More Tips!

  • Answer as much questions as you can. Some people might tell you that in the GMAT, the first questions are most important so you should spend the most time on them. However, since missing questions will deduct a lot of marks off of your total, it’s more important to finish the test than answer everything correctly.
  • When in doubt, eliminate as many answers as possible, and just guess. It’s better to guess than spend a lot of time on a question and still get it wrong! Don’t be ashamed, everyone guesses sometimes.
  • If you don’t know the answer to a quesiton, remember that some GMAT questions don’t actually count towards your final score, Don’t panic, getting a question wrong might not matter at all.
  • Get lots of sleep the night before you write your test. Oh man, you have no idea how important this is. Sleeping well can change your score by a lot more than you would guess, so it’s better to sleep than cram and continute practicing till 3 A.M. the night before the test.

Best of Luck to all GMAT aspirants!
