Do One-Minute GMAT Exercises at Every Opportunity

Think of all the minutes each day that you waste or spend engaging in mindless activity, such as waiting in line at the grocery store, filling your car with gas, walking the dog, waiting for the server to bring your lunch, or brushing your teeth. Make a habit of quizzing yourself during these moments. You don’t necessarily have to bring out the flashcards; just mentally review some items that require quick recall, such as the quadratic formula or the assumption negation technique.

A friend of mine memorized Hamlet’s soliloquy (“To be or not to be…”) during waiting time over a period of two weeks. Don’t underestimate the power of these free moments, which produce opportunities for strengthening your knowledge and aiding in your overall retention of pesky formulas and important details.
