Hi dogfrog,

From your questions, it sounds like you're 'early on' in your studies:

1) How long have you been studying for the GMAT?
2) What materials have you been using?

3) What is your goal score?
4) When are you planning to take the GMAT?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich

Hi,

coming from Europe, I have to take my GMAT in Singapore. Has the test location any impact on the scoring or is that
globally standardized?

A second question:

When time runs out, is it advisable to just click through the questions randomly?
Btw how important is it to work on as many questions as possible?

Thanks for your tips =)


Hi mate,

I have taken the test twice in a different country from my country of origin, country where I have taken the first time the GMAT. There is absolutely no difference. You just have to take with you - your passport.


When time runs out, is it advisable to just click through the questions randomly?

If you do not answer the questions, you are penalized. Yet, if you answer randomly, at least there are some odds that you might even answer correctly! :) Think positive!

The GMAT is a globally standardized test and there should be no bearing of the place where you give the test.
The final percentile is calculated on the basis of the results of the people all over the globe and not just the country you are testing in.

2) When time runs out, is it advisable to just click through the questions randomly?
There is no sin bigger than this. Always make sure that you mark all the questions.
There is a huge penalty for the un-attempted questions.
