Hi Utkarsh1041,
In some posts last year, you noted that you were interested in applying to some PhD Programs (sometime in the near future). Is that still the case?
The PhD application process tends to be a bit more 'rigorous' than the MBA application process is - since there tends to be a small group of highly qualified applicants competing for a relatively small number of PhD 'slots.' As such, beyond having a strong GMAT Score, you'll need a strong OVERALL profile and you'll need to properly 'market yourself' to each individual Program that you apply to. By extension, you would likely find it beneficial to speak with an Admissions Expert about your overall profile. There's a Forum full of those Experts here:
https://gmatclub.com/forum/ask-admissio ... tants-124/Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for for your GMAT studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on your prior studies and your current goals:
1) What were your Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for your 610?
2) What study materials have you used so far (including during your prior studies)? What "brands" of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) How were you scoring on your CATs/mocks before you took your 1st Official GMAT?
Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to apply to your PhD Programs and what specific Programs are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
