What a Navy SEAL Motto Can Teach Us About Working Through the GMAT Quant Section

Remember, you don’t get any extra points by being the first to complete the GMAT quant section, right? Rather, your goal is to complete as many GMAT quant questions as possible while completing the section in a timely manner.

Think about this Navy SEAL motto: slow is smooth, and smooth is fast. Following this motto when working through GMAT quant will help you move with efficiency and care, and ultimately help you avoid costly mistakes.

But let’s be clear about one thing: slow does not necessarily mean a crawl. Work with a comfortable level of speed and precision when you work through a GMAT quant question. You can work fast and still be precise by working with an efficient tempo.

Find the right balance of speed and precision when working through the GMAT quant section.
