Ace the GMAT

In order to attain the high GMAT scores needed to get into the top business schools of their choice, an increasing number of prospective b-school candidates are taking the GMAT more than once. But how does one go about acing the test for the first time or bolstering a second attempt? The book is a distillation of the experiences of a veteran test-prep instructor, MBA Admissions coach, author and education raconteur. It offers a philosophy built on two simple but powerful propositions: * Identify the principles behind classic problem types. * Succeed first by not getting the easy questions wrong and then go on to get the difficult questions right! Ace the GMAT contains two of the author’s own inventions: The Big Seven Number Cracker for open-ended variable problems in Data Sufficiency and the Four-Corner Question Cracker for Reading Comprehension questions. Brandon Royal graduated with an MBA from the University of Chicago and is a Certified Public Accountant. In addition to his work as an independent author, education consultant and corporate trainer in Hong Kong, his work as a GMAT test-prep instructor and admissions coach has helped hundreds of applicants achieve acceptance at one or more of the world’s leading business programmes.
