4 Tips for a High GMAT Score, from Kaplan Expert Gene Suhir<\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. GMAT high scorers are really good at picking and choosing their battles wisely<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0They understand that they WILL be getting certain questions wrong on test day, and that being perfectionists can hurt them (getting a problem right after 5 minutes is a\u00a0Pyrrhic victory<\/a>).<\/li>\n
  2. High scorers recognize patterns that others don\u2019t<\/strong>, so they are able to correct the mistakes<\/a> they made previously on similar problems. \u00a0Meanwhile, others continue to make the same mistakes over and over and over again because they fail to see the similarities between the problem they\u2019re working on and the problem they got wrong previously. \u00a0In your practice, look for problems that test the same rules and concepts.<\/li>\n
  3. GMAT high scorers actually utilize ALL the resources at their disposal<\/strong>.\u00a0With a\u00a0Kaplan course<\/a>, you have the book, Quiz Bank, Smart Reports, Flex sessions<\/a>, online workshops, quizzes, Lessons On Demand, Official Test Day Experience<\/a>, etc. \u00a0While some GMAT students view the Flex sessions as optional material, high scorers view all parts of the course<\/a> as important to their progress.<\/li>\n
  4. GMAT high scorers understand that knowing rules is necessary but by no means sufficient to their success\u00a0<\/strong>\u2014 that the logic of problem solving and critical thinking is paramount. \u00a0It drives me nuts, for example, when I see students have memorized the Combination and Permutation formulas but have a very poor understanding of when and how to use them. Remember that the GMAT tests critical thinking above all!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
