Lessons from GMAT

Lessons I learnt from GMAT

Hey Guys! Wait a min..I am not gonna talk about co-ordinate geometry, sentence correction, vocab etc here…

These are lessons I learnt after reading the Instructions and tips for taking up GMAT.

Instructions for taking up GMAT

1) All questions are mandatory. One question at a time will be populated on the screen. You need to answer the question to get to the next one.
2) Once a question is answered you cannot go back and change the answer or re-attempt the question again.
3) The computer provides you with a tougher or an easier question depending on your answer to the previous question.
4) Your final score is computed based on the number of questions answered and the difficulty level reached.

Interpretations in LIFE

1) You need to face all the problems that life throws up against you. The best way to do is to take one problem at a time and concentrate on finding a solution.
2) You cannot go back in time and change the past. Hence once you take a decision do not regret. Accept and move on.
3) The opportunities and challenges that are provided to you will depend on your previous performances. Remember that excellence is not a destination but a habit.
4) Where you reach finally in your life will depend to a large extent on the number of right decisions made and the number of opportunities that you’ve made use of.

TIPS for taking GMAT

1) Answer all the questions. People who attend all the questions get a better score than people who don’t complete the test.
2) Try to eliminate the wrong choices when you have to take a guess. Making random guesses will impact your score.
3) If you answer a question incorrectly by mistake – or correctly by lucky guess – your answers to subsequent questions will lead you back to questions that are at an appropriate level of difficulty for you.

Interpretations in LIFE

1) Take up every opportunity that life throws up. Its better to have tried and failed than not to have tried at all. When you lose don’t lose the lesson.
2) Never take a decision in haste or anger. It will never be fruitful. And life is not ideal. Hence try to find a path or way out even if its not the best one.
3) Take the luck that comes your way and try to build on it. Remember that luck can take you to a higher level but cannot sustain you there. Only true effort can help you retain that spot.
