GMAT Strategy

Hi All

I have just started to prepare for GMAT , as of now i am involved in reading articles on Business and technology
from NY times and its Opinion/ Editorial page.

On Mathematics front , i am solving questions on mental maths and bit of Quant. But i don't have a study plan and materials as such.Please help me in getting the resources right so that i can start my preparation in full flow.I also look to take up the test somewhere in middle of the year so that i can target admissions next year.

Please help me in starting my preparation from a GMAT point of view.


Thanks

Hi Ajay.

The best way to move forward probably would be to familiarize yourself with the GMAT and then take a first practice test.

To that end, I suggest doing the following.

Sign up for the Veritas Question Bank, here https://www.veritasprep.com/gmat-question-bank/.

Download the free GMAT Prep software from here. https://www.mba.com/us/the-gmat-exam/pre ... tware.aspx

The GMAT Prep software contains a math review, some practice questions and two practice tests.

You could go through the math review and do the practice questions.

Then you could go to the Veritas Question bank and do some more practice questions and gain some additional familiarity with the test.

After a week or two of preparing take the first practice GMAT in the software, doing all of the sections and handling the test pretty much the way it works when one actually takes it, taking two breaks, not pausing, the whole bit.

At that point you will be familiar with the test, have a sense of what the test is like, have a baseline score and have results that you can use to determine what and how much you need to do in order to hit your score goal.

Having done that, you will be in a position to better determine what resources make sense given your particular situation and what you need to accomplish. Then you could come back here with information, including your scores and your experience, that you could provide, and you could get some great answers regarding what resources make sense for you going forward.
