Stumbled onto this video out of sheer curiosity. Graduated from b-school back in 2018, had no idea the test has changed so much! 😮😮

Hi, Hope you found the video insightful. Thanks for checking out the video.

[@deeptijoseph8327]

Hi, I'm just a freshers and this is the first video about GMAT that I'm seeing. I wanna pursue masters in Germany. So I'll have to take two language tests as well with Gmat. You mentioned that we have to send the scores within 48 hours, so do I do my others language courses before GMAT? I'm pretty confused about that. And do you recommend I take youtube lessons for gmat or proper coaching? I have no funds actually and would be seeking a job as well(might not have much time). Please do respond

Hello, Firstly thanks a lot for this information! I am a beginner and wanted to know can we attempt the GMAT around June/July 2024, just like GRE we can give it every month, can we have the GMAT also every month, I am confused about this part because I will start my prep now, and taking up the 3-4 months of target?

[@pratikj415]

Hi, Yes !!! You can attempt the GMAT any time of the year. However if you are planning on answering it multiple times, kindly note you can answer the GMAT maximum 5 times in a single year, with a gap of 16 days between the exams. Hope I was able to help you out. All the very best.

[@Shweta085]

hey there, recently I have cracked exams like IBPS clerk and SBI PO mains. I would be working as a clerk in Punjab and sind bank from July 2024. I want to pursue my MBA from business schools abroad, can you tell me how I can build my profile and if any of my working experience would be beneficial for the same. How many years of experience is needed and if I crack gmat without any experience would I be accepted to any B-schools or not. Thankyou for your time.

[@pratikj415]

Hi, Answering your questions One by one: 1) how I can build my profile and if any of my working experience would be beneficial for the same? Ans: 5 years of Work experience is mandatory for an MBA abroad 2) How many years of experience is needed? Ans: 5 years is what I would say hits the sweet spot. 3) If I crack Gmat without any experience would I be accepted to any B-schools or not? Ans: Without experience, you can choose courses such as a Masters in Management. For more info, check this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXLaZHWtq7JmhtU Hope I am able to answer your questions. All the very best :)

[@NehaKumari-iy9kn]

Hi sir can you please help me the source from where I should start the preparation for GMAT exam

[@pratikj415]

Hi Neha, I would say first would be to understand the sections of the GMAT and their Syllabus. After that you can plan on buying the Official Guide by GMAT as it has all authentic GMAT questions. Keep researching about GMAT and keep Practicing. That is how you will get ahead of the curve. All the very best.

@@prodevilgaming5879 hi, To start with Prep, first you will have to understand GMAT exam, and what the differences between the Focussed edition and the normal version. Start with this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKStkpyHhdF7nq8 For any questions, mention them in the comment section of the video and I will definitely get back in touch.

Hello Sir, I want to know Can we apply for IIM's or ISB through GMAT Focus Addition? And I am looking for the prep. strategy and all. Can you please guide me in that also. Looking forward to your prompt response.

[@pratikj415]

Hi, Yes !!! You can apply for IIM's or ISB through GMAT Focus Addition. Your prep will have to be designed based on you. Go through the test taker's testimony and decide that for yourself. Many people take 2 months whereas many people take 6 months to clear GMAT with a score of 700+. The choice is yours on how you want to attack the test. All the very best. Hope I was able to answer your question.

[@nainikayadav9936]

Which all colleges in India doesn’t require work experience through gmat?

[@pratikj415]

Hi, Yes !!!! ISB YLP does accept the GMAT Focus Edition. Hope I was able to help you out. All the very best !!!

[@prateek7471]

I have a doubt Like on internet every college is showing cutoff on the basis of old GMAT But a 700 in old version and a 700 in focus edition is different thing isn't it? In old edition we get 700 at 90 percentile But in focus edition we get 705 at 98.5 percentile So cutt offs will be different for both right?

[@pratikj415]

Hi Prateek, Yes !!! You are absolutely right. The scoring pattern has changed quite a lot. Also the new data on scoring pattern with respect to college scores is not available and present in common knowledge. Post September, this data can be available. Hope this helps you out. All the very best !!!
