How to get success in Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) Exam? Tell me the tips for preparation of exam?

[Vishal Kotkar]

Performing well on the Graduate Management Admission Test GMAT exam really comes down to time and preparation. The more time you devote to studying and taking practice exams, the more comfortable you will be on exam day.

GMAT Exam Preparation Tips-

The number of concepts that are asked in GMAT questions are finite. Therefore a good method to improve and reduce your ‘white areas’ is to keep a learning diary.

Always look at the answer choices before you start to solve a problem

Refresh yourself on the basics. The GMAT exam is a test of higher order reasoning, but you still must have a mastery of the fundamentals.

Make it a habit to read all test directions carefully.

Practice pacing, as the GMAT exam is timed and completion is important for a good score.

Read each question slowly to determine exactly what is being asked. Then eliminate the wrong answers and select the best choice.

For Critical Reasoning questions, do not read the argument first. First, read the question stem. At that point, you can determine what type of question you are to answer. Then, you can read the argument.
