GMAT

There are tons of resources available on the internet about GMAT. I wont get much into how to best prepare for the test but yes, know yourself well. Take a trial test to see where you stand, identify your strengths and weaknesses and take it from there.

In my view GMAT is not about how good you are at Maths or English but its more about how smart a test taker you are. The test works on certain patterns and if you spend enough time, you will be able to identify these patterns and have your own way of tackling them. I prepared for 2 weeks, took 2 trial tests on the official software and that was it. Of course, my score was not 7XX but more like 6XX. But it was a balanced score.

Some tips:

- Practice sitting for 4 hours at a stretch. It is very important.
- Dont spend too much time on difficult questions. I did this mistake and had to run through the last 15 in Quants.
- Try and relax in between tests. Take the pressure off, have some water and try to ease it off.
- Practice Practice Practice !
