Hey Tara!

A good GMAT score helps you obtain admission to one of the top B-schools globally. According to experts, a score anywhere between 670 to 700 is considered good. But if you aspire to enter one of the Ivy League colleges, you need to aim higher.

A good GMAT score also depends on the competitiveness of the program you are planning to pursue. Consider these four factors to determine whether your GMAT score is good-

Previous batch’s average GMAT score.
The GMAT score required for obtaining a scholarship.
The estimated ROI on the basis of the GMAT score.
Class profile of the previous year.
Anything above 700 is considered a great GMAT score, and your choice of MBA college should drive you to achieve that.

The cut-off varies from university to university. I'd advise you to decide upon the course and the university you want to target and look at their GMAT score cut-off.
Some top universities accept a score range of 610 to 780. These include:

University of Chicago London Business School University of Cambridge Northwestern University
Some universities have a cut-off range of 600-700. These include: McGill University University of Toronto

Hi Natasha,

Honestly, it shouldn't take you more than 2-3 months.

Follow these steps-

Book your exam dates well in advance
Use practice materials from Manhattan Prep, Kaplan, Magoosh, and GMAC
Watch YouTube videos for tips and tricks
Join various FB groups for exam prep to stay updated
Take as many mock tests as you can

The first thing to do is get in touch with the business school you want to apply to and make sure they’re accepting the scores of the GMAT Online Exam.
If they do, see if you have a quiet room, and the required system settings and writing materials needed to take the test.
For those who don’t have a quiet room or the required settings and materials, we suggest you wait. GMAT test centers have already started to reopen in some of the areas.

A lot of factors go into making that decision-

Technical Requirements Environment Requirements Writing Materials Exam pattern

The pros of GMAT online are-
