GMAT Exam Dates – Know When To Start Studying
I’m going to give you some advice based on my own experiences. When I took my first GMAT test I didn’t bother to do much research on it at all. I just went online and picked a test date that was posted by a local testing center. I did this blindly, not knowing anything about what I was doing and ended up getting a pretty poor score on it. I learned my lesson. Don’t make the same mistake I did; do some research and find out what questions you are going to be tested on so you know how much to prepare for.
One of the best ways to deal with the whole process of finding out GMAT exam dates is to set up a schedule and stick to it. I have found that it is much easier to study well if I have a set time to study as well as a set time for each section. If you just keep guessing and looking around at different dates and times of the year, you are going to find that you have a very hard time to keep up with what you are doing and really mastering the material. So, set a date and stick to it. This may mean planning a weekend break and taking a few GMAT preparation classes as well, but in the long run this will save you a lot of time and effort.
Another thing I did was buy a practice GMAT test and a review book. These are two of the most important tools you can use to help you take your test, and they can be purchased online for free as well. They are great for getting a feel for the types of questions that you are likely to face on the exam as well, and they will help you to pinpoint certain weaknesses that you need to work on before the exam.
The best way to get these free practice tests is to take a look at an official GMAT website. They will usually have a few free tests available from time to time that you can take and then gauge your level of knowledge on them. These are especially helpful because they are so similar to the actual exam. Some questions might be exactly the same, but the format may be quite different and thus you will have a better idea how to prepare for these questions. Also, it will be easier to compare your answers to the official ones to see if you’ve truly grasped the material.
Another important thing to do is to make sure you are scheduling yourself enough time to study for this GMAT. It does not matter how motivated you are, if you do not allocate the time to studying for this test, then chances are good you will not pass it. If you want to maximize your chances of success, here are some tips: Take a look at your typical schedule and try to allocate at least one hour each day for studying. It does not have to be anything crazy, but just an hour or so spent doing a few GMAT practice tests.
And finally, if you are looking to save some money, you should definitely try to avoid going to a real classroom for a test. Instead, why not consider doing a GMAT practice test online instead? While online exams can give you the same experience that you would get in a real classroom, they allow you to take them when it fits best to you, whether that is late night or early morning. Since you will not be spending any money on a GMAT test, you can also take as many tests as you like without having to worry about wasting money on a classroom full of real people.
So there you have it. You now know exactly when you can study and when you should not bother going to a classroom for a test. Now that you know what GMAT test dates to expect, all that’s left is to take the first test with your new knowledge. Good luck!
