For many Indian MBA applicants, the default dream has long been a top US MBA. But as career goals, visa considerations, timelines, and global mobility priorities evolve, more candidates are seriously considering MBA programs in Europe.

Hi guys,
I am due to take my Gmat exam in 1.5 months. I did my first Kaplan CAT today and got a 630. Now my target score is above 700. Do you reccon a gain of 70 points +. is plausible or would you try and reschedule the exam to get some more time?
I clearly did a few big mistakes and my time management was probably not great, so clearly I know I can do a bit better...
Also I did not even start studying the IR part as a result I did pretty badly in it, does that count towards your score in the CAT exam?
Thanks for any advice!

while 1.5 months can be enough for some people to get 700, it really depends on how much of dedication you are ready to put.
But one of the best advice I got from pretty experienced people out here is that you should never take the GMAT unless you are absolutely ready.
Unless you have a stellar profile, rushing is almost never good.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Kaplan CAT usually underestimates your score, which is a good thing. The best thing to do is to take a GMATPrep mock and then prepare based on that. Knowing the splits, your strong/weak areas would help you plan better.
