Maximize your GMAT score in a month

 

If you are planning to take the GMAT in a month,  you need to work on SMART goals

S - Specific

M- Measurable

A- Achievable

R - Relevant

T- Time bound 

It would be beneficial, if you work with a GMAT tutor, who can design a custom-made program for you.

When students ask me to design a program, I usually focus on certain points.  Here are some of them

MATH cues

To aim for a good score in math section, you need to be good at questions, which test your mathematical ability and questions, which test your mathematical reasoning/logic.

You need to	some of the activities, which I suggest
1. Remember all the math formula	Collect all the relevant math rules and formulae. Revise them daily
2. Solve 500+ concept-based and application-based sums	Certain math questions are based on concepts . Others are based on concepts+ logic. You need a separate strategy for each To know about the math specific skill sets ..click here.
3. Solve a question in 60 seconds to 90 seconds	Learn time saving strategies like substitution/possibility generation… Some strategies are discussed ..click here.
4. Identify weak areas and rectify them	Maintain an error Log(document). The error log will help you identify weak areas easily.
5. Pace yourself properly during the test	Work on 20+ timed section tests. Spend more time on the first 10 questions and less time on the last 10 questions in a section test.  Understand GMAT pacing  here
6. Leave your ego aside and guess an answer, if you are not able to solve in 60 seconds	Make calculated guesses. you can still hit a Q50 score with 2-3 mistakes. However, there is a heavy penalty on leaving questions unanswered.
7. Follow a problem-solving process, so that you don’t get stuck while solving a question	Devise broad strategies which you can apply to a genre of sums. Discussion on the problem solving process  ..click here.
8. Follow a reasoning-based approach if you have a non-math background	Learn how to use logic more than math Click here to see how you can use reasoning skills to solve problems
9. Compile all the notes/short cuts/strategies in one notebook	Buy a good GMAT quant book apart from the official guide. Ping me if you want my notes.

Verbal cues

1.Work on sentence correction. In a short time, you can see results, if you follow the correct SC cues.

 2.Critical Reasoning can be a little more difficult to improve upon. If you work with strategies, your accuracy rate will zoom upwards.

3. Reading Comprehension is a bit crucial when it comes to improvement, for, if you do not comprehend a passage well you will end up making repeated mistakes. So you need to develop basic reading skills. Read read read.. there is no substitute for reading.

You need to	some of the activities, which i suggest
1. Remember all the grammar rules, that are often tested in the GMAT	Make a list of the 25 most often tested errors. Study them many times. Some errors are discussed here
2. Solve SC questions of various difficulty levels	Learn how to use logic more than just verbal rules to tackle harder questions how do I improve my sentence correction score click here
3. Learn critical reading – A reading style which will help you break complex RC passages into manageable chunks.	Read articles of different genres. Practice micro-skills- summary writing/passage mapping.. More on this here
4. Take logic lessons to  tackle the critical reasoning(CR) section	Derive an approach for the 10 critical reasoning question types. Practice micro-skills -diagramming/ logic identification Understand diagramming as a micro-skill for CR here
5. Solve question in 60 seconds to 90 seconds	Learn time saving strategies
6. Identify weak areas and rectify them	Maintain an error log/document
7. Pace yourself properly during the test	Work on 20+ timed section tests. Spend more time on the first 10 questions and less time on the last 10 questions
8.Leave your ego aside and guess the answer	Make calculated guesses. you can still hit a V 40 score with 2-3 mistakes. However, there is a heavy penalty on leaving questions unanswered.
9. Compile all the notes/short cuts/strategies in one notebook	Buy a good GMAT verbal book apart from the official guide. Ping me if you want my notes.

Happy learning !!
