Hi,
GMAT first timer Prep. Scoring around 595 in official mocks and 6 Full length Mocks of GMAT CLUB with 2.5 months of prep.
I am aiming for R2 top colleges.
With a profile of Engineer + MBA + 5.5 Years of work experience in core Marketing and IT consulting, I am seeking a second MBA and considering a move abroad. But I am running out of time. I know I started late, but I need to give the official GMAT to be able to apply this year itself - not looking to postpone.
Suggestions needed on::
1) When should I give the Official GMAT? (Any scope my score improves on the big day?
2) What Colleges should I aim if I get a score around 615 -635 as they won't suffice for INSEAD,LBS etc?
3) Any suggestion on how to improve. I make silly mistakes at times as well in Quant.
P.s - For Last two I tried changing order - I feel it is better (Vb-Q-DI)
Thanks

Hi Apoorv0194,
I want to address your issue with silly mistakes.
Avoiding those common pitfalls during GMAT practice requires a combination of thorough preparation and careful test-taking strategies. First, ensure you're deeply familiar with the types of questions and common traps set by the exam, which can often help you anticipate and recognize key constraints. Developing a consistent strategy for tackling each question type can also be beneficial. For instance, always read the question twice before solving it, and underline or note key words and constraints to avoid misinterpretation.
For calculation errors, practice with an error log where you record and review your mistakes to identify patterns or frequent errors. This method not only helps in correcting repeated mistakes but also sharpens your attention to detail. Additionally, during practice tests, simulate the actual test environment to build stamina and adapt to the time constraints, which can help mitigate oversight due to pressure. Lastly, it’s essential to stay calm and composed during the test, as anxiety can lead to careless errors. Techniques such as deep breathing or brief meditation before the test can aid in maintaining focus and clarity.
Here is a great article you can check out for some more advice:

Hi Apoorv0194,
Here is a point-wise response:
1. Give the test when you are closest to your target score. However, if you are not achieving your score and also absolutely wish to apply, December first week should be the latest so you do not miss important deadlines.
2. Before applying, please write to your target schools to check if you are eligible to apply considering you already have an MBA. You should target programs in Spain, Germany, and Italy. You may also look at mid ranked schools in France.
3. Here is what you should do to improve:
a) Revisit your fundamentals and clear up any lingering gaps. If certain topics still feel uncertain, consider a structured prep resource; while official material is great for practice, it is not ideal for learning concepts from scratch.
b) Go through your previously incorrect questions and understand why you missed them. Turning those mistakes into lessons is key to real improvement.
c) Incorporate high-difficulty questions from official or trusted sources to stretch your thinking and boost confidence.
d) Keep practicing regularly. Every few weeks, reattempt your earlier weak areas because consistency matters a lot.
All the best!
