How to Review a Data Sufficiency Question
You’ve heard it here before: reviewing practice problems is even more valuable than doing them. Here’s a step-by-step guide to reviewing your GMAT Data Sufficiency problems.
Testing Accommodations on the GMAT, Part 1
Do you qualify for testing accommodations on the GMAT? Or do you think you might?
Broadly speaking, the term accommodations refers to altering the testing conditions for a particular student in order to “level the playing field” for that student. Someone who is blind, for example, may need some kind of altered test format in order to read the test questions. These accommodations do not make the test easier for the student; rather, they make the test possible at the same level as for a regular student.
Other potential issues are less obvious but no less valid. Someone with a severe reading disorder might qualify for extended time while someone with a mild form might not, because a severe reading disorder might slow someone’s reading speed to the point that it is no longer reasonable to expect this person to get through the test in the standard length of time.
Where is that line drawn, though? What is the process for applying for testing accommodations and how are the decisions made?
Testing Accommodations on the GMAT, Part 2

GMAT Study Tips: How Do We Learn?
This post was written by Manhattan Prep GMAT, GRE, and LSAT instructor Chris Gentry.
As a standardized test teacher (I started teaching LSAT classes back in 2003, and now teach GMAT, GRE, and LSAT classes), I’ve come to realize that one of the most impressively unfortunate aspects of test preparation is the simple fact that many people don’t know how to study! This is especially true for those of us who have not entered a classroom environment for several years—also known as most of my students preparing for the GMAT.
Let’s start with learning itself: how does the brain learn?
