How can I crack GMAT in 3 months?

It depends on how good you are. If you are brilliant then one month is enough. But for most of the people, three months is not enough to get around 700 marks. But, it is still doable if you have someone who can guide you on a regular basis and keep track of your progress. That study plan has to be custom made for you. Probably, you too can create or find a study plan for 3 months, but you have to be realistic about what score you aimed for. 660/680 is easy to get, but not 700.

Now, I will tell you how to crack GMAT in just 3 months but, you need to follow this in order. Start with a mock test. This will help you identify your strong and weak areas. If you plan to do self-study, get your hands on the best preparatory material available in the market. You can speak to your seniors. Joining a coaching institute or a study group is recommended because it gives a structure to your preparation and keeps you motivated all the time. Remember cracking GMAT is not just about working hard but working smart as well. Make a study timetable for yourself that suits you best. You can start with spending 2 hours every day and as you move closer to your test date, start increasing your study hours. Keep taking mock tests in real test taking situations. However, more important than taking a mock test is to analyse your performance in the same. If you spend two hours on a mock test, spend six hours in analysing the same. Make sure you stay consistent with your schedule. Hope it helps.

GMAT is an exam that has a lot of focus on rules and logic. That is why the verbal section of this exam is more grammar based than vocabulary based. Being an Indian GMAT aspirant, you will not face much problem in the quant section as the concept of the questions asked in this section are those that you have well read in 10th standard. Their may be a few tricks that GMAT uses that may bother you but by close analysis of the practice questions you can very make a list of all the tricks GMAT uses. Data Sufficiency questions are particularly tricky and time consuming so you might want to practice them more. The verbal section is the real challenge for Indians. However, if you are an English major, you can do very well on this section. But if you are not an English major, you will have to spend majority of your time in understanding the nuances of English grammar. Please note that the number of hours you study don't matter. The quality of you study matters. Also, please only practice and analyse the official GMAT questions.

The below two points are to be considered if you wish to crack the examination in three months: a) How many hours you can study during three months, and b) how you spend those hours(how effective you can are with your plan) Depending on your level of English, 100 to 120 hours of effective learning should suffice.The optimal time is between 6 to 8 weeks, but this amount of hours can alternatively be spread out over a longer amount of time. Less is not sufficient, and, on the other hand, if you give yourself too long, like 3 to 4 months, you'll start forgetting what you learned at the beginning. This is important because all the knowledge is interconnected. In general, those who do better tend to spend more time studying. But, studying over 100 hours does not guarantee that you will score in the 600 range. As in other cases in life, its the quality of what you do with your time, not just the quantity. The important thing to realise about the GMAT is that it's not like any other test we are used to. The GMAT exam doesn't measure your knowledge, it measures your mental flexibility. Therefore, if you wish to excel in the GMAT, its essential you work on sharpening this cognitive capability. By breaking down the GMAT experience, we can better understand what mind flexibility is. GMAT asks us to provide quick answers to unfamiliar questions. Each question serves up a different twist: a different level, uses a different set of tools, has a different length, tells a different story, can take from a few seconds to a few minutes to solve. But, most importantly, it presents us with questions that can be solved in many different ways. Unlike your high school teacher, the GMAT is not interested in learning how you solved each question. You just have to be fast enough and answer correctly if you want to have a chance to solve as many hard questions as you can in the limited time you have (hard questions generate higher scores!). You must be fast and correct. Remember: A goal without a plan is just a wish.
