Just two days before his actual test, he scored a disappointing 645 on a practice exam.

Often his scores in mock tests went down after a rigorous prep, leading to frustration. But being a fierce soldier, he knew how to fight back. He overcame the challenges, did a lot of introspection and careful analysis of his mistakes, held many talk sessions with his tutors and his mentor, who is also a moderator on GMAT Club. And eventually scored 99th percentile on GMAT Focus edition after 2 years of preparation. So guys, get ready as we uncover the remarkable tale of Major Mukul Kumar's journey from soldier to scholar.
