Sách GMAT Study Strategy

I’ve searched all over the internet and read all the major books on preparing for the GMAT.
The main thing that current GMAT prep books do well is to help identify what you’ll face on the
test. What they don’t do well is to help you to know how to actually study each type of question
and how to apply the strategies effectively. I’ve struggled to try and figure out how take a more
active posture in studying such that information is not only retained, but efficiency improved. I’m
tired of hearing, “just do a lot of problems.” That’s not useful. That was what people were telling
me. One person, who attained a 740 on the GMAT at 46 years of age, the first time she took the
test, stated how important it was to stay active and not be passive while studying. The point of
this whole guide is on how to become an active learner for the GMAT and avoid being passive.

As I was studying, I realized that I had to lay down some very specific strategies for myself to
become more active in my learning process. This was because of a GMAT practice test I took
where I got a 600. I had studied the Quant quite a bit, but not the verbal. For verbal, I went
mostly off of what sounded right to me. I needed . I wanted to come up with a way to approach
the rest of my studying more effectively because there seemed to be too much memorization or
gut reliance going on in my test taking skills. I knew that just going by what sounded right wasn’t
the best way approach the real GMAT.

This guide was created as a result of brutally asking myself specifics on how I could and would
improve in each area of the GMAT. How does one move from, “just do a lot of problems” or
“study hard” to “studying effectively” and most importantly . Getting results? As this is a guide
that is being refined and added to, I hope you’ll join me in letting me know what you feel needs to
be re-worked or further explained by you or me to improve it. This will be of great benefit to you
and me as well as others that might need this in the near future. Over time, I’ve received
permission from several authors and teachers that have provided great strategy guidelines and
have inserted them into this document.
