Dear aspirant,

There are four sections, namely, Analytical Writing Assessment, Integrated Reasoning, Quantitative and Verbal. One should start early preparation and regular revision. You should be very good with English language. Analyze previous year papers and study as per chapter weightage.

GMAT is a skill based test and not a memory based one. Thus a 6 month plan gives plenty of time for the student to prepare. Any long term plan begins with a short term. Thus in order to build a 6 month plan, you need to have a daily plan. There should be a proper balance between what you can do and what you should do. Now any plan will be different for each person as the schedule and lifestyle will be different for each person. Some will be working professionals trying to squeeze in time for studying in their hectic day while others will be students in college having an ample amount to prepare.

You should aim to study 1 hour on an average per day. This can be increased to 2 or 3 on weekends depending on your level of preparation. To understand your progress, keep taking the GMAT mocks and evaluate the performance carefully. Work more on the areas where you are scoring less and strategize your study time accordingly. I mean anyone would want to score more that 700 on the test right?

The 6 month GMAT study plan will well-work for you if you are someone,

• who does not want to compromise on the work schedule and has personal commitments

• who is not familiar with the basic concepts

• who is aware that the deadline for application is 6 months away and has planned his admissions calendar well in advance

According to the 6 month GMAT study plan, you would be expected to dedicate approximately 200 hours for your preparation, which would include 100 hours spent on learning the concepts right from the basics and 100 hours in which you would practice what you assimilated on the mock tests. Consistent practice will not only help you retain the concepts better but will also improve your proficiency level in the test.

In GMAT, there is one section on essay writing. Now if you are not confident about writing, you need to give some time to it. You need to do a lot of reading, analysing sample essays, understanding what all elements are required in the essay. A lot of critical thinking goes into writing and the same is judged also very intricately.

The below 6 month plan would give you an idea how to go about it and excel GMAT.

Feel free to ask me in the comment box if you are having any further doubts

hope you find it helpful

Good Luck!

Hello Priyanka,

The best strategies you can follow are:

• Keep spending regular study hours daily on GMAT preparation rather than cramming for long without any results by day end.
• Make a time table, follow it. Keep difficult sections in priority if time is less and if the case is opposite then be confident on easy sections of yours.
• Keep giving mocks and test series in loop. Get over your weaknesses and take a hold on them by your increased number of tests weekly.
• Try to achieve your daily-weekly targets. Try to score more than your target.
• Do not panic and give up. You have good number of chances given in a year to appear for GMAT exam.

All the best.
