Take a GMAT diagnostic test
Take a GMAT diagnostic test It is a “realistic” test to find out your scores on the different sections of the test The test will not only include the results of your grades, but will also reveal information about which types of questions you answered well and which ones incorrectly This information will help you design your study plan.

Don’t stop practicing
The GMAT is an exam that requires intensive training The person must constantly face all kinds of questions The questions, which may seem very difficult at first, gradually become easier Practicing constantly will help you acquire more security, therefore you will have less stress and you will be much more effective in fighting time.
Keep in mind that this exam is about both knowledge and strategy and you have to develop a time management strategy in order to come out with a good score In the end, not answering questions or leaving them blank gives you a penalty that can cost you your final grade So the more you prepare, not only will you be able to respond well, but you will also do it faster.
Spend time
We recommend that you prepare at least 6 months before the exam Establish fixed study schedules to reinforce what you have learned during your preparation classes Also, take your time to clarify all your doubts and reinforce those weak points.
Develop your study plan
“How should I study?” Do not start studying without knowing what your starting point and final goal are The first thing to do is take a diagnostic test and decide what kind of preparation you need With our material for the GMAT exam and the virtual platform to which you will have access, you will be very well prepared to face this tough test But remember that the effort you put in outside of class will also greatly influence the result.
If the idea you have is to prepare intensively for 6 months, divide your study time into two parts.
During the first four months, focus on mastering the strategic approaches for each question type on the GMAT, as well as the knowledge of the grammar and math content you need to answer all the questions correctly For the last two months, focus on answering questions quickly, doing timed workouts, and testing yourself with tough questions.
Applying what you have learned in the classroom immediately will help you strengthen your knowledge and thus avoid blockages during the exam.
Through our classes, you will know what specific content and questions you need to improve according to your level of knowledge.
“What should I study?” That depends on the results of the initial diagnostic test Try to focus on the material that you find difficult for you and that you find in the tests of previous years.
In the quantitative math section, for example, many arithmetic, algebra, geometry questions require you to use proportions If you are not comfortable studying ratios and percentages, you will have trouble in this section.
During the last week before the test, strengthen your strengths even more.
Manage your study schedule
Avoid putting off your study days You probably have a lot of work to do, so it can be difficult to find the time and energy to study for the GMAT However, keep in mind the phrase “time flies”; Before you know it, your GMAT test could be tomorrow Don’t let the day of the test take you by surprise.
Lose your fear
Remember that you can take the exam up to five times a year, the first time generally the best results are not obtained, so giving computerized simulations equal to the exam will make your first official exam feel as if it were the second or third time you gave it., overcoming fear and nerves and thus nullifying its effect during the exam You just have to be confident in yourself, feel calm, and try hard enough to get good results.
