Can you ACE THE GMAT in 1 month?

Can you ace the GMAT in 1 month?…..YES..... You can....

Let me take you through my plan.

This 1- month plan has been tried and tested on our students. 

The course books, 8 of them, are designed for GMAT aspirants with no prior preparatory experience. The books are designed by academicians with over 15+ years of GMAT teaching experience. 

Does this plan work?

Yes…

Some of our students have jumped 250 points from 450 to 700. Others have jumped from 650 to 720. Others have hit 780.  

I’m confident. You will score high, if you follow the plan.

We make a customized study plan for each student..as each learner is different

Lets take each section of the exam

Reading comprehension

GMAT passages are mostly abstract, drawn from varied sources- sciences, history, art, philosophy, literary criticism. The questions require you to read critically. We teach you critical reading dynamics. That is

• Drawing inferences from the passage
• Distinguishing between topic and the emotional content of a passage
• Recognizing the tone of a passage, attitude of the author
• Identifying the organisation and structure of the passage

Extensive passage analysis and discussion will empower you to read GMAT passages critically. Follow up reading practice ensures that you practice all types of passages and questions that appear in the exam.

Our action plan: Read 150 passages.

Students are given a curated compilation of passages.  First easy passages, then medium, then difficult..

Sentence correction (SC)

GMAT SC tests both correctness and effectiveness of expression. A thorough survey of all rules that constitute standard sentence formation constitutes the first module of  SC course.

An exhaustive list of idioms tested on the GMAT is discussed with illustrative sentences. Clear distinction between awkward vs effective, clear vs ambiguous, wordy vs concise etc in the context of real GMAT questions will give you test confidence. The most common GMAT SC errors- 25 error types- are discussed with multiple illustrations, and practised on hundreds of multiple choice questions. Notes and drills ensure review of rules.

Our action plan: We will take you through the 25 SC errors in-depth. 

 You will 

• learn how to identify these errors using clues.
• be able to spot errors in less than 30 seconds.

You will be working on 500+ SC questions..

A PARTIAL LIST OF SC ERRORS.

• Misplaced modifier 
• Wordiness
• Un-idiomatic construction
• Conditionals
• Tense inconsistency
• Unclear use of 'which'
• countable vs non-countable nouns         
• Illogical comparison
• Lack of clear subject
• Incomplete comparison     
• Faulty diction
• Meaning conformity           

 

Critical reasoning (CR)

Let’s face it. Few college books teach you to think critically. Hence, essential skills of reasoning have to be mastered now for GMAT CR success. This is precisely why our course is designed with an introductory module on basics of logic theory carefully illustrated with arguments as they appear in GMAT. Elements of logic theory comprise inductive and deductive arguments, methods of argument analysis and evaluation, common logical fallacies.

In our interactives we’ll teach you, step by step, how to analyze issues, reason logically, and argue effectively. Our approaches to the 15 different types of CR questions - the first ever exhaustive listing - will ready you for the real test. The specific skills you acquire are:

• breaking down argument into its parts, to see what conclusion is drawn and how it is supported
• recognizing the line of reasoning employed in an argument
• checking logical validity of claims
• offering counter arguments using relevant hypothetical data
• supplying additional information
• drawing inference from the argument
• identifying logically similar arguments
• defining relationship between arguments
• evaluating a given argument for consistency

Our action plan: We will teach you the 15 question types and the algorithm for each type.

You will be put through drills (500+ cr questions)

Problem solving and Data Sufficiency

The questions you get in the quantitative section of the GMAT, are drawn from arithmetic, algebra, geometry and statistics. We teach you math in 3 stages.

• Stage 1 of your preparation will involve thorough review of elementary math concepts
• Stage 2 involves application of concepts to problems in quantitative setting
• Stage 3 involves quantitative reasoning – strategies for data sufficiency, short cuts approaches to problem solving such as
• problem conversion and simplification
• working with answer option
• verifying adequacy of data
• estimating ranges of values which can satisfy the given relationship

 Our action plan

• refresh math concepts thrice
• learn reasoning skills, which can help a student solve a question in less than 30 seconds

You need to work on 700+ questions.

Also

GMAT Integrated reasoning (IR)

 tests your ability to analyse, synthesise, compare, contrast, infer from, integrate and judge data presented in multiple formats such as verbal texts, graphs, tables and charts.

IR tests both your numerical ability and logical skills. Your math and reasoning skills learnt in the other sections of the test will help you in this section.

We teach you how to interpret graphs, sort tabular data, draw conclusions by integrating data from multiple sources, and make decisions.

Extensive practice of IR questions will prepare you for the test.

Our action plan: You  are made to work on 50 Integrated reasoning questions.

GMAT Analytical writing assessment (AWA) 

tests your ability to critically analyse a case study. Your reasoning skills learnt in the other sections of the test will help you in this section.

Our action plan: You need to write 10 analytical writing essays using the approaches taught earlier in SC and CR.

Also 

You need to do 

• 20 math section tests and 20 verbal section tests
• 5+ mock CATs to get test confidence.
