Conventional wisdom tells you: If you just keep your head
down, focus on learning, practice a ton of questions, you’ll achieve that
score. Everyone thinks that’s how preparation works. Traditional education has
ruined our ability to learn effectively – it made us take a test, get a decent
score, and then move on to the next year.
Traditional education doesn’t focus
on “Analysis”. And we tend to bring that “bad understanding” of how learning and test preparation works into our GMAT preparation.
There is no doubt in my mind that hard work is one of the
pillars of success. But, it’s just one of the pillars. It is not a guarantee!
On the GMAT, you need to constantly improve. If you haven’t
score 700+ on a practice test after months of hard work, ask yourself: Why aren’t you improving?
Here's is that answer: The lack of Analysis.
Not everyone is created equal- you will either be
a poet or a quant, which means you’ll be good at only 50% of the test before starting preparations.
You’ll
have to work on the other 50%.
And it’s not by brute force or hard work that you’ll get
results. It’s by analyzing your tests and practicing the right way.
I have
already written about how you can do that: here
