The significance of GMAT model test mainly includes the following points:
1. Novices can learn about it through the model test (don't trust the results of the model test too much).
At the beginning of GMAT preparation, you may not have a full understanding of GMAT itself, and you are not familiar with various issues. Some students haven't even made a review plan. At this time, everyone can find out the gap between their own level and GMAT through the model test, recognize their own level, and make a perfect review plan on this basis. However, because of the choice of software and materials, there will be various differences between the results of the model test and the actual combat results, so the model test can only be used to roughly understand one's own level, not too much as a reference.
2. Review the remaining gaps in the mid-term model test.
After a certain basic study, everyone has a certain understanding of GMAT, and knows the scope of test sites and various types of questions. At this time, another model test can help candidates find out which aspects of themselves and which problems have serious problems. Candidates can adjust the review focus according to the performance of the model test, make up for the shortcomings, and carry out targeted intensive training.
3. The final sprint depends on the model test to practice the rhythm of answering questions
In the final stage of the exam, candidates have made full preparations for all aspects of the exam. What everyone lacks most at this stage is actually actual combat experience, which mainly refers to the problem of examination time allocation and answering rhythm. In order to avoid the situation that the exam questions can be done but there is not enough time, we need to adapt to the rhythm of the exam in advance through the model exam and practice the rhythm of answering questions to ensure that all the questions can be answered smoothly within the specified time.
4. The score of the model test is actually not important.
Finally, Bian Xiao hopes that everyone can make it clear that the results of the model test are actually not of high reference value. The result of the model test depends largely on the candidates' play and the quality of the materials themselves. Everyone will inevitably play ups and downs, but if the model test software and the topics it provides are far from actual combat, and the difficulty is obviously high or low, then the results will naturally not be used as a reference for grading. In fact, apart from the two sets of model test exercises PREP provided by GMAT for free, the model test software of other institutions can't play a very good role in scoring. Therefore, if the candidate's goal orientation is to evaluate the score and use the score instead of the official model test exercise, then the final score is often difficult to play the role of evaluating the score. Many people attach too much importance to the results of the model test, or to the evaluation effect of the model test. In fact, due to various reasons, candidates' model test scores are often not accurate. Therefore, the value of the model test score itself to actual combat is far from what everyone imagined. In different review stages, we should actually pay more attention to other values of the model test, such as the training rhythm in actual combat and the cultivation of adaptability, compared with the final results of the model test.
