Let’s make a post today on GMAT tutor online resources and, as a result, we will offer a few tips about all GMAT questions, focusing on advices about how to learn for your tests. Pick up ‘mental math’ skills: Doing math in your head can serve you well. “The entire time you are preparing for the GMAT, resist the urge to reach for the calculator whenever you need to do some real-world calculations,” suggests McGarry. “Learn the tricks to doing mental math (It’s way easier to add 59 + 27 by adding 50 + 20 and then 9+7; then add the sums together.)” Have a strategy for sentence correction questions: To get the correct answer in sentence correction items, you must first find the wrong ones, says Yim. “Eliminate commonly tested errors in other answer choices until only one remains,” he adds. “Many times the correct answer will not sound great but that’s not the goal; you are trying to pick the error free answer.”

First of all you have to make sure that you are in a very good shape: starting with two days before eating and hydrating properly, you sleep on time and enough. Plan your time so that you have as few activities as possible during the learning period. The form you are in will largely determine your endurance. Secondly, you must have study conditions: an airy and very well lit place (preferably natural light to stimulate attention), quiet, and avoid contact with “equipment” (phones, computers ..) or people (parents or friends friends) and talk) that will interrupt you. Attention is very important, and interruptions are a major impediment to concentration.

Understand What “Computer-Adaptive” Means : The GMAT is a Computer-Adaptive Test (CAT), meaning it keeps a running tally of your score as it goes, based on the number of questions you get correct and their levels of difficulty. The computer-adaptive sections always begin by giving you a medium question. If you get it correct, the computer gives you a slightly harder question. If you get it wrong, the computer gives you a slightly easier question, and so on.

The one thing we ask of you: please test out your internet connection and video conferencing software BEFORE your first session. If you aren’t sure if the internet is fast enough, you can run a test at www.speedtest.net. If both the upload and download speeds are consistently higher than 1.5 mbps, you should be fine. The second drawback to online tutoring is that some of the “chemistry” of tutoring doesn’t really translate online, and we don’t want to pretend otherwise. Unless you’ve spent plenty of time on Skype already, it can feel unnatural to work with a teacher who is just a face on a screen. We’ve worked with hundreds of students online over the years, and we don’t think that the lack of in-person “chemistry” substantially limits our students’ GMAT score improvements, but we want to be honest about it: for some students, it just feels strange to handle GMAT or GRE tutoring solely via the internet.

In your test prep, you should practice with a scratch pad to get used to the feel and the space confinements. Manhattan Prep has created a GMAT test simulation booklet and marker that are almost identical to the ones you’ll receive at the GMAT. You can purchase it here. Alternatively, to create a DIY version, just purchase a yellow grid legal pad and a slender Sharpie-sized marker. It won’t be exactly the same, but you’ll get the feel for the size and shape of both. Check out our guide to tips and tricks for the GMAT scratch pad for more on how to use these unusual tools most effectively in your note-taking. As stated above, many GMAT Quant questions don’t require you to solve all of the many equations embedded within them. Sometimes picking a simple number and substituting it for the unknown variable works even better-and makes the problem simpler and easier-than actually solving the complex algebraic equation.
