Thank you for being honest and showing the realistic side. This way we can properly estimate the time we will need to prepare for gmat and taking into account the probability that it's not always the way we want it to turn out. Loved the video❤
Heyy Arif! Great video. I wanted to know in which round did you start applying to universities? as most of their first rounds start in Oct-Nov. Also my gmat is day after tomorrow and I wanted to know about the step in which we have to select 5 schools to send our scores, is that step compulsory? And if the scores are directly sent by gmac, then how do we get confirmation and what do we upload for gmat score proof while filling that university's application form?
Ive scored 42.2 percent in graduation can I still sit for the GMAT exams? And is there any college who oversees the graduation score and looks for the exam merit instead? What I am trying to ask is can I give the exam with this percentage?
Great video bro. I also have 40 days until my GMAT. I had a question- Were you able tp go through all the Manhattan guides? These guides are really lengthy and require a lot of time.
So you finished all the guides and did the OG questions? Will going through just the OG be enough? How helpful were the Manhattan and the Powerscore guides?
I am thinking to give my GMAT exam in October 1st week considering that I have to start from zero, is the time good enough I am thinking to study with magoosh lecture and Manhattan rep books
Yes Shivangi, MiM is indeed a very good option for freshers and less experienced people who want to change their field or just transition into the management side
Hey buddy! Hope you're doing good. Been on your channel for the first time, I like the video you made on your journey through the GMAT. I want to ask if it is possible for an indian candidate to get selected in ESSEC or HEC for MiM with a 690? and How did you manage to focus on other areas of your profile after completing your GMAT journey in Feb.? Please reply, Thanks.
Yes it’s possible. There is video I made on applications where I talk about my application to essec. You can check that. Also another video I made on how you can improve your profile
Hey Arif, I’ve checked out quite a number of videos from you channel, a bliss I must say. What I really want to know if I’d be able to to score a 650+ in my exam? I know it’s a vague question considering you don’t know a penny about me, I started my prep like a month back under Manya and my modules end on September 23. I plan to appear my test in first week of October . I prep like 2 hrs daily and 6-7 hrs on weekend combined.
Mock tests are definitely a good way to track your progress but they might not be a true indication of your potential. It also largely depends on the test series you’re giving. For me Manhattan test series was the closest to my actual exam whereas in both the official mba.com mocks I scored less than my actual exam
@@iArifAhmad ohh, that's strange that you scored less in your MBA. Com Mocks than in the actual one. Did you find the MBA.com more difficult than the real thing? How'd you rate the difficulty of Manhattan, MBA. Com, Kaplan against the actual exam? Thanks in advance!
Sometimes it’s also about the situation you are in. For me, no matter how much I tried I knew it wasn’t the main exam so maybe I didn’t perform at my best. Manhattans mock was a little difficult for the quant part but for the verbal part I will say that it was almost the same as the actual exam or maybe even a little less difficult. Kaplan and Veritas was about the same overall.
Thank you so much :) Yes, Filippo, I will surely recommend both Manhattan Quant and eGMAT videos and don't think that it is superfluous. Although Manhattan Quant tends to be a little harder than the actual GMAT, it definitely helps you score high on the quant section (49+). eGMAT videos, on the other hand, are so engaging and fun to watch that they hook you, and your attention span increases. I hope this helps you with your question :)
@@iArifAhmad Thank you for your reply, but actually, I was asking you about Manhattan Quant books and not mock test (maybe I explained myself poorly). Do they contain cool strategies?
Yes, I would even recommend the quant books. The strategies as such aren't so extra-ordinary but the various problem sets in the books give you a good practice. There are other materials available on the GMAT Club forum as well that I will recommend such as Quant 700-800 level questions thread. You can search simply by the term 'quant' in the GMAT Club forum :)
Selected equal number of questions from each section and solved them with a timer. For example, out of 36 questions in verbal 12 for each RC, CR and SC and then in those 12 - 3 easy, 5 medium 4 hard
Hey Yashika It varies for every individual. For some, it can take 6 months, for some it takes 2 months. Try to give some free mocks without any preparation and analyse where you stand and how much preparation you actually need. Regarding the situation of being in college, all I can say is that a person DEFINITELY has much more time than he/she would get after they start working. So my recommendation would be to get done with GMAT while still in college. Score are valid for about 4-5 years so it's a good idea to give the GMAT somewhere around your 3rd year
Thanks for explaining.. I have a lot of doubts regarding mim that i wanna pursue in 2022 intake I would really appreciate if you could help me give some guidance i have lots of questions. Whr can i contact you?
I was a working professional when I gave the GMAT. I used to study from 11pm to 2am every night and wake up the next day for my office. You just need to be disciplined. Don’t set a 3 week or a 3 month timeline initially. First develop a habit of studying for at least 2-3 hrs everyday. Then set yourself up a plan!
@@iArifAhmad haha yeah I have noticed, I have been following you for a long time Arif. I’ll be applying this year and your channel has been a great help ! We are connected on LinkedIn too
Great to see your grit and determination, Arif.
Thank you so much Siddharth :)
Thank you for being honest and showing the realistic side. This way we can properly estimate the time we will need to prepare for gmat and taking into account the probability that it's not always the way we want it to turn out. Loved the video❤
Thank you Diksha
It was exactly my aim to show just that - Plans don't always pan out in the same way.
I'm glad it was of help :)
bro if we prepare quant for CAT, can I directly write quant for GMAT or should I prepare separately? If so what's the difference?
It really helped me to glide thru all my problems! Thanks man 🙂
That's great Azhar :)
Woww!!
Loved your storytelling! And I was so excited to know your final score. Good job!!
Thank you so much Apoorva.
I am glad that the video kept you on the hook :D
Thanks...your video is very useful...you gave me new hope🙏
Glad to hear that Rahul
I am very motivated by seeing your video. I will also start my GMAT preparations now 💃🏻
Great. All the best
Great Content! Really helpful for aspiring candidates. Keep it up mate!
Thank you so much Farhan.
Crisp and clear detailing.Well done Arif 👍
Thank you
The way you explained was just wow, not even skipped a single second 👍
Thanks Kunal
Please again motivate us by making such videos

I applied in the round 3
You will get a copy on your email as well that you can attach in good application
Great use of LinkedIn , amazing video.....
Great content
Thank you Harshith
Hi Arif,
I want to pursue same thing as you are pursuing and coincidentally it's December and u also started your journey in Dec
Thanks
Keep it up bro
Great Keshav. All the best
Great video! Please do make a video about how you arrived at the decision of choosing an MiM degree instead of MBA
Sure Utkarsh. It's a little too early for me but the idea is surely in my mind.
Ive scored 42.2 percent in graduation can I still sit for the GMAT exams? And is there any college who oversees the graduation score and looks for the exam merit instead? What I am trying to ask is can I give the exam with this percentage?
You can check the GMAT's website for such information brother. I am not sure if this is something that will restrict you.
Great video bro. I also have 40 days until my GMAT. I had a question-
Were you able tp go through all the Manhattan guides? These guides are really lengthy and require a lot of time.
Yes Shashvat, I was able to go through the entire Manhattan series in about a week . You have ample amount of time to go through them at least 3 times
So you finished all the guides and did the OG questions? Will going through just the OG be enough? How helpful were the Manhattan and the Powerscore guides?
I think I have answered the very same questions through the video brother :)
That was really motivational!! Look Forward for more videos on building profile for MIM!
Thanks Aryan :)
Will surely keep on making more
Much luv💕
Thank you Arjita
I am thinking to give my GMAT exam in October 1st week considering that I have to start from zero, is the time good enough I am thinking to study with magoosh lecture and Manhattan rep books
If you want to apply in R1, then start a bit early like mid august
MIM is better for freshers like me. Thanks for this video! Really helpful 🤗😇
Yes Shivangi, MiM is indeed a very good option for freshers and less experienced people who want to change their field or just transition into the management side

Thats what I did and I was able to manage a 690. You should do. All the best
Nice video bro!!!!!
Thanks Akshat. Which part did you like the most?
@@iArifAhmad I liked the way you told about the preparation for your gmat
What's your view on the various mock tests?
Were your mock scores indicative of your actual GMAT score?
Mock tests are definitely a good way to track your progress but they might not be a true indication of your potential. It also largely depends on the test series you’re giving. For me Manhattan test series was the closest to my actual exam whereas in both the official mba.com mocks I scored less than my actual exam

Nice great work. Which book you referred for RC
I did not refer any book for RC. I saw the videos of eGMAT for RC and read editorials to increase my comprehension and speed
Inspiring
How did you create exam like simulations from a physical OG book?
Selected equal number of questions from each section and solved them with a timer. For example, out of 36 questions in verbal 12 for each RC, CR and SC and then in those 12 - 3 easy, 5 medium 4 hard
hey,
is it right to take GMAT coaching an year ago .like i am in sec year so should i start taking coachings rn?
Hey Yashika
It varies for every individual.
For some, it can take 6 months, for some it takes 2 months. Try to give some free mocks without any preparation and analyse where you stand and how much preparation you actually need.

I would really appreciate if you could help me give some guidance i have lots of questions.
Whr can i contact you?
Sure Yashika. You can drop me a DM on my Instagram page @the_sharifladka
Thank you :)
how much hours to give if you are complete beginner not good at quant and verbal and working professional too?p
I was a working professional when I gave the GMAT. I used to study from 11pm to 2am every night and wake up the next day for my office.
You just need to be disciplined.
Don’t set a 3 week or a 3 month timeline initially.
First develop a habit of studying for at least 2-3 hrs everyday.
Then set yourself up a plan!
@@iArifAhmadhow many months of preparation required if someone start from the scratch and a beginner
Brother, Did you even read what I wrote?
Badiya tha bhai. Any idea on how much the preparation is different from CAT
Thanks Adit. I will surely try to make a video on the difference between CAT and GMAT
I am a bcom student at AMU ....does ESSEC accepts application from students of non iit colleges.....
Yeah man! Of Course!
Sir can you give your notes that you have written for verbal please. I have only one month left
Sorry Nandini. Those notes are from March 2020. It’s been 3 years. I’m not even sure where those notes are right now
Do you recommend using the e-GMAT for GMAT preparation? Will it be enough for entire preparation?
Whatever I used, I have outlined it all in the description of the video. Any resource could be enough if you make the best out of it.
As an Indian student do I really need to give English profiency test (ILETS OR TOEFL) for MIM from UK?
Yes, UK is very strict about the english test results
Hi Arif, from where did u prepare RC ?
Just read newspaper articles and previous year questions
Please make a video on Manipal and your experience in Manipal.
Sure Rohit. Will definitely try to incorporate that to my plan. Tell me, what would you like to see?
@@iArifAhmad campus culture in Manipal and your personal experience in Manipal, we would love to hear that.
Which exam should I give GRE or GMAT for MIM programs
You can give both. Majority of the schools accept both.
Your story telling had me hooked till the very end!
Amazing video ☺️
Thank you Anamika :)
very inspiring..
Glad you think so Jatin!
Great👍
Thankyou Sandeep
Hi can you share your notes. It will be much helpful for beginners like us.
That video is from 2.5 years ago. I have no idea where those notes even are now.
@@iArifAhmad Ahh ok. Thanks for the reply 😊
Please make video for gre preparation too
Ok I will try
I don't have any eork experience ....so what's my chances of being selected
For which school? for which program
Amazing
Thank you Shashwat
Did you apply to B-schools in the 3rd round?
Yes Mansi, I applied to all the schools in the 3rd round :)
@@iArifAhmad Amazing! Does it really affect your chances of getting selected?
You really can't say. But to avoid such regrets later on, it's always safe to apply as early as possible
Damn good 🥰🤩
Thank you so much Priyanshi
Great Videos Mate.
One question however,
How reliable and accurate are the GMAT PREP mocks compared to the real GMAT ?
They were pretty accurate for me
Does 10th and 12th marks matter for admission in escp business school
And does it matters in essec business school
Not much
Which you prefer Gre or Gmat..?
GMAT
how to find your instagram? im not able to get it
I changed it to iarifahmad
I like your videos but the audio is a little unclear and no subs either
Unfortunately this video is from my first experience on TH-cam. I’ve gotten a lot better now 😅
@@iArifAhmad haha yeah I have noticed, I have been following you for a long time Arif. I’ll be applying this year and your channel has been a great help !
We are connected on LinkedIn too
Is the official guide bundle enough ?
Yes according to me
