GRE at the center for sure. Because, there’s less anxiety about your scores being cancelled if you take at home.   
    
 Also, I personally felt I was more in flow at the center. I scored a 325(167Q/158V) on my attempt, whereas my max mock score was 320.

Thanks for the reply, are you going for masters?

Nope, I had given it at the end of my third year just in case. Had a month to prepare. Used GregMat and Bought official GRE mocks from ETS.

Imo better to give it at a centre, you're already paying so much for the exam, might as well pay a little more for travelling. 
  
 Many things can go wrong with home test, and they're not accountable to you. Plus, some colleges don't even consider home test scores.

i gave the gre at a centre a few weeks ago - very smooth and simple process. the at home gre requires you to have a bunch of processes in place - specific sheets, whiteboards, internet connectivity etc, which distract from the focus of just giving the test.

I'm planning to give GRE in next few weeks, but the test center is not present in my city. Should I opt for GRE at home test? Like what happens in case of internet connectivity issue? Can anyone share their experience?

GRE at home vs at test centre?- Grapevine

On July 4th, i was supposed to give me GRE exam for higher studies. At the scheduled time of 11 am, i was all set to give my exam and i started it. But the ETS browser ended up not running on my laptop(Omen 15). 

I finally arranged a new laptop and started the exam. By now the time was 3pm. When i entered the exam lobby, it showed that your appointment time is gone so you cannot give the exam. The proctoru person told me to mail ETS and move on with rescheduling.

I called them and they said that they will investigate the situation and then they will think whether i can give the exam or i have to pay again and then give the exam.

Can anyone please guide me on what to expect from them at last because 22550 is not a small amount to let go of just like that. I am scared that all of my money will be forfeit and i have to pay again and then give the exam.

Need advise regarding ETS.

RoadMap Needed

Hi, I'm very new to the idea of studying abroad. I've been following couple of posts in social media which says not many universities accept GRE nowadays.
I'm a little confused if i should focus on preparing for IELTS/ TOEFL/ GRE or all 3.
I want to know what should I study to get into a good university.

Pretty much what the title says; I'm looking for a good platform to attend live online classes for GMAT. I have checked out some like Jamboree, TIME etc. but got very mixed reviews. 

Let me know if any of them are worth it, and share your experience too if you can!

P.S.: Before anyone says “try self-study,” I have a lot on my plate and lack discipline smh. Classes give you a sense of accountability, plus you're paying a lot for that shit so you're immediately compelled to take it seriously lol

Any good online coaching for GMAT prep?

Need some guidance for preparing for GMAT and CAT together in coming months. I have this understanding that pattern is different but underlying syllabus is same. 
Need nuances to some questions
1. Is this practically possible?
2. What materials to use for preparation 
3. How much time is needed for GMAT and will there be sufficient time for CAT
4. Which test series to follow in CAT and GMAT

Some context: Giving CAT and GMAT first time. No issues regarding mindset needed for competitive exams as have given them before. Also have mostly weekends for preparation due to job profile.

What would be your advise for freshers graduating this year from tier 2 and tier 3 colleges with no hopes of campus placements given the current hiring scenario?

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

I am a 26F, 3yoe in advertising and marketing. I'm tired of being in agency side and serving the brand. I wanted to shift to brand side for that I'm planning to give CAT and get an MBA from IIMs. To be honest I feel super underconfident to give a try. I am disappointed with myself and throwing a lot of self hate for this attitude towards my preparation. Anyone who has cracked CAT could teach me how to overcome this would be highly appreciated. Thank you!

Brand communications

I have been working as a Software engineer since the past 2 years (work from home), but now I will have to shift. 
I have been thinking about going for an Mba since last year and will be self-prepping, since I have the basics (I did prepare last year) I am confused on the course for preparation
I've been thinking to go full on with Mocks and tests for the time remaining (I'll start the prep now)

People who have been in similar situation, what mock test series did you find accomodating and flexible ? I would want to have as much flexibility in mock tests because some days I can devote 4-5 hrs, but some days it would be lesser. 
I've come across SIMCATs, AIMCATs and CatKing's mock series. Are they good ?

Question came up because it’s Independence Day 🇮🇳
A lot of us have had the privilege to be able to go abroad, but ended up choosing not to.

For me, it was just believing there’s enough growth here in the coming few decades + friends/family

Looking to hear if the reduced brain drain is actually true, and what makes people stay.

To people who choose to stay in India, what made you stay? 🪷

Corporate Strategist

Recently my friends moved to 4 BHK apartment near Domlur. The total rent is coming to 1 Lakh for unfurnished apartment, it has some really good amenities.

All 3 of them have offices nearby, and I work remotely for a US startup. After, furnishing and one time setup, just rent is coming to 32k. I am unsure, whether moving there would be worth it or not for me.

I really enjoy company of my friends, but the rent for me is expensive + 6 months deposit. I can definitely afford to pay that much rent, but not sure whether it’ll be good decision or not because of market conditions and tons of uncertainties. I cannot back out if I say yes.

I am super confused, one side I want to stay with friends and on other side rent and deposit is worrying me.


Would love to hear thoughts of you all. 🙏

Is it worth it to pay 32k in rent for a room in bangalore if you work remotely ?

Hey guys, like the title says, looking for the best GMAT prep places in Gurgaon.

Will start prep now and want to get done with the test by March ‘24. Open to giving multiple attempts before then because I’m aiming for a ~750 score.

Any recommendations on the best institutes to help me with the prep?

Best GMAT prep places in Gurgaon?

Guys, 
To be honest, I initially didn't have any intention of leaving India, but due to certain ongoing issues, I'm now considering pursuing an MBA or MS abroad. Here's my background:

I completed my engineering degree with average academic performance, not being a top achiever.

I have four years of work experience in Finance and as a Growth Manager at Fintech companies.

Now, I'm contemplating gaining more skills through a degree and job abroad. What steps should I follow, and do you have any recommendations? Additionally, which exams do I need to clear for this?
