Dear All,
I scored 700 (Q49, V36, IR 4 and AWA 6) in GMAT online yesterday 6th August,2023. Finally in my third attempt, I was able to break the barrier of 700. I have started my preparation way back in 2018. I appeared twice in 2019 and 2020. My score was 560 and 640 respectively. It took me 5 years to score 700. Better late than never

. I was expecting a little more as in the mock my verbal scores were 38,40 and 44. Nevertheless, I was happy when the unofficial score showed 700. It meant a lot to me.

This forum has helped me a lot. I would like to thank all the experts whose explanations have enriched my knowledge.

I had the opportunity to interact with one expert. Unfortunately he is no more with us. I am thankful to
daagh .
egmat has been very helpful. I took a mentorship program, LMP.
E-gmat provided extended mentorship. The duration of the program was initially for only one/two months. However, I had to stretch it for 5 months, and I received numerous suggestions and feedback from Ms Rashmi Vaidya, the mentor, during this period. The way she pushed and the elaborate study plans she provided helped me a lot.
I have 10 years of experience in IT industry. I have average academics and do not have many extra curricular activities to show.
I am thinking to retake again in couple of weeks. Do you advise me to retake or to start application process. IELTS is also due. I am focusing more on 1 year course or the courses in which I can get some scholarships.
P.S. I am an Indian, 32+, male and graduate engineer.
Regards,
Arup
