5-Step GMAT Preparation Plan | GMAT Prep Guide to score 700+ - YouTube

A high GMAT score is the single most critical component of your MBA application.  The decision tracker

on GMAT Club shows that applicants who scored 760 and above are approx. 4x more likely

to be admitted to top business schools compared to applicants who scored less than 700. 

And that's not all!  A 740 scorer, on an average, wins a scholarship of a whopping

$40,000!  So, scoring high on the GMAT  not only increases your chances of getting

an admit from a top business school  but also paves a way to win a substantial scholarship. 

Hi guys and welcome back to our channel! Today, we're going to share with you the 5-key steps to score

a 700+ on the GMAT.    Before you unlock this recipe to success,   please subscribe

our channel for more videos on   GMAT preparation, MBA Admissions, MBA scholarships,

and Career transformations.  Without any further ado, let's get to the 5-steps .

The first step is planning.   To plan efficiently for your GMAT , you need to

know  three things  - 1. What is GMAT about  

2. What are your strength and weaknesses?   3. How much time and effort you need to reach 700+ 

Thousands of GMAT test-takers fail to prepare the right way because they don't fundamentally understand how

the GMAT works.   It is critical to understand , what is GMAT, its different sections, what

does it tests, how is it scored, and much more.

You can watch our video where we cover everything you need to know about the test.   Just

click on the top right corner.   Once you understand what the GMAT is about ,

you need to analyze your strengths and weaknesses.  Are you better at Quant or

Verbal?  Moreover, out of 5 sub-sections,   which ones are you good at and where do

you lack?  To know this you can either take the GMAT test and get your Enhanced

Score Report.  All of which will cost you approx. $300  or you can take a free Sigma-X mock that

provides in-depth insights about your strengths and weaknesses.  Once you know what your weaknesses

are, you can then focus your time and effort on  strengthening those areas.  But how

do you know how much time and effort to put in?   For that you should have a

comprehensive study plan.  Make sure that your study plan answers these three questions: 

1. How will you reach your target GMAT score?   2. How much time you need to put in?  

3. And where do you need to put in this time?  Take a look at our video on How to create

a GMAT Study plan. Just click on the top right corner . Once you are done with the planning

stage,   the next step is to learn concepts and how to apply those concepts. 700+ scorers

always credit their success to strong conceptual foundations.  Without a strong grasp on

concepts, test-takers often select a  wrong choice,   spend too much time

solving a question  or are forced to just skip the question.  Moving on to Step 3. Around 80% of

your success on the GMAT depends on practicing the right kind of questions. Once you

are done building a solid foundation and applying those concepts on easy questions, it is important

to test those skills by practicing Medium-and-Hard-level GMAT-like questions.  You also want to keep

an eye on the timer  and ensure you are not taking more than 2-minutes to solve

each question. Remember, GMAT is a timed, adaptive test,  so to get a 700+ score, you need

to solve Medium-and-Hard-level questions correctly within the allotted time.  Once you have

practised GMAT-like questions and improved upon your timing, you simulate exam-conditions

by taking mock tests. Please take an Official GMAT mock test   or a Sigma-X mock test  

as the scoring on these tests is the most representative of the scoring on the actual GMAT.

After taking the mock test, analyse your performance  by identifying your weak areas and assessing any timing

issues. The idea is to take this feedback, spend time working on it, and then take another

mock test to confirm that you have fixed the issues.  At last, the final step to

score 700+ on the GMAT . Many students do well on the mock tests 

Many students do well on the mock tests  but on test day,   they struggle to keep their

composure and so fail to achieve their target GMAT score.  It is important to learn

and practice test-day strategies to ensure that you can deal with all that the GMAT

can throw at you.  We cover these test-day strategies to help overcome performance issues. You

can access this by clicking on the top right corner of the video.   So, folks that is how

you can achieve a 700+ on the GMAT in 5-key steps. But scoring 700+ also requires a

top prep resource.  Looking for the best GMAT preparation resources can be tricky and

time consuming . So we are offering a limited-time free trial with access to
