\"Study-Plan\"<\/a>I got a call yesterday from a prospective client who sounded equal parts awestruck and discouraged. He explained that he had shown one of the sample GMAT math problems from my YouTube channel<\/a> to his colleague who looked at it and proceeded to answer it, in his head, in about 20 seconds. The same problem had taken this caller several minutes to figure out, and that was with the help of my answer explanation in the video. After relating this story, his question to me was very simple:<\/p>\n

\u201cWill I ever be able to solve GMAT problems that fast?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

I responded like any good politician might: \u201cYes and no.\u201d (Why take a stand when you can equivocate, right?)<\/p>\n

All kidding aside, the reality is that some of us may never develop a true \u201cmath brain\u201d that enables us to solve seemingly complex GMAT word problems in mere seconds. And even if we could, it probably won\u2019t happen in the few weeks or months that we\u2019ll be studying for the GMAT.<\/p>\n

But here\u2019s the good news: You don\u2019t have to become a math (or verbal) savant to score high on the GMAT.<\/p>\n

There are a handful of key GMAT content areas and test-taking strategies that, once learned and mastered, will enable even the most average of test takers to get more right answers on the GMAT in less time.<\/p>\n

In fact, that\u2019s exactly what I\u2019m going to be teaching in my live online GMAT Bootcamp<\/strong><\/a> beginning March 1st. I\u2019ll be tackling the most essential question types, strategies, and time management considerations that will enable you to dramatically boost your GMAT score after just a few hours of instruction. If you\u2019re interested in accelerating your GMAT prep, click here<\/strong><\/a> to get all the details.<\/p>\n

The GMAT in many ways is a balancing act, learning to weigh your desire to solve every problem you think you\u2019re capable of solving with the very real time constraints placed on you by the test itself. For this reason, many of the questions I receive from my students concern time management on the GMAT \u2014 specifically, how to get more right answers in less time.<\/p>\n

This video (below) addresses just those questions and also gives you a step-by-step study plan for preparing for the GMAT. As you\u2019ll see, there are four parts of the progression toward learning to solve GMAT questions more efficiently. Again, it\u2019s not about how smart you are. Rather, it\u2019s a matter of adopting these four mindsets and practicing them until they\u2019re second-nature when you go to apply them on test day. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
