ONe more query again from my side :-P
If a person write exam twice, then which score will be considered:

3) average

Thanks in advace

This is from the ISB website:

6) If I submit more than one GMAT score, which score will be considered by the ISB?
The higher score would be considered, provided it is within the validity period of five years.

Hi
R1 and R2 are the two rounds for admission process for the next academic calendar for ISB. I take the liberty of assuming that you meant ISB when you said 2012 batch and because we are under a thread dedicated to ISB.

You can have more information on ISB admissions here:
Full Time Post Graduate Programme in Management

Since you plan to start now, you can go for the second round(R2) which ends on 30th November( this is the deadline for applying in the second round). GMAC takes at least 10-15 days to send your scores to the colleges you have selected just before the test starts. You can select 5 of them for free and more with some fee. So, I guess its okay if you take the test sometime early October. That being said, you will have three full months in hand, and almost 15 days in this month, that you can use for arranging the study material and getting into the mode of preparation.

Books:

To start with, Please get these books:

1. Official Guide for GMAT 12th Edition(also called OG. optionally, See if you can get the 10th and 11th edition as well, to use them for practice later on

2. Manhattan SC (Sentence Correction) strategic guide.

3. Quant review Official guide 2nd edition for maths and Data sufficiency questions.

4. Verbal review Official guide 2nd edition for Verbal(Sentence correction aka SC, Critical reasoning aka CR and Reading comprehension aka RC)

You may need some other books as you progress, but these will be the ones to start with. They will help you brush up the fundamentals.
You will also need to take some prep tests to see how you fair in a GMAT like scenario.

I hope that helps. Let me know if you need more info

Hi ppl.......

Just wanted some help from u guys regarding the gmat mocks.....I gave the Manhattan gmat free mock test and scored just 670.....

However, my concern is that I found The QA questions to be quite tough compared to the GMAT level...! ....I scored 48 only ,but the thing is QA questions of the GMAT prep test were pretty easier (for both tests and I got 49 there) ..I found the QA questions at the end of the paper while doing good to be still easier as compared to manhattan test qs when compared to a similar performance during the test........


Can somepne please let me know if what I have observerd is correct ?...also is it advisable to go for the GMAT MANHATTAN mock tests to prepare...?.....

P.S. :- I found verbal pretty much the GMAT standard (from what I have heard abt the GMAT standards) .......


thnx in advance..

Sumit,

your observations are more or less correct ... the MGMAT qunt is a little tougher than the gmat quant ... and yes MGMAT doesn't mimic the GMAT exactly (no one can) ... but MGMAT tries to approximate the questions and scoring pattern and so do all the others according to their own algorithms ... you should take all the mock test scores with a pinch of salt ... they are good practice but just that ... for your real standing on the GMAT tests the best predictors are the two GMAT Prep tests.

Hi All

After a few curious posts on this forum, I have finally kicked off my preparation with SC. Plan to finish the fundamentals of verbal and Quant by the end of this month and then have three month of genuine practice and tests. Looking forward for a date in Late September/Early October to go for the second round of ISB.

Right now, I am using Manhattan SC strategy guide which has been really great. Solving the questions from OG in parallel. However, there are a few things that I looking for in terms of the material, they are:

RC99, Aristotle(with solution)
Solutions for SC1000 and CR 1000
Powerscore CR Bible(I do have the CR strategy guide from Manhattan, but would like to have a look at this one as well)

Can someone please help me on the sources of these books mentioned above, keeping in mind the copyright issues??

Please PM me if you would like to share any information wr.t above mentioned.

Thanks
Abhishek

Hi,

I had PM you some enquiries regarding GMAT, please reply

Hi,
I am a new enterant in this forum, and would like to ask for your feedback regarding my profile and chances of admission for 2012-2013 batch.
-GMAT score: 710
-experience: 3 years ( as on date )
-Industry: financial services (Big 4)
-class X: 90%
-class XII: 88%
-graduation: 84%
-Degree: B.E in electronics and communication
- extracurricular and acads: decent
I was concerned whether 710 is a border line score, and would it hamper my chances in geting into ISB.

Thanks,
Gaurav

Hi Gaurav,

710 is a good enough score, provided you are strong in other areas that ISB looks for. I would suggest you start listing out how you want to position yourself in your applications. List down your strong points (your acads are one of them), achievements etc. Try to note down good stories from all that you have done in life thus far and for each story, note down what were the characteristics that you displayed that would help you get into ISB.

Look at how you have progressed at work thus far. Note down what skills are necessary in your job profile and whether you have exemplified those skills. The more good stories you have to write from work (team-work, leadership etc), the better your chances.

All the best!

Sawan

Which is the one grammar book that I should look at for GMAT, is it wren and martin??

I do have a manahattan SC and CR and plan to buy the verbal OG as well, Do I really need to look for any grammar book? Please suggest.
Thanks

GMAT per se does not test all grammar concepts. luckily GMAT tests only few of them and this does not require you to go thru wren n martin. Manhattan SC/SC grail gives fair deal of GMAT SC concepts. once done spend ur precious time by going thru practise questions and forum discussions . shud give u fair enuf ammos to blast SC

Hi...

How close is the princeton review test score to actual GMAT score??

depends on what your level of preparation is at the time of giving the princeton review test ... with the same level of preparation going into both tests i would say princeton review will give you a score in +/- 30 range of your GMAT score.

I dont think u need to buy Powerscore CR, since u have the Manhattan one, they are quite similar (thats what i hear !)

I think i might have them in pdfs somewhere , will try and search, Thanks

Powerscore CR Bible (By David Killoran) is the CR Bible, although, most of the users of Manhattan CR will say the same for their book

Where should I get the powerscore CR bible, is it available online? copyright stuff?

hi puys

can smbdy suggest me mock test other than gmat prep. coz i ve heard dat one shudnt practic too much on gmat prep as it starts repeating questions after 5 or 6 tests...rather it shud be kept as a measuring tool to gauge your likeliness of scoring ur target score wen your done with books and other practice tests...

plz

You can get access to a whole lot of Free Mock Tests on the web :

1. Kaplan GMAT Test
2. Knewton GMAT Test
3. Manhattan GMAT Test
4. Princeton Review GMAT Test
5. Veritas Prep GMAT Test

All these tests are free ... and doing a lot of tests from different places gives you access to several different question types.

Word of caution : These tests are only for practice ... dont get bogged down by the scores... no one knows GMATs scoring algorithm for sure and hence no one can replicate it ... trust your GMAT Prep Scores as they are the best indicators of your performance in GMAT.

Are Manhattan GMAT mocks the best in the market with respect to GMAT prep...i mean do they efficiently replicate the GMAT pattern and the kind of questions .....?


Please help puys........

MGMAT comes free (6 CAT exams) if you buy one of their books. if not, you can purchase them separately. they are good resource for practise, after official GMAT

rvtheace Says

Problem is, according to a book I read, the quant score should typically be above 90 percentile and mine is not.

as far as i know, the adcom will not have access to your GMAT score during the interview. in my opinion you can easily overcome this by having a strong essay and interview prep. 760 is really a good score. you have crossed the GMAT gatekeeper. now the next hurdle is your essays and your diversity. Again its my opinion.

hi
Can anyone send me these three books in ebook format :

sc grail , rc 99 and veritas quant

Thanks

the only worst case scenario , in ur case could be, you write that you want to be a mgmt consultant or anything else which requires you to have analytical skills.

now the panel would feel that you have a little less quant skills, they probably would give you some puzzle or prolem to solve, but if you cant justify there also then you are lost.

and if your targets are marketing or stratey etc, they mighte= not look that mcuh for quant skills.

just my two cents, anycase i advise to not give your gmat again, be happy and start woking on your application.

Ssup Puys! I am am ISB 2012 entry aspirant. I was initially elated with my GMAT score of 760, but have become increasingly depressed with the score of 48 (82-percentile) on the quant section. I have a bad feeling that this could damage my chances in ISB and top US B-Schools.

Anyone with stories to give me hope otherwise?

Does anyone know the conversion rate for Round 2 applicants at ISB each year? Do they indeed reserve equal number of seats for both the rounds, as their website suggests?

Hi,

I don't think that there is a reserve quota on the number of seats for each round. Though the statistics over the year shows that ISB receives a comparable number of applications each round and conversion rate is also similar. You are not at any disadvantage so to say if you decide to apply in Round2.

Hope it helped

Hi Puys

I have around 7 yrs of experience with average academic background. Looking for ISB. How much Should I score, Please suggest..

Just give it your best shot and don't worry about the score, ISB or any other good school looks at your application in totality and GMAT will rarely make or break your admission chances.

I know for a fact that it's not rare for people with *poor* GMAT scores to be called for interviews since their application was impressive in other areas and in some cases people with sky high GMATs were shown the door since they did a very shoddy job on their essays.

Hi There

Everyone suggests Manhattan SC is a good one to refer. By The way , where did you get RC99 from? I am looking for that..

Thanks

Tried downloading the Manhattan Freee Prep Software yesterday, But it was just going in loops and I was not able to download it. Can some one please help?

Hi Puys

I just bought the OG12, Manhattan SC and Manhattan CR for myself. Should that be enough for giving it a go?? Please suggest. Also, Is there anything else that I am missing out in here. I have read a lot about RC99, Whats that? Is it recommended. Could someone please let me know where I can get it , Is that an online stuff??

Thanks

Hey Topal,

I guess due to your experience in the startups you would have great stories to tell in your essays :). But just the mention of 'IT' sets alarm bell ringing for the adcom. Try and cross the 700 barrier on GMAT, and also make sure that your score is not skewed i.e. high quant and low verbal. A balanced 700+ score should take care of the GMAT part of your application.

Best of luck :thumbsup:

Ssup Puys! I am am ISB 2012 entry aspirant. I was initially elated with my GMAT score of 760, but have become increasingly depressed with the score of 48 (82-percentile) on the quant section. I have a bad feeling that this could damage my chances in ISB and top US B-Schools.

Anyone with stories to give me hope otherwise?

you mean to say ISB 2013 aspirant
