How To Self Study For The Gmat

If you've chosen to study on your own, you must perceive that there's a unlikeness between study and practice. Study is when you learn the methods for tackling Gmat questions. Convention is when you sit down and Convention those methods. The best move is to buy one, and only one, industrial test preparation book, faultless it, and then Convention the methods you've learned on former Gmat exams, such as those found in Ets' Official Guide for Gmat Review, plus Convention on Convention Gmat Cats (computer adaptive tests). You'll need to make a decision on which industrial book you pick - but pick one and stick with it.

Don't concern yourself with much with whether or not a book has best methods than the others. Instead, you should be more implicated with how well a book teaches person who is self-studying. For many people, studying something from a book, without a teacher, can be a difficult experience. If this is true of you, then you may want to seek out a book which guides you through the material well.

What Not to Do

Buy more than one industrial test prep book. Working through some industrial preparation books won't help more; indeed, it will nothing else but hurt, as you'll spend too much time studying methods and not sufficient practicing. Pick one book and stick with it. Once you're done, Convention heavily on full-length Gmat exams and questions - paper or computer.

Buy textbooks from person who took a live Gmat course. This is an big waste of money. The books are designed for classroom use, not self-study. As such, you'll be confused and frustrated. Even if the trainee took copious notes, the text is still not designed for self-study, and, as such, will teach you little. Many students assume that the big fellowships teach methods in live classes not taught in the retail books. This is not true. The methods in the live classes and the books are normally quite similar.
