Ok, a lot of my friends have requested for my personal debrief on how I scored 720 on the GMAT. So Mohit, Jiten and the others....this one is for you:
- Remove fear of failure, this is just another exam nothing more nothing less.
- Use the correct kind of materials and in the order specified: Princeton Review, Kaplan Review, Official Guide (10th), Manhattan Sentence Correction, Official Guide (11th and 12th), Kaplan 800.
- Join www.pagalguy.com and indulge yourself in daily discussions on the GMAT forum i.e. don't just read but also contribute.
- Get your hands on LSAT notes and practise from there.
- Give lots of practise tests. Keep tracking your performance and learning from mistakes.
- Track your mistakes, maintain ready reference notes on all mistakes, study in a systematic manner, concentrate on concepts, develop accuracy first and then focus on speed.
- Don't go to the exam with a specific target score, go to the exam ready to tackle anything that is thrown at you.
DO NOT:
- Waste your time and money by joining expensive coaching classes. Use that money to invest in all the books and materials you want.
- Rush through things just because you want to get over with it. Work at your pace, learn to walk before you can run.
- Sign up for the test at the last moment, sign up for it well in avance.
- Let the party animal inside you take over. Abstinence from....will do you more good than harm :)
Phew..enough gyaan or you want more. Let's just sit and chalk out the other details, shall we?
