Making Use of Your Gmat Exam Date Booking

Taking the GMAT exam is not easy, but it’s not impossible either. That said, I have had some great success in my own testing history, and I am always on the lookout for new ways to get the edge on my competition, so that I can crack the test after sitting back for months or even years. I like to make use of a few useful tips to help me with my date bookings, and I’m going to show you how to make the most of your GMAT study schedule and booking, in order to maximize your chance of passing your exam.

o Exam Date Booking: One of the first steps to getting ready for any type of test is making sure you plan ahead. The GMAT is no exception, and you need to start making notes weeks in advance. Keep these dates clear in front of you, and make sure to keep track of them every day. This will make it easy to jump into the test with a fresh mind, ready to conquer the concepts and strategies that will be tested during the duration of the test.

o Study Plan: You need to put together a solid study plan, one that will get you prepared from the start. Don’t try and tackle the exam with a few hundred unconnected ideas thrown at you. Get started by focusing on a specific set of questions, and spend a decent amount of time studying these before even attempting the actual test. Don’t forget that this is a skill test, and not necessarily a memorization test, so the more time you spend studying for skills, the better you’ll be at tackling the entire test. And don’t waste time worrying about memorizing what you’ll need for the test – you should spend that time worrying about each concept and figuring out which strategies work best for you in the real world.

o Get Your ducks In A row: If you don’t know what dates you’ll be able to study on, get those dates sorted out as soon as possible. If you want to make the most of your Gmat examination dates, then you must make sure that you can study at the right time. Make sure you study well in advance. And also, ensure that your study schedule will allow for the flexibility you need to work around your lifestyle.

o Pick a Date: Pick a date that’s not only convenient to you, but a date that will allow you to study without the distractions of work or family. There are two ways you can do this. One, you can allocate a certain amount of free time in your diary or planner to track the progress of your Gmat examination. Two, you can mark test dates on the calendar in advance and then look at the times given to you when you’re set to take the exam, and schedule a study session during that time.

o Test Accessibility: Make sure you check the test dates often. Different institutions might have their own rules about booking test access times. Some schools let students book up to three hours of study time per day; others allow two hours. It’s good to ask your school directly about their Gmat exam date booking policies, so that you’ll know what to prepare for.

o Get Informed: Get as much information about the test schedule as you can. There is plenty of information available on the internet, particularly Gmat tips, study tips and pointers. There are also numerous articles that can help you prepare, and you should look out for them in your local newspapers, periodicals and magazines. Alternatively, talk to your school’s education department.

o Set a Budget: Setting a budget will help you keep track of your expenditure over the duration of your preparation. You can also ask your teacher if you can be made to undertake extra work, in order to help you with your Gmat. If they agree, this can be accommodated. It’s always a good idea to keep a tally of all your expenditure during your Gmat study period, so that you can see where your money is going.
