How can you prepare?5 Ways to Prepare

for the GMAT

GMAT preparation has been likened more to a long-

distance marathon than a last minute sprint.

It requires plenty of planning and a sustained period of

study.

120 hours over 10 weeks…is the average time spent on GMAT

preparation by high-flyers.

So how can you prepare?

1. Keep a diary

Jot down your thoughts and ideas, as they come, to refer

to later.

2. Create a GMAT timetable

Flesh out hours of study vs. other commitments. This will

keep your studying patterns in check and more productive.

3. Believe in your intuitive thinking

If you’re pushed for time come the end of your GMAT, eliminate answers by using

your newly required business acumen.

4. Aim high

Ideally you should be targeting GMAT scores that

are 50 points higher than you are looking for to allow for on-

the-day fluctuations.

5. Stick to a schedule

Give yourself time milestones for the real thing

– and keep to them. Don’t be the person that runs out of

time!

say?

“Time management frequently gets glossed over. As someone who benefited greatly (a 60 point increase) in their retake exam primarily by improving time management during preparation, I believe this is an oversight.”

Jessica Toh scored 760 on her first GMAT attempt, after investing in an online test-prep course.

“During the test I kept a chart of the approximate number of questions I should have answered by a given time. If I was too far behind then I knew it was time to make an educated guess.”
