning to the MSR if time permitted.
By the time I selected the answer for my final DI question, my clock had exactly run out. To my absolute surprise and relief, I scored a 655 (V85, Q81, DI81).
I know 655 isn't my best performance, but I am incredibly proud of it.
