Can you give us a brief summary (or link us to an earlier post) of how you prepared the first time around?

HI sandipgumtya,

I'd like to know a bit more about your GMAT studies so far and your application history/plans:

1) How long did you study?
2) What materials did you use?
3) What were the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores on the Official GMAT?

4) What Schools did you apply to?
5) Did you receive any confirmation that your GMAT Score was the 'issue' with your applications?
6) When are you planning to reapply?

Hi sandipgumtya,

Before you retake the GMAT, I highly recommend that you talk through your situation with an Admissions Expert. There's a Forum full of them here:

https://www.beatthegmat.com/ask-an-mba-a ... t-f40.html

If by "PI", you mean 'personal interview', then it's worth noting that Business Schools generally only grant interviews to applicants who they're interested in. If you had three interviews but nothing came from any of them, then there's a pretty good chance that something about the interview (something you said - or didn't say - or how you said it) is what kept you from getting an invite (and not your GMAT score).

"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."
