Thanks team, for reverting. Some quick follow-up questions:
1) I was thinking of doing a robust run-through of prep for a week and giving one official exam by Oct end, and if required, another by Nov end (with the possibility that I don't score good enough in the first attempt). Is this thought of mine valid/rational by any means ?
2) For colleges in the mentioned countries in your response, what should be a good minimum GMAT score I should target for ?
3) Some college suggestions from those countries.
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!
