Hello everyone, kindly guide me on the following queries:
- I am planning to take the GMAT on 15th July. Is this a good time to take the exam, considering the application deadlines of top Indian B-Schools?
- How much time is typically required to prepare the application for submission to an Indian B-School after taking the GMAT?
- Currently, I am following this strategy: first, I study the concepts, solve easy questions, review the incorrect ones, redo them, and then move on to difficult questions—repeating the same process until I complete the topic test. Is this the right approach? It feels very time-consuming.
- For Reading Comprehension (RC), I start by identifying the type of passage—whether it's a problem, change, or critique—to understand the main idea. Then, I read the first paragraph thoroughly, skim the second while focusing on contrast words and the direction of the argument, and proceed similarly with the rest of the passage. Finally, I read the last paragraph and then move to the questions, using elimination techniques to rule out extreme or out-of-scope options.
- I am struggling with Critical Reasoning (CR) assumption questions—they are taking up too much of my time. How can I improve in this area?
- What should be my plan to improve the Verbal section by the exam date? Could someone please guide me on what needs to be done?

1) I am planning to take the GMAT on 15th July. Is this a good time to take the exam, considering the application deadlines of top Indian B-Schools?
Yes, you have ample time. Just give your best on the GMAT on July 15th.
2) How much time is typically required to prepare the application for submission to an Indian B-School after taking the GMAT?
Usually 3 weeks will suffice.
3) Currently, I am following this strategy: first, I study the concepts, solve easy questions, review the incorrect ones, redo them, and then move on to difficult questions—repeating the same process until I complete the topic test. Is this the right approach? It feels very time-consuming.
Good strategy. It's the right approach. Use the error log, and first master the easy questions, as GMAT is very harsh when you get an easy question wrong. That affects your score more than getting 3 or 4 hard questions wrong.
4) For Reading Comprehension (RC), I start by identifying the type of passage—whether it's a problem, change, or critique—to understand the main idea. Then, I read the first paragraph thoroughly, skim the second while focusing on contrast words and the direction of the argument, and proceed similarly with the rest of the passage. Finally, I read the last paragraph and then move to the questions, using elimination techniques to rule out extreme or out-of-scope options.
Get into the habit of reading fast, and thinking fast, the information written should flow into your brain, solve as many RCs as possible, practice untimed for a week, then slowly bring the timing to average of 2 mins/question.
5) I am struggling with Critical Reasoning (CR) assumption questions—they are taking up too much of my time. How can I improve in this area?
Start by solving easy problems. Read the theory first before attempting to solve questions.
6) What should be my plan to improve the Verbal section by the exam date? Could someone please guide me on what needs to be done?
Remember GMAT tests your verbal reasoning skills not grammar skills, that said, trust in logic, keep building logic and be alert and always keep your brain in top shape. All the best. you have ample time to prepare. Start solving the easy problems first.
All the best !
