However, those who are entirely new to the world of standardized testing or who have experienced time management and other issues in previous testing situations stand to benefit a great deal from the structural approach a test preparation course can offer. The expertise and experience of top teachers can provide valuable insights into the methodology of the test.

Standardized tests such as the GMAT rely on a specific rationality and are designed to assess a candidate’s analytical and problem solving skills in a standardized way. This also means that there is a standardized method of preparing for the test. The multiple choice format of both the quantitative and the verbal section is often deliberately complex and ambiguous, requiring the student to apply a particular rationality to be able to arrive at the correct answer. As a testing format, the GMAT differs somewhat from what you are used to at university or school and intuition or a common sense approach can sometimes lead to grievous GMAT results. Test preparation courses provide structured access to the logic underlying the GMAT and offer methodologies that help you achieve your best results.

Each GMAT test preparation course provider will have different strengths and weaknesses and not every approach will work for every student. By partnering with the world’s leading test preparation course provider – Kaplan – we are able to offer unmatched expertise and over 40 years of experience in teaching GMAT preparation courses. Every one of the course teachers has taken the GMAT and scored in the top percentiles. They undergo rigorous and continuous training to ensure that students get the full benefit of their expertise and that high standards are maintained. The test prep courses MBA.INFO offers in partnership with Kaplan focus on a strategic approach to the GMAT, with a particular emphasis on preparing you well for test day. With a fully comprehensive approach to GMAT preparation, our courses offer an unequalled coverage of all aspects of the test: content analysis, time management strategies, critical thinking skills, extensive practice of full-length tests and important test day tips.

If you are unsure whether you would benefit from a test prep course, do a quick check and see if you agree with the following:

• I am new to standardized testing.

• In the past, I failed to achieve satisfactory results in standardized tests by self-study.

• I want to achieve a high GMAT score.

• I sometimes get into trouble with time management in testing situations.

• I learn best when guided through the material.

• I just don’t seem to be able to crack the methodology behind those multiple-choice questions.

• I would like to learn a strategy for taking the GMAT

If you agree with the majority of these statements, then you would most certainly benefit from a test prep course.
