GMAT Preparation isnt as easy as it sounds. Are you hungry for a 700+ GMAT score ? Here are 10 steps to fulfill your ambition at the convenience of your home and at exceptionally affordable price.
Before we go to the list, lets understand, what does GMAT preparation actually consist of?
- 40% Concepts in Math and Verbal
- 60% Practice in Math and Verbal
Concepts consist of 30% theory and 70 %practice. So a major chunk of GMAT score relies on good practice and ofcorse some on concept building.
There is unending resources on the web which will confuse you on what to read and what to follow for excellent GMAT score. I have a perfect system, and I know its correct becuase I just scored 750 with this approach:
There is new way in town to prepare for GMAT. The GMAT FORUM way. Here is how to prepare:
1] Join a GMAT forum : www.scorechase.com [Its free] . Available 24×7, all u need is internet and start GMATTING [from home ...office anywhere]. ScoreChase provides free daily gmat practice questions and GMAT Weekly Challenge questions (and their solutions / explanations) . So you have continuous array of practice questions at your disposal ! The difference between the two is that Weekly Quests are 700+ questions, while the daily questions are easy to moderate difficulty. So you get to test your mantle against all sorts of questions.
2] Read about other GMAT test takers’ Experiences: GMAT Experiences and understand their strategy
3] Explore the website [navigation link on the left] to find all the areas of the website
4] If you are stuck at a score and cannot improve, you feel like you have the concepts, but still are not able to solve questions – you should consider taking the Scorechase GMAT Crash Course . The course focuses only on problem solving and tricks for 700+ level problems. You will get reading material which will consist of common tricks, a lot of practice problems, and email support for your Q&A.
5] Do not hesitate to post your solutions. In fact post whatever you feel must be the correct answer. If someone finds a fault in your approach, that is one less fault you have to worry about in the real GMAT exam.
6] Seek help and advice, the tutors on Scorechase are always very helpful and also provide some personal councelling for preparation.
7] Scorechase also provides Private Tutoring at very affordable rates. If you need extra help take private tutoring in verbal or math. Pay only for the subject you need help on.
8] Always take a test date before you start to prepare, gives you an ambition and a perspective on how to pace yourself. You can postpone later.
9] Give enough time for applications after you take your GMAT. Essays are very important part of the admission process and they shouldnt be taken lightly at all
10] Enjoy your preparation!
I have my GMAT on 5th Jan. I am hoping to get a good score.

Hi
Out of all the blogs I’ve read I liked yours the best. Good Work and Congrats on your score.
Anyways, I have made a hasty decision to give my GMAT ASAP. bcz I wanna join the Summer 2007 classes. Not aiming for any top ranked universities. But I’d like to get a 700+ score for myself.
Tell me where to start and how best can I do it.Time is a huge factor in my case…
I noticed you didn’t mention the usual Princeton Review in ur list.(?)
Looking forward to your help.
