7. STAGE 1

8. MOCK GMAT BEFORE STARTING THE
COURSE
 As a simulation of the actual test, we conduct a mock
test to gauge the level of the student. This helps us
understand the strengths, grey areas to be polished to
score better
 This test is not for you but for us to assess you.

9. STAGE 2

10. CONCEPT IMPLANT AND TECHNIQUE
TRAINING
 Comprises Series of lectures. Through these
lectures, basic concepts for tackling GMAT
questions will be explained.
 The Idea is to equip the students not only with the
basic concepts, but also the short-cuts and the
advanced techniques to tackle the questions.

11. AWA STRATEGY
 The Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) consists of two
 30-minute writing tasks:
-- Analysis of an argument Strategy plan:
-- Analysis of an Issue Strategy plan:

12. ANALYSIS OF AN ARGUMENT
STRATEGY PLAN:
 First we make familiar with the questions and help students to understand that what
the questions being asked in the argument.
 We discuss different types of questions and make you understand that what question
is asking and how to understand the questions.
 We advise that 30 minutes given for this section, time should be divided accordingly.
First 7-8 minute should be spent on planning about the topic.
 We discuss what are the points that should be jotted down on the topic that you are
going to write and how you are going to present. Secondly after reading the question
what assumptions can be drawn and what alternative explanations can be given.
 What counterexamples can be taken into consideration and what additional evidences
might prove useful in fully and fairly evaluating the reasoning.
 How to choose the best examples and how to present them.
 We discuss and write jointly with the students some sample arguments.
 We give thorough feedback on students written arguments.
 What kinds of sentence we should write and how to present them in the right manner.
 How to quickly review the writing assessments.

13. ANALYSIS OF AN ISSUE STRATEGY PLAN:
 How to read analysis issue question carefully.
 Which position we should take and what are the things to be kept in mind to take
a position in analysis of an issue.
 How to support your own views on the issue.
 We discuss what points should be jotted down that you are going to write and
how you are going to present. And after reading the questions what assumptions
can be drawn.
 How to frame of your response.
 How many paragraphs ideally we should write and what content should be
included in each paragraphs.
 How to divide and manage the time for each and every steps.
 All the different issue will be discussed in the class and sample issue will be
written reciprocally in the class.
 The kind of example that is given and how many examples ideally should
be written for practice..
 How to command on language and how to follow the sentences and write the
simple and complex sentences.
 What things will be considered at the time of review the answers.

14. QUANT SECTION
 37 Questions – 75 Minutes
 Two Types Of Questions:
 -- Problem Solving
 -- Data Sufficiency

15. QUANTITATIVE STRATEGY
 Problem Solving:
 Math portion one can easily achieve 100% accuracy. We do the best efforts to make your math score
100%.
 We discuss the entire shortcut and advance calculation technique so you can finish your test comfortably
in time.
 Arithmetic portion we discuss all the types of question they ask related to , Properties of Integers,
Fractions, Decimals, Real Numbers, Ratio and Proportion, Percents, Powers and Roots of Numbers,
Descriptive Statistics, Sets, Counting Methods, Discrete Probability,
 Algebra, Simplifying Algebraic Expressions, Equations, Solving Linear Equations with one unknown,
solving two Linear Equations with two unknowns, Solving Equation by Factoring, Solving Quadratic
Equation, Exponents, Inequalities, Absolute Value, Functions.
 Geometry, Lines, Intersecting Lines and Angles, Perpendicular Lines, Parallel Lines, Polygons(Convex),
Triangles, Quadrilaterals, Circles, Rectangular Solids and Cylinders, Coordinate Geometry,
 Word Problems problem we discuss Rate Problems, Work Problems, Mixture Problems, Intersect
Problems, Discount, Profits, Sets, Geometry Problems, Measurement Problems, Data Interpretation
 Special focus on bizarre and Composite problems
 Rigorous exercise for the toughest Problems
 Less rough work and how to minimize and how to do mental Practice.
 Special emphasis on probability and permutation & Combination questions.

16. QUANTITATIVE STRATEGY
 Data Sufficiency Strategy Plan
 Strategy regarding question starts from “IS”
 Special strategy for figure types of questions.
 Special emphasis on question starts from “if”
 Special emphasis on integers and inequality types of question.
 Instead of solving the problem how we have to determine
whether sufficient information is given to solve it.
 How to consider each statement separately and when to
consider both statement together.
 How to focus on the question stem.
 All question we have to solve with pen and paper.
 Intensive practice for the toughest questions

Circular, Unwarranted.
 We discuss all question type as well like Main idea and Prime purpose question, Description
Questions, Extension Questions, inference question, Explicit detail question, Application
Questions, Tone Questions , Writing Technique Questions.
 While reading the passage we also discuss that how to understand Compare and contrast
two positions, Show cause and effect, State a position and then give supporting evidence.
 Importance of pivotal words like but, however, although, yet, despite, nevertheless,

Strengthen, Weaken, Inference, Explain the (apparent) contradiction, Complete the
passage, “Except” questions and bold face question.
 What will be right steps to attack the question?
 How to predict the answer before reading the question to imagine additional premises
(additional pieces of information) and what affect each would have on the argument overall.
 How to mark answers choices with its nature.
 How to eliminate answer choice and reach to the correct answers.
