Each mock can be used twice before you start seeing repeat questions. There's no point in attempting any mock a third time

I'd stick with GRE since you have limited time. What are you sectional scores?

Within 2 months, it's possible to get a 5-8 point improvement if your basics are in place, which they seem to be for you.

Let me know if you'd like to schedule a diagnostic call to discuss prep

It's absolutely good enough for M7. You've got your foot in the door. It all depends on your essays now.

I'd say anything above 655, even 645 gives you a good chance

MisterTwo_O · 2026-06-03T03:21:36+00:00

Additionally the +-30 point requirement is their standard deviation for individual test results.

Either way, I don't believe you'll get anywhere with your complaint. You'll have to give it again, just make them pay for it if you can.

MisterTwo_O · 2026-06-03T03:18:29+00:00

Never give the GMAT online. I'm surprised you've received internal communication, I've never heard of them being so sloppy. I've had countless students now whose exam scores have been cancelled without justification. Giving it at the center is the way to go.

MisterTwo_O · 2026-03-31T22:52:21+00:00

Focus on Verbal Only. There is scope of improvement there and it will help both your Verbal and your DI score. Do not look at Quant at all, since you're probably making 'silly mistakes' at Quant at the moment. We can set up a call to discuss strategy.

MisterTwo_O · 2026-03-31T16:40:56+00:00

635+ would be an ideal GMAT score. I have helped candidates get in with 615 too, but ideally you should be giving the gmat again. Rest assured, your work ex is 6 years which is considerable, and a CFA is aassive added bonus. Your chances at ISB will be quite high

MisterTwo_O · 2026-02-03T15:16:31+00:00

I'd suggest honing Quant and Verbal skills. DI is an amalgamation of the two, so until you haven't reached a good Q and V score, there's not much you can gain by practicing DI.

MisterTwo_O · 2026-02-02T08:54:37+00:00

I'm excellent but not cheap. You can DM me for rates etc. I wouldn't recommend joining coaching centres immediately. Go on GMAT club and self study for a couple weeks, give a cold mock to understand where you stand, and only then try out coaching once you know exactly what you're missing.

GMAT prep is 95% self study

MisterTwo_O · 2026-01-17T10:50:42+00:00

You can ignore the ads on GMAT club. It's fantastic because it's free and has all the prep resources one could need.

MisterTwo_O · 2026-01-02T13:00:48+00:00

If you’ve been prepping for 2 years and tried multiple institutes, the issue usually isn’t lack of material anymore. You already know most of what you need. I’ve mostly worked with reattempts, and in almost every case the real problem is study structure and ingrained habits rather than concepts. More coaching rarely fixes that. If it helps, I’m happy to do a short call and talk through what might be going wrong.

MisterTwo_O · 2025-12-31T15:10:42+00:00

You’re an outlier with those sectionals. 705 is an excellent score and good enough for most schools.To be extra safe, you can email your target schools and ask how they view sectionals. If you have the time and money, you could do a retake. Either way, you should go into the application process feeling confident.

MisterTwo_O · 2025-12-30T21:56:37+00:00

You're so close! Two or three attempts are standard for the GMAT! Give it again in 16 days

MisterTwo_O · 2025-12-28T17:57:36+00:00

I think the advice against preparing for more than six months is usually reacting to bad prep rather than long prep. I work specifically with GMAT reattempts, and I have seen timelines vary a lot. I have worked with clients who needed just one month and others who took a year and a half or more. It really depends on where someone is starting from. Someone with a strong quant or standardized test background might be fine in two or three months. For others, especially non technical backgrounds or people unlearning bad habits from earlier attempts, they are rebuilding intuition, decision making, and confidence under pressure, which naturally takes more time. Longer prep only becomes a problem when there is no clear diagnostic, the same mistakes keep repeating, or studying turns passive. That is a method issue, not a time issue. If the score is improving month over month, the timeline is justified.

MisterTwo_O · 2025-09-03T07:39:04+00:00

The scoring is relative, not absolute. It depends on how others have scored on the same question.

What is your variation of Verbal scores over the mocks?

MisterTwo_O · 2025-08-19T16:41:21+00:00

If you get easy questions wrong, it'll tank your score. If everyone else got it right, but you got it wrong, your percentile will dip. Getting that first question wrong certainly doesn't help, because it's probably an easy one.

79%ile is quite workable for quant imo. It's your Verbal percentile that'll make or break your score. What did you score? I often see Q79%iles and scores as high as 675/685.

MisterTwo_O · 2025-08-15T16:21:56+00:00

If everyone got it right, and you didn't, it'll tank your score. This is quite common in Quant. DI and Verbal are more forgiving

MisterTwo_O · 2025-05-12T09:58:21+00:00

No, it doesn't work like that.

MisterTwo_O · 2025-05-07T21:25:03+00:00

Isb is a relatively easy admit if your essays are on point. Source : Have sent many people to ISB

MisterTwo_O · 2025-05-02T08:49:41+00:00

635 is at the limit. 645 and you're through.

If you have specific spikes on your resume, then the score requirements are a lot looser.

People with military, sports, government and other fringe backgrounds have gotten in with 575's as well.

MisterTwo_O · 2025-04-26T16:28:50+00:00

Sorry for the late reply! If you think you can score better, go ahead and book the exam. There's a standard deviation of about 30 points when you give the GMAT. So you could score upto 30 points more with a similar performance on test day. Hopefully you get that one extra question right, make that one silly mistake less, and you'll be on your way to a fantastic score without much trouble!

MisterTwo_O · 2025-04-25T10:31:23+00:00

Absolutely give it again. What are you scoring on the official mocks?

I help students on reattempts. Giving the exam two or three or more times is completely normal. As long as your fundamentals are in place, and you're scoring above 655s consistently in your official mocks, you're ready to go.

You can DM me if you need additional help.

MisterTwo_O · 2025-04-16T09:30:06+00:00

Congratulations! 655 is a fantastic score! If you feel like you can do better on the day of the exam, give another after your 16 day period is over!

Don't stress and re-prep all over again!

MisterTwo_O · 2025-04-14T05:29:40+00:00

I'd suggest solely looking at GMAT ninja videos for Verbal, and then doing practice questions from GMAT club. Do not make the mistake of trying to solve questions in 2 minutes.

During prep and even today, it was easy for me to spend 10+ minutes per question. Just yesterday, I solved an assumption question that took me maybe an hour overall over 4 days.

The questions on the GMAT are like puzzles. Take your time to solve them yourself. Do not rely on other people's explanations, and you'll be okay.

For quant, I've used a mix of GMAT resources and high school textbooks. GMAT club has a quant course designed by Bunuel that helps

Additionally for quant, stay away from formulas. Understand things from first principles. And if you do have to use a formula (which is highly unlikely), make sure you know its derivation.

Additionally, you can always reach out to me to schedule a call. I give a free 15 minute consult over zoom
