Gmat Test Preparation

GMAT is an entrance test conducted worldwide for the MBA aspirants who want to pursue their business and management programs in reputed business schools. There are various reasons as to why one should write GMAT.  First, the score secured by the test-takers are required by most of the business schools, though not by all, to select the best candidates into their institutions.  The score is an indication of the candidate’s suitability to get admission in famous schools. It also acts as a parameter to measure the candidate’s ability to succeed academically in a graduate management program.  Second, the percentile table, presented to the candidate along with the score, helps him make out where he stands in competition with others.

One should prepare for GMAT systematically. As GMAT covers three sections, keen attention must be paid to the types of questions and level of difficulty that are present in each section. There are quite a few steps one can follow before attempting each section. However, in this article I am going to provide an insight into how one should prepare for the GMAT Verbal section. This section contains three important parts: Reading Comprehension, Critical Reasoning and Sentence Correction. Here I would like to deal with the approach to the Reading comprehension. Reading comprehension tests a candidate’s ability to read and comprehend the given passages.

Since the Reading Comprehension passage contains questions asked mainly from three areas: science, social science and business, the candidate has to determine which areas the questions generally come from. Science passages are factual and, hence, are easiest to comprehend. Social science passages are very interesting and the candidate has to read them quickly and try to comprehend as much as possible. The sentence structure in business passage is a bit complex and requires the student to infer the meaning and the author’s opinion. He has to identify whether the question is based on fact, inference, main idea, or tone. A thorough study of the GMAT Practice sets will help one become familiar with all types of questions. However, one should read the key words in the questions and then try to locate those words in the passage in order to be able to answer the questions accurately.
