Hi aryan I hope you are doing well in your life I am utsav Recently i saw your comment on GMATclub youtube channel, I am also planning to start GMAT focus preparation But i don't have much knowledge about I hope you can help me Please response

I have a question. If that’s the case, then why was the new format introduced altogether? The old format was doing pretty fine. If GMAC allows a person to get to 700 without scoring exceptionally high in the verbal section, then there must be some logic behind it. Otherwise, why to drop sentence correction and bring in DI? I believe this was done to cater to the world heading towards AI and ML, and to test analytical abilities in MBA students while to de-emphasise the weightage on language. I understand two colleges have done this, but maybe it’s their personal criteria. Considering every top college will do this is wrong in my opinion.

Hi @anishghosh25. You're right in saying that GMAT has done the changes in GMAT Focus to test people more on the Analytical reasoning skills and removing SC is a great step towards removing the complicated grammar aspect as it might not be super important to be exceptionally great in grammar to excel in the MBA program. However, CR and RC test one's Verbal reasoning and Analytical reasoning skills as well. It focuses a lot of key aspects like attention to detail, being able to infer the right things from a long text and being able to identify logical flaws in arguments - skills which are necessary to succeed in the MBA program and which also come into picture later on in your career. Hence, these are key skills and that's why they are retained in GFE. 2 of the top schools (INSEAD and HEC are high ranked globally) mentioning on their website in my opinion is just the start and there would be many more who will follow suit here. It is pretty evident that with the GFE, students can notch up their Quant and DI scores and still get a great overall score. Not many top B-schools would want people to come into their with poor Verbal reasoning skills. So, to be on the safer side target a V80 on the minimum. Hope that helps :)

okay I have overall a 85 percentile in GMAT FE with 95 percentile in quants, 51 percentile in Verbal and 66 percentile in DI. what are my chances in the top BSchools in India ? Can any expert give any idea ?

Hi Anish. Let me try and help you here. Your sectional scores should be good enough for most Indian schools ideally but the Verbal one might be an issue for few schools. Usually 85 percentile in GFE (i.e. 635) should be good enough for executive MBA programs of IIM-C, IIM-L, IIM-K, XLRI, MDI, etc. For the other schools ISB, IIM-A, IIM-B it is slightly lower but as B-schools look at your applications holistically and not just your score, it is important to consider them as well before giving any advice. For instance, we have helped multiple people with GMAT 680-690 (equivalent of 635 or lower in GFE) to crack ISB and top IIMs. If you wish to get further advice on this, feel free to reach out to us on support@gmatwhiz.com or block a time for discussion using this link: www.calendly.com/gmatwhiz

Hi Rommy. 66%ile isn't bad in Quant and should be fine with most programs. However, we have seen some B-schools expecting slightly more on Quant scores for certain profiles (combination of your background and nationality). Feel free to reach to us if you would like to discuss your specific case with us. Always happy to guide :)
