Hi there

I am wondering how much studying for the gmat translates into everyday life.

For the people who improved their score through studying hard, do you feel sharper/smarter?

Are you able to analyze real life problems better?



I am just curious because I am considering studying for it, but I would be much more interested if I thought that it would also improve my general intelligence, analysis of everyday problems and overall quality of work.

Any thoughts?

thanks

During my GMAT prep I definitely felt more stupid. The reason why is that this test features material that was covered in my early highschool days, and I had pretty much forgotten everything.

The GMAT is definitely not an intelligence test. And so far, I don't think that this test has helped me analyze problems better. However, I won't discount the skills that you learn either; if anything you'll need to come back to this material again when you're at business school taking quant classes. :)
