Preparing for the GMAT doesn’t have to be a year-long grind. With the right strategy, you can maximize efficiency and hit your target score faster. Here’s how:
1️⃣ The 80/20 Rule: Focus on High-Impact Areas
Quant: Prioritize number properties, algebra, and word problems – they appear in nearly every exam.
Verbal: Sentence Correction rules (modifiers, parallelism, verb tense) and Critical Reasoning assumption-based questions.
Integrated Reasoning & AWA: Don’t overcommit; most B-schools focus on Quant & Verbal.
2️⃣ The “One Right, One Wrong” Approach
Instead of doing 50+ questions daily, solve 10 tough ones and deeply analyze your mistakes.
Understand WHY the right answer is correct and WHY the wrong ones are incorrect.
3️⃣ Adaptive Mindset: Simulating the Real GMAT
Use an adaptive online test platform (like GMAT Official Prep) rather than standard PDFs.
Time management drills: 2-minute rule per Quant question; 90 seconds for Verbal.
4️⃣ The "Last 30 Days" Plan for Score Boost
Week 1-2: Identify weak areas using error logs.
Week 3: Full-length practice tests every 3-4 days with review.
Final Week: Focus on GMAT Official Guide and review past mistakes – NO new topics.
🔥 Pro Tip: Elite scorers don’t necessarily solve the hardest questions—they master the medium-difficulty ones quickly to save time for the toughest problems!
