Hello peeps. I'm new to GMAT club. I made an account here sometime back but I was just exploring GMAT and wasn't serious about taking the exam back then. Now that I am, I have heard from people that GMAT club is very useful and they regret that they found it quite late. I'm just beginning to start my GMAT prep and I want to utilise all the resources to the maximum.
Please guys help me how to go about using this website. What posts are useful and is there any archive or something where I can find some must know tips/material.
Thanks in advance!

10. Last but not the least, participate on the forums, it will help you immensely in your preparation.
a) Post your queries - Do a quick search for your query on the forum, most probably someone must have already asked it & an expert would have already replied to it. If not then make a post & an expert or a helpful member will soon reply.
b) Answer someone else's queries - If you think you can make a valuable contribution & help some one out, go ahead & reply. A good deed done always comes around.
c) Spare some time from your preparation to elaborately answer questions ont the forum. I stress on elaborately, because it will help you to ingrain the concepts that you have learned, even more deeper.
d) Read expert reply's very carefully, make separate notes of all the awesome information shared by them, it is priceless. Specifically by
Bunuel mikemcgarry chetan2u @veritasprepkarishma
daagh GMATNinja egmat sayantanc2k e) Spare some time every week, to go through the "Share GMAT Experience" forum & congratulate people. Reading debriefs will help you in understanding the pitfalls in GMAT prep & on Test day. It's great to learn from other's experiences.
I hope this will help you & set you on the right path.
All the Best!!
Cheers!
