Crack GMAT with these 7 steps

All these forums allow you to post your queries, chat with other test takers and GMAT gurus. These can be source of free material also.

6) Dedicate ample time for GMAT preparation depending on your situation. You can get more info on this here.


7) Practice with good study material and see your improvement in score and not the no. of books finished or questions attempted.

AWA strategy

AWA is something that is largely neglected and taken for granted by most GMAT takers. This is because there is no set benchmark on what a good AWA score is and which school takes what or whether a school even puts a value to it. Most websites publish avg. GMAT scores which are for quant and verbal.


Most GMAT takers reserve last few days for AWA preparation. The normal strategy most aspirants take is to read a few samples and then go for the GMAT. But beware, this might lead to you getting an AWA score of less than 4 , which is not considered good by almost all B schools and hence can be one of the major reasons of rejection.
We propose the following strategy:
1) Read a few sample of both Analysis of an argument and analysis of an issue
2) Download free templates of these to get an idea of structure
3) Write a couple of arguments and issue questions to get a hold. Get these evaluated from an expert or an automated tool.
4) Repeat step 3 to see improvement.
5) Take a full length test to see whether you score equally well under pressure conditions.

All About GMAT

The GMAT is a test of endurance. Along with Verbal & quant skills, it tests your ability to switch between subjects, work quickly & stay calm for 3.5 hours. Therefore what you need is not mastering the Verbal & quant skills but practicing under real test conditions.

What beats all test takers is TIME. Tests takers cant manage time, which is the most critical factor . You should strategize to use your time wisely from when the clock starts ticking to the last five minutes, during which almost everyone panics, to not leave any question unanswered. And you will be able to master time management only after practicing multiple tests.

Since the GMAT adapts to one’s performance it is an computer adaptive test. The difficulty level of a question depends on whether you answered the previous question correctly or not. Also, GMAT assigns more weight to first few questions in every section to narrow your potential to a given range. More than that, which only a few test takers know, an unanswered question in GMAT lowers your score more than wrong answer.

GMAT will shoot difficult & difficult questions to you until your performance levels out. All these factors make full length test practice the most important part of GMAT preparation.

Our GMAT simulator has been designed keeping all these in mind to give you the best practice. Please contact us a line if you want more information on how you can prepare for GMAT.

GMAT Strategy & importance

GMAT – the test that stands between us and our dream B school. Obviously there are other factors like application, essays, LOR & interview, but in my opinion GMAT score is the most important as it allows the admission committee of a particular school to judge all applicants on an even scale.

All top Bschools take GMAT scores ( quant, verbal & AWA) very seriously. So, thats why it becomes very important to prepare well to crack the GMAT and get a great score.

Now, anyone can score better in GMAT with good preparation in a structured format. Many of us still struggle for good GMAT preparation material and GMAT mock tests. We suggest the following approach for getting a good score in GMAT.

1) Give a Diagnostic test or a trial exam …just to see where you stand & know GMAT format.

2) Start with Tutorials from verbal & quant books

3) After you are done with the above books go to difficult books like Kaplan 800 . Tougher books dont tell you the basics and start with higher level questions. So dont jump to these directly.

4) Then if you are comfortable, take full length tests periodically to see improvement in scores, to judge your ability to handle entire test together and to discover new improvement areas.
