What Skills Does the GMAT Test?

The GMAT primarily tests four skills:

   1. Endurance and ability to focus
      You'll have to stare at a screen intensely and focus for nearly four hours. Keep this in mind when taking practice tests. Get used to working for many hours on end. Learn how to relax. The physical and mental exhaustion is part of the test's challenge. That's why we offer GMAT CAT practice tests. You should take as many practice CATs as possible to learn the test and to get used to the grueling experience.

   2. Basic knowledge of grammar, math, reasoning, and argument formation
      The second skill, a basic knowledge of grammar, math, reasoning, and argument formation, is covered in the later chapters of this online prep guide. No calculators are allowed on test day, so you need to practice doing basic math calculations

   3. Test-taking skills: ability to guess, work at an appropriate pace, and make decisions under pressure
      These skills are covered in this chapter and throughout the online guide. Timing is a major part of test-taking skill, particularly for the GMAT CAT. Our patent-pending Test Pacer system will teach you the pacing interactively.

   4. Problem-solving abilities
      To improve your problem-solving abilities, the fourth skill, we have extensive information on reasoning techniques and math concepts throughout this online guide. When you get a question wrong, make sure to review our explanations so that you understand the conceptual error that you made in the question. You do not want to repeat the error.
