Reviewing Previously Learned Topics Is Paramount!

As time passes and you learn more and more GMAT concepts and formulas, keeping everything ready for quick recall will be challenging. Thus, you must incorporate weekly review sessions into your study plan.

One fantastic and flexible review method is to use your flashcards. Flashcards are great because you can fit in a study session even if you are not sitting at your desk. Indeed, you can flip through your flashcard deck anytime, anywhere. Use them while you’re waiting for an appointment, commuting to work, or in line at the grocery store.

No review is more effective than doing mixed problem sets on previously learned topics. So, for example, let’s say it has been several weeks since you studied functions and inequalities. It makes sense that completing a 20-question quiz on those two topics would be a great idea. The results will clearly show you whether any knowledge gaps in functions or inequalities have occurred. As can be seen, bringing older topics back into the spotlight is important to limit the knowledge deficiencies that occur as you move through your study plan.
