Hey im starting now. Is jamboree and oficial gmat guide enough?

[@ashwiniktb2315]

Hi Madam, I have just completed degree 1St Year,, I have 2 years time for GMAT...I want to start preperation from now...Is it okay to start preperation with GMAT OG 2022 or should I go with Manhatten series? Please reply...

[@sameershaik3992]

Hi Nimisha, I'm Working professional thinking of to start prep for Gmat, I have done one diagnostic test from GMAC official I got total of 250 since I have forgotten basics of both math and verbal, is it possible to get 700+ after 3-4 months of preparation, I'll spend 3-4 hrs on week days and 5-6 hrs on weekends this is definitely for sure. And Coming to Verbal Section I'm scared of this I'm getting exhausted seeing the paragraphs, so is classroom coaching or online coaching will help me out with this, can you please advice

[@roshnisomani6118]

Hello, Thanks for sharing Can you please suggest if one should take Gmat official guide or a separate official guide for verbal and quant?

[@deathknight1018]

Mam please answer that you did your prepration from official guide and jamboree. Or from Kaplan, Manhattan and Princeton prep also?

[@pranavbuxani3611]

Should I buy the official Gmat Guide on amazon or on their website? The price of Amazon is half of that on the website

[@sonambiswal5018]

Hi Nimisha , Greetings to you . I have concerns wrt the study materials to pick . 1) When we say OG , do we only refer the main book ( the question bank ) or the set of 3 books ( main book + quant + verbal ) ? 2) Is it really necessary for one to refer other resources like Manhattan or Kalpan apart from the OG ?

hi, your video was really helpful. i am taking GMAT preparation from jamboree and i am kind of losing my track of prep. can you help me with creating a study plan as i am a college student and my semester exams are also approaching

[@jhumka_with_a_laptop]

Hi Yashika..even I had taken Jamboree classes. You should reach out to the faculty there for helping you out with the course work schedule. . Meanwhile, you can email me at [e-mail]. let's figure out how I can help you.

Hi Sandeep, you can write to me with your questions on [e-mail]

[@manvendrasinghdangi7246]

Can i write GMAT without work experience . Can I get admission in good collage without work experience after just graduation ?

[@jhumka_with_a_laptop]

Hi Manvendra, you can write GMAT. In India, you can apply to ISB for the deferred program (YLP). Where you get the admission but join after 2 years of work experience. I am sure there are other colleges in the world which also accept students right after graduation. Do find out about it with a Google search. However, for mba you need a good profile. Also, your academics will play a very crucial role in this

[@manvendrasinghdangi7246]

@@jhumka_with_a_laptop thank you mam

[@jppdon]

Hi! It was a very nice video. I found it to be very insightful. I am someone who is just beginning to plan for a GMAT, and so clarity is still yet to get better. Also, I have not been in touch with books for almost 10yrs due to work. I like the points you have brought out. But what is your opinion on online classes and classroom studies? Also, how would you suggest I go ahead? My worry is that I have to begin with the concepts as I have not been in touch.

[@jhumka_with_a_laptop]

Hi Paul... I totally get where you are coming from..for me the duration of non-acad was around 6 years. I'll be very upfront with you. I took classroom studies because I needed to manage time alongwith full time job and family duties. Classroom studies gave me a more focussed approach and most of all it gave me discipline to study everday. Having said that, it will be unfair if you didn't try to study on your own for sometime and test the water. It is quite possible that you have not forgotten what you learnt as a kid during 9-10th. I know people who studied on their own after almost 10 years of gap and got a decent score. More than self study/classroom coaching, the question you should be asking is where do you stand now. Then study for a month, brush up your concepts. And ask the same question again. You will know the challenges, alongwith your strengths. Then the answer will be much clear and more personal. Hope this helps!

[@Debkanti]

Thank you, Nimisha..very clear and precise instructions. Please let me know your feedback for Magoosh gmat online preparation..thank you again

[@jhumka_with_a_laptop]

Hi...I have not used any of the Magoosh materials..so can't review it. Sorry buddy.

[@naveennagineni3476]

Nimisha, I have a huge doubt what to write GMAT OR GRE? , I am stuck with it(for sure I want to study Only M.B.A), my main dilemma is whether GMAT add any value to my profile who doesn't have work experience? I beg u to reply to these question, I am in an hour of help and guidance.

[@abhishekbansal7052]

Hi, Can you please tell me from where I can get a sectional-wise mock? Thank You

[@divyankasrivastava6767]

Please share detailed video. Very nicely explain. Also please tell we need to purchase lated OG or any old year OG will also do same?

[@jhumka_with_a_laptop]

Thanks Divyanka.. I think if it is possible, get the latest OG. Because every year they make some changes/additions to the book. If you already have one, try to find out through online resources what edits have been made to the newer version. If something's crucial, or otherwise, decide as per that. . Also, do let me know what part of the preparation guide do you think I should elaborate on.

[@arnabsaha33]

Please make a video on different sections, number of questions in each section and the difficulty level compared to CAT.

[@simranmittal1804]

Hi ma'am I am planning to start preparing for GMAT again, As I dropped it after securing 470 in my first attempt. I am in full time job, And looking at the market post covid..I am doubtful if it is worth preparing again I cleared YLP first stage but couldn't crack GMAT I want to do my MBA from ISB only So is there anything you can suggest It will be of great help

Do we have to go for the 2022 books or just use previous year(2018,2019) books?

[@shravyajaladi3291]

Hi Nimisha saw one of your jamboree videos and got here....did you completely finish the jamboree blue book...i find the questions in blue book really hard and its taking lot of time in solving. Moreover for many of the questions have to look up in gmatclub for the step by step solutions ...how did you go about it?

How to split the time during studies for verbal and quant. Can u guide on the preparation plan.

[@kirandeav8504]

Thank you so much mam! Your video was really helpful! What's your opinion on studying MBA abroad mam? Which option do you think is better ?studying in India or abroad?

[@jhumka_with_a_laptop]

Hi Kiran... It doesn't matter where you are studying as long as your career goals are aligned with what and where you are studying. Few things to look out while deciding India or abroad is your short term & long term career goal, ROI of the course, current economic and political situation in that country, and needless to say the reputation of the college and the opportunities it provides. If all of it works out better for you in a college abroad, then you should go for it. For someone who wants to be in India in the near term and long term, they must not study abroad unless they have enough budget to sustain that cost difference. In terms of quality of education, there are few basic differences between studying in India and abroad (such as peer relationship, college life experience and networking in general), but otherwise the top colleges in India are providing real good faculties and infrastructure. So there is no dearth of learning opportunities in Indian b-schools. PS: thank you for your kind words. Glad you found the video useful :)

Hi Nimisha, all your videos on gmat is very helpful. I just wanted to know would self study is sufficient for preparation of gmat or should I enroll to some online classes??

[@jhumka_with_a_laptop]

Thank you Shivam. There is no standard response to this question. A lot of my friends at ISB didn't take any coaching whereas I took weekend classes. The best way to figure out for yourself is by starting the preparation. Study for a while and give some mock tests. You can also refer to some online resources for preparation. Do spend on good mock tests though.

i am planning on doing self study for GMAT. So, will the OG and the manhattan books (foundation books) suffice the preparation?

[@jhumka_with_a_laptop]

Hi Anisha... OG is a question bank. The solutions are quite detailed, so be very thorough with it. For theory, I had referred to Manhattan for Quants and Kaplan for Verbal. Although I believe even Manhattan is good for both. . The best way is to start. You will automatically know if you are on the right path.

Nice Videos Nimisha, tell me something, i am coming from a teaching background of Foreign Languages but want to change profession as there is no growth, and i completed my 12th practically 18 years before, so i don't remember a single thing about Maths and i cannot figure out where to start from, you are saying 200-250 hours is what is required, well, i think i might need more. Can you do a video on where to start from/or which topics to do first for people who have practically no experience. I am sorry if this is a bizarre question.

[@jhumka_with_a_laptop]

Hi Pearl.. first of all, your spirit is commendable. Don't worry about the number of hours. The truth is that you will never feel ready. But you will get enough signs (through mock tests) that you must give the exam already. Kindly go through my other video on '5 Must Do Things Before You Start Preparing'.

If i score like 700+ right after my bba graduation can i get admission in abroad countries like canada without having experienced.

[@jhumka_with_a_laptop]

Hey I am not sure about admissions, but any score above 700 is good..I'd recommend you select your target colleges/course first and then decide the target score. Also, track some alums of those colleges and understand from them what kind of profiles make it there.

[@jhumka_with_a_laptop]

A large part of MBA admissions, post good score, is your profile. Generally speaking, with good application and good score, you can atleast secure an interview call.

Hi..I can imagine your situation. You can look up Jamboree (Pune, I think they have online classes too), GMAT club website (they too have some online resources). I am suggesting Jamboree only because I took offline weekend coaching from there, for exactly the same reasons as you mentioned. I am not suggesting anything else as I have no experience wrt them.

Hi Neha.. checkout if you are able to find a supplement on 2021 OG - just look for what changes have been made to 2021 OG compared to 2019 OG. Generally speaking, even 2019 OG should be fine unless official GMAC has made some major changes to it.
