Hello,
I have finally decided to give my first attempt to Gmat! Because, this is something that's i cant keep my mind off and every now and then my mind wanders to my Mba dream.
> Background: I have appx 5.5 years of experience in IT. I work 5 days a week and 12 hours per day including travelling which makes my day really short.
Additionally i am enrolled into some PG course due to my interest which keeps running parallelly mostly on one weekend in a month.
> My goal: I want to achieve 720+. And my target school is Insead mainly for next upcoming session.
> Exam : 1st week of august
> GmatPrep score for 1 sample test fully attempted : IR = 3 (ttl qs: 9) ; QA : 29 (ttl qs :37); V:17 (ttl qs: 40). (for AWA- i didn't got any score in the result) [score came out as 400, which i know is .....] But just to inform, i gave this test directly after years and without any look on any kind of formulas etc so as to see how much i am at now. Also, due to my speed i have to guess some qs at end of QA and V and missed 1 question in both section due to time elapse.
I have started prep from last week, mostly trying to study around 1.5 hr once i am back post office but a day or two , i kinda missed due to reason like - tired/hectic schedule/pg course assignment etc and felt bad
. I started with 1st module of mgmat quant and i think i am going bit slow but this book seems good for building or refreshing your basics.
I have collected study material - mgmat study guides, power score cr, gmat club qs - taken from online sources(mostly versions are a year or two older)
I would be indebted to good people like you who have given wonderful and practical suggestions to so many people who were in dilemma like me.
Kindly suggest -
> study plan (preferably for 1.5 month) [daily/weekend)
> should offline study with books would be good or online courses (online courses are costly:(, if yes then preferably which considering quality n cost)
> any suggestion or any advice to proceed further.
Eagerly waiting for your response!!
Thankyou!
Regards,
AB

Hi, there,
Preparing for gmat vis-a-vis a full-time job is quite challenging due to work pressures. You can search for study plan in forums like magoosh.com. Studying with plain books is optimal if you practice the concepts and keep an error log as you complete the concepts. For practice, you the gmat club's tags wisely to build stamina. Best of luck for your gmat studies.

Hi AB,
Raising a 400 to a 720+ will be a challenging task - and you're going to have to make significant improvements to how you handle BOTH the Quant and Verbal sections. All of that work is going to take time (almost certainly more than the 1.5 months that you're looking to spend). As such, you should consider either redefining your score goal or redefining your timeframe.
1) What are the application deadlines for INSEAD after Round 1?
2) Are you considering applying to any other Business Schools?
