What GRE score is best for MIT?

 Getting into the top universities is not as simple as doing well on the GRE. There are many aspects of the application process that need to meet the minimum requirement for each college. Not only that, the requirements vary depending on which stream you are applying for even if it is the same university. 

One such requirement is your essay or your Statement of Purpose. The best bet for you would be to attend GRE coaching classes, to develop not only your quant and verbal skills but also acquire sufficient information about the application process. 

However, if you want to know what a good or rather a competitive score is, it varies for each college and the stream that you are applying for. 

On average a 315-320 on the GRE should get you through into most of the good schools.

The need for GRE

 The GRE or the Graduate Record Exam, is a competitive aptitude and reasoning test that is used to apply for top colleges and the best universities all over the world. It is a very versatile test in the sense that the GRE scores can be used to apply for various streams, including management degrees and MBAs. Unlike the GMAT, the GRE’s counter part for management programs, the GRE is a much easier test to score well in, compared to the GMAT.

If you are uncertain about which test to take, it is best that you consult with a reputable GRE coaching centre. Often it can be confusing to decide which might be the best exam to take, because the GMAT is easier to study for, whereas the GRE is an easier exam to take. 

GRE Verbal – Best Strategy

 The verbal sections of the GRE can be challenging for many to master, but there are some GRE coaching centres that ewuip their students with some really useful GRE tips and tricks for the verbal section. Now, while every “GRE expert” may claim that they know the best methods to master the GRE verbal section, it is not uncommon for most of these sources only giving you the basic learning methods.

However, the most important thing to keep in mind, is that everyone of us have our own learning style. The same strategies will not work for everyone. We even have our own strengths and weaknesses, so how then can the same plan of action work for everyone?

And that is where the real “Gurus of GRE” can teach you – how to think, how to evaluate yourself and then develop and apply your own strategy.

GMAT Validity Period – How long are your scores valid?

 As things stand, in August of 2020, the maximum time frame that your GMAT scores are valid for, is five years. 

However, if you have attempted the GMAT more than once during that period, your latest scores are generally what are taken into consideration. 

Now, if you have taken the GMAT more than three years ago, then it is highly recommended that you start taking up GMAT classes and the related TOEFL classes or IELTS classes. These exams have changed over time, as they always have. The GMAT is a much easier exam now than it ever has been. Not only does the exam contain fewer questions now, it is also shorter by half an hour. In addition to that, the test taker can even choose the order of the sections that he/she wants to attempt.

GMAT for the Noob

 Self-awareness is under appreciated. We seldom come across those who admit the truth to themselves. But if you are here good for you. 

It may surprise you that most of the people who attempt the GMAT for the first time, haven’t studied Math in a long time, probably even since school. But that’s ok. The GMAT is NOT a Math test and neither is it an English test. 

It is a test of your mental agility and your ability to reason rationally. Math and English are mere tools to help test those attributes of the test taker.

Sign up for GMAT coaching classes. And you will know what I am talking about. 

All these online lectures can teach you the concepts, but you need the best of teachers to teach you how to think.

Is GMAT necessary for MBA in USA after COVID19 pandemic?

First of all, I do not know why people are even asking this question. I understand not wanting to write the exam if that was the weak point in your application, but it is wishful thinking that the future of the GMAT for management courses in top universities in the world, will ever be at stake.

Sure, it may evolve as it has over time, but the GMAT is here to stay. So, start taking those GMAT classes you have been thinking about.

With President Trump making thoughtless comments and posts on what he intends to do with foreign nationals coming into US borders, it can be confusing and a little frightening when it comes to planning for your future.

But rest assured, the GMAT is not going anywhere and GMAT classes are the solution for you if you keep hoping for an answer.  

Will Indian Business Schools accept the GMAT for MBA admissions?

 If only I had a rupee for every time this question is asked at every MBA related education event that I have been to, I could have retired 3 years ago in a nice cottage in Scotland. However, since the world does not work that way, here I am, writing my nth blog about this. 

Yes. Over the last 8-9 years, the number of Indian Business Schools that accept the GMAT for MBA admissions, has consistently been on the rise. This trend gained momentum with ISB shining as a bright beacon of hope for those who have realized that the other management entrance exams conducted by Indian business schools, are all but a sham of a sieve in separating the cream of the crop. 

And those of you who think you can do well on the GMAT without any help, go ahead and take GMAT classes anyways. You will get better scores.

The minimum number of exams to immigrate to Australia

 Are you planning to go to study abroad in Australia or perhaps apply for PR in Australia? If so, then you should know that there is a minimum of two competitive exams that are taken into consideration towards your overall profile. The GMAT/GRE and the TOEFL/IELTS/PTE. 

Now there is a lot of debate on which of the English language proficiency tests to take. But to be honest, they are all remarkably similar exams. Depending on whether you want to go for MS or MBA, you should sign up for GMAT coaching classes or GRE coaching classes. 

As for joining TOEFL classes or IELTS classes or PTE classes, it is completely up to you. Although, the general assumption is that for Australia and New Zealand, it is recommended to take the TOEFL or PTE.

Defining Your Career Path

 

 

Every one of us have big dreams for our lives and our careers. While some of us want to be rich, others want to be famous and some want to be both. However, most of us just end up daydreaming about our success and barely begin our journey to fulfil those dreams that drive us.

 

“If you are achieving all your goals, you are setting yourself goals that are too easy”

 

A career is something that most of us barely think about until after we graduate and by then its too late and we do not know what to do or where to go. And we end up choosing a job just to pay the bills. And thus, begins the rat race.

And we get so mired into our circumstances that we seldom see the bigger picture – we are lying to ourselves and settling for a life that we never dreamt of.

Which one of us wanted to just sit behind desk doing something that we did not even care about? Or how about those of us who run around and work insane hours just to make our ends meets?

And that there is the underlying problem. There are enough people and enough careers to satisfy all of us. And yet so many of us find ourselves in the wrong jobs or in the wrong place and by the time we get fed up, it becomes too late.

 

But it is entirely possible to pick up from where you are! It is NEVER TOO LATE!!!!!

 

While it would have been amazing for us to have figured out our career and education path while we were still in school, the system lulls us into a sense of callousness that prevents us from seeing our trajectory clearly. And that’s where career guidance and/or career counselling comes in.

 

And whether you are an 18 year old or 40  year old, even if you have kids or if you feel surrounded by people who do not understand what you want to do with your life, a good career guide can make your life so much easier and no price can be put on something as helpful as a guide and mentor when you need one the most.Enroll GMAT classes chennai in PLAN A

 

MBA post COVID19

For those of you that started preparing for the GMAT or signed up for GMAT classes before March of 2020, my heart goes out to you. It is unfortunate timing, however this little speed breaker that the world has hit right now is only temporary and is inevitably going to bounce back up, even if it takes 2 or 3 years. 

And how interesting that most MBA programs take 2 years to complete, thereby putting you guys in the perfect place to scoop up all the opportunities that will arise by the time that you graduate. 

It is a very curious effect of such global events that those who have already enrolled are the worst hit and those who are going to enrol will be at the most advantageous positions. So fear not, as the future is brighter than most people will make it out to be.
