Preparing For the GMAT Exam in Karachi
The other reason I decided to post this article is that I wanted to let others know that it is possible to take my GMAT examination online. So I started looking for different options on how I could take the GMAT. One of the places I looked was the GMAT website in Houston, Texas. Of course, I didn’t want to take the exam there because I live in New York City, so I needed to find a different site.
But I was able to find a website that offers assistance for people from New York who want to take the GMAT. I decided to take the free tutorials that they have to prepare me for my exam. I have been studying really hard for this test and I don’t think I’ll get it done without the help of these tutorials.
My girlfriend and I are planning to move to Houston when I finish my studies. So I planned to take this test as soon as I get a chance. Now I need to prepare myself, both mentally and physically, to pass the GMAT. I don’t think I’ll be able to study as much as I did before the crash. And so my focus has to be on getting this one to score more than the other scores I failed.
So I started preparing for the GMAT exam from two months ago. I bought tons of GMAT preparation books and articles. I read until I became familiar with all the concepts. I took the GMAT preparation tests every night and tried to brush up my cramming skills.
And then the crash happened. I managed to take my first GMAT examination, but it was not a success. I failed miserably. Then I went back to my friends in Pakistan and told them about my failure. They encouraged me to take the GMAT preparation course from a different site, but I didn’t have enough money to pay them.
When I was in Islamabad I decided to change my mindset, which was not too difficult, I just changed my approach. Instead of studying hard for the exam, I started studying better. I bought videos from the Internet that showed me how to take notes, how to analyze my Answer Sheet, how to type up my exam and even how to submit my papers (I forgot about this part!) And I started doing light exercise, walking around the park and taking part in fun organized classes at the local university.
After about a month I managed to take my second GMAT examination in Islamabad. I did really well and managed to score over 500 on the test! This is when I decided that I need to take my GMAT examination online. I registered to take an exam at one of the established Test centres in Pakistan, but I didn’t know if I’d actually get a good result or not.
The exam consisted of two sections and I was excited. On the first section I got to take my Practical/Performance module and then my Verbal module. This was a bit dull, but it gave me a good base to start with so I could start learning the other topics really quickly. There were two formats in which you can take your GMAT examination, and that’s online or Offline. I chose to take my examination online because I found that it was going to save me a lot of time and money.
When I went for my appointment, I was asked to bring my resumes and cover letters so that the consultant could prepare my papers. I thought this was strange, but she was kind enough to understand that I had no time to review my previous work before the exam. I also needed to bring all my documents for the GMAT and I was a bit nervous about this, but the consultant explained that most centres will only need you to bring one thing. Once I was present and sat in front of her, I could see that the atmosphere was really professional and that the people there were really knowledgeable.
My test was on the day when I was supposed to do my last practice session of my preparations, but I had already taken my GMAT test the night before and didn’t have any more time to take it. Thankfully she wasn’t late and came in a nice little manor and took my test right away. I was very nervous about taking the GMAT and knew that I would get nervous about every question, but once I started doing the multiple choice section I was able to relax. Once I passed the exam, I became very happy and now I am preparing for my GRE exam which will hopefully be arriving in a couple of months.
