Tips and Tricks
The following is a list of some miscellaneous tips and tricks we've accumulated
in teaching over the years of preparing people for the GMAT. Some will work
better than others and not all of them will work for everybody. However, we
think you'll find many of them to be very valuable as you prepare for your
test.
We would definitely recommend reading our Game Plan if you're new to the site.
Also, remember that many of the best secrets for preparing for the GMAT can
be found in the books on our Recommended List. Don't think of the tips on this
page as a replacement for these books, but rather a way to supplement your
learning.
We would also like to stress one thing. When you're preparing for the test,
if you come across a helpful tip which isn't listed on this page, please e-mail
us at desk@gmattutor.com. Also, feel free to let us know how effective the
tips we do have listed are. Your contribution to the site is welcomed! Thanks
for visiting GMATTutor.com. We hope this page helps you tremendously in your
studies.
You'll also want to be sure to check out some other special features of our
site:
- Be a GMAT Instructor - Okay, we're not talking about applying
to work as an actual instructor for a test prep company. However, many people
miss out on one of the most fundamental truths of knowledge when they study
for their GMAT: The best way to learn something is to
teach it! Swallow your
pride and find a spouse, significant other, brother, cousin, mother, cat,
etc. and TEACH them some GMAT.
You might want to start small. Explain to them how the Computer Adaptive format
works or even what's going to be included on the test. Then pick an area in
which you feel most comfortable and teach them how to do it. If that progresses
well, try tackling an area that's particularly difficult for you. It will
be tough, but you'll be absolutely amazed at how much you improve.
One important note: Don't just teach them in an impromptu fashion. Prepare
for the sessions as you would if you were going to teach a class full of people.
The preparing will help you quite a bit in itself and it will make the teaching
bearable (if not downright enjoyable!). Also, find a time and place that's
quiet and where you won't be disturbed. Many libraries have conference rooms
you can reserve that fit the bill perfectly. They might even have a chalkboard
or a whiteboard so you can feel like an actual instructor!
