Create an error log (data base of questions where you went wrong in)
After doing a test, collect the questions which you went wrong in. Revise the incorrect questions once a week. See if you can recollect the errors and the right approach. In my 12 years of experience, some students would collect at least 1,500 questions and went over them the week leading up to the exam.

There are many ways to read an article.
When we read a novel, we read it one way. a textbook another way
When we read an important document - company offer letter or a sale deed, we read it differently.
While reading this book - " How To Read A Book by Mortimer Adler", I noticed that we can use the analytical reading style for GMAT reading comprehension.
Excerpts from the book
This is the most basic level of reading, where the reader simply reads the words on the page without much thought or analysis.
It's the kind of reading you do when you're reading a novel for entertainment, or when you re reading a text message from a friend.
At this level, the reader is skimming the text to get a general idea of what it's about. This might involve reading the table of contents, the introduction, or the first and last paragraphs of a chapter.
The goal is to get a sense of the main points and the structure of the text.
This level of reading involves a deeper analysis of the text. The reader is looking for the author's main argument, the evidence they use to support it, and the logical structure of their argument.
This might involve taking notes, underlining key passages, or writing summaries of each section.
This is the highest level of reading, where the reader is comparing and contrasting the ideas in multiple texts on the same topic.
The goal is to gain a deeper understanding of the subject by seeing how different authors approach it. This might involve creating a chart or a diagram to show the relationships between the different texts.
The analytical reading style can be taught.
You need to sit through 10-20 hrs of reading sessions to get the grasp of it.

The Context:
If you see yourself in a leadership role in management or consulting, MBA will be helpful.
The MBA course covers marketing, finance and economics. The skills you learn will help you tackle scenarios which you will encounter as business leader
If you like to specialize in a particular field, a masters degree or a PhD is a better option.
So now comes the critical question:
Should I do the GMAT or the GRE?
If you are unsure which one to do. Do the GRE. Your options are more as you can opt for masters in science or business or a Phd. Many B-schools take GRE.
Keep in mind B-schools will accept both GRE and GMAT, the admissions committee may prefer that you take the GMAT. Do your research and ask around.
What is common to the GRE and GMAT?
The difference:
GRE quant is easier than GMAT quant, but since GRE verbal is vocabulary heavy, you won't likely find GRE verbal any easier than GMAT verbal, and you may find that learning the vocabulary you need for GRE verbal is a huge task.If vocabulary is your strength, then take the GRE.
If you prepare effectively for GMAT quant and verbal, you should be able to increase your quant and verbal scores significantly in two months
Bonus tip:
Even though many business schools accept both the GMAT and GRE for admission, think about your post-MBA plans. If you’re looking to get into finance or consulting, beware that some of the top firms will look at your GMAT score as an element of your recruitment.

(D) The incidents of honey poisoning that are related in the ancient texts occurred in the springtime or in the early summer.
