The key areas of competencies that the  GMAT tests are the ability to think critically, recognize underlying patterns and focus on important details among the myriad of other distracting details presented.

Gautham's GMAT success with Plusprep

Gautham’s GMAT experience

I scored 730 on my GMAT! I was afraid of the verbal section beyond anything else, but the experts at Plus Prep helped me get over my fear. I learned very logical ways to approach GMAT questions and this helped me avoid the "traps" that I usually fell into. I couldn't have gotten this score without the guidance of the trainers at Plus Prep!
