This is how you can self-study for the GMAT Exam and get 750+
The tendency to score as high as possible in any entrance examination purely depends on how well you prepare for the exam and how consistent and focussed you are throughout your preparation. The concepts of GMAT must be on your fingertips in order to ace the exam. A score greater than 750 is tough to achieve without sheer commitment however it is not impossible to achieve it as there have been candidates achieving a score more than 750 in GMAT.
You can consider tutoring if possible but if not, there’s nothing to worry about as tutoring would just help you be regular. The main task depends upon you. No matter how many ever-coaching institutes you take, if you lack the tool of self-study, you’ll land up nowhere. Self-study is majorly responsible for cracking any entrance examination. Coaching only gives you an edge over the others through keeping you consistent. But if you can be regular by yourself, then coaching is nowhere required in your preparation.
Well if you follow the given tips and tricks, it is certain that you may cross the mark of 750 in the GMAT Exam by self-study:
Planning
Prepare a well scheduled time table and prepare the one which is possible for you to follow. Don’t prepare an over-straining, hectic or a timetable which is impossible to schedule.
Execution
Just planning a timetable and not following it is not going to be of any help. Prepare a time table and follow it regularly and be consistent throughout your preparation.
Commencement of Preparation
Start at the least 4-6 months before the date of your examination. Start as soon as possible if you are not left with that much time before the examination. In fact, it is better to start off as early as possible because you are the master of your own caliber and thus you will know better whether how much practice you would require in a particular section.
Mock Tests
Solve as many mock tests as possible. Also, make sure to time each test and review the solutions for each question. If you don’t check the solutions and only keep solving, you can repeat the mistakes over and over again, thus repeating the same in the main exam and I’m sure you would not want to do that.
Previous Year’s Papers
Go through previous years question papers as this will give you an idea about the type of questions which appear in the papers. This is one mistake which people underestimate and skip.
Time Management
Time management plays a very important role as you only have 3.5 hours to solve all the four sections and they are very lengthy. Each section should be timed properly. Also, solve each section based on which you are comfortable with solving first.
Reviewing all tough questions
Now, this is the part which will benefit you during the last few days of your GMAT Preparation. Prepare a book and write down all the tough questions or the ones you couldn’t solve or the important questions. If you are comfortable with marking them then you could even mark all the important questions. Go through all the papers and books and then summarize it into a book so that you wouldn’t have to go through all of them again and you would be saving a lot of time during the last few days of revision.
