Hi Nikhilssingh,

Revise your notes - Focus on strengthening what you have already covered; now is not the time to chase new material.
Stick to official resources and mocks - These are the closest in tone, difficulty, and format to the real test.
Align your routine - Get your body clock in sync with the actual exam slot (sleep, meals, focus hours).
Stay positive - Confidence and calmness are often underrated but can make a big difference on test day.

For deeper guidance, here’s an 8-minute video we’ve prepared on final-phase strategies:

All the best!

Hi All, me exam is scheduled for 30th Oct, and I got this email from Pearson right now : Action required: Your exam appointment must be rescheduled

Can someone please opine on a few things:
1. We are working to clear out your existing appointment. In most circumstances, you can select a new appointment for your exam on our website - what does this mean? They mention "We are working to clear out your existing appointment"
2. Last line of the email states : Please allow one business day before trying to choose a new appointment date through our website. - one BD, does this mean I can reschedule post the day close today?
3. Do they charge for the reschdule considering it to be coming from their end?

Any additional information is welcome!

TIA!

Dreaming of a top MBA but worried your test score might hold you back?
The MBA admissions landscape is changing, more schools than ever are recognizing that numbers alone don’t define potential. Instead, they’re looking for professionals who bring real-world impact, leadership, and unique perspectives to the classroom.

For the equation to hold good x must be less than 5. However any set of numbers in that range will hold the equation true. The value of X in the first option has set of all negative numbers. Set of all negative numbers is still in the range of X<5. So it will still hold good

Hey!Took the GMAT today and I thought I was doing super good in quants that I thought I’d get Q90 because the questions were super easy . I don’t know how did I ended up getting Q76.
Verbal was brutal and I thought my score will tank in it but V82.
DI was the worst of all with D72. I don’t even know what did I do there.

I have used up all my strategies and honestly I don’t know what else to prepare. Was preparing from Expert’s Global and GMAT Club tests but I don’t know which approach to use anymore. I plan to take the exam again as soon as possible (preferably within 2 months). Any help would be appreciated!

I have the perfect article for you to check out:

Today, Wednesday, October 22, 2025, I was scheduled to take the GMAT online test at 10:00 AM.
At 9:30 AM, I opened the exam and went through all the checks with the proctor. Once they were finished, he said, "OK, everything’s perfect. Now relax and good luck."

Not even a minute later, before I could see the first page of the GMAT, I got a warning saying a "virtual machine" had been detected.
I didn’t even have time to call the proctor before everything shut down. Too bad I didn’t have, and still don’t have, a virtual machine (I didn’t even know what a virtual machine is).

I tried to rejoin the test, but it said, "Your test is suspended." I wrote to customer support and called, but no one was able to help me (I’m still waiting for a response from customercare@mba.com).

I haven’t tried copying anything, and I don’t have any virtual machines on my PC (it must have been a false AI detection).
Does anyone know how to help me? I need to run the test by tomorrow, otherwise I won’t have time to send the application.
Please, if anyone has any contacts or knows how to do this, please help me.

Thanks in advance.

They will get back to you eventually, but from my experience there is nothing you can do to speed it up unfortunately. You are dependent on their speed and have to wait patiently for an answer from them

Hi guys can anyone help with this question
If a man sells x oranges for a dollar, he loses 45 percent. By how much percentage should the man reduce his cost to make a profit of 10 percent on selling 2x oranges in a dollar?

A. 25%
B. 50%
C. 75%
D. 150%
E. 300%
https://gmatclub.com/forum/if-a-man-sel ... 22816.html

I dont understand why its 1/0.55 not 1/0.45. The question says he looses 45% which means the cost price is 0.45 . Please help

loss of 0.45 from 1 is 1-0.45 = 0.55
