Hi Guys,

I strongly believe that GMAT works on a set of patterns. Students scoring 600+ have a great chance to improve their scores, if they get to associate with these patterns. By patterns, i mean to say a unique set of qusetions with basic fundas repeating itself.

Members, Can you share your thoughts on these patterns?

There is one secret patten on the gmat, one that the experts hope you dont learn on your own.







Those who study hard, and study smart do well...

Those who spend their time looking for patterns do not.

Dear Member,

You caught me on the wrong foot here. I was just trying to find something very common in GMAT exams. Lets wait for people to shoot out.

All people in the 700+ club have a good grasp of the basics (quants & verbal)... But all people who have a good grasp of the basics are not necessarily in the 700+ club... The "pattern" is to get your basics strong and practice, practice and practice...

Members,

Basics are the right way to do things but studying is an 'art' where we develop pattering skills with time. Since many people have done it ,am just warming up to your wavelength.

Yes, we agree. We call these patterns "frameworks" - certain sentence structure frameworks, idiomatic frameworks, positive/negative frameworks, etc. - each helps you narrow down the scope of the problem and figure out which thought process to go through to arrive at the answer.

These frameworks are what we teach at GMAT Pill.
