Study For the GMAT Now (re: EARLY) So That You Can Apply For Round 1 This Year
In this series of posts, we’ll be discussing how to properly plan out your GMAT studies, right now, so that you’ll be in position to earn that high Score later on this year – all while minimizing the natural anxiety that can occur when preparing for such an important Exam.
The process of applying to (and ultimately attending) Business School will require a big investment of time, money and energy on your part. Your GMAT Score is obviously one of the essential components of your application, but each year, many Applicants underestimate the amount of time and effort that is needed just to study for the Exam. As a result, those GMATers end up not giving themselves enough study time – and they can’t quite reach their Score Goals. With application deadlines quickly approaching, studying in a compressed timeframe (while working on other parts of the application, continuing their careers, family commitments, etc.) does NOT make the process any easier. Ultimately, many Applicants have to push back their application plans – sometimes to a later Round - and sometimes back a full year!
Your GMAT Score is INCREDIBLY important!
Beyond helping you get into Business School, a high GMAT Score can help you earn Scholarship money and can potentially play a role in future job interviews (certain Companies even ask job applicants about their Test Scores!). Thus, giving yourself enough time to properly train for the Exam – and earn a high Score – can lead to a variety of future rewards. Studying for the GMAT now (early in the year, months and months before you actually “need” your Score), is one of the smartest decisions that you can make. With so much lead time, you have the room to make mistakes - and correct them – but you will want to make sure that you’re studying in an efficient fashion and in ways that will help you to steadily improve.
Making smart choices NOW (in the early part of the year) to earn that high Score
Whether you’re just beginning your studies or you’re looking to improve on an existing performance, there are logical ‘steps’ that you can take to increase your chances of earning that high Score when you test (or retest).
If you're just beginning your studies, then you really must take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test. Some people find the idea of taking that initial practice Exam/mock to be upsetting, but doing so is essential. We need to define your current skills, strengths and weaknesses – and get an idea of how you make decisions when facing a countdown clock. Many Test Takers are unhappy with their initial practice scores, but you really shouldn't be. However you score, you’ll improve on that result over time as you learn more about the content, Tactics and little 'secrets' of the GMAT.
You can take a practice CAT for free at https://www.mba.com (you can actually download 2 for free and those tests come with some additional practice materials). If you want to do a little studying first, so that you can familiarize yourself with the basic content and question types, then that's okay - but you shouldn't wait too long to take that initial CAT.
A word of warning: A FULL CAT takes about 3.5 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have that initial result, you can post the results and ask for advice in the Forums here (and you can also feel free to send me a Private Message or an email (at [email protected]) and we can discuss the results and put together a Study Plan.
For those who have already taken the Official GMAT and are looking to improve, then you might consider purchasing the Enhanced Score Report (and you can even do so for a Cancelled result!). While the ESR doesn’t provide a lot of information, there are usually a few data points that we can use to define what went wrong on Test Day (and what you should work on to score higher). If you purchase the ESR, then I'll be happy to analyze it for you for free.
Next time, we’ll discuss the tactics behind putting together an effective study routine (and that’s not just about what you study, but HOW you study).
