Suit + Tie is how most males were dressed. I recommend following the standard here.

Just the passport. Last moment tip is that just stay calm and have a good night’s sleep. Carry something to eat during breaks(something sugary preferably)….and all the best?!!!
Thanks! Much appreciated!

and also something that stumped me, that I feel isn’t mentioned often ; do not keep the markers they provide, with the caps open for too long! They dry up pretty quickly if kept open for too long, and having practiced at home with a pen and book, I lost precious mins in my verbal section because of my markers drying up since I kept them in the open for too long. And had to resort to using my fingers for finishing the section. And ensured to take extra markers from the invigilator during the break, before my next section
Thanks! Much appreciated

What are the things one should carry and keep in mind for his or her GMAT exam? And any last moment tips anyone?
Make sure you carry your passport man. Carry some chocolate / energy bar whatever works for you.

The question may be very similar to another question of
how many hours does it take to woo a girlfriend (or a boyfriend)?

The more attractive your profile, the fewer the hours,
The more sincere you can be, the fewer the hours,
The higher you aim (desirability of a program /school/ partner), the more the hours.

Good luck with figuring out the answer :-p

I wanted to plan out whether I have enough time to apply for round 2, a straight approx hours would be of real help.

Essays might take 3-4 iterations, so brainstorming and reviewing 1 essay per iteration 3-4 hours. 16 hours for 1 essay. 32 for 2. But spreading the time and finding good reviewers and their time constraints might make it 10-12 days for 4 iterations.

I am hoping you aren’t writing your own lor as ISB adcoms have the sense to catch that in your writing style.

Hi
I'm a Product Manager working for an edtech company in Gurgaon.
I have 3 years of experience as a PM, having worked for early and mid-stage startups in fintech and edtech spaces.

I did BSc Physics Hons from Durham University in the UK, I didn't do too well, getting a 2:2, equivalent to a 3.1 GPA.
I took the GMAT last year and got a 710, Q: 46 V: 41. I'm planning on taking the exam again next month, I know I can improve on the Quant a lot more.

I'm planning on applying for 2023 intake, how do I fare with my experience and background and what could I add to my profile to make it stand out?

Thanks

Good experience and the GMAT is average (not low). Should definitely look at writing a compelling narrative and standing out in the essays. Back that up with workplace achievements (promotion/awards) and you should be good to go.
