Week 1-2: Intensive Practice Sessions
Incorporate daily practice sessions focused on timed drills and exercises to improve speed and accuracy.
- Utilize adaptive learning platforms and question banks to target your weak areas. Incorporate practice problems and quizzes into your study routine to apply concepts in a real-world context.
- Keep track of your progress and performance to monitor improvements over time. Evaluate your performance objectively, discerning strengths, weaknesses, areas needing enhancement, and patterns of advancement or plateau. Compare your current performance with baseline assessments conducted earlier in your preparation. Monitor shifts over time to assess advancements or regressions in performance. Identify trends and patterns in your data to pinpoint areas of progression and those necessitating renewed focus. Take note of particular question types or concepts where you consistently encounter difficulty, as these may warrant extra attention and review.
Dedicate each day to practicing a different section of both exams. Let’s say you can practice Verbal & Quant on Mondays and then Verbal & DI on Tuesdays. Similarly, you can plan for other days of the week.
- Implement timed practice sessions to replicate real exam conditions and enhance your pacing. Begin by tackling 10 questions within 20 minutes for each section, totalling 30 questions in 60 minutes. Then, take a brief break before repeating the process. Engage in this practice routine for a week to refine both accuracy and time management skills. Following this initial phase, adjust to solving 23 Verbal questions in 45 minutes, 21 Quant questions in 45 minutes, and 20 Data Insights questions in 45 minutes. Initially, take breaks between sections for a week, then transition to a GMAT-like or GRE-like experience where you align sections as you would during the actual exam (including breaks between sections).
- Engage in full-length practice tests at least once per week to evaluate your overall readiness and enhance your test-taking endurance. These tests closely mirror the conditions of the actual GMAT or GRE exam, encompassing timing, structure, and question formats. They provide an authentic assessment of your preparedness and performance within test-like parameters. Such tests enable you to measure your overall readiness for the GMAT or GRE, pinpoint strengths and weaknesses across various sections, and highlight areas necessitating further review or practice. Arrange your practice tests to mirror the conditions of the actual exam, scheduling them for times such as mornings or during your scheduled exam time. Complete each full-length practice test in one sitting to bolster your test endurance and replicate the mental and physical demands of the exam. During the practice test, avoid pausing or interrupting the session, and refrain from checking answers until the end of each section. Utilize official GMAT practice tests offered by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) or GRE practice tests offered by the ETS for the most accurate representation of the exam. These tests mimic the exam interface, question types, and scoring algorithm precisely. After completing the practice test, meticulously review your results and assess your performance across all sections. Analyze your scores, timing, and accuracy to identify both strengths and weaknesses. Pay close attention to any recurring difficulties with specific question types or time management issues in particular sections. Utilize the insights gained from your practice test analysis to pinpoint areas for improvement and prioritize your study efforts accordingly. Concentrate on addressing weaknesses and inconsistencies in your performance to optimize your preparation for the GMAT or GRE exam.
