We are excited that you have trusted us with your GMAT preparation. Let\u2019s work together to help you achieve your target GMAT score. Here are 12 GMAT preparation tips to get you started.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Getting<\/p>\n

First Step \u2013 Create a milestone-driven study plan!!<\/h2>\n

Because people who prepare using a milestone-driven plan are twice as likely to reach their target GMAT score as people who do not, as your first step, you must create such a plan. Moreover, such a personalized plan can help reduce your study time by 30% (on an average).<\/p>\n

Follow the steps below to create your plan<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Log in to your e-GMAT course.<\/li>\n
  2. Click on the \u2018Getting Started\u2019 tab under \u2018Courses Menu.\u2019<\/li>\n
  3. Click on\u00a0\u2018Personalized Study Plan\u2019<\/strong>\u00a0and then on\u00a0\u2018Create New Plan’<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"GMAT<\/a><\/p>\n

    Once you have created your plan, get started with your preparation. Additionally, to learn about how to effectively execute your study plan and how to track your progress at each step, please go through\u00a0\u2018Your GMAT Roadmap\u2019<\/strong>\u00a0course (available under Verbal & Quant tabs as well).<\/p>\n

    In which order\/sequence should I attempt the course? Do I need to refer to any additional sources for my preparation?<\/h3>\n

    Can I ask doubt about a question which is not from e-GMAT?<\/h3>\n

    Due to copyright laws, we cannot discuss questions that are not e-GMAT material.\u00a0However, we would be happy to provide clarifications to Official questions (GMAT Prep and Official guides only).<\/p>\n

    Are your courses compatible on Mobile devices and tablets?<\/h3>\n

    Our files play fine on Mobile devices and tablets.\u00a0Just make sure that you are using puffin browser. Please see this post<\/a>\u00a0for more information.\u00a0Also, for the effectiveness of your study time, please understand that we do not recommend that you study e-GMAT courses on mobile devices. Tablets are fine.<\/p>\n

    Should I be studying Verbal and Quant in parallel?<\/h3>\n

    Whether you should study Quant and Verbal in parallel depends on how much time are you devoting towards your GMAT preparation. If you are studying for say 1.5-2 hours daily, five to six days in a week, it is not advisable to take up Quant and Verbal in parallel. Start with one of them and finish it, and only then move on to the next one.<\/p>\n

    But say, you can devote 4-5 hours (or even more) daily for your regular study sessions, then you can take up both Quant and Verbal in parallel, dividing the time between them depending upon your study plan.\u00a0Normally we do not recommend students to take up Quant and Verbal in parallel if they are working professionals (since they can\u2019t spare sufficient time towards their GMAT preparation in their regular study sessions).
    \nAlso, it varies from person to person. Some students are able to understand and grasp concepts better if they focus on only one thing at a time.\u00a0Basically, whatever you do, do it well. So, the decision is yours.<\/p>\n
