April 1st<\/sup>\u00a0is here, and you know what that means: pranks, jokes, and odd press releases in which companies make outrageous claims, like: \u201cWow, Google says they\u2019re going to set up a colony on Mars!<\/em>\u201d . . . \u201cHey, Nike has invented an anti-gravity shoe!<\/em>\u201d . . . \u201cWhoa, did you see that Taco Bell is going to start serving breakfast?<\/em>\u201d (Wait, that one is true<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

On one level, most of us are naturally skeptical of any seemingly suspicious claim made on April Fools\u2019 Day. One another level, what harm is it to entertain the thought? Perhaps some of us choose to believe these stories simply because we want them to be true.<\/p>\n

When it comes to the GMAT, be careful to separate what you want to be true, and what is actually true. Don\u2019t fall for the common misconceptions that so many test-takers believe.<\/p>\n
