I am notoriously bad at test taking, so I knew the GMAT was going to be my biggest barrier when it came to applying for business school, which generally is what deters people from even considering the benefits of an MBA!
These are the stages I approached my test prep with:
These are the stages I approached my test prep with:
- Learning the Content
Learning the content and the tricks is really where TTP was extremely helpful. I was able to get through the content really quickly because it was so flexible. I am generally good at math, so I was able to fly through sections, but I still made sure to go through all of the math content because TTP did a really good job of teaching commonly-used tricks on the exam. This was helpful because standardized testing is about understanding, but also about being able to get through as many questions as quickly as possible to leave time for the highly variable questions. The verbal sections in TTP were by far the best questions that I saw throughout my prep. The repetition and explanations were extremely helpful, even for someone that hasn't taken so many english classes like me. - Practice Tests
The next phase for me was going through practice tests. This was surprisingly a little difficult for me to transition from going through content to practice tests. As well as I as going on TTP, I was expecting it to translate right away. Something that I underestimated for this test was attention span. Even though I was working long and focused consulting hours, I still had trouble with the length of the test. This phase also exposed the topic weaknesses I had. For me some of the statistics tricks were tripping me up, so I was spending a lot of time and getting questions wrong. Once I was able to identify the specific topics and questions that were really bogging me down, I was able to develop a better test strategy. A piece of advice that I found really helpful was to focus my final study time on the sections and questions that will get my into the high percentiles. So, for example, I was spending a lot of time trying to get a perfect score in the quant section, but that was not where I had the most opportunity to increase my percentile. I dedicated for time to nailing business insights because that is where the most percentile points were. - Building Test Day Routine
Finally, in the last 2 weeks ramping up to test day, I built and perfected a really solid routine that made me perform my best on the test. I found out what worked best for me (highhhh protein breakfast with healthy fats, light lifting workout, coffee, lots of water, take the test at 11am), and I repeated that about every other day or more to make sure test day just felt like any other day taking the test. Then, I took the test at home exactly as practiced!

Hey Ria!
Congratulations on your score and All the Best for your applications.
I’m struggling a bit with Critical Reasoning. Could you share How do you typically classify or analyse CR errors? Also, when solving a question, do you try to predict the answer before looking at the choices, or do you approach it differently?
Lastly, how much time did you invest in your preparation?
I’d love to understand the process you follow while solving CR questions.
Thanks!
