Description

The bad news is, you can't avoid the GMAT torture if you intend to go to graduate business school. Because of the grade inflation that skews GPAs, most graduate business schools now require the GMAT as a way of separating the wheat from the chaff. Now for the good news: By doing well on the GMAT you can overcome years of goofing off in school. A dynamite GMAT score can get you into a graduate program that otherwise wouldn't look twice at you and your C+ GPA. On the other hand, even with a GPA of 4.0 from a top-flight school, you'll be facing some pretty stiff competition, and a high GMAT score could make the difference between being admitted or not. If you're one of the quarter of a million business school hopefuls taking the GMAT this year, you'll want to use this friendly guide to help you outsmart the competition. Written by long-time test prep coach Suzee Vlk, The GMAT For Dummies offers you an enjoyable way to get quickly up to speed with what you need to know to: Fine-tune your test-taking skills Bring the right stuff to the test Psych out the test Spot traps built into test questions Figure out the point behind questions Make the best educated guesses Combat test-taking anxiety Use your breaks wisely Save time and beat the clock The GMAT For Dummies features dozens of practice questions, two complete practice tests, and reviews to help you monitor your progress. And it's loaded with test-taking tips, tricks, and expert advice on how to: Assess your strengths and weaknesses Think "the GMAT way" Approach different types of questions Nail the grammar questions Ace the reading comprehension and critical reasoning questions Shine on the analytical writing assessments Master the general math questions Excel on the data sufficiency math questions This fat-free test prep guide is for bright, ambitious people on the move. It gets you on track with what you need to know and can use on the GMAT quickly, efficiently, and thoroughly.
