2 Month Study Plan for GMAT for Arts/Humanities Candidates

Overview es 2Arts and HumanitiesRegistrationExam PatternOverview en 2Practice PaperResultCut offmock testNews

2 month study plan for GMAT for arts/humanities students focuses mainly on the quant section. GMAT study schedules are mostly created for every kind of aspirant. But there are numerous GMAT aspirants coming from humanities backgrounds who slightly lag behind in the quant section. This GMAT planner is created with a balanced focus on both quant and verbal but slightly more on the former. 

How Hard is GMAT Quant?

Before beginning let us provide the arts/humanities candidates an idea of whether they should even worry about the GMAT quant section. Firstly, the GMAT quant is mostly about logic and hardly involves calculation. This makes those candidates stress a little less about mugging up formulas as majorly the reasonable talent is needed (which most of the candidates possess). The GMAT quant section is majorly based on high-school mathematical topics like algebra, arithmetic, geometry, and word problems. This involves mostly the fundamental math knowledge and if you’ve trouble understanding that then beginning your GMAT preparation a month earlier will help too.

TAPMI’s WAT includes questions that are mostly related to general knowledge and current affairs. WAT is basically how strong you are in written skills. Try reading current affairs topics from there only. It's all about how you tell them. Write clearly point to point and do not use jargon or bug words. They don't fetch any more points. Just make your point clear.

PI mostly has questions derived from your past experiences, academics, and sometimes current happenings around the world. If you’re aware of and following at least one news source for around 4 months before your PI, you are good to go.

Read the form that you filled out. That's the first thing they are going to ask. Be confident and do not try to beat around the bush. If you do not know something it's ok as long as you say it. But that being said, do not go completely blank.

Several factors affect the chance of a candidate getting a seat in ISB Hyderabad. Not only the GMAT score, but also the application profile, essays, and performance in the interview combined together decides whether a candidate should get a seat or not in such an elite institute. The points listed below are some important aspects to consider for admission to such institutes.

  • GMAT score is not the only criteria for getting a seat, but the door to get an interview call. The quality of essays written by the candidate, his/her application/ profile, and the performance in the interviews are also considered.
  • For candidates with an average profile, a GMAT score of 720+, along with a complete application and a good essay can be considered to have high chances to receive an interview call. After having a call, the rest depends on how the candidate will perform in his/her interview.

This is the overall scenario for admission in ISB Hyderabad, for a student with an average profile.
