Candidates need to understand that purchasing many GMAT books will not fetch them a higher GMAT score. In fact, if they start referring to multiple GMAT books and resources for a single topic, they will only get confused and end up leaving all the study material. The best starting point is always the official GMAT exam material. The official GMAT prep material should be at the base of your preparation. Make sure to cover the entire official study material at least twice. Once you are done with it, you can study other resources such as the Manhattan Guides, Veritas study material, GMAT club, Beat the GMAT, Thursdays with Ron, etc. Stick

There is a lot of GMAT study material available online which you can access and start preparing. Those who do not want to go for coaching/tutoring can study at home and can prepare for the GMAT test on their own. Make sure to prepare a sound strategy to prepare effectively. Do not leave the official GMAT study material at any cost. You must complete it at least twice. Prepare short notes as you study; these will aid in revision. Also, give practice tests once you are through with the preparation. It is always better to understand your weaknesses and work on them.

Although there are a lot of sources available online to prepare for the GMAT exam, however, candidates can access free GMAT practice tests on the GMAC site (mba.com). They need to download the GMAT prep software and create an account and get GMAT practice tests. Make sure that you solve the practice tests provided by the GMAC. These will provide you with a near real-time feel of the GMAT and will help you gauge the level of your preparation. Once you complete a GMAT mock test, it is essential for you to analyse your performance in that GMAT practice test. You need to work on your weak areas based on your mock test analyses.

10 days is too short a time to prepare for the GMAT test. One needs to develop quant and verbal skills along with analytical skills to score a decent GMAT score and one needs to prepare for at least 3-4 months to acquire these skills.

You can then memorize all the formulae and understand the concepts. If possible, try to solve the GMAT OG and appear for at least 4 full-length GMAT mock tests.

Candidates planning to give the GMAT exam make sure they start the GMAT exam preparation at least six months before their test results are due. Usually, candidates need six to eight weeks time to prepare for the GMAT exam. Try to study one section at a time. Go through the types of questions you are going to get in different sections. Try to develop speed gradually and start doing GMAT practice tests available on the official website of GMAC (mba.com). Try to identify your weak areas and start working to improvise them.
