very true

I remember when I was to write a chevron scholarship exam and I was informed that it would be in GMAT format, I quickly told my parents to help me purchase the past questions, after they did this I started voracious studying, when I finally went for the exam I discovered that most of the GMAT questions where repeated and I got the scholarship on a platter of gold

then when I tell my friends who also wrote the exam with me but failed that I passed they will tell me I am so lucky, rubbish there's no such thing as luck my preparation earned me the award.

Try Government test to see if your preparation will get it for you

The GMAT used for employment purpose is different from the GMAT the op is referring to. Employment GMAT is simple and not to be compared to the business school required GMAT.

The main challenge with Nigerian candidates is that we are not used to standardized test and as such it's kind of strange and difficult.

Another challenge with gmat is the data sufficiency questions. Anyone who can master and do well in data sufficiency will do well in the quantitative aspect of gmat. The quantitative part is the most difficult anyway.

And like the op said, you have to take as many preparation tests as possible. You can be sure your scores in the prep tests is a reflection of what you will score in the main exam.

My final advice to anyone who want to write the GMAT, please get the most recent official guide and use it for your preparation. That was my own undoing. I did not use the official guide while preparing and I paid dearly for it. I want to write it again but I can't summon the mental strength to prepare.

Gmat is tough but it is surmountable.

By the way I scored 560.

Not everyone has it that easy in life. In the real world some children have to sell gala in traffic just to eat. Intelligence is not only about being able to learn responses to other people's questions but also being able to look and see the world as it really is and then to ask questions of your own

The GMAT (Graduate Management Assessment Test), administered by GMAC, is a fundamental requirement for admission into over 7,000 graduate management and business programs (such as the MBA) in 2,300 business schools worldwide.

The exam comprises of 4 aspects

- A computer adaptive quantitative section
- Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA)
- Integrated reasoning
- Verbal reasoning

If you are looking to enroll into one of the business programs, your first step would be to take and pass the GMAT exam with a minimum score of 550/800. Some competitive programs require a minimum score of 600/800. Also, a good score gives you an edge in scholarship and funding considerations.

Passing the GMAT exam is no easy feat at all, but it is very much achievable. It involves a great deal of mental preparation, structured study plan and usage of the right materials and past questions.

Personally, i would be taking the exam by September to use in making applications for an MBA program from October, so i want to commence preparations as from today. I know i am not alone in this endeavour so i am looking to recruit interested persons so that we can form a viable whatsapp study group to encourage ourselves and share information and materials.

Our first project will be legally and officially laying our hands on the GMAT® Official Guide 2019 (ebook and online material). It is valued at $79.95, but there is an ongoing discount sale at $47.95. This discount will expire on the 30th of this month. You can check out its features via this link, www.efficientlearning.com/gmat/prepguides/official-ebook/

If you are interested in joining this train, kindly whatsapp me on 09083748635 for further directives.

Thanks!
