Before you go on to the GMAT Study Material and the Questions (using the Links
above), here are a few Basic Strategies that will help you get a higher GMAT
score.
- Do NOT leave any section unfinished
The penalty for unfinished questions is much higher than incorrect answers. Do
NOT become emotionally involved with any question. Even if you think the
questions is outrageously difficult or outright incorrect. Just guess and move on.
- Know that time can be your biggest enemy
Certain questions by their very nature take more time to answer. The first step to
better time management is to recognize these questions.
While doing your practice tests, try to become more aware of how much time you
have taken to answer a question. You will soon begin to develop an Internal Clock
that will help you meet the pacing requirements of the GMAT and reduce test
anxiety.
- Make good use of the Scratch Paper
Many of the GMAT questions, in both the Verbal and the Quant sections, require
use of the Scratch paper. Please keep in mind that you may not be able to get as
much scratch paper as you need. Learn to confine your rough work to a minimum
in order not to run into problems at the actual Gmat Exam.
- Compare & Discard
This is immensely useful for the Verbal section of the GMAT Exam. While there
may be a 'Perfect' answer to a question, it may not appear as one of the options.
What you need to do is compare the different answer choices and choose the best
one available. In fact you can usually zero down on two choices and discard the
ones that are distinctly different from these two.
- Use Short cuts Only when necessary
As I have explained in detail in my book 'Ways of the GMAT Winners', it is
extremely important to be aware of all the possible shortcuts that are available to
you. However, these are to be used with extremely caution, especially for the first
15 questions in each section. This is important if you need an overall score of
700+.
- Analyze your Strengths & Weaknesses and create a study plan unique to
these.
The important thing here is to stick to your study plan.
- Managing Test Anxiety
More than anything else, the GMAT is an test of your nerves. There are hundreds
of brilliant students who score MUCH lower in the GMAT than they do in their
practice tests. It is important to manage your test anxiety. You can try using
techniques like 'Thought Stopping', 'Self-Talk' and 'Visualization.
I have detailed out these and other advanced strategies for getting a score of
700+ in the ebook Ways of the GMAT Winners
