Top One Percent is fully prepared with its Concept Sessions, Unique and Copyrighted Techniques, Detailed Preparation Plan, and GMAT-Like Test Experience Mock Portal to help you succeed in conquering the GMAT Focus Edition and securing a position in the top 1 percentile.
Let us break it down at a topic level to gain a better understanding.
Quantitative Section – Each PS question in 700+ band is open to two interpretations: the correct one and the wrong one. The strange part is: if you interpret the question wrongly and calculate the wrong answer, that wrong answer is also present in the choices. This can truly hurt your chances. TOP is well-prepared for this section. There are no new additions, and consequently, no significant challenges to contend with. Only Geometry has been removed from this section, and Data Sufficiency will now be a part of the Data Insights section.
Verbal Section – Each RC question in the 700+ band tests tone (subtle and open to misinterpretation). If you are not being careful, you are going to be misled into choosing the wrong answer (the priming effect). Each CR question in the 700+ band makes you choose the "attractive wrong option" (generally placed before the right answer) and leave out the "boring (or seemingly irrelevant) correct answer". No new challenges in this section either! The removal of SC is the only change – nothing unexpected or surprising here! TOP is super ready to help students ace this section.
Data Insights Section – Each DS question in the 700+ band involves a TRAP. You end up marking the wrong answer with extreme confidence. Also, TOP has been teaching Integrated Reasoning (IR) for an extensive period now. We have consistently provided guidance to students, helping them navigate traps and achieve TOP scores. Since its introduction in 2012, we have been instrumental in assisting students in obtaining a perfect score in the classic GMAT Integrated Reasoning (IR) section. With the Focus Edition, there are no new surprises in this aspect as well. Thousands of Sandeep’s students have scored a perfect grade (8/8) in IR even when it was not an important section.
Have a look at this video from 11 years ago. These topics have been taught at TOP ONE PERCENT for such a long time now!
The only thing that shifts is the approach you adopt when tackling the exam. IR now contributes to your total score out of 805 – a difference compared to previous edition of exam. We have taken the initiative to stay updated, continuously refining and testing our strategies through multiple attempts to help you get the highest score in this section. This proactive approach ensures that we are well-equipped to navigate the nuances of the exam effectively.
