Hello guys,
I am relatively new to GMATclub, and i need some help.
I am planning to give GMAT in the first week of March and i intend to apply to MiM for an intake of Fall 2020.
Background - 1.2 years of work experience from a top IT firm. I have been an above average student throughout until my 12th grade, where some family problems created a huge set back and i couldn't perform. Due to which i have a year back too. But i managed to improve my CGPA from 5.05 to 9.30. I have participated, won and many debate and elocution competitions, organized college fests and have been the school president for 2 consecutive years.
I have no international experience and i feel my background is quite flat. Being over-ambitious, that i am, i plan to apply to at least 3 top MiM colleges, including INSEAD and HEC.
I have just recently started preparing, before preparation my mock score was 260 and after preparation of about a week and a half, my scores increased to 620.
In the next 3 months, i hope to score around 710-730.
Do you think i am missing the point and being too ambitious? Or are there people who have had an normal background and still managed to get in the Top B-schools?
Also, is MiM worth it?
Thanks
Nupur.

Hi Nupur,
First off, since you're interested in some highly-competitive Programs, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile and plans. Those Experts should be able to answer your Admissions questions and help define the specific areas of your profile that could use some improvement. There's a Forum full of those Experts here:
https://gmatclub.com/forum/ask-admissio ... tants-124/
Many GMATers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time before they hit their 'peak' scores, so giving yourself another 3 months of study time is a smart choice. Now you have to focus on learning and practicing the proper Tactics and your improvement in those areas will depend a great deal on the study materials that you use.
1) What study materials are you currently using?
2) Going forward, how many hours do you think you can consistently study each week?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Nupur1995 - Welcome to GMAT Club. Increasing your practice test score from a baseline 260 to 620 is indeed impressive. To answer your question, I would say that it's ABSOLUTELY possible to increase your score from 620 to 730+, if not more. Typically, test-takers take 3 months for GMAT preparation and several of them score 740-760+. Therefore, your goal is highly probable. That said, you have to be very structured and strategic at that score level.
For motivation, I would recommend that you read a few success stories available in our forum; these stories highlight the highs and lows of the GMAT experience.
