Are you ready to own the GMAT?
My name is Ryan Petersen and with your permission, I’ll be your guide to acing the GMAT. I’m going to share the insights, study tips, and test-taking techniques that allowed me to score a 760 without ever taking a class.
I’ve built this site because I believe that by following a few simple preparation techniques I developed while studying for the test, everybody has a shot at a similar score.
Before we begin, though, let’s get one thing clear. Mastering the GMAT, as with all new skills, takes a lot of hard work. If you’re looking for easy shortcuts to help you get that 700+ score you need to get into a top MBA program, this is not the place to be. Good luck finding it.
My approach to GMAT preparatoin is quite the opposite. If you’re going to score a 740 or above, you’re going to work harder than almost anybody else. But you’ll also be working smarter than others, identifying those key sources of knowledge about the GMAT that will really differentiate you from the pack.
