PLAN YOUR GMAT PREPARATION

Plan Your GMAT Preparation

The timing of GMAT-preparation depends on the admission-deadlines of desired Business Schools. Ideally the preparation of admission docket (zeroing on Business Schools, applying to Business Schools, preparing Essays, Letters of Recommendation, official college transcripts, Resume, etc) should be done after receiving the GMAT scores as the choice of Business Schools is dependent on GMAT scores. The preparation of admission docket practically takes two months’ time.

GMAT preparation requires a window of 4 to 5 months of concerted preparation. An initial 2 to 3 months of preparation is required to master individual concepts tested on the exam and applying the concepts on real GMAT questions. During this initial 2-to-3-month period, students may also require time to master the strategies needed to ace the individual subjects, say the CRA strategy in Critical Reasoning, VCS in Sentence Correction, or the AD/BCE strategy in Data Sufficiency. After students have learnt all concepts and learnt how to apply the concepts to crack questions, still students have to identify which silly mistakes do they make while attempting various types of questions and how to avoid these silly mistakes.

The last part of preparation takes 1 to 2 months, during which students attempt a series of Simulated Exams / Mock Exams and learn Test Taking Strategies to fine tune their preparation. This period revolves around developing Stamina, Concentration, Pacing, and identifying ways to maximize their scores.
