Your preparation is led by someone who knows the pressure, the pacing decisions and the work required to turn weaknesses into a 740-level performance.
Sabyasachi Kar
GMAT 740 · 100 Percentile Quant
Sabyasachi scored a 740 on the GMAT with a 100 percentile in Quant — a result he built entirely through self-study, which is exactly why his teaching works for both self-paced learners and live-class students.
Every Quant and Verbal lesson here is taught by him personally, following the same sequence he used himself: concept clarity first, then timed application, then mock-based refinement with an error log that kills repeat mistakes. In live classes you see him solve problems in real time and ask doubts on the spot; in self-paced mode you revisit the same lessons whenever you need. Nothing is outsourced to a second faculty member — one voice, one method, start to finish.
Quant, taught at the top

MBA-application aware

“A 740 isn't about doing more questions — it's about knowing exactly why you got one wrong and never repeating it. That's what this program drills into you.”

MBA admits who started their GMAT here
Real Focus Edition scores and real B-school admits from students who trained with StudyArk.
Dhruv Mehta
“Working full-time while preparing my application was challenging. I initially kept postponing things because I didn't have a proper schedule. Once the process was broken down into smaller milestones, staying consistent became much easier.”
Kabir Jain
“I had taken the GMAT once before and wasn't happy with my score. Shailendra Sir at Study Ark helped me analyse where I was losing marks instead of simply asking me to study more. My preparation became much more targeted the second time.”
Yash Agarwal
“I was struggling to decide whether I should apply this year or gain more experience first. My mentor evaluated my profile honestly and helped me understand where I stood instead of simply encouraging me to apply everywhere.”
Karan Bhatia
“My work experience was good, but I wasn't confident about my story. The mock interviews were especially useful because they made me think about my career decisions from a completely different perspective. By the time I reached the actual interview, I knew exactly what I wanted to communicate.”
