This page lists many online resources that QTEM students have found useful. Additionally, should your home institution not provide any group GMAT classes or private lessons, many students tend to go for the Official GMAT Guide (old or new versions do not actually change much), which is a bundle of three books: GMAT Official Guide, Verbal Review, Quantitative Review. This will also give access to online free tests. If you know of a previous QTEM student at your home institution, why not ask them if you can borrow or have their books? If not, search the web for best prices to purchase.

On average, surveyed QTEM students took between two to three months prior their official GMAT exam to prepare, of which they spent between two to three hours per day studying. Of course, this all depends on each person’s availability; some students took a shorter time, taking only three weeks to prepare with a study time of six hours per day.

YES! Once prepared, students have found multiple ways to do their practice test and place themselves in a real exam environment where time pressure is key!

If you have purchased the Official GMAT Guide then there is a link to carry out sample questions. If not, the official website also offers free trial tests.

Other useful sources used are available in the links section of this page.

A common problem is time pressure. Many QTEM students who focused on timing were able to calculate how much time should be spent on each question. Taking practice tests made students aware of their strengths and weaknesses, and the time needed for different questions. They could then focus on the areas and points they struggled most with, and study harder in those areas.

When taking the GMAT exam, never leave a question blank as this can create more damage to your score.
