Dear Experts,
I am contemplating on going back to University to pursue an MBA/Executive MBA after a long gap! I took my masters in 1985 and
my purpose of taking GMAT is not for seeking better position at corporate level but rather for personal growth and to take my business to the next level.
In addition, I am passionate about creating platform to bring in some positive changes to the people around me and do feel the need for a credential to boost my confidence level. All these years I could not consider this dream of mine due to responsibilities but now the time has arrived to take on a new adventure since my son has moved on to first year university!
Could some of you please guide me with a suitable strategy to prepare for the GMAT?. I am keeping aside 6 months to prepare from scratch.
It would also be beneficial if I could join some prep course as well. Also, I read somewhere it is hard for people over 50 to score high in GMAT? Is it realistic to aim for a score of 600-650?
Your suggestions would be highly appreciated
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Ashok

Welcome to GMAT Club. It is great to have someone as experienced as you here and I’m hoping that you can both learn and also lend a hand to others.
First of all, Many executive MBA programs offer waivers for GMAT to older applicants. I’m not sure which programs you’re applying to but even the top programs such as booth and Kellogg, we will often waive the GMAT for those with over 15 years of work experience because they understand how daunting that can be and do you really need someone that distinguished to be worrying about high school math . At the same time, if you have kids, then you will probably all cut up after a year of teaching your own children at home. 😂
Anyway, first of all I would suggest looking at the programs you considering to see if they would be open to waving your GMAT score requirement. Many of them a very open and friendly and it shouldn’t take long to gather that information. They would love to hear from you and if you email them or call them, they will be happy to give you direct answers. Executive MBA programs are different from full-time and a lot more accessible.
Asked to studying for the GMAT, it all depends on where you are right now. If you do decide to take the GMAT, you can expect to improve about 100 points and possibly more with additional effort. So I would probably take a diagnostic test and figure out where are you are right now.
Only after you do these things, I would then consider taking the test.
