Step to GMAT
Success
1. Set a Dated Goal for when you'd like to write the GMAT.

- This serves as a visual indicator for your preparation
- You may want to count down the days to help you time manage your studying
-
Get familiar with the format
2. Create a Study Schedule
- Integrate practice exercises that help you master all three sections.
- Utilize the GMAT Question Bank as it is a great resource to practice all forms of questions other than the essay
- Write Sample Essays with exercises
- Brush up on the Analysis of an Issue and Analysis of an Argument then write practice essays to prepare yourself
3. Create the Study Zone
- Set up a place or zone that will be your GMAT haven
- Set a time each day or each week that you will sit down and prepare
- Keep track of break times, make sure to take them, you need this time to let the information sink in

5. Practice Makes Perfect
- Whether you're actively participating in the GMAT Question Bank or doing Tests keep an eye on your time (the timer feature works wonders for this!!)
- Pacing and budgeting your time for each question is crucial
- 2 minutes per question should be sufficient
- Write a Practice Essay
- Get a friend to read over your essay, do it in the required amount of time (30 minutes). Do you have spelling mistakes? Does your argument flow?
5. Relax, sleep and absorb
- Never overexert your brain
- Taking breaks and sleeping the full amount lets your body absorb what you've practiced and learned
- Don't cram your studying, the longer you pace yourself, the more you'll retain
- Don't skip your breaks, use them to let you unwind
