Hi Mithun

I thought you forgot to search or you didn't get the doc.
But you got it in the end and i am really thankful to you for it.

My plan for dealing with combinatorics is to solve all the questions in OG & Qnt Review and solve the questions given by you.

Do you think this would be a good approach coz i don't want to do stuff which is unlike GMAT?

Tell me what you think...

Kind Regards

I always hear the term 80/80 split. Is that important to get an admission?

- pH7.0

Hi Anirudh,

I am sorry as I rarely check the forums now.
I suggest you to look BEYOND the OG and Quant review for questions on combinatorics. I always got the feeling that the exam was tougher than what you study from the OG. May be its the familiarity with ole' OG!

The roll list I made helped me out. Suggest you to make your own as well. Ergo, fishing BTG forum questions and explanations should be adequate..

HTH

Hi Hemanth,

Some schools like INSEAD explicitly mention that they prefer atleast a 75%ile split in both. The keyword is 'prefer'. So its not the end, if your split is slightly variant from the 80/80 if your overall app is good. At least thats how I understand it.

However, when I checked with some alumni etc., they said that 80% in both puts you in a safe zone... i.e. your GMAT score should no longer weigh your app down.

I must admit that there are a lot of untested opinions here. But I guess there is no wildfire without a cigarette butt. Right? no?

:)

Good luck.

Thanks Random Wok. (like your display name!)

I got a lot of help from the BTG community and am glad to return the favour.

Good luck!

Hi All,

I would like to mention that I got an admit from a top tier European B School, which was high up on my list.

Thanks to all members on this forum.

Cheers
