Hi folks,
This is Rajesh from India looking forward to Beat The GMAT with in next 2-3months. From this thread, I want to give the information like the same way how Eric has given his preparation details in a blog. But i will give the best practices. If you like just follow, if not then suggest me to improve. My only intention of doing this is because "One can learn more and get worth only by sharing it".
First day of GMAT Preparation:
Today, I am not inrush to enter into the GMAT strategies directly. Before doing that, first we should understand the GMAT how it tests us, how tricky it tests (in other words, how it tries to fool us). As we know already, GMAT tests only 10th standard basics. So, just go through the OG12 first chapter: "What is the GMAT?".
Why should we go through this OG12: 1st chapter?
Lets say some war is going on in Television, two kings were fighting each other. Assume king A and king B. King A knew the strengths and weaknesses of King B. Could we guess who wins? Definitely, we can say king A will win the war.
Here in GMAT, the GMAT Test is King B which does not know anything about the Test-taker's(King A) strengths & weaknesses. If you really want to crack the GMAT war, then you should know the plus & minus of end-to-end GMAT CAT Exam.
Once you have done with this chapter, now you are able to understand, in a war how your opponent will attack you. You are wrong, so far we came to know how GMAT CAT tests us. But we haven't gone through on what basis it will test us.
So, for that we should chart down the syllabus of GMAT. You should go through the syllabus of GMAT CAT what it will test exactly.
We should go through the syllabus, at the same time, we should know our strengths & weaknesses. Now, the problem is how will we identify that particular item is our strength or weakness. Its not at all problem, for example lets take GEOMETRY. By the name we have some idea about it. If still you are not able to identify, then go through the overview of GEOMETRY concepts in MATH/Quant Review of OG12. Its a bit annoying task, but we should identify those strengths and weaknesses. To chart down all those strengths and weaknesses, use the attached document.
Here, we are identified all our weaknesses to concentrate more on those areas.
After you identify all those areas, then take two prints and stick at your desk (or) in your study room near to you. I forgot to tell you, many forums suggests just decide your target date. I do not agree with this because its not wise idea finalizing a date without knowing the GMAT how it will test. We should have a target GMAT score rather than target date. In fact, we know that, "If you think BIG, then you will think BETTER."
SUMMARY:
1. Read 1st chapter of OG12.
2. Expect something BIG and set your target GMAT Score.
3. Chart down all strengths and weaknesses.
4. Over all idea of GMAT Syllabus.
And then plan everyday before sleeping, at what time tomorrow I can get time for preparation, once decided then stick to the time. This is the primary skill of a LEADERSHIP.
Then See you tomorrow,
Thanks,
Rajesh
