Hi Aadilshaikh,
Start by taking a diagnostic test to see where you stand. Before you start preparing for any test, it's important to understand the structure of the test, what is tested on it and then prepare accordingly. In this case, GMAT is a test which focuses on your application skills along with the conceptual knowledge. So, just learning the concepts and practicing questions without focusing on the right methodology will not do any good. So, I suggest you to first focus on the methodology to solve questions of a particular topic and only then move to practicing questions of that topic.
How to prepare for GMAT in the right way?
So, the right way to prepare would be to first
- Deal with one topic at a time
- learn the concepts of a topic
- learn the right methodology to solve questions of that topic
- practice a few questions of that topic making sure that you use the right methodology to solve questions
- Repeat the process for all the topics
And working on weak areas is equally important. You move to the next topic only if you get a decent accuracy in the previous topic. If not, you revisit the concepts, fill the conceptual gaps and then move to the next topic only when you are 100% confident. You can go through the articles below to understand the approach in a better way.
And you can go through the recording below to understand how to strategize your GMAT prep in an effective way.
And I suggest you to choose a standard resource which can help you prepare for GMAT in the right way. As GMAT is a test of application of concepts, make sure to choose an application focused course. A course with an integrated study plan will suit you the best.
Preparing for GMAT is already a tedious task and you wouldn't want to spend the time you have in planning what to study and sorting out things. Having a clear idea of what to study on a day will make life easy for you. So, choose a resource which can provide you with a study plan.
You can go through the article below to understand the right way to choose the online course.
I can help you in a much better way if you can give me a little more background about yourself such as the number of hours you can study, your target score and when are you planning to take the test. I would love to get in touch over a call with you and discuss the same. Please schedule a call with me using the link below.
