Hi People, Yesterday, I took my GMAT.
Guess what…. Got a cool 760 (Maths 50 Verbal 42). Damn Cool na…. Since
I have done decently, I would just like to outline some tips which I used well during my GMAT preparation:
1. Ideal Time needed for GMAT preparation : 6-8 weeks
2. Pre-requisite : Maths Basics in place, Faint Idea about grammar (What is a noun, Pronoun, verb etc.)
3. For Maths, start by working on the basics. Algebra, Geometry and Arithmetic. This was little easy for me because I am studying for CAT too and had done it. Make a strategy for Data Sufficiency. You should be sure how to start a question.
4. For English, Kaplan Strategies are good. Really helped me. However, It is important to formulate own rules for sentence correction. While studying, make note of any error (small or big) separately.
5. Do the Original Guide very sincerely. It is preferable to do it twice.
6. Whenever practicing RC, try and solve from the screen. It is very different when you solve on paper. (Much easier).
7. Use the full time judiciously in each section. There are no extra marks for finishing early. Check and re-check before marking.
8. Powereprep tests are closest to the real thing. Hence do it!!!! The Kaplan CATs are really tough. So, don’t feel very bad if you don’t score well there.
Mail me if you have any specific queries. I don’t mind being a teacher for a change!!!!
Stay good
