The time before GMAT should not be long, 45 days is a suitable cycle, and review for more than 5 hours every day efficiently.
GMAT test is not suitable for protracted war, otherwise it will only consume our own strength and patience. I have always been in favor of the idea of short-term and efficient review of GMAT for preparing for the exam in Xianghai, so I take 45 days as a cycle of "introduction+review+training+review+examination" to break through 750 points in GMAT. Of course, my personal reading is a short board, so I have appropriately increased the review of the reading part, but overall, I guarantee the review intensity of more than 5 hours a day. Because the focus of short-term review is not short time, but the time, energy and data of GMAT preparation are highly concentrated.
2.GMAT test mentality is king, relax and slow down.
The old theory of the importance of mentality has been said to be rotten, and many people think it is equivalent to not saying it. But the reason I still want to say is that the foundation before the exam has been set, the efficiency of preparing for the exam is uncontrollable, and the risk of changing the exam is great ... The only factor that is completely controlled by yourself is the mentality. So, if you can't even adjust your mentality well, what ability do you have to get high marks in GMAT? What qualifications do you have to be a professional manager to go to MBA? I may have said a little too much, but it's true. After preparing for the exam three times, the deepest feeling of the last 700 lines is also the adjustment of mentality. Of course, relaxing is not to belittle the GMAT exam. What we need is to relax our state on the premise of attaching importance to GMAT exam.
3.GMAT math machine is important, and the machine is more provided by candidates above GMAT750.
Although my math foundation has always been good, it is really important for me to get good grades in GMAT math. Unfortunately, I only got 50 points in this math exam, but I didn't get full marks. Generally speaking, there are at least 200 problems in the mathematical machine classics, and it is necessary to know the main points and test sites of each problem. However, the machine classics are all recalled by candidates, and the authenticity of the machine classics and the accuracy of the answers need to be verified. After the exam, I also contributed several machine classics to the forum. So my advice to you is that it is best to look at the answers provided by GMAT750 and 750, especially 780 and 790. Otherwise, you will not only be misled, but also have poor exam results.
4.GMAT readers should not be underestimated, be familiar with it and summarize it frequently.
I think GMAT readers are despised by many people, but in fact, after I finished the exam, I think GMAT readers are very important. It doesn't mean that we have to spend a lot of time reading machine classics, but when we encounter similar or identical reading in actual combat, it will first have a certain positive psychological effect, and then it will be of great help for us to grasp the main idea, the author's point of view and the general outline of the whole article. Finally, we can spend more time on details to improve our scores. Therefore, GMAT readers need to read, be familiar with the types and fields involved in reading articles, and often summarize the test sites, difficulties and error-prone points of reading articles.
5.GMAT machines focus on doing things and ignore options.
GMAT machine classics really need to be read. I regret not reading well in the first exam. However, my experience in World War II is that GMAT machine pays attention to static reading, and the options can be glanced at or ignored directly. This is because I consider that the machine warp itself is inaccurate, and only the stem has the most reference value. The error rate of option memory is higher, and many details may not be presented. Therefore, focusing on the stem can not only understand the general direction and content of the exam, but also save time in doing exercises and model exams.
6.GMAT data is not accurate, and the review process is coherent and smooth.
I bought a lot of materials at first, including OG 13, Xianghai textbook, grammar encyclopedia, analysis of long and short sentences, etc. I bought almost all the materials recommended by Daniel on the forum. But until the end of the exam, my grammar book was still new, and I finally gave it to my sister who took the postgraduate entrance examination. Therefore, the enlightenment to me is that GMAT data is not very accurate. OG 13 and the internal handout to Hailan Huang have been brushed several times. It's true that OG didn't brush them once, but it will become smoother and more familiar in the future. This kind of feeling will improve the speed of doing problems and enhance confidence, which is really helpful to actual combat.
GMAT review materials really need to be accurate, but I think "accuracy" refers not only to the small quantity, but also to the good quality of materials, and more importantly, to our meticulous and single-minded review. The consistency and sincerity of GMAT review process is very important, which is related to the short-term efficiency of the previous theory, because long-term review is easy to fish for three days and dry the net for two days, which leads to forgetting the review the day before yesterday, reviewing OG yesterday and watching Manhattan today. There is no system at all, and repeated review is a waste of time. Therefore, it is very necessary to read through a book (preferably OG 13).
7. The time of choosing 7 is very important. GMAT tests, test equipment and machines are insured during the safety period.
Everyone takes the GMAT, which is not only about strength and mentality, but also about luck. I agree, luck can be artificially multiplied ~ haha ~ So, before choosing the test date, you'd better consult Mr. Hai, or collect the GMAT time of calendar month by yourself. For example, the year of 13 is basically around 10 at the beginning of the month, so it is best to choose 22-25. It was about 20 days before I picked the right time to take the exam. There are enough machine classics for reference and study, so you can relax your nervousness a little and keep yourself in a good state of preparing for the exam.
Knowledge points of 8.8. GMAT grammar is fixed and the topic is changing.
GMAT's verb grammar has always been a weakness of many people, especially those students with poor English foundation. Personally, I think GMAT grammar should grasp the knowledge points, especially the usage and structure of high-frequency grammar. GMAT grammar is a regular "small circle grammar". Of course, you need to use it flexibly when you do the questions, so that it will be smooth.
