Beat the Gmat by anyhow

by T00m » Tue Jun 10, 2008 2:01 am
Hello everyone. It is great to be one of the members in the most helpful forum for the Gmat that is Beat the Gmat. I have so hard time preparing for Gmat test, which is going to be in June 19. I've been studying for two months but I still don't have confident to beat the gmat. I don't know what I shoud do for the coming days which are from today till the test day. I wanna some advises. As soon as I beat this challenging test, I'll be the most happiest person probably in all the world. I don't need to score more than 700. I would say that 500 is fabolous.

well, that's an awfully general question, but here are some generic words of advice that will certainly be useful:
* FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE QUESTION TYPES: many students score lower than they could, simply because they don't take the time to understand the basic question types that appear on the test, most notable DATA SUFFICIENCY.
get the official guide, and pay attention to the MOST BASIC data sufficiency problems until you have a SOLID CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING of the way these problems work. only once you do this should you graduate to more difficult problems, especially if your score goals are modest.
* STUDY THE OFFICIAL GUIDE PROBLEMS.
don't just DO the problems; actually ANALYZE the problems to see what types of mistakes you're making, what types of traps you're falling into, and what CONNECTIONS you can make between different problems on the same topic.
* whenever you're studying a problem, you should concentrate not on the problem itself, but on GENERAL LESSONS that you can take from the problem and apply to other problems.

do you have any more specific questions?
