Should I score a 655 or a 675 in the GMAT Focus Edition when it comes to ISB applications?
This is one of the most recurring questions that every ISB applicant ends up asking me.
In this video, I share my rationale and the GMAT score you should target for the ISB MBA. Hope this helps!

Hello! Can you please help me out with what material I should be using for GMAT prep and ideally free material. It would be really helpful if you could share a few links to a question bank or maybe videos that helped you prepare

Does quality work experience help in making overall profile competative?

[@fangirlofsorts6341]

Explained soo nicely ❤

Hi Sarthak! Thank you for the informative video :D I'm a gem with 7/7/7(with good co curriculars) profile with work ex of about 3.5 years now, i just scored 665 in gmat fe. Should i try for the first round of applications or would you suggest me to re take the exam?

[@gauravchawla8050]

hey Sarthak, thanks for this! My background is in advertising and I am currently working at an advertising company. I plan to begin my prep for gmat. Usually, as per your exp, how long would it take for a non-engineer to finish their prep for a good enough score, in the range of what you mentioned.

[@sarthak-verma]

Typically 2.5 months if we prepare for 2 hours daily! My thoughts on GMAT Preparation - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIOneYRjfNGbitE

Hey, it was a really insightful video. Also, could you make a video on how a student can start preparing for the GMAT three or four years before taking the exam? (Because right now I am in my second year of undergrad 😅) I would love to know which skills I should improve from now on, so that in the future when I take the test, I can easily score 650 or 675 😅 By the way, if I have an average percentage in 10th and 12th grade, and a GPA of 8.2 in graduation, and have completed CFA L3 with one year of work experience, what would be my chances of getting into ISB?

[@kunalsharma8250]

Hi Sarthak, is the brand value of the workplace a factor? How do people who have a 3 year experience working at a small startup compare against other profiles?

[@rajeshdandampalli1278]

Iam working in Bank of India as a Sr Manager 10 years exp in Public sector bank , whether my profile will be accepted

[@gauranshluthra7520]

[@hrishikesh_pal]

[@Satori1300]

For Some one who has worked in Government service (group B), would these premier institutes value this work ex?

[@sarthak-verma]

Yes. They do value it

[@sanchitpahuja1845]

Thanks a lot Sarthak ji. One more thing. Is your answer in General true for all B schools or only for ISB?

[@vijaysacademy]

What about GRE score? What should be an ideal average GRE score to get into ISB?

[@stOPinthechat]

328+

[@Vishal_Gupta27]

Will there be any impact of other competitive exam like GATE in terms of academic consideration

[@karansinghwilkho]

Hi Sarthak. Just one question. Which GMAT course should I take which has it all? (TTP, Magoosh, Princton, Manhattan, E-GMAT, etc.)

[@sarthak-verma]

Hey....does isb accept scores of 550 if the academics are 10 in 10th ,98% in 12 ,96% in undergrad

[@sarthak-verma]

550 is in the lower side, would recommend 645 or higher in the GMAT FE
