How can I crack GMAT in 6 months?

Preparation can be of three types: self, self plus coaching, coaching. It depends on whether you are a working professional or a student. So, if you are working you have to prepare either by self-using the correspondence booklets or you can take the option of taking weekend coaching classes. Also, you can buy some famous books used for the preparation of MBA entrance exams. But if you are a student then you have a good amount of time to prepare. So you can use the correspondence course and books initially for self-preparation and later can join coaching classes for brushing up your preparation with added techniques. So, any MBA entrance exam has generally three sections- quantitative aptitude, logical reasoning & data interpretation and verbal reasoning along with the study of general current affairs. So, depending on your strengths, weakness and speed, prepare the three sections accordingly and nail the exam. Both written and verbal communication is vital for GMAT, so prepare this part thoroughly.

GMAT is known as the gatekeeper of MBA is no pushover. Preparation needs to take place over a good number of months in order to give yourself the best chance of success. The number of concepts that are asked in GMAT questions is finite. Therefore, a good method to improve and reduce your white areas is to keep a learning diary. This means, one should write down every unknown prep question and try to understand the correct answer and concept behind them. It is not only necessary to learn and know all the concepts and tricks, but it is also essential to be confident and quick in using them. This means doing quick calculations in the quant section. To improve this skill, it is better to have shorter, daily training sessions rather than cramming during the weekend. One can get good GMAT mock test from many sources. The good thing about prep tests used is that most of them use an adaptive question algorithm as the real test does. Therefore, it is a good method to use the same prep test multiple times, because as you improve, you will face different problems. One should always know the GMAT test areas in which one is weak. Nevertheless, a big mistake is to focus only on one weakness for too great a period of time, since GMAT knowledge can also be forgotten easily and quickly. A good method can be to set a certain base level of prep questions in each category to do on each day. Hope it helps. All the best.

Hi, The roadmap you follow will ultimately depend on your caliber. However, the basic tip is to first take a diagnostic test, even before you start studying, a diagnostic test or a practice test will help you figure out what your areas of weakness and strengths are. You can then revise after knowing the exact situation you are in. Start with the basics and fundamentals which is particularly required in the quants section. Create a study plan according to the practice test result, follow a systematic approach and follow the routine. Take practice tests on a regular basis. It is also seen that many students while trying to improve their weaker areas do not pay much attention to the other specific areas where they are supposedly strong at, which in turn leads to a disappointed result. One should in fact stress on the strong areas more. Take short study sessions, and regular breaks are advisable. Keep yourself updated with current affairs, keep reading journals, learn new vocabulary every day and be ahead of the race.
