4 ways to deal with anxiety while studying for GMAT

Anxiety is a problem that attacks the body but anxiety germinates in the head.

Anxiety comes from telling ourselves a bad story.

You are bad at math/english.
You can't learn so fast
You are too old...

Change the story.. change your life


4 ways to change the story

1. Think positives
marginalize the negatives.. Amplify the success stories.

2. Be unbiased
Dont jump into conclusions. Be neutral. observe your feelings and let them pass.

3. Live in the present
Dont become a fortune teller and try predicting the future.  take one step at a time.

4.Avoid being the victim
People overgenarlize where one negative event is a never-ending pattern of defeat.
This results in a distortedly darkened vision of life. Remove the blinkers and see life in totality.

Work on any of the above ..one at a time
take control of your life.

GMAT sentence correction rules

Rule: Tense consistency

Illustration:

She invited me to the party and asks me to dance.

observe the word "and"

There are two segments in this sentence.

She invited me to the party and asks me to dance.

Note the tense for each segment

“She invited me to the party” is in past tense

“asks me to dance.” is in present tense

The tense has to be consistent throughout the sentence

Correct sentence:

She invited me to the party and asked me to dance.
