Hi, you meant the ’current streak’ in performance overview pane?
If so, you just have to start solving by using the forum timer.

Hello! I want to start preparing for GMAT , and wanted some recommendations on which book/resource i should read first to build my foundation strong, I read that Manhattan books are good for RC, however few suggest GMAT OG books should be my savior for all 3 sections, there are plenty of other resources too, which one to use and when ? I am practicing RCs from Gmat club ,but I need to learn the techniques/ methods on how to solve certain type of RC’s, or Quant questions. Please help

Hi does anyone know how to get gmatclub streak reinstated?

here’s a plan - see where you stand. A. Independent of, and in parallel, to B
- Building (packaging) your profile by going through reflections*
- Finalizing CV*
- Developing pointers for Recommenders*
- Figuring out financials

B. Key Milestone*: GMAT / GRE - you needed to have got this done by May’26 latest, including any reattempts
- if you are an ORM, then please target 695+/330+
- scores are just a defense to help you not get rejected (but that is not the same as getting selected)

C. Dependent on B:
- Research & shortlist schools*
- Networking with students*
- Attending webinars / events*
- Drafting essays using the insights from reflections*
- Securing LORs*

* denotes time-consuming activity

Hi all
though I’m not here for GMAT but it’s really helpful for my Law entrance’s critical section,
so I hope we’ll progress together for our respective fields

Hi All,
I am through with GMAT . What the next steps are ; or If there is a section on GMAT club where it is outlined what next, appreciate it.

Hi vijayapragati,

If you're getting scores like 745-755 on your official practice tests and if the GMAT fee isn't an issue, you should absolutely take the GMAT. You can always apply later, after a few years (GMAT scores are valid for 5 years).

Hey guys, Do you need an external camera for the GMAT Online exam that continuously shows the whiteboard and desk during the entire exam, or is the normal MacBook camera enough?

From what I understood online, you only need to briefly show your desk and whiteboard at the beginning. I couldn’t find anything clearly stating that both must remain visible on camera during the whole exam.

Or do you actually need to buy an extra external webcam for that?

Worried that a low GPA or GMAT/GRE score may hold you back from top MBA programs?

A low GPA or GMAT/GRE score does not automatically end your MBA chances.
AdComs look at far more than numbers alone, including work experience, leadership, career growth, recommendations, and overall fit.

Hello,
Hope you are doing well. I’m new here.
I’ve already taken the GRE and TOEFL.
While I’m waiting to start working on my essays, I’m preparing for the interviews. I’m still concerned about the Wharton TBD. I would d be interested if you know of any study groups.

I’ve been lurking here for a while and noticed there aren’t many tools for practicing specifically the Kira Talent/blind online interview many schools are starting to use. I personally did the Kellogg Kira interview without much preparation (thankfully still got in).

I’m a developer, so I built a tool specifically for this setup: Ready on Record. It works like the real thing, you get a random question you haven’t seen before, prep for a few minutes, record your answer in one take, and get an AI-generated scorecard with scores on clarity, structure, content, and delivery.

I’d genuinely love feedback from this community since you’re exactly the people who’ve actually sat through a Kira Talent interview and know what it feels like.

Happy to answer questions about how it works and thanks for your time!

While a low score can make things harder, it does not automatically take you out of the application process. Here’s how you can still get admitted despite low GMAT score - Join YouTube live with Jenifer, MBA Expert https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRz31UL8Nls
