Hi All,

been a silent follower of this forum for some time and have to thank the entire team for the excellent work!! Its been great support along!!

Just finished my exam a few hours ago and scored 680 (not what I was hoping for (43 Q 40 V) but this was my second and last attempt!!

Just wanted to hear from anyone on their experience for Phd admissions. Do you think this is a good enough score to get into an LBS in London or INSEAD in Paris or Singapore for a Phd?

THanks in advance!

I cannot speak for those schools specifically, but it is in general very competitive for PhD applicants, as there are precious few spots open right now thanks to global budget cuts at top universities. The good news is, that while the GMAT is important, your prior academic record is usually far more critical than your test score when being considered for a PhD program. Good luck and hope this helps.

Thanks ! with about 8 yrs of work exp i think it sometimes is a disadvantage rather than an advantage. But the reassurance on the score does ease my mind to some extent!!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
