GMAT techniques that work for me
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Does the technique of writing down ABCDE on scrapbook and striking each out as I run through the answer choices work for me? | Yes, it works wonderfully well for CR, SC, RC, and PS. In DS, I use the AD/BCE technique. |
What are minority questions in RC? | Atleast one RC passage will concern minorities. |
State of mind after the 30th question? | After the 30th question, the tendency to guess & move is huge. Reasons are 1)Frustration over performance in 1-30 2)Time running out |
What are speed breaker questions? | Difficult questions after the 20th. They are designed to bog you down and lose time so that you cant complete the test |
Fight-flight response during GMAT | My fight-flight response gets activated during GMAT. At the heightened stress, I get bogged down by even simple calculations. So relax & make sure its not triggered. |
How do I go fast if I am behind on time? | Even when fast, each question requires atleast 1 min.In that time, eliminate as many options as possible, CHOOSE randomly, and move on. |
How do I keep track of time during the exam? | Look at the clock only after every 5 questions. Tough questions take more time, easier ones lesser. But in a batch of 5, they even out.Focus on questions not on time. |
