Sounds obvous but it is true. like the marines say: "Train like you fight, fight like you train." This means to prepare as seriously and intensely as one would in the actual challenge

I try to find as good resources as I can

For study (thus understanding the concepts) I like Magoosh

For practice (thus actually practicing questions) I came across gmatpractice.io. Although not perfect yet they offer many free practice questions and the premium features explain those questions I dont understand (premium is free for now as it is in beta)

Any more tips on preparation? :)

it’s a bit of a lung cancer. Pretty much all the business schools have their first year where the curriculum is pretty rigid and it’s pretty similar. At the same time, there will be many differences and many twists between schools. Most of the second year is electives where you can choose a variety of classes. Is there anything specific you are thinking about or coming from?

Got ya. This helps narrow it down and the void me giving you a ton of reading comprehension recommendations which you do not need 😊

How long does it usually take you to complete the test? Do you have time left over at the end?

PS. At the same time, I don’t have a ton of reading comprehension recommendations 😂

That’s great. Having half the time left over as much better than having half of the questions left at the end. You can use a very common system of setting up gates for questions. Assuming you’re going to take the focus version of the test, you can say that you want to be done with seven questions at 30 minutes remaining, and done with 15 questions at 15 minutes remaining. That’s basically the same as being on question number eight at 30 minutes remaining and being on question number 15 with 15 minutes left. Many ways to structure but it’s the same concept. This allows you to pace yourself and slow yourself slightly down.

another recommendation that I personally used and I can say invented though there’s really not much to invent, I would take a pause at the beginning of every question. I didn’t have extra time but what I noticed was that moving quickly from question to question, I would sometimes carryover information from one question to the next question and that would result in an incorrect solution. So I would pause for three or five seconds and just look at my hands or look up at the ceiling at the test center and I would sort of reset me and then I would start reading the next question

I would also try to check my work. They didn’t have a lot of time to do that but I would usually try to make sure that the answer made sense and sometimes even before starting to solve the question, I would think about what the answer would likely be, meaning would it be positive or negative or high or small and look at the choices to see where the traps could be

Wow. My AutoCorrect has gone wild. It should’ve been a long answer, not a lung cancer 🤦‍♂️🤯

Curriculum of a program will not have much to do with the preferences for female candidates. Usually those two are somewhat independent of each other. I guess one consideration to look at and identify is to see which programs have admitted the highest and lowest number of women and potentially target both of those. The reason target both is because the ones with the small number would likely want to increase it and the ones with the high number will want to maintain it 😇

But someone had suggested to me that most b schools in the US want to see more females in the business. Is it true?

Ah. Got it. I wasn’t sure if You saw a connection between curriculum and type of applicants who are recruited. I haven’t heard about the connection there but I’m sure some kind of a connection exists though perhaps not strong

Once I shortlist my list I will let you know whether there is a connection or not. But right now not so sure about it.

bb, Thanks for your suggestions. I will let you know the details soon.
