I’m looking to start preparing for GMAT, hoping to take it by November end. I’m aiming for a 705+ and applying in R3. I have taken a diagnostic test and the outcome was not what I expected, definitely found it more challenging than I was expecting.

While I am going to do all the OG material etc. I am looking for a good coaching/guided study plan that can help me with basic quant concepts (I’ve always been weak at Maths) and help me understand how to attempt the quant and DI section.

Also, I have no idea which quant topics to start with or how to structure my study plan.

For someone getting back into studying after YEARS, and for someone who isn’t the strongest in quant, what study plan/ coaching would you recommend?

I have heard very mixed reviews of career launcher and TOP.

Would love to hear any feedback and advice!

I am a 28F
I have 2 years if work experience in Big 4 management consulting. Current CTC ~11LPA.

Graduated from DU BCOM Hons in 2019 with 7.8 GPA
12th CBSE 91.2%
10th CBSE CGPA 9.4

The reason for my low work ex is because I was also pursuing CA which I (unfortunately) was not able to complete due to extremely difficult personal circumstances and had to take some time off. However I did complete CA Inter if that counts, and I have 3 years of articleship experience in Audit in a Big 4.

I am looking to apply for an MBA now that I have managed to complete 2 years of workex, and plan to take the GRE, as I need a masters for career progression.

Looking for some honest advice, as I know I may have a weak case. Is it worth investing so much time and money, and what are my odds that I get accepted do the one year MBA from ISB?

Should I take the GRE by december and apply in R3 this year, or is it better to wait for next year? I understand scholarships get impacted but if I get accepted I can manage to take loans and handle the finance, for me not wasting more years is a priority as I feel I am already behind.

What advice would you have for me - open to listen to any suggestions that may help

Hi,
We’re planning to travel to Paris in June on Swiss airlines and have a 1 hour layover in Zurich to change planes. We’re coming from Asia on a Schengen visa issued by France. The booking is a single PNR number and both flights are Swiss itself. We will not be changing airlines.

Here is our concern- we’re not sure if 1 hour will be enough to make the connecting flight given that we’re travelling in peak season and will have to clear security / border control. We’re not sure how long the whole process will take and there is a new EES system as well.

Does anyone have any similar experiences or advice? Is 1 hour too risky?
