How to Start GMAT Preparation

Hello, here I am providing you the tips to prepare for the GMAT Exam as under:

Consistency over intensity
One can compare GMAT prep with learning to play chess. It is not only necessary to learn and know all the concepts and tricks; it is also essential to be confident and quick in using them.

Train to use laminated drawing board during GMAT Prep
Many test centers offer only laminated drawing boards for calculations and sketches during the test.

Set an exponential GMAT prep timetable
It goes without saying that you need to leave enough time and plan effectively during GMAT preparation.

Create a learning diary
The number of concepts that are asked in GMAT questions are finite. Therefore a good method to improve and reduce your ‘white areas’ is to keep a learning diary

Practice educated guessing
A good method in dealing with GMAT questions (especially in the verbal section) to which you are not absolutely certain of the answer is ‘educated guessing’.

Problem Solving
“Always look at the answer choices before you start to solve a problem”

Everything You Need To Know About Time Management
Time management is an essential skill for GMAT success. Here's how you master it.

Critical Reasoning:
Focus on the specifics of the argument and ignore any answer choices that don’t directly address the linear logic of the argument.

Try to overshoot your target GMAT Score
Even if you don’t necessarily need a 700+ GMAT score for your MBA application – maybe only 500 or 600 – it is still wise to overshoot during preparation in order to more or less safely reach your required score.

Focus on your weaknesses, but in a measured way
One should always know the GMAT test areas in which one is weakest. Nevertheless, a big mistake is to focus only on one weakness for too great a period of time, since GMAT knowledge can also be forgotten easily and quickly.
