I need to talk to one person,who's given the exam recently and clarify one or two doubts.

If possible, please comment below and I'll DM you.

HI All,

I gave GMAT 2 months ago and scored 555....I want to try againn...Can i get above 655 in 15 days to get a decent T15 college...I have prepared for the exam on and off so I have good base and I am lacking practice...

Looking forward to your guidance

Hey Guys, I am restarting my prep now, Looking forward for a study partner, we can choose to connect over 1 : 1 calls, progress topic wise and solve as many of them as possible. Lets start with quant and plan a roadmap for the prep.

We may share some material , ensure accountability and track the progress well.

I dont know how to proceed further as for me there was not enough time for Verbal ,i did not give any mocks as i thought verbal practice wont help the same way we practice quant questions or Di questions which are just paragraph/graph based quant in most cases.

Quant i did in 26 minutes for some reason it was too easy.

Although i am from engineering bg so quant comes naturally.

Hey everyone! I have my GMAT in 7 weeks and I’m targeting 685+ on my first attempt. I’m currently good at Quant, but I still struggle with hard CR questions, especially understanding them quickly within 2 minutes, and I also find TPA and MSR difficult and time-consuming. I took one diagnostic mock about 3 months ago and scored 415, but since then I’ve completed around 3 months of e-GMAT preparation and improved significantly.
Most of my education before university was in my mother tongue, so reading and understanding difficult English passages quickly is still a challenge. I’m also in the 3rd year of my bachelor’s, so I need to balance GMAT prep with assignments. What would you suggest for the next 7 weeks in terms of CR/DI improvement, mock frequency, timed practice, and official questions? Is 685+ realistically achievable if I prepare consistently from now?

Hi all,

I want to share my experience from today at the Pearson Center in Gurugram

I had a GMAT appointment at 11:45 am and arrived at the venue around 11. The staff informed me that there might be a delay due to a technical issue and that my exam could start later than scheduled. But at 12:15pm i.e. 30mins after my scheduled time, he said the exam will get rescheduled, and I will have to book a new date. Was there a global outage? Did this happen with someone else as well today?

Hi,

I am looking to start test prep at the earliest for the GMAT with less than 2 months before I give an attempt, I have no context here- would appreciate recommendations for good vetted online GMAT live classes with Indian based prep providers who have good reviews and are not a scam, thanks!

Everyone taking their exams in September end or October, DM . We'll form a group and connect twice daily to discuss our tsrgets and update of we completed or not .

Hi everyone,

I’m considering taking the GMAT online/from-home exam and wanted to hear from people who have taken it recently.

How was your overall experience? Was the exam process smooth, especially the check-in and proctoring?

I’m particularly curious about the proctor:

Did the proctor interrupt you frequently during the exam?

Were you warned for things like looking away from the screen, moving your head, touching your face, or reading questions silently/moving your lips?

Did you face any technical issues or unexpected disconnections?

Did the proctor messages or interventions affect your concentration?

Would you recommend taking the online exam, or is the test center a safer option?

Would really appreciate hearing about recent experiences, especially from anyone who took the online GMAT in 2025 or 2026.

Thanks!

Hello I want to re-start my GMAT Journey.

A month ago I scored 585 in GMAT with Q86 and low score in DI and Verbal.

I did not study for a month and now I want to start again.

I am not able to understand now what I do?

Should I randomly practice on the GMAT club? And than give Mock again or what should I do?

Need guidance

P.s. : I have taken subscription of e-gmat earlier and I do not want to take it again as it is costly for a month period.

Thanks

About me:

• Working full-time as a Senior Consultant at a Big 4

Looking for:

I’m about to start my GMAT prep and looking for someone to study with, stay accountable, discuss prep strategies, and keep each other motivated.

Ideally, someone based in Gurgaon would be preferred for occasional in-person study sessions, but I’m open to online as well.

DM or drop a comment if you’re interested!

Hi,
I was enrolled in a course from tope one percent and just gave my first official attempt after just completing the course with minimal practice as I wanted to get acquainted with the test centre environment. Got 77 percentile in quants, 14 in verbal and 34 in DI. Verbal was a shocker because I believed it was my strongest section. Anyways have a sabbatical till 10th September from my office and looking for personalised trainer to help me reach to 695+ by then.

Hi, I want to start my gmat preparation journey. But I am very confused. I have read several reviews.
Some say TTP is good some say it’s bad and lengthy.
For top I mostly read bad reviews like only focus on questions solving and don’t teach the foundation.
For Egmat I also read mixed reviews. Also, saw that their employees are reviewing and misleading people.

I am confused now. TTP on demand is very costly as well. I am honestly was always an average person at maths. So I am not confident about my quants. Or even reasoning or DI.

But I am really ready to give my 100% and prepare well for it. Please suggest me a good coaching. Also, the study plan.

Hi everyone!
I recently gave a GMAT mock w no prep at all and got a 345, I'm thinking of giving the GMAT in December/ January and wanted prep advice.

1. What are the best sources considering I don't want to join any coaching institution, like TTP, Magoosh etc.

2. I bought the OG GMAT 2025-26 books, and found the questions way too easy compared to the questions in the mock or the GMAT Club questions, what do I do?

3. I am willing to devote 250+ hours for my prep, (ik the base score is bad), but i don't wish to waste my time w the wrong material/ methods.

Please help.

This is my official score for Attempt #2 (Aug 2026) - I really don't know what happened. Attempt #1 was in Jan 2026 - 475 (Q71, V79, DI 70). Both self prepared with reliance on OGs, GMAT Ninja and GMAT Club.

Context: I am from non-maths background, and generally quite far from corporate career as well. Lit major in Undergrad with an unconventional yet unique career trajectory.

Aiming for ISB (at least 665+) in the next three months. I want to ideally self prepare because my self esteem and finances have taken a toll with this, and a consultant has recommended me to take coaching. Not sure how much I can afford to do this.

P.S I was the kind of kid that always scored exceptionally well in all subjects right until college, don't have exam anxiety and in fact, get paid to speak for a living (quite literally!). So the two attempts have been nothing but major setbacks to who I am and what I feel I am capable of. This exam is the one thing that can help me turn my career over and pivot.

Pls suggest next steps- target 675 (ideally!) in Nov 2026! Any help will be appreciated!

TIA!

I have scored 695 in test centre based GMAT exam , it was on 30 July 26 6 pm IST , I have not recd score till now though its been more than 1 week , im feeling a bit nervous and stressful at this point of time , when can I realistically expect my score ? Also will there be any flagging ( thought test went smooth ) .

I work in a startup in a hybrid format. And recently someone told me if I am planning to take the CAT and GMAT this year, my working model is not suitable. I will be considered unemployed. WTF
Tell me if this is true???

Hi, I scored 595 on the GMAT last week (Q80, V81, DI78). I have already used all the official mocks and official questions, and I have also completed around 2,500 additional questions from GMAT Club.

I don't understand why I scored so low despite doing so many questions. My highest score in the mocks was also 595, but I thought that didn't accurately reflect my ability because I attempted most of those mocks during the early stages of my preparation.

I am targeting at least a 655 on my second attempt. How should I prepare from now on, and is it realistic to reach 655 with one month of preparation?
