I am new to Gmat and planning to give up the test in couple of months.I am a Engineering graduate from a reputed University in Chennai. academics wise my schools scores are very good but my college scores are kind of average with some arrears and i cleared it and passed in first class only in the year 2005. then throu campus placements i entered ICICI Bank and now working in HCL whereas in my companies i have got good name. Also my extra-curricular activities are very good. I have represented Natuional level competitions and a sports person right from school age. I love dancing and havecompleted my arrangetram also.

Please let me know how much should i score in GMAT and also My college scores and arrears would affect my profile in mba admission. I am mainly looking at ISB.

Thank you for your question.

My understanding is that ISB is particularly interested in very concrete, quantifiable accomplishments, and with your background it will be important to differentiate yourself from the other applicants in order to get accepted as well. While you did clear the arrears, so your college performance should not be viewed negatively, I think it would be helpful for you to focus very hard on the GMAT and try to score at the upper end of ISB's 80% range, or higher. Certainly above their mean.

Good luck!

"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."
