Pop quiz time! Wait … did we just hear one collective groan echoing across the internet? Perhaps you just had a bad flashback to that Intro to Macroeconomics class and your palms are already getting sweaty.
Before you skip to the next post on the Business School Insider blog, read on just a little further for some valuable GMAT prep insight. Trust us, not only will you survive this pop quiz—but you’ll also come out stronger and, importantly, better prepared to hit a higher score on Test Day.
Challenge yourself to the GMAT prep pop quiz
- What is the quickest way to see if you’re ready to ace the GMAT?
- Take Kaplan’s free pop quiz for the GMAT, available here.
Of course, here at Kaplan, our job is more than just telling you the right answer to any test question. We also make it our priority to review the answers in detail so that the next time that question type comes up, you’ll know exactly how to handle it effectively and efficiently.
Let’s take a look at that question above, then, in more detail. Why should you take a Kaplan pop quiz? Here are three key reasons:
1. Get a quick snapshot of your progress
Although you won’t see the same exact questions on Test Day as you’ll get on the pop quiz, you will see the same exact test question types. Your performance on this short quiz can give you some insight, then, into the areas in which you need to focus your study.
For example, if you breezed through the Critical Reasoning test questions but struggled with the Problem Solving test questions, you will want to concentrate your prep time brushing up on some of the quantitative topics that frequently appear on the GMAT.
Of course, after you take the pop quiz and review the answers, you can take a look at Kaplan’s explanations to help get you thinking strategically like a GMAT expert.
2. Enhance your Test Day performance
Scientific research has shown that students who take practice quizzes—like Kaplan’s—as part of their study routine tend to perform better on tests. For example, in one study, “Students who had taken the practice quizzes performed better than those who just studied; their scores were three times higher.”
This finding is one reason why all Kaplan’s GMAT courses come with access to our Quiz Bank, which contains over 1,000 sample questions.
We find that the results of the pop quiz can also be motivating. If you have some room to improve, seeing your score will help you kick things into gear. You can then develop a consistent study plan and find helpful study tools to improve performance on Test Day.
3. Access free GMAT prep on your own time
Our GMAT pop quiz is an easy way to squeeze in some practice and test out your knowledge and strategies in-between checking your email or browsing the internet. You can take the quiz as many times as you’d like; the same goes for reviewing the answers and the explanations.
Once you’ve taken our pop quiz and reviewed the answer and explanations, please reach out to us at Kaplan whenever you have questions. Our goal is to support your GMAT prep so that you can get the score you need to get into the MBA program you want.
