You must approach your work with a mindful and methodical approach when answering GMAT questions. For many test-takers, this approach involves doing something they dread: slowing down during their examinations.

Concentrate on the problem at hand. Move slowly and methodically through it; this will help you make fewer careless mistakes and improve your score significantly.

Concentrate intently on each problem, working through each step as efficiently as possible. Don’t rush through the problem-solving process.

Honestly, it is better to take your time and avoid silly mistakes on four questions — even if doing so forces you to guess on the last question because you ran out of time — than to rush through those four questions and get them all wrong because you made mindless, avoidable mistakes.
