Hello everyone, I am Purushottam and not very recent member to this platform. Guys, I already have purchased the OG 23-24 for the preps.
I want to brush up on my Quant abilities and strategies. I’ve watched the videos of GMAT Ninja on Youtube. Apart from this, I really need to scale mountains of skills and strategies in Verbal and DI. Can anyone please, suggest me a really excellent platform to move further with the preps??
I am in the beginning phase of my preps. Also, I am struggling badly with CR. If anyone is up for forming a group for studies, I would really appreciate that(majorly for CR and RC).

I just gave an official GMAT focus mock test and scored 485. It was mainly due to poor time management. I have also got alot of questions wrong approx 10-12 wrong in each section

How long should I schedule my GMAT to be prepared for atleast a 650+ score considering I will be able to study 2 hrs on weekdays and 5-6 hrs on weekends.

sure exponent in minus, means reciprocate the entire digit. So for the above we are left with 2 to the power 4 , divided by 3 to the power 3, and then on the lower, we are left with 3 to the power 4 and 2 to the power 3. and then when you get that simply, reciprocate the lower and cross multiply. You will get the answer as the one marked.

You get a scratch code in the book. You can use that to activate the DI section on mba.com. You’ll find all 4 kinds of questions in the DI prep section. The book only contains DS questions because of the limitations of printing graphs and tables in the book

Hey, kaziislam,

Thank you for your post!

Firstly, let me say that embarking on your journey to pursue an MBA at 41 highlights a commendable dedication and enthusiasm for professional growth. You can definitely set an example for many young people at the onset of their careers. Back to your profile, with a comprehensive background in computer science engineering and a wealth of experience in software development, project management, and operations within the public sector in Bangladesh, accentuate your proficiency in navigating complex projects, showcasing a unique blend of technical and management skills that are highly valued in business leadership roles.

However, given your substantial industry experience, an Executive MBA (EMBA) program would be exceptionally suited to your profile. EMBA programs are designed for professionals like you who have a wealth of experience and are looking to augment their skills with advanced business and management knowledge. These programs are tailored to ensure that you can continue working while studying, thus enriching your learning experience with real-world applications.

Many EMBA programs do offer GMAT waivers considering the applicant’s work experience and professional accomplishments. However, a strong GMAT score can enhance your application, especially if you’re aiming for Top universities in the USA; to learn more about EMBA programs, you can check out this blog- https://www.mim-essay.com/best-executiv ... n=Mainchat

Now, coming back to MBA, Scholarships are either merit-based or financial assistance offered for international students, those in need of financial aid, and those demonstrating exceptional leadership potential. There is no such fixed age limit for MBA scholarships in general; however, it’s crucial to thoroughly research the financial aid options available at your target schools. Each institution has its unique set of criteria for scholarship eligibility, and being proactive in your search will help identify opportunities that align with your profile.

In targeting prestigious U.S. universities for your MBA, focus on those known for embracing diverse student backgrounds and offering robust programs. Look for programs that value leadership experience, have a global perspective, and offer modules on public administration and PPPs, given your career trajectory. Networking with alumni and attending information sessions can provide deeper insights into how each program aligns with your career goals. To learn more about the Best MBA programs in USA 2024, you can check out this blog- https://www.mim-essay.com/mba-abroad-in ... n=Mainchat

Your pursuit of an MBA with a rich background in technology and project management will further furnish you with the business acumen necessary to navigate the challenges in your current role and equip you with a global perspective and more profound management skills. Finally, For free resources, you can use the GMAT PREP AI tool to find enough online resources to help you. Here, you can practice unlimited GMAT Focus Edition questions! GMAT PREP AI tool- https://mentr-me.com/gmat-practice?utm_ ... n=Mainchat

I feel that with a strategic approach to your GMAT preparation, thoughtful school selection, and a compelling articulation of your career goals and past experiences, you’ll be well-positioned to embark on this exciting next phase of your professional journey.

Sorry for the long answer, I hope this helps! :)
Cheers!

Hi everyone, I’ve started preparing for my GMAT which o hope to sit for mid May but I’m very shocked at my performance of the practice exam 1. I was not able to complete any of the sections in time and had to put random answers. This is particularly confusing for me in the quant section because I’m an engineer and have a great quant background. What am I doing wrong?

The knowledge needed in quant in gmat is quite different. The thought process is also quite different. If you wna save time, it’s better to enroll in some course, especially for quant, if you want to save time.

Hey, SandraRugina,

Thank you for your post!

Given your strong background in engineering and quant, it’s understandable that the time management issues and unexpected performance on the practice GMAT exam would be both surprising and frustrating

As someone who is quite adept with such problems, I’d like to offer you some tips on how to improve your performance.

- Recognize that time management is essential in the GMAT exam, and practice under timed conditions to improve speed and efficiency.
- Develop a systematic approach to both the quantitative and verbal sections, focusing on one problem type at a time to increase speed and accuracy.
- Learn to recognize when a question is taking too long, and develop the discipline to move on after a set time to avoid random guessing at the end of a section.
- Maintain a positive mindset and focus on enhancing your test-taking strategies, particularly time management, and practicing your identified areas of weakness.

Remember that progress towards your GMAT goal is incremental. Each practice session and mock exam brings you a step closer to mastering the test. For more detailed guidance on preparing for the GMAT, you can check out this blog: on a Detailed Guide to GMAT Practice Test - https://www.mim-essay.com/gmat-practice ... n=Mainchat

Stay focused, leverage your strengths, and let your determination drive you forward. Good luck!

Sorry for the long answer; I hope this helps! :)
Cheers!

I would disagree with you. While I can’t comment on the minimum score or if there even exists one such, I can say that the entire package matters ie, score, past academics, references, essays, and of course the gmat score. While someone with a credible work ex. may get by with an average gmat score and for a rank fresher a good gmat score becomes imperative for getting through a good school or even a scholarship. But then again this isn’t really a norm for I’ve seen folks with software patents working in google with 6+years of work experience getting rejected from good schools for a very average gmat score. So it’s not a one-size-fits-all approach and every student is judged on multiple factors

This is not correct at all. GMAT matters; It matters a great deal to scholarship opportunities (see those going from 740 to 750 just to have a chance at a top school’s scholarship).

Without undermining your capabilities, a jump from 635 to 705+ within 7 days is a tall order. Ideally, you need to sit down with a coach in 1-2-1 sessions to figure out where could you make improvements and then practice, practice...

Hey, Akash_sharma,

Thank you for your post!

As for your question, the admissions committee seeks talented students from diverse academic and professional backgrounds. They value applicants who can display leadership and teamwork skills. The committee reviews all applications holistically, and no single factor decides the outcome. While the GMAT score required for a scholarship varies from program to program, it is not the sole criteria that the admissions committee considers. Usually, a high GMAT score can improve the chances of receiving a scholarship, but schools do assess work experience, academic record, and extracurricular activities while awarding scholarships. If you want to know more about Scholarships Abroad country-wise and their eligibility, you can refer to this blog:

Hey, TargetUSMBA2027,

Thank you for your post!

For someone using an MBA to switch Careers, the major focus is always on why switch? Why an MBA? How an MBA from this specific business school could significantly help in their career progression. Before anything else, make sure you have answers for all of them.

Now that it’s done, we can work further on the following strategies to enhance your chances of being accepted into T15&20 schools,

1. GRE Retake: Firstly, put your GRE score, then check the average GRE scores, through previous Class profiles. If your previous score falls short, consider retaking the GRE after adequate preparation. A higher score can prove your commitment to improving yourself and enhancing your academic credentials.

2. Professional Development: Undertake additional coursework or certifications related to your current field and your desired transition into consulting. Courses in business analytics, strategic management, or financial analysis can be very helpful, showing your readiness to bridge the gap between IT and consulting.

3. Extracurricular Leadership: This is one of the most important aspects that is often ignored! Take on leadership roles in volunteer organizations or professional societies. Leading a project or initiative that shows measurable outcomes related to community service or professional development can highlight your leadership skills and commitment to making a difference.

4. Narrative and Goals Clarity: Refine your application essays to clearly articulate your unique value proposition, your rationale behind transitioning into consulting, and how an MBA from a specific school aligns with your short-term and long-term career vision. Also, emphasize how your experiences will contribute to diverse viewpoints in classroom discussions and team projects. A compelling narrative that connects your past experiences with your future aspirations can significantly strengthen your application.

I understand your concern about the timing of your career transition. However, it is not something that could be a roadblock in your transition; yes, definitely, it would be easy to connect your past experiences to a similar post-MBA goal. However, a compelling narrative on your rich professional background can be an asset, and bringing a depth of experience and a mature perspective to your future consulting job role would be critical.
