Hi Shirley, hope you are doing well. I was wondering if you studied for the GMAT while at KPMG or during your undergrad? Is it reasonable to score close to 700 in about 3 months?

@gmatknighttutor Ай бұрын
Quick FYI for those currently prepping for the GMAT that the exam has changed since this video was created in 2022. Although a lot of stuff from the old version still applies, there is stuff that doesn't anymore. The new version, for example, does not have Sentence Correction. This doesn't necessarily mean that old prep material is bad per se. I may for instance still suggest to students to check out Manhattan Prep's 6th Edition for Critical Reasoning - which is part of the prep material linked by Slowlybutshrly - even though it came out years ago.

Your commentary on the weighting of verbal scores in GMAT is a little off from what I have heard about this quant/verbal skew. The GMAT score is closely tied to percentile, not right vs wrong answers. Because there are so many high achieving quant takers, a 47 is a good score but today only higher than 57% of others. Meanwhile, far far less people get perfect verbal scores than perfect quant, so those with higher verbal are distinguishing themselves in a far higher percentile relative to quant. The net affect is this “weighting” you mention but I don’t think it is imposed on by any committee or test writer. Offering this as a second perspective to your viewers.
@fakefake7413 8 ай бұрын
Your percentile argument is highly misleading. The point of her statement was that GMAT unfairly leans toward Americans cuz they tend to underperform in quant. Your statement that it’s harder to get a perfect verbal score (which implies quant is easier) only perpetuates the bias within the American Administered GMAT cuz international students will perform lower than Americans on verbal and better on quant. Thus the quant score reflects the strong aptitude of Americans and International students while the verbal tends to rewards Americans.

What do mean with work experience you mean like when you got your bachelor degree and what kind of work just working in a company and does the internship that you did in your time in college count as workexperience??

Hi fellow Belgian. Did you get your business degree in university or college? To apply for an MBA you need a few years of real life work experience, unlike in Belgium where you pursue a master immediately after your bachelor. If you want to do a master immediately after your bachelor you should look at a highly ranked master in management. Most top master in management degrees are at European business schools such as LBS, HEC, Insead, Rotterdam… good luck
