 How to ace the GMAT in 2 months

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..


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.

 

GMAT Data insights

 tests your ability to analyse, synthesize, 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 150 Integrated reasoning questions.


You need to do

20 math section tests and 20 verbal section tests

5+ mock CATs to get test confidence.
