Hi
dhilavikashThe key to scoring well on GMAT is to focusing on the right aspects. First let us understand the right way to prepare for GMAT.
How to prepare for GMAT in the right way?
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.
So, the right way to prepare would be to first
- learn the concepts of a topic,
- learn the right methodology to solve questions of that topic
- practice a few questions of that topic to solidify your learning and then move to the nest topic
- 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. There are a couple of articles which you might find helpful.
And you can go through the recording below to understand how to strategize your GMAT prep in an effective way.
What might have gone wrong?
As we have understood the right way to prepare, now let's analyze what could have gone wrong. You must have learnt the concepts of the topics and you must have practiced questions as well.
But did you focus on the methodology part? Did you focus on working your weak areas? These two could be the major reasons for you not scoring well on GMAT. So, now, make sure you do your prep in the right way by focusing on all the above parameters. And regarding the resource, choose a standard resource which can help you with not only the concepts, but the methodology as well. And the questions to practice and their detailed solutions are equally important as the solutions help you understand where exactly you are making the mistake. And a study plan would be an added advantage as you will have clear deadlines.
