They are usually wrong.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Such a misconception about the GMAT can cost you a lot of time, effort, money, and peace of mind while preparing for the exam. In order to get to your destination, you need to know exactly where you are right now. And, in the context of test readiness, finding the right answer to this question can be a nightmare. Instead of operating on conjecture, you need precise metrics that depict your current levels of knowledge and skill at a granular level. We cannot overstate how crucial this step is in chalking out a study plan and in identifying and allocating resources for skill enhancement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how do we identify our strengths and weaknesses? Simple, <a href=\"https:\/\/resources.e-gmat.com\/take-sigma-x-mock\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\">write a Diagnostic Test<\/a> that gives you all the relevant data you need to plan your GMAT preparation. Writing a test at the start of your prep might seem counterintuitive, but the only way to evaluate how well you can swim is to jump into the pool! And if you\u2019re smirking in retort, \u2018what if I don\u2019t know how to swim?\u2019 Well, you do! You\u2019ve been developing your Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Ability since childhood. So, don\u2019t be afraid. Go for it!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"ub-styled-box ub-notification-box\" id=\"ub-styled-box-df1b516f-995e-47b1-bca1-f5012f98a504\">\n\n\n<h2 id=\"3-tip-1-know-where-you-stand-we-can-help\">Tip #1: Know Where You Stand.

Build Core Skills &#8211; Don\u2019t blindly practice questions | Tip for GMAT Score Improvement #2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many aspirants are under the delusion that just solving more and more questions is sufficient to develop the skills to crack the GMAT. Although a few people succeed using this strategy &#8211; the geniuses, such a practice can ruin a person\u2019s chances at cracking the GMAT<strong>. Solving GMAT questions blindly, without proper analysis, knowledge of concepts, and the right approach, will at best lead to microscopic gains<\/strong> and wouldn\u2019t fully prepare the individual for the GMAT even if that person solved all the available questions out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/resources.e-gmat.com\/take-sigma-x-mock\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"750\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Dont-blindly-practice-GMAT-questions.png\" alt=\"#2 Tip - Improve GMAT Score\" class=\"wp-image-37217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Dont-blindly-practice-GMAT-questions.png 750w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Dont-blindly-practice-GMAT-questions-300x160.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, official GMAT questions are priceless. The quality of these questions stands as testimony to their value. And once attempted blindly, the question is ruined. So, why waste this limited and invaluable resource? There are only so many medium and hard questions out there. Instead, first, focus on strengthening your concepts and learning the right methodology in the first stage of your preparation. You only need a handful of questions for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>If you are planning to take the GMAT, we can help you with a personalized study plan and give you access to quality online content to prepare.&nbsp;Write to us at&nbsp;acethegmat@e-gmat.com.

Master one sub-section at a time | <meta charset=\"utf-8\">Tip to <meta charset=\"utf-8\">Improve your GMAT Score #4<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Multitasking is a myth! David Sanbonmatsu, a professor of psychology at the University of Utah, says,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p><strong><em>\u201cWhen people multitask, often they do multiple things badly,\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And New York Times columnist David Brooks agrees,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong><em>\u201cA person who is interrupted while performing a task takes 50% more time to complete it and makes 50% more errors.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>We, at e-GMAT, also believe so. This is why we recommend that you focus on one sub-section at a time while preparing for the exam. For instance, if you\u2019re focusing on Algebra, don\u2019t try to also do Geometry on the side. Finish studying Algebra completely and cement your skills before switching to the next sub-section. Going back and forth between two or more sub-sections at a time will only add to delay and inefficient prep in each of those sub-sections. You will unnecessarily tax your mind with more information than it can or needs to handle at a time, and you\u2019ll only create more opportunities for confusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"750\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/8-Tips-to-Improve-Your-GMAT-Score-Image-5-v2.png\" alt=\"#4 tip- Improve GMAT Score\" class=\"wp-image-37552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/8-Tips-to-Improve-Your-GMAT-Score-Image-5-v2.png 750w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/8-Tips-to-Improve-Your-GMAT-Score-Image-5-v2-300x160.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, we\u2019re dealing with not just the acquisition of skills but also excellence at those skills.

This requires excellence, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7qAVNipFXW8\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\">excellence requires focus<\/a>. Think back to your childhood, when you tried to learn how to ride a bicycle or how to swim or how to play a musical instrument. Anytime you took up two or more things at once, you probably didn\u2019t end up mastering any. And this is no secret. You spread yourself out too thin. That\u2019s what happened. So, make sure you avoid that during your GMAT prep. We\u2019re not saying multitasking is impossible. We\u2019re saying it\u2019s inefficient and will likely lead to failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"7-5-full-length-mocks-are-to-measure-test-readiness-sectional-tests-are-for-improvement-tip-for-gmat-score-improvement-5\">5. Full-Length Mocks are to measure Test Readiness; Sectional Tests are for Improvement | Tip for GMAT Score Improvement #5<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The 6 Official GMAT Mocks, provided by mba.com, are without a doubt a valuable resource for every GMAT aspirant. They are the closest thing to the actual exam and offer aspirants the opportunity to experience the adaptive exam first-hand before locking horns with the actual exam. It is no wonder that students end up writing these mocks indiscriminately and haphazardly, in the hope of getting ready for the exam. But more often than not, these students end up running out of official mocks and then finding themselves spending twice as much on unofficial exams that pale in comparison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re someone at the start of your preparation, you should not be writing mocks in the first place. As discussed <a href=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/how-to-prepare-gmat-verbal\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">earlier<\/a>, you only need to write an initial Diagnostic Mock to assess your starting abilities. But, even if you\u2019re someone who has finished cementing both sections, you should still not be writing mocks indiscriminately, and here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We write practice tests for two reasons: <em>to improve our testing abilities<\/em> and <em>to assess \u2018Test Readiness\u2019<\/em>. It is practically impossible to accomplish both with just 6 Official Mocks.

You need to learn how to switch from one type of question to another or one difficulty to another, and you need to do it under time constraints. You need to work on<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>a. optimizing your time management,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>b. refining your testing strategies, and<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>c. conquering your nerves<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>in order to maximize your score in each section independently. And accomplishing these takes just about anyone way more than 6 practice tests. The \u201caverage\u201d number of tests required for this is around 30 tests per section!

What if they\u2019re unable to improve their reading or problem-solving speed enough to complete the section(s) in time? What if they hit a plateau? What then? What is it that they\u2019re not doing or not doing right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"750\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/8-Tips-to-Improve-Your-GMAT-Score-Image-7-v2.png\" alt=\"#6 Improve GMAT Score\" class=\"wp-image-37554\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/8-Tips-to-Improve-Your-GMAT-Score-Image-7-v2.png 750w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/8-Tips-to-Improve-Your-GMAT-Score-Image-7-v2-300x160.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The solution to this conundrum is philosophical and not technical: you need to have guts! The quintessential quality of a good manager is to have the guts to put everything on the line and improvise, to make the most of your limited resources and still find a way to innovate and get the job done! GMAT prep is no different. You\u2019re never going to get better at a skill unless you have the courage to expose yourself to tougher questions, knowing very well that there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019re going to get it wrong. You\u2019re not going to get faster at solving a problem unless you have the courage to willingly subject yourself to a time crunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p><em><strong>\u201cMuscles weren\u2019t designed to be bored. They hate monotony.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Arnold\u2019s famous <em>Shock Principle<\/em> applies to all muscles. The brain is not technically a muscle; however, you need to exercise it like any other muscle. And therefore, the shock principle works in skill enhancement as well. You need to get out of your comfort zone<strong>. For instance, if you expect to solve 31 hard quantitative ability questions in 62 minutes, try solving 65, or 70, or 75<\/strong>. You\u2019re never going to know how fast you can be unless you push yourself. Shock yourself! This is something all successful people do. And don\u2019t be afraid; you\u2019ll be surprised at what you\u2019re capable of. Most of the things we cannot do exist because we haven\u2019t tried them and not because we\u2019re incapable of them. There are candidates, for instance, who finished the entire verbal section with 20 minutes to spare and still scored in the 90<sup>th<\/sup> percentile and above! So, what\u2019s stopping you? Don\u2019t give up at the first sight of failure. Push yourself. Success lies beyond that push!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"11-7-street-smarts-gmat-score-improvement-tip-7\">7. Street Smarts | GMAT Score Improvement Tip #7<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a popular saying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><em><strong>\u201cYou don\u2019t boil the ocean for a handful of salt!\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, cracking the GMAT requires a clever mix of not just <em>hard <\/em>work but also <em>smart <\/em>work. You do not need to become a grammarian to crack sentence correction questions or a mathematician to crack quantitative questions. You don\u2019t need to be a bibliophile to ace reading comprehension or be Aristotle reborn in order crack critical reasoning questions. Be smart! Sure, there\u2019s no harm in having such aspirations. But you need to put in a lot less effort to crack the GMAT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"12-71-identify-what%E2%80%99s-tested-and-what%E2%80%99s-not-\">7.1 Identify what\u2019s tested and what\u2019s not<strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the words of Rajat Sadana, Co-Founder and CMO of e-GMAT,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p><em><strong>\u201cThe GMAT is just another project. It\u2019s like any other project you undertake at work or in college. You need to commit to it, plan and execute, and be diligent while you\u2019re at it.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A clever Project Manager is not one who knows everything in the world. It\u2019s one who gets the job done within the stipulated time. This involves a clear understanding of the objective at hand. Only when you know precisely what you want to achieve can you design the most efficient path to achieving it. And those who don\u2019t, end up walking in circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"13-72-be-resourceful-gmat-score-improvement\">7.2 Be Resourceful | GMAT Score Improvement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to know what resources to trust. For this, you need to know how to assess resources. The GMAT World, like any other, is full of charlatans, touts, and tyros. And countless fall prey to their gimmicks. They mask the truth and make a fair, objective assessment even more difficult. This puts the onus of being \u201cinformed\u201d directly on the shoulders of aspirants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Resources such as the Official Guides to the GMAT, MBA.com, the GMAT Club, and LinkedIn are avenues where students can get the right information. Reach out to your predecessors. Read genuine reviews, debriefs, and success stories. Learn to differentiate between a personal account and a sales pitch and to analyze numbers and data. Any or all of the above can help you get the right kind of help you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, consider the story of <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/uIfE82Smglw?si=2y4OTNT1QJsVSjZA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener external\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Piyush<\/a>, who improved his GMAT score by a whopping 330 points by using all the right resources from e-GMAT.<\/p>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<h6>If you too are wondering how to improve your GMAT score from 500 to 700, <a href=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/gmat-740-v40-q50-a-200-point-score-improvement-pritams-success-story\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">read this inspiring story of Pritam<\/a>!<\/h6>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"750\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/8-Tips-to-Improve-Your-GMAT-Score-Image-8.png\" alt=\"#7 Tip to Improve GMAT Score\" class=\"wp-image-37555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/8-Tips-to-Improve-Your-GMAT-Score-Image-8.png 750w, https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/8-Tips-to-Improve-Your-GMAT-Score-Image-8-300x160.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"14-73-become-a-teacher-\">7.3 Become a Teacher<strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Why is it that many aspirants prepare for their exam by becoming teachers? Well, it\u2019s because they\u2019re smart workers. They join Test Prep Companies as Tutors and prepare for their exam on the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Relax, we\u2019re not proposing a career switch!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rationale behind this is rooted in Educational Philosophy. According to <em>The Learning Centre<\/em> at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a smart way to prepare is to <em>try to explain the material in your own words, as if you are a teacher. You can do this in a study group, with a study partner, or on your own. Saying the material aloud will point out where you are confused and need more information and will help you retain the information. At first you may need to rely on your notes to explain the material, but eventually you\u2019ll be able to teach it without your notes. <\/em>When you learn to teach, you go the extra mile to make those logical connections between concepts and learn how to apply interconnected concepts. The saying \u201c<em>Those who can\u2019t do, teach.\u201d <\/em>does not apply to an <em>Aptitude<\/em> Trainer. You have to have it, to teach it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"15-8-be-consistent-and-improve-gmat-score-tip-8\">8. Be Consistent and Improve GMAT Score &#8211; Tip #8<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Last, but by no means the least, you need to be consistent with your prep. To achieve anything in life, we need to be diligent in our efforts. Half-hearted and half-baked attempts seldom lead to success. In fact, they only amount to wastage of resources, such as time, money, and energy, and only add to frustration. We cannot overstate the importance of discipline and routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the words of Anthony (Tony) Robbins, <em>\u201cIt\u2019s not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives. It\u2019s what we do consistently.\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The GMAT is an Aptitude Test. It is not a test of theory or concepts. This exam is not cracked through rote learning. It involves skill enhancement, something that can only happen through regularity and discipline. Studying 30 minutes a day, 6 days a week is far better than studying 3 hours on one day and then not studying for the next 6 days. It is true that <em>it is in the gaps between learning activities that our skills mature<\/em>. But if that gap is too long, we forget what little we learned in the previous learning activity and we stay where we are. There is no progress!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So be a diligent student!<\/p>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<h6>Consistency and diligence are the key, even for those of you wondering: How to improve your GMAT score in 2 weeks?<a href=\"https:\/\/e-gmat.com\/blogs\/gmat-760-in-20-days-dedicated-effort\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Read this inspiring story of Ashray<\/a>, who followed the e-GMAT strategies diligently to improve his GMAT score in the last 15 days!
