Get serious
about GMAT (Here are 6 pointers)
1. Avoid
booking a test date and then starting your preparation. A common practice. Let’s not
underestimate the exam. There is lots to learn. In all likelihood the prep time
that you earmarked would turn out to be much less than required.
2. Before you start working out math, grammar etc, make a list of all that is totally new to
you. Refer to official publication, search online or meet a good instructor
to assist you in this task.
3. Do a
skill check: Knowing the concept is good, but your ability to apply the
concept to answer a question is a different ball game altogether. At every
stage of concept, learning do multiple choice questions and check your test
skills.
4. Learn
from mistakes, not yours but others’.
What are other test aspirants saying? You can’t take everything to be true. But
a good observation can help you avoid
the common blunders.
5. Ensure that you master every single rule, concept and logic. You are not taking a
semester exam to choose ’important’ chapters.
6.Your practice
test scores should be real, not
inflated. You ought to consistently score at levels that match your target
score, say, in 5 full exams, including
essay and IR)
