Its essential to take a practice test early on. Doing so will give you the initial feedback and diagnostic information that you will need to achieve your maximum score. Taking a full-length test right at the start can be intimidating. Place enough importance on your practice test to turn off your cell phone, give the test your full attention, and learn from your performance. But also remember: your practice test score does not count.

We highly recommend you start by taking the full-length test found in your online resources. This test is a computer-adaptive test in the same format as the actual GMAT. However, for your convenience, weve also included a paper-based pretest in of this book. The pretest includes full-length Quantitative and Verbal sections and will give you a chance to familiarize yourself with the various question types. It also allows you to accurately gauge the content you know and identify areas for practice and review.

Review the detailed answer explanations to better understand your performance. Our explanations label each question according to its question type and topic; these labels align with the material covered throughout this book. Look for patterns in the questions you answered correctly and incorrectly. Were you stronger in some areas than others? This analysis will help you target your practice time to specific concepts.

Use what youve learned from your initial practice test to identify areas for closer study and practice. Take time to familiarize yourself with the key components of this book. Think about how many hours you can consistently devote to GMAT study. We have found that most students have success with about three months of committed preparation before Test Day.
