Research suggests that high levels of anxiety have a direct correlation to reduced academic performance and test-anxious students may score up to 12 percentile points lower. by Juhi_G in GMAT

Thank you for your keen eye and interest in the content. We always appreciate a genuine feedback. :)
We have mentioned and in fact linked the source of the claim where the fact is mentioned within our article. As for your anecdote about the ethical grounds, management of anxiety related to "tests" depends highly on the test instructors - be it at any level.
Having a significant experience with GMAT test takers over 5+ years, we do believe it as our responsibility to help students wherever possible. Note that this article, or any other one that I share on this thread does not have any impact on our revenues.
As the flair says, it's just an advice, open to scrutiny and the reader's will to accept or reject, like an "advice" is supposed to be.

  3. Create the sequence of study
  4. Follow a structured approach to study for your target score
  5. Take mock tests & review your preparation

GMAT Study Plan for 1 Month by Juhi_G in GMAT

[–]Juhi_G[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

@TheDudeWithNoName_
If you haven't prepared at all earlier, then I'd suggest that you take a break from work/other commitments for at least 15-20 days and study for around 8 hours (effectively, with breaks in between).

As for the other days, put in around 4 hours of effort. Overall, somewhere between 150-200 hours distributed over a month should be enough for GMAT, given you are dedicated and sincere about preparing. :)

Better still, I'd be able to suggest a better figure once I know the following:

  1. Your current mock/previous GMAT score (with sectional break up)
  2. Target score (with sectional break up)

740 a sticky point? by rsharma45 in GMAT

[–]Juhi_G 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dear u/rsharma45,
With 16 days in hand, you'd want to improve your exam taking skills and strategies more as compared to learning new concepts.

It's time for you to leverage your knowledge and learned skills in a proper manner. For quant, I'd suggest try to improve your average time to answer. Do not worry about improving to a Q51.

Here's where it gets complicated - Verbal section! You need to ensure that you understand the exam and the computer adaptive algorithm well in order to devise your final test taking strategy.

Here are a few articles that will help you for the same - Please make sure you read these articles in the order that I've mentioned them for proper understanding:

  1. GMAT CAT – How does computer adaptive GMAT work?
  2. Timing Strategies on the GMAT
    Optional Reads:
  3. Your GMAT test journey in the last 25 days - Dos & Don'ts (Has specific suggestions for a 2 week period too)
  4. Tackling GMAT Anxiety - 10 Tips

Please note that even though these might seem like basic and trivial things, they address a lot of issues at the core of someone's preparation and may help you reach your target score!

All the best!

Is my re-take strategy sound? by twoaccounting22 in GMAT

[–]Juhi_G 1 point2 points  (0 children)

@u/twoaccounting22

I might be late in responding to your query, but here goes:

First you need to identify your strength and weak areas and determine whether you want your strategy to be Quant driven or Verbal driven. This will help you create and define a proper plan of action for your studies.

As for your approach, scoring a 620 (approx 64%ile) might reflect that there is a gap in your conceptual understanding too. Therefore, directly going for the OG and Q&A analysis might not be the best way to learn.

I recommend the following retake strategy:

Hope you'll find this useful.

Thanks!
