Frequently Asked Questions

How long should I study for the GMAT?

Most students need 2-3 months of preparation (100-120 hours of study). Those with strong quantitative backgrounds may need less time, while those requiring significant improvement may need 3-4 months. Our diagnostic assessment will help determine your optimal timeline.

What's a good GMAT score?

It depends on your target schools. The global average is around 565, but competitive MBA programs typically require 650+ (top 25 schools) or 700+ (top 10 schools). Our instructors will help you set appropriate targets based on your MBA goals.

Can I retake the GMAT if I'm not satisfied with my score?

Yes! You can take the GMAT up to 5 times within 12 months and 8 times total. There's a 16-day waiting period between attempts. Many students improve significantly on their second attempt, especially after identifying weak areas through Enhanced Score Reports.

Do I need to take all four sections?
