Hello Everyone, I'm From India.

BBA 3rd Year.

Today I've taken my GMAT Exam and my Unofficial Score is 570 (Q43, V25). (I've accepted the score).

I've Expected At least 670.

I've Prepared ofr GMAT from June 2020 to September 2020. After that I've stopped preparing. At that time prepared using Experts Global, Manhattan Guide for SC, PowerScore CR Bible. I've written 3 mocks of Experts Global. I've got (440, 510, 480). Scores are very low because i've never completed the sections on time. In all 3 three exams, I've never completed one section fully on time.

after my exams, I've again started to prepare for the GMAT in January 2021. (using only OG, Youtube Webinars, and Kaplan GMAT 800 Book)

My Mock Test Scores are: (GMAC Mock Tests) (Tests 1-6, no test is repeated)
Date Total Sectional
16/01/2021 640 Q47 V31
23/01/2021 570 Q45 V24
06/02/2021 540 Q43 V21
15/02/2021 640 Q47 V31
22/02/2021 630 Q47 V30
10/03/2021 560 Q45 V21

I want to get into McGill MMF Program or HEC Montreal MSc Finance, 2022 Entry. 2022 Entry coz i want to work in finance for a year and then get into Masters.

I've already invested so many months in GMAT. we are already in mid-March. My final Graduation Exams are in May and also from now I should start searching for jobs.

What should I do now?

should I apply for UCD and Trinity or any other colleges with no GMAT requirements?

or

should invest more time in GMAT now?

or

Leave GMAT for now and prepare for GMAT in July or August while Working?

If I am not wrong your last mock test score is reflected in the current GMAT score . Since you have invested much in GMAT , I would advise to try one more time in 6-8 month time .

Hi VarunReddyVarala

Since you have invested so much time and energy so I suggest that you stick to the plan and give GMAT a final push without any further delay.

Your quant scores are averaging 45/46 and Verbal is around 30 (with a few exceptions). If you get Q-47 and V-30 then it will get you a score like 640 which would improve your chances to any school that you apply to

In addition, a score requirement for HEC and McGill would be around 680+ so that's possible if you can do really well in one of these two sections and that would depend entirely on your comfort level.

Let me know if we can help you with preparation. We offer tailored one-on-one classes and 70% of our students score 700 or above scores.

For free demo class, get in touch. :)

You may apply to those schools with no GMAT requirements but the b-schools that require GMAT have higher ranking; your GMAT score of 570 may not get you any scholarships in such schools, though you may be admitted in some top schools even.
This is how it works. High GMAT score suggests you have prove to possess the skill to be an asset in your business school, otherwise you have to pay the tuition.
So basically, the MBA tuition(in business-schools that require gmat) means getting you to pay thru your noses for having to learn what you could have learnt before the b-schools at far cheaper costs of MENTAL EFFORT and less than 1% of the b-school tuition.

If you can afford the tuitions hassle-free, I think you should go for it! Time is of essence. The earlier the better.
But if you cant afford the tuition, I suggest you take a year make more money from your music and prep for GMAT using one of the available verbal tools like M-GMAT and economist verbal. You may try less expensive verbal tools if you consider m-gmat prices high-handed(BUT IT'S ACTUALLY THE BEST!). TargetTestPrep is test running their verbal. I suggest TTP bcos of their extraordinarily organized tutoring system.
Follow what suits you.

Hey VarunReddyVarala

Basically, you are looking for a 100 point improvement. It can be achieved with a strategic approach on the test. Focus your energies on the questions you can comfortably solve. Remember to get 670, you don’t have to get every question right. So the key approach is NOT to get stuck anywhere. Don’t skip questions because you don’t have time. Skip those questions which you know you cannot solve and be honest there.

In SC don’t spend more then 50 secs to 1 min, in CR approximately 2 mins, and in RC a passage of 3 questions should not take more than 8-9 minutes. And finally in Math the max time is 2 mins - either you know how to solve it or you don’t - keep moving forward. Don't get Stuck anywhere - that is the Mantra. Do time based practice from the GMAT official guides. There are numerous practice questions available on MBA.com - try to stick to official GMAT practice questions as much as possible.

For any more questions or clarifications feel free to drop us a message on https://scoreleap.in/yourgmatprep, Our test expert will get in touch with you to clarify your doubts.

All the Best
