The most
important thing to keep in mind while studying and taking
the GMAT is time. —Many people run out of time due to
various distractions in the room and troublesome questions.
Use a stopwatch while you practice and limit every question
to 3 minutes. If after 3 minutes you still can't get it,
you should be able to narrow it down; make an educated guess
and move on. The biggest mistake we see is people taking
too long to finish questions and regret it when time expires
with unanswered questions. The test is computer adaptive;
meaning that as you move through the test you will most
likely get questions at your level or harder. Studies show
that if you haven’t figured the answer out in 3 minutes,
extra time won’t increase your chances of success. You are
better off answering every question than getting stuck on a
few and having to guess the last questions.

Use computer
software when studying and taking practice GMAT exams. The
GMAT exam is on the computer and you should familiarize
yourself with it to avoid any surprises on test day.
3.
Practice
using a dry erase board, the GMAT administrators doesn’t
allow scratch paper and pencil anymore; every test taker is
required to use a wet erase booklet with six pages. This
catches many people by surprise which is the last thing you
want on test day!
