The way you study for the GMAT can’t </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">just</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> be based on learning math and grammar. It also has to improve your executive reasoning skills and prepare you to take the test effectively.</span><span id="more-16855"></span></p> <h4><b>Start to Study for the GMAT: A Checklist</b></h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">1. Decide <a id="bloglink" href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/blog/when-take-the-gmat/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">when to take the GMAT</a>.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">2. Pick a <a id="bloglink" href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/blog/good-gmat-score/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GMAT goal score</a>. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">3. Learn how the GMAT looks and feels by reading the following links:</span></p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;"><a href="https://www.mba.com/exams/gmat/about-the-gmat-exam/gmat-exam-structure" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">How is the GMAT organized?</span></a></p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;"><a href="https://www.mba.com/exams/gmat/about-the-gmat-exam/gmat-exam-structure/quantitative" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">What types of questions are on GMAT Quant?</span></a></p> <p style="padding-left: 60px;"><a href="https://www.mba.com/exams/gmat/about-the-gmat-exam/gmat-exam-structure/verbal" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">What types of questions are on GMAT Verbal?</span></a></p> <p>4. <a id="bloglink" href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/free-gmat-practice-test/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Take your first practice test</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (for free!).</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That’s not a mistake: it’s fine to take your first practice test </span><b>before you start studying for the GMAT. </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">The point isn’t to see your score! It’s to help you understand what and how to study for the GMAT. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Your first practice test will take about 2.5 hours, if you skip the Analytical Writing and Integrated Reasoning sections. </span></p> <p>5. <a id="bloglink" href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/blog/error-log-the-1-way-to-raise-your-gmat-score/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Create a GMAT error log.</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you really want to know how to study for the GMAT effectively, this is it! Keeping an error log is the single best move you can make, and the earlier you start, the better.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">6. Learn the math and grammar basics.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The GMAT isn’t a math test, and it isn’t an English test. It only tests basic content in both of those areas. But part of studying for the GMAT is knowing that basic content inside and out. If you’re rusty on math or grammar, start studying for the GMAT by working through these two books:</span></p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;"><a id="bloglink" href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/store/strategy-guides/foundations-of-gmat-math/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Foundations of GMAT Math</span></a></p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;"><a id="bloglink" href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/store/strategy-guides/foundations-of-verbal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Foundations of GMAT Verbal</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Not sure whether you need a GMAT math refresher? Take the 40-minute Basic Math Diagnostic in our Student Center. By the way, we offer </span><a id="bloglink" href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/prep/foundations-of-gmat-math/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">a course on the GMAT math fundamentals</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, if you learn better in the classroom. Check it out! </span></p> <h4><b>How to Choose a GMAT Study Strategy</b></h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Should you study for the GMAT by taking a course, or should you go it alone? What are the options, and which one is right for you?</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For most of us, the </span><a id="bloglink" href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/prep/complete-course/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">GMAT Complete Course</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is the right choice. The course structures your studies, keeps you accountable, and makes sure you don’t miss anything that could show up on the GMAT. You’ll also learn how to study for the GMAT on your own after the course ends. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This takes the stress out of studying for the GMAT—you’ll never have to wonder whether you’re covering everything or whether you’re studying correctly. When you sign up for the course, you also get all of the books you’ll need to study for the GMAT, plus access to a ton of online GMAT study resources. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you decide to do GMAT self-study instead, your options are to do a guided self-study program or to study entirely on your own. Our self-study program is called </span><a id="bloglink" href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/prep/on-demand/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">GMAT Interact</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. When you sign up for Interact, you’ll get all of the books you need for self-study and a set of game-changing interactive lessons that cover the same material as the course. You’ll also have a syllabus to follow, although you’ll need to hold yourself accountable for sticking to it!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To do GMAT self-study without Interact, you should purchase the following books. </span></p> <ul> <li><b><a id="bloglink" href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/store/official-guides-for-gmat/official-guide-for-gmat-review-2019/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GMAT Official Guide</a></b></li> <li><strong><a id="bloglink" href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/store/strategy-guides/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Manhattan Prep 6th Edition Strategy Guides</a></strong></li> <li><strong><a id="bloglink" href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/store/strategy-guides/foundations-of-gmat-math/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Foundations of GMAT Math</a></strong></li> <li>Optional: <a href="https://www.mba.com/exam-prep/gmat-official-guide-quantitative-review-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Official Guide to GMAT Quantitative Review</a></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Optional: </span><a href="https://www.mba.com/exam-prep/gmat-official-guide-verbal-review-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Official Guide to GMAT Verbal Review</span></a></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Optional: </span><a id="bloglink" href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/store/strategy-guides/advanced-gmat-quant/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Advanced GMAT Quant</span></a></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Optional: </span><a id="bloglink" href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/store/strategy-guides/foundations-of-verbal/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Foundations of GMAT Verbal</span></a></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You should also sign up for an account at </span><a href="https://www.mba.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">mba.com</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and get familiar with the free practice problems and the two free practice GMATs available there.

Start your self-study by going through the checklist at the start of this article, then creating a GMAT study calendar!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another alternative is </span><a id="bloglink" href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/prep/tutoring/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><b>GMAT tutoring</b></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. You can also use tutoring alongside self-study, while taking a course, or after your course is over. Tutoring works best when you want guidance on a few specific aspects of how to study for the GMAT, such as guessing strategies, word problems, or Critical Reasoning. It’s also an option if you’d like to take a GMAT course, but you need more flexibility or a different timeline. (If you have a deadline coming up, you could also check out our </span><a id="bloglink" href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/prep/bootcamp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">GMAT boot camps</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">!) </span></p> <h4><b>How to (Not) Study for the GMAT</b></h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I’ve met a lot of GMAT students over the years, and here are two that I’ve spoken with over and over again. They’re both putting a lot of time and energy into studying, but they both need to make a few changes to reach their goals. </span></p> <p><b>Student 1: Problem-Solving Patricia</b></p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I did every practice problem in the Official Guide. Then I did every problem from mba.com. I can usually solve Quant problems in four or five minutes, and I’m getting about 80% of them right. I also did every practice test twice. But I’m still not hitting my goal score, and I’m out of practice problems! Where can I find more GMAT problems?”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Patricia is making two big mistakes. First, she’s not paying nearly enough attention to </span><a id="bloglink" href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/blog/everything-you-need-to-know-about-gmat-time-management-part-1-of-3/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">GMAT timing</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. A lot of GMAT problems have a fast solution and a slow solution. When you give yourself four or five minutes to do a problem, you’re allowing yourself to practice the slow solutions, instead of learning to find the faster ones. Patricia should </span><b>time herself whenever she does practice problems</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She’s also doing a lot of problems, but she isn’t doing them thoughtfully enough. </span><a id="bloglink" href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/blog/how-many-gmat-problems-do-i-need-to-solve/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Blasting through a ton of problems is really satisfying, but you don’t learn </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">while</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> you’re doing it</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Learning happens afterwards, when you review and reflect on how you solved those problems. Patricia is probably making the same mistakes over and over without realizing it. She should </span><a id="bloglink" href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/blog/error-log-the-1-way-to-raise-your-gmat-score/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><b>start a GMAT error log</b></a><b>, </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">identify areas she’s weak in, and use </span><a id="bloglink" href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/prep/on-demand/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">GMAT Interact</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> or the </span><a id="bloglink" href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/store/strategy-guides/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">GMAT Strategy Guides</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to study those areas in-depth. She should also do each problem more than once and spend more time reflecting on what to take away from those problems. </span></p> <p><b>Student 2: Studious Shannon</b></p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I took a GMAT class, read all of the Strategy Guides, and did all of the Interact lessons. I have a whole binder of notes on all of the math and grammar rules, and I’ve been studying my flashcards every day. But I’m still not hitting my goal score! What should I study next? Should I read the Advanced Quant book?”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If the GMAT was a college exam, Shannon would get an A+. On most exams, the more you know, the better you score! On the GMAT, knowledge is great, but </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">performance</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is even more important. And in order to improve your performance, you have to practice performance. Here’s the advice I’d give Shannon: </span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Do actual GMAT problems, exactly how you’d do them on test day: with a timer, as part of a set of multiple problems. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">When you finish a set of problems, think deeply about two things. First, what was the best way to solve the problem? Second, for each problem you missed or spent too long on, why did it happen? Record this info in your error log. </span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Shannon also might be thinking quantity, not quality. When she does poorly on a practice test, she assumes that there’s some topic she hasn’t learned about yet. But Shannon’s probably already studied all of the GMAT material she needs. She just needs to apply </span><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overlearning" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">overlearning</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to the topics she’s already studied. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Looking for more GMAT study principles?

When you study, you’ll spend most of your time doing three things: </span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Learning about a topic or a strategy</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Practicing by doing GMAT problems</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Reviewing and analyzing what you’re learning</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Learning about a topic or strategy is an ongoing process. Don’t assume that you’ll read the Geometry Strategy Guide once and never miss a Geometry problem again. That’s not how your brain retains info! You’re better off learning a new topic in small chunks, not all at once. Even then, you’ll need to periodically review what you’ve learned.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here are your best resources for learning about a new topic. If you’re taking a GMAT course, you can add ‘go to the class session on the topic’ to this list!</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Read the Strategy Guide chapter(s) on the topic and do the end-of-chapter drill problems. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Do the GMAT Interact lesson on the topic.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">For math topics, Khan Academy is a great resource! You can even search for ‘math worksheets’ plus the name of your topic online, and you’ll find a ton of drill problems. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">There’s a wealth of information on sites such as </span><a href="https://gmatclub.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">GMATClub</span></a>—<span style="font-weight: 400;">although, since a lot of it is written by anonymous users, you should take it with a grain of salt. </span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By the way, if you’re wondering which topics to start with, try taking and </span><a id="bloglink" href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/blog/analyze-gmat-practice-tests-part-1/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">reviewing a practice GMAT</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. If you work through the full review process, you’ll walk away with a list of topics to prioritize. You can also check out this article on </span><a id="bloglink" href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/blog/high-value-gmat-quant/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">high-value GMAT Quant</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are two different ways to do practice GMAT problems, and both of them play into the right way to study for the GMAT. You can practice problems on a specific topic (or a specific type of problem), or you can do mixed practice problem sets, to work on your general problem-solving skills. Here’s where you can find great GMAT practice problems for either of these goals: </span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><a id="bloglink" href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/store/official-guides-for-gmat/official-guide-for-gmat-review-2019/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">GMAT Official Guide</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.mba.com/exam-prep/gmat-official-guide-quantitative-review-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Official Guide to GMAT Quantitative Review</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.mba.com/exam-prep/gmat-official-guide-verbal-review-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Official Guide to GMAT Verbal Review</span></a></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.mba.com/exam-prep/gmat-official-practice-questions" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">GMAT Official Practice Questions</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> from mba.com</span></li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This type of practice also includes taking practice tests. Throughout your GMAT studies, you should take a practice GMAT </span><b>every two to three weeks</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Taking practice tests regularly will keep you informed about your progress. But taking them too often will wear you out and waste your practice tests without teaching you much. There are more efficient ways to study for the GMAT than taking practice tests—like doing targeted, timed sets of Official Guide problems. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Finally, review is a critical part of learning. To review what you’ve learned from class, from Interact, or from the Strategy Guides, consider making “cheat sheets” for each topic you’ve studied. Choose a topic, and based on your notes and your own recollection, write down the most important tips and rules for that topic. Then, do a few new problems on that topic, to confirm that you didn’t miss anything! </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can also review by creating and studying “GMAT code” flashcards. Read this article on </span><a id="bloglink" href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/blog/cracking-gmat-code/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">cracking the GMAT code</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and start making flashcards based on problems! (If you’re not up for making your own, the </span><a id="bloglink" href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/app/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Manhattan Prep GMAT app</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is a little like a great set of flashcards. </span><a id="bloglink" href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/blog/heres-how-to-study-with-the-manhattan-prep-gmat-app/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here’s some guidance on how to use the app.</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">) </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, the most important part of your review is your </span><a id="bloglink" href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/blog/error-log-the-1-way-to-raise-your-gmat-score/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">error log</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Record every practice problem you do, and set aside one study session per week where you </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">only</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> redo and analyze old problems. Always mark problems you’d like to try again later: these should be problems that were just a bit too tough for you when you first tried them. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One great review hack: never do </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">all</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> of the end-of-chapter drill problems the first time you read a Strategy Guide chapter. Leave a few for later, then try them a week after reading the chapter. </span></p> <h4><b>Quick How-to-Study Tips</b></h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There’s a lot of information here, so we’ll finish up with a couple of bite-sized GMAT study tips. </span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The best study plan is the one you’ll stick to. Even if you aren’t studying for the GMAT perfectly, if you’re able to study consistently and stay motivated, you’ll make progress. You don’t have to do everything in this article all at once! </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you’re taking a Manhattan Prep GMAT course, your instructor can answer questions on how to study! Don’t hesitate to reach out. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Always know what you’re going to study next so that when you get some free time to study, you won’t have to wonder how to use it. Creating a study calendar for each week takes a bit of time, but it’s a huge help in the long run. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s better to study a smaller amount of material thoroughly than to rush through everything. </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Find balance in your studies. Don’t spend all of your time doing problems, but don’t spend all of your time reading books, either. And no matter what you do, spend plenty of time re-reading, re-doing, and reviewing. </span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">When you start studying, you’ll have a lot of new stuff to learn. That’s fine! As you move towards test day, shift more towards practicing real problems and “warming up” for test day. By the time you’re ready to take the GMAT, you’ll be totally prepared for the real thing. ?</span></span></li> </ul> <hr /> <p><b><i><em><strong><a id="bloglink" href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/instructors/chelsey-cooley/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Chelsey Cooley</a><a href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/instructors/chelsey-cooley/?utm_source=manhattanprep.com%2Fgre%2Fblog&utm_medium=blog&utm_content=CooleyBioGREBlog&utm_campaign=GRE%20Blog" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img decoding="async" class="alignleft" title="Chelsey Cooley Manhattan Prep GRE Instructor" src="https://cdn2.manhattanprep.com/gre/wp-content/uploads/sites/19/2015/11/chelsey-cooley-150x150.jpg" alt="Chelsey Cooley Manhattan Prep GRE Instructor" width="150" height="150" data-pagespeed-url-hash="1615980074" data-pagespeed-onload="pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);" data-pagespeed-loaded="1" /></a> is a Manhattan Prep instructor based in Seattle, Washington.</strong> </em></i></b><i><em>Chelsey always followed her heart when it came to her education.

We’re not kidding! </i></b><a id="bloglink" href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/classes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><b><i>Check out our upcoming courses here</i></b></a><b><i>.</i></b></p> <hr /> <p><b><i></i></b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Studying for the GMAT is likely one of the hardest things that you’ll ever do. Many of my former students tell me that studying for the GMAT was way harder than business school classes!</span><span id="more-14839"></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So what happens when you’ve spent months of your time studying, invested money in a class or books, put your heart and soul into trying to increase your score… but you still haven’t hit your goal? Here’s the uncomfortable truth:</span></p> <h4><b>You Might Not Hit Your Goal Score</b></h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As an educator, I’m deeply invested in doing whatever I can to help all my students succeed, but I also don’t believe in sugar-coating or building false hope. I know that even with months or years of hard work, not everyone is going to get above a 700. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Personally, I know that if I worked with the best personal trainer in the world for months, I could become </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">significantly</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> stronger and more agile. But no amount of hard work would turn me into an Olympic gymnast. I’m just not built for exceptional (or even above-average) athleticism. At a certain point—despite all the effort I could muster—there would be vanishing returns on the athletic skills I could achieve.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The same is true when studying for the GMAT: after a certain point, everyone hits a threshold of vanishing returns, after which all the studying in the world won’t yield a score increase. (For me, it’s 780-790. I make too many careless mistakes to ever get a perfect score!)</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You might be thinking, “Wow, this is really discouraging.” (You might also be thinking, “What is she thinking? Shouldn’t she be telling me that I’ll succeed if I just buy more books or resources or tutoring hours?” Absolutely not! My mission is always to do what’s in the best interest of my students, and I would never want anyone to spend time or money on anything that wasn’t going to bring results. Every one of my colleagues would agree.) </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But don’t despair yet: here are several reasons why it’s ok to stop studying for the GMAT before you hit your goal score.</span></p> <h4><b>1. The GMAT is </b><b><i>not</i></b><b> the most important part of your application.</b></h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This surprises some people, but it’s true. Business schools care about the </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">whole</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> applicant: work history, undergraduate record, hobbies and interests, etc. They want someone who is going to be an all-around asset to their class.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you have a 770 GMAT score but a low GPA and resume that shows no initiative or leadership… you’re not going to get into a top school. The GMAT score alone won’t get you in. On the other hand, if you have a very impressive resume but a lower GMAT score, you might be able to get into a top school. Schools can overlook the GMAT if they have enough other data points to believe that you’d be an asset.</span></p> <h4><b>2. Your time might be better spent improving other parts of your application.</b></h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Let’s say that you’ve been studying for the GMAT for 4 months, you’ve learned all the content, and your practice exam scores have gone from 530 to 610 to 640 to 660… to 670… to 670… but they’re not budging from there. You’ve taken the real test twice and got a 660, then a 680. Your goal is to get a 700-720.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Option 1: You could spend another 2-4 months grinding away, spending every spare hour studying, in the hopes of bringing your score up a few more points. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Option 2: You could spend that time doing more volunteering, perhaps taking on a leadership position in an organization. You could take an online or extended-learning class in finance or accounting to demonstrate interest and academic prowess. You could help your friend build an app for her new startup. You could write an article and get it published, etc., etc. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A GMAT score increase might seem more immediately necessary, because that’s what will be measured directly against other candidates. But I assure you, some version of Option 2 is the much better option: that’s what will make you unique and stand out among the competition! Think about the things you could put on an application that </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">no one else could</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, then think of ways to accentuate those things. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you’re looking for advice on how to make yourself stand out, I recommend doing a free consultation with our partners at </span><a href="https://www.mbamission.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">mbamission.com</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p> <h4><b>So How Do I Know </b><b><i>When</i></b><b> I Should Stop? </b></h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here’s a flowchart of questions to help you decide:</span></p> <p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-14840" src="https://cdn2.manhattanprep.com/gmat/wp-content/uploads/sites/18/2017/10/capture.png" alt="Manhattan Prep GMAT Blog - When to Stop Studying for the GMAT by Ceilidh Erickson" width="430" height="657" srcset="https://cdn2.manhattanprep.com/gmat/wp-content/uploads/sites/18/2017/10/capture.png 430w, https://cdn2.manhattanprep.com/gmat/wp-content/uploads/sites/18/2017/10/capture-196x300.png 196w" sizes="(max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px" /></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It can be disappointing to let go of a goal before you’ve fully reached it. But if you’ve put real, significant effort into your studies and gotten as far as you reasonably can, it’s the prudent decision to </span><b>ignore the sunk costs</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and </span><b>invest your time elsewhere</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Making prudent, rational decisions about what to invest time, energy, and money into—isn’t that what business school is all about? ?</span></p> <hr /> <p><b><i>See that “SUBSCRIBE” button in the top right corner?

The actual algorithm isn’t disclosed—but we’ve been able to “backwards engineer” the process via a lot of official score research, leading to our </span><a id="bloglink" href="https://www.manhattanprep.com/gmat/gmat-score-calculator/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="font-weight: 400;">GMAT Score Calculator tool</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. (Thank you to all of our students who shared their official test score reports!)</span><span id="more-14778"></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can use the Manhattan Prep GMAT Score Calculator to figure out </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">approximately</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> what you need to reach on the Quant and Verbal sections in order to hit your goal score.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here’s why the word </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">approximately</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> has to be in the previous sentence:</span></p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Any pair of Quant+Verbal subscores can map to up to </span><strong>three</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"> different Total scores.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you want to understand why, read the next section; if you want to just take my word for it, feel free to jump to the section after the next one.</span></p> <h4><b>Pairs of Subscores Map to <em>M</em></b><em><b>ultiple</b></em><b> Total Scores</b></h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Most people are very surprised to learn that any pair of Q+V subscores can map to up to three different Total scores. For example, the pairing V41, Q49 can map to a 720, 730, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">or</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> 740! What’s going on?</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Each section of the test has what’s called a </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">raw</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> score. The Quant raw score determines your Quant subscore, the Verbal raw score determines your Verbal subscore—and the two </span><strong>raw</strong><span style="font-weight: 400;"> scores (</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">not</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> subscores!) are used to calculate your Total score.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can score between 6 and 51 on the Quant section, for a total of 46 different subscores. The same is true on the Verbal section.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Total score ranges from 200 to 800—there are 71 different scores in that range. Since there are more possible Total scores, it has to be the case that some pairs of subscores can map to more than one Total score.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">From the research we’ve done, it seems to be the case that any pair of subscores can map to 2 or 3 different Total scores.</span></p> <h4><b>So What Do I Need to Get My Goal Score?</b></h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Let’s say that your goal score is a 690. Plug that number into the GMAT Score Calculator to see what score combos will </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">probably</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> allow someone to reach that score. (Note: depending on your screen size, you may need to scroll to see all of the highlighted score combos.) </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Let’s say that your last CAT score was 640, with subscores Q40, V38. (Note: These scores show that Verbal is your stronger area, even though Q is the higher number. V38 is currently the 85</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">th</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> percentile, while Q40 is the 41</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">st</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> percentile.)</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A lot of people would look at that score pairing and think, okay, V is looking good! But I really need to bring Q up, so I’m going to study mostly Q from now on.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hang on a second. Look at the chart.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you don’t improve V at all, then you’d need to improve Q to ~46 in order to hit 690. You are planning to get </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">all</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> of your desired score improvement from your weaker area.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">(The flip side: If you don’t improve Q at all, you’d need to improve V to ~45 in order to hit 690. V45 is the 99</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">th</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> percentile—that’s a tall order.)</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s not a good idea to rely on just one of the two sections for all or most of your improvement. Set goals to improve </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">both</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> sections. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For instance, if you improve both sections by 3 points each (to Q43 and V41), you have a good chance to hit your 690 goal.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Your score could be a 680, though, due to the factors discussed in the previous section. So if you really want that 690 and a 680 just won’t cut it, set your sights a little higher, just in case. If you aim for a Q44, V42, your underlying raw score should get you at least to 690—and who knows? You might just hit that elusive 700!</span></p> <h4><b>The Big Picture: Set Goals for <em>B</em></b><em><b>oth</b></em><b> Q and V and Give Yourself a Little Leeway</b></h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Realistically, most people need to improve both Quant and Verbal to hit their goal score. But it’s often the case that we see people focus primarily on one area. Relying almost entirely on your weaker area to get you to your goal is not a good idea! </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Use the GMAT Score Calculator to prove that to yourself. Set goals for both Quant and Verbal. Also, think about whether you want to set your sights a little bit higher to give you some leeway in case you fall a little bit short on test day. ?</span></p> <hr /> <p><em><strong>Can’t get enough of Stacey’s GMAT mastery?
