GMAT Mind Games reveal solutions to master the mind and make it focus on the task at hand.

If you’d like to boost your GMAT score within the next few minutes, here are 3 things that you could immediately do:

1. Rest a little after every 10 questions. (REALLY!)
2. Look at the clock only after 10 questions, and adjust your pace accordingly.
3. Solve the last 10 questions in each sub-section of the OG (only for Verbal and Quant sections) and make sure you have multiple solutions to those problems/questions. 

Now you can do all of this and immediately benefit. If you want to know WHY this will boost your score? 

Well, read on. OR if you’d like to try first, go ahead. I’ll wait....


So, here is why these 3 tips work.

1. Resting after every 10 questions by (say) closing your eyes for ten seconds, and breathing deeply helps increase the flow of that magical thing called “Oxygen” into your brain. This will lower fatigue and increase your brain’s efficiency. You’d be stopping for a total of seven to eight times, and that’s just seventy to eighty seconds of your life that could boost your GMAT score.
2. Well, simplistic as it may sound, by not looking at the clock, you maintain your focus better. You can easily hide the clock on the test screen. And only look at it after every ten questions. This way you gain at least 3 minutes or more of time. Timing strategies are freely available on BTG forum.
3. The last 10 questions are really the cream of the lot. They are usually the toughest questions. And  are the best source of knowledge. Analyze them till there is nothing more to be obtained from those questions. Although all practice must be timed, always try to solve questions yourself and only then look at the solution. Then, go online, to BTG or to your favorite test prep course, and try to find other answers/solutions. This way you will have a repertoire of solutions for similar problems.
