The 700 Pledge of a GMAT Test Taker
I have been asked many times by members who scored 600 after 3-4 attempts (often after years of preparation), two main questions: what should I do and why can’t I improve my score?
So here is my answer to all of those questions, PM’s and posts – if you are finding yourself not able to improve, stuck, or lost, join me in taking this 700-pledge. I have to warn you, however, it involves a lot of hard work, it does not have shortcuts, and the consequences of breaking it are: depression, inferiority, and anger. Proceed only if you think you can handle it, you can commit to it, and only if your MBA dream is something you are very serious about.
I pledge to:
- To learn. I am not going to just read books or finish tests. I will ensure that I learn from all of my practice and materials as much as I can
- Treat GMAT seriously and with respect. Gain knowledge and skills from my GMAT prep experience. Use GMAT to obtain valuable skills I can use for the rest of my life - logical thinking, critical reading, fast math skills, etc. I will treat GMAT as a map to a treasure and with each day, I will gain additional pieces to the map.
- Align my priorities with goals and if I may have to make hard decision such as shift my study schedule to be before I go to work or before I go to work out, I will do it
- Keep track of my mistakes. I will maintain an error log for the questions I got wrong
- Use a timer with every question and exercise
- Commit to building a study schedule
- I will use the search function on GMAT Club before asking basic questions
- Ask myself every day if there is anything else that I can do to study/improve/answer/not make mistakes? Is there ANYTHING that can help me? Is it memorizing all formulas? Is it memorizing the question? Is it stopping before every question and pausing for 5-10 seconds? is it studying at 5 AM? If any of these is yes, no matter how challenging or how painful, I commit to them because I want to achieve my dream
- Set my preparation at the highest priority (right with my health and family)
- Follow all GMAT leads/concerns/fears I have until they are addressed
- If I have to, I will create/write my own notes. I will take any notes in a separate notebook so that I can remember better.
- Do what it takes. If I need to remember the whole book, I will write out the whole freaking book into notes and organize it so that I can memorize it and if it does not work the first time, I am ready to do it again.
- I will be obsessed with the GMAT, with critical reasoning, with identifying assumptions, with calculating speeds, etc. everywhere - at work, home, etc
- Not skip sections/chapters in my prep and if I skipped any in my past in Quant or Verbal, I commit to revisiting them
- Not leave a chapter/area/book/test until I can score above 90% of the questions within the time frame.
- Stand proud because I have and will do everything in my power to achieve my goal. Should I fall short of that score, I will still stand proud of my score because I have done everything in my power and I have not a single doubt in my mind that not a stone was left unturned and I have done my absolute best. I will have no regrets but will be stronger and better than ever before.
If you agree to follow this pledge, please SIGN it publicly so that there is no going back
- You can post a reply with your username.If you want to make this really stick so there is no going back - post this page on your Social Media account
Thank you and Good Luck!
