Anyone who is appearing for a GMAT should understand the computer adaptive structure. This structure is used in order to test the candidate even more accurately. A question is put up in front of the candidate of certain difficulty level, if it is attempted correctly the difficulty level goes up otherwise it goes down. So the candidates must be preparing for all level of questions.

Tip #6
Once a question is presented to you, it has to be answered. So if you do not know the answer to any question avoid random guessing rather use educational guessing by using logistics and common sense.

Tip #7
Do not forget to take up mock tests. This will not only add to your practice but also give you an idea about the type of questions asked and will get comfortable with the pattern of the exam.

Tip #8
When a lot of practice has been done, you will get into a habit of choosing the correct option by your own method. But the best way to choose your answer is to cancel and ignore the deliberately wrong choices which will help you focus more.

Tip #9
The key to success in GMAT is practice and more of practice. Only practice can help you score well in GMAT. So one should keep practicing till the exam.

Tip #10
Though practice is important one must not extend the practice sessions. One shouldn't delay in taking up the test because it already takes time in registering. Also the confidence goes down with delay in exam.
