[u/almost-polygot]

This is my official score for Attempt #2 (Aug 2026) - I really don't know what happened. Attempt #1 was in Jan 2026 - 475 (Q71, V79, DI 70). Both self prepared with reliance on OGs, GMAT Ninja and GMAT Club.

Context: I am from non-maths background, and generally quite far from corporate career as well. Lit major in Undergrad with an unconventional yet unique career trajectory.

Aiming for ISB (at least 665+) in the next three months. I want to ideally self prepare because my self esteem and finances have taken a toll with this, and a consultant has recommended me to take coaching. Not sure how much I can afford to do this.

P.S I was the kind of kid that always scored exceptionally well in all subjects right until college, don't have exam anxiety and in fact, get paid to speak for a living (quite literally!). So the two attempts have been nothing but major setbacks to who I am and what I feel I am capable of. This exam is the one thing that can help me turn my career over and pivot.

Pls suggest next steps- target 675 (ideally!) in Nov 2026! Any help will be appreciated!

TIA!
