Crack GMAT Statistics & Get 700+ | Ivy League Instructor

You may watch the video, however, I thought it best to emphasize the video with an article. You would not believe that I have come across hundreds of students in the past who have tried everything - Magoosh, TTP, Kaplan, Manhattan, GMATClub, and everything else and still cannot score 700 on GMAT. Why? Because it is never about the quantity of material. It is about quality. It is about TakeAways! What you take away from each question you do, is the most important thing. I have taught students who scored 700+ just by practicing official guides to GMAT. So here is my mantra:

"Quality Over Quantity. Don't do different things, do things differently. Focus on takeaways!" 

Preparing for the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) can be a daunting task. However, with the right approach and mindset, you can conquer this standardized test and achieve the scores you need to pursue your dream of getting an MBA. Here are some tips to help you approach your GMAT preparation:

1. Quality over quantity of material It's easy to get lost in the sea of GMAT prep materials available in the market. However, it's important to focus on quality over quantity. Rather than trying to study every material out there, choose a few good resources that align with your learning style and preferences. Focusing on quality materials can help you save time and avoid confusion.

2. Review questions until you really understand them The GMAT tests your ability to solve complex problems under time pressure. To succeed, you need to not only solve the problems correctly but also understand how you arrived at the solution. When practicing questions, take the time to review them even if you got them right. Ensure you understand the underlying concepts, logic, and reasoning behind each solution.

3. Find more time-effective ways of solving a problem Time management is critical on the GMAT. One of the keys to improving your score is finding more efficient ways to solve problems. Look for shortcuts, tips, and tricks to help you save time without sacrificing accuracy. Keep in mind that there are multiple ways to solve a problem, and some methods may be faster than others.

4. Use the official guide as much as possible The Official Guide for GMAT Review is the most trusted and reliable source of GMAT questions. It's essential to practice with official questions to get a feel for the types of questions and format of the test. Additionally, the official guide provides detailed explanations of answers, making it an excellent resource for reviewing concepts.

5. Keep a log of your mistakes as well as your lessons It's crucial to track your progress and identify areas where you need improvement. Keep a log of the mistakes you make, the lessons you learn, and the progress you make. This log will help you stay organized, focused, and motivated throughout your preparation.

6. Improve speed by improving calculations The GMAT Quantitative section requires you to do calculations quickly and accurately. Improving your calculation speed can help you save valuable time on the test. Practice mental math, learn multiplication tables up to 20, and use approximation techniques to quickly estimate the answer.

In conclusion, approaching GMAT preparation requires a combination of discipline, focus, and dedication. By prioritizing quality materials, reviewing questions until you really understand them, finding time-effective ways of solving problems, using the official guide, keeping a log of your mistakes, and improving calculation speed, you can achieve your desired GMAT scores and unlock your potential for success in the business world.
