Is it too early to start preparing for the GMAT in freshman year?

It's too early ... You should now make your GPA a higher, participate in more extracurricular activities, win more awards, publish more, lay a solid foundation in English, and start preparing for the TOEFL and GMAT in your junior year. By the way, do you want to go to business school to take the GMAT?

GMAT is the score of applying to business school, if you are majoring in economics and other majors, you should take the GRE... If you know it, ignore it ...

Freshman... Let's get English done first. Furthermore, it mainly depends on your major class. And focus on your research ability. If there are teachers in your school who are doing projects or something, please participate in them. Very helpful.

Agree with the plush heart.

GPA is the most important, followed by extracurricular and extracurricular activities.

English and GPA are placed on the same level, but don't limit yourself to English in school, it is helpful to register for classes outside and set a plan to learn English for four years.

And then there's perseverance, which is the hardest.

GPA is important, but it's not too early for you to prepare for GMAT.

I enrolled in the GMAT class during the summer vacation of my freshman year and sophomore year, and many of them were already working at the time of class, and some of them were sophomores and juniors, so I was the youngest.

But many sophomores and juniors tell me that I belong to the wiser kind, because they feel that the time is a little tight to prepare now, the professional courses are getting more and more difficult, some are still studying the second college, and some have not yet taken the TOEFL test; New Oriental's teachers also suggested that college students can take the GMAT test first and then prepare for the TOEFL.

So my suggestion is: you can be like me, start preparing in the summer vacation of your freshman year, and then go to the exam in your sophomore year, anyway, the validity period is five years, and when you graduate, it will be about the same, many people just put it off again and again, and when you have already worked or interned, you have no experience and then prepare for the review and exam, and the effect is often poor.

In the freshman year, you can memorize the red treasure book first when you have a good GPA, and the words are always a hurdle that you can't avoid

Early. Yes, including: GPA, club activities (leadership), research projects, competitions, etc.

The GMAT exam is a very systematic thing, and generally we recommend that customers review for about 60 days. All a 20 days, is to brush OG by yourself, to brush twice, a preliminary understanding of what GMAT is, GMAT test and what is the difference between the English test you have taken before, the second 20 days is to participate in the course, in the process of class, combined with the teacher's problem-solving ideas and skills, with a quantitative practice, master the GMAT test method, the third 20 days is the sprint, mainly in our Haixiang mock test system to complete the test, training the test feeling, especially the control of time, better cope with the test requirements.

First of all, we should think of GMAT as a platform for aptitude testing, so we should focus on cultivating our own abilities, rather than turning ourselves into a mobile library. In China's examinations, there are few tests of ability and more of knowledge. Therefore, those who are adapting to the Chinese exam must change their thinking when taking the GMAT.

Second, it is necessary to learn the actual combat method, not the method of hindsight. Be sure to do the questions within the allotted time so that you can see the gap between the examinees. There is no point in not timing the questions, because if you don't, the GMAT is much easier.

It is necessary to find a method in the case of timing, that is, a practical method. The method can be a little more complicated at first, but it must be simple later. The simplest and most effective method is the most effective method.

Third, choosing the answer is not to choose the right one, but to eliminate the wrong one. Especially when it comes to logic, this idea works best. Because irrelevant ones are relatively easy to exclude, and relevant ones are not easy to find.

After excluding the irrelevant ones, it is easier to see that the relevant relationship is in**. Of course, sometimes the two don't know which one to choose. Don't analyze it from a logical point of view, but from a more irrelevant point of view.

This method may sound ridiculous, but it is most effective in real combat.

Let's talk about the method of doing the question:

Reading questions are different for different people. Examiners feel that the key is the central idea and context. You can't watch it all, but you can't ignore it.

What to see? Topic sentences and context. A topic sentence is the kind of general statement.

It is usually the first sentence of the paragraph. Knowing the author's general thoughts and tendencies, you will have a general direction for doing the question. The veins are straight and folded.

Shun, can see less. The fold is the turning point, and it should be noted that it is generally the place where the question is made.

Logic questions, in fact, are related and unrelated. In the examination room, after reading it once, you should exclude irrelevant ones and choose the answers. There is no time to think about which type this is, there are several different cases of this type, what method is used in each case, which method is used in this question.

So, in a sense, logic questions are actually reading comprehension questions.

Grammar questions, mainly looking at the structure, are the subject-verb. With structure, you can find answers to most of the questions, such as parallel structures, etc. A small part of the questions are for details.

In the examination room, there is basically no time to analyze, just look at it, see the structure, and then choose the answer immediately. Grammar questions usually need to be practiced more, and gradually they can get rid of the shackles of content, quickly grasp the structure, and the speed will be improved.

Math problems, you must practice more. The examiner is not good at math, and he came from a liberal arts background, and he didn't use math in college, so he relied on his high school foundation. Candidates first familiarize themselves with the math and then do the questions.

Start slowly, mainly to clarify your thoughts and how to do questions. Then the timer started, and the speed got faster and faster. The key to math problems is familiarity.

In fact, the questions are all based on limited knowledge, and it is necessary to be proficient in solving the problems.

Also, don't hesitate to choose a topic during the exam.

Under normal circumstances, if you have a good foundation in English, the preparation time for the GMAT test is about three months is enough, if you can ensure 4 hours or more of effective study time every day, and prepare for the first self-study, it is recommended to review Zhou Youzheng within 3 months (university level 4, below this level you need more time on basic skills); Self-study and then fight to brush up points, be sure to do a good job of review before investing in a new round of preparation, focus is an effective premise.

For students with average English, if you can make good use of your time and resources, spend more effort and review carefully, you will almost be able to pass the GMAT exam in half a year.

If you have a high level of English, it is recommended that you learn the GMAT test-taking skills first, and then memorize the words and the GMAT questions at the same time. The main part of the time is whether or not your words are enough, which determines the main part of your review time.
