For MBA applicants, the dreaded GMAT is usually the most important obstacle on the long road to graduate school. And while most faculties now accept the GRE, admissions staff still see the GMAT as a founding pillar of any successful MBA application. To score high within the GMAT requires diligence, focus, and honesty together with your weak areas. If you do not get to steel oneself against it, count yourself within the genius category!
Efficiency is vital. compute what you’re bad at within the first week by taking a diagnostic assay then specialize in the weak points.
Here are three pieces of recommendation for Get a 700+ on the GMAT.
1.Know your preferred learning style, and find a resource that matches.
2. Watch the clock.
3. Minimize exam day stress
