Getting started with your Richmond GMAT prep can seem daunting at first, but Varsity Tutors can help you get on the right track. There is no need to go at it alone. Studying with other students in a class or with a tutor during private mentoring sessions can enhance your test preparation and take it to a totally new level.
If you are applying to a business school, such as the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Business, you likely have to take the GMAT before applying. Many admission boards at business schools such as the Robins School of Business at the University of Richmond expect serious students who are applying to their school to take the GMAT. Your scores on the GMAT can be an indicator of how well you will fare in the classes at the school and whether your level is on par with other students.
Regardless of why you are attending business school, professional test preparation could help you out. It does not matter if you are a current student or someone who is currently working and going back to school in an attempt to improve your ability to find a different job.
What do I need to study during my GMAT preparation?
There are four sections on the GMAT. These four sections can be taken in one of three sequences. The sequence shown below is only one of those possible. Regardless of which sequence you take the test in, you will have the same amount of time for each section.
The first section is the Analytical Writing Assessment. Do you feel as if your writing skills are up to par? Are you able to evaluate arguments and respond to them? Are you able to craft compelling arguments that are presented in an organized fashion, and are you able to present them with data or evidence to support your arguments? You will be tested on how well you can do all of those things. You will have half an hour to craft your essay.
The next section is the Integrated Reasoning section. You will be presented with various data points. For example, you may see graphs, tables, charts, text, and other sources of information. Your job will be to synthesize all of the various data points that are given to you. You will have to be able to do two-part analysis as well. You will have half an hour to answer 12 questions.
Next comes the Quantitative Reasoning section. Here, you will have to use your reasoning skills to figure out answers to questions based on data that is provided to you. For example, you may be given two statements and be required to figure out if there is enough data within them to answer the questions.
Finally, there will be the Verbal Reasoning section. Here, you will be tested on your reading comprehension skills. Are you able to fully comprehend arguments that are presented to you? You will be measured on your ability to evaluate and respond to arguments with arguments of your own.
What type of Richmond GMAT prep should I look for?
There are a number of options available to you when it comes to preparing for the GMAT test. Your first option is enrolling in a Richmond GMAT prep course. This can be either a two-week or a four-week course.
There are a number of benefits of signing up for a Richmond GMAT prep class. First of all, these are all virtual classes. Since they are conducted online, you can attend without commuting from the comfort of your own home. At the same time, you get to interact with a knowledgeable instructor who can help you and the other students prepare for this important exam. The instructor can encourage lively discussions in which students work together and collaborate in order to help each other prepare.
The instructor can also give the class tips on how to be better at taking tests in general. As mentioned, the GMAT exam has time limitations for all of its sections. What are you going to do if you face a question on one of the multiple choice sections that you are unsure of the answer to? In that case, the instructor may recommend that you take your best guess, proceed to the other questions, or go back if the section allows and if you have enough time.
Another thing that you can do is sign up to study with a private Richmond GMAT tutor. A private mentor can study with you in a relaxed and comfortable environment, allowing you to focus exclusively on your studies without having to worry about any distractions. With a private educator, you can ask as many questions as you would like without having to worry about holding up the class and preventing the other students from moving on. A private educator may also advise you to focus on specific areas of the test more. They can work with you until you gain a better understanding of the subjects or topics that you previously were having difficulty with. The beauty of studying with a private instructor is that you do not have to waste time on topics or areas in which you already have an understanding.
With a private educator, you also have the opportunity to study with someone who you can develop a rapport with. This can help you in your studies. Studying with someone who you enjoy studying with can help increase your motivation to learn.
Finally, there is a third option, and that is opting for both a class and private mentoring sessions. This gives you the chance to receive all of the benefits of both prep methods and makes for an excellent GMAT preparation strategy.
What should I do to get started with Richmond GMAT prep?
Regardless of whether you are looking for a GMAT class, private mentoring, or both, we can help. Varsity Tutors can help you get started with any of the above, so contact us to start your Richmond GMAT preparation.

John: Richmond GMAT test prep instructor
I graduated from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC in 2008, the oldest English speaking acting conservatory in the world. I graduated Summa from University of St Thomas with a BA in English, and just wrapped up a MS in Data Science from Northwestern. I'm a huge Red Sox fan and love watching detective shows when I have free time.... Positivity. Always. I believe that if a student is given positive tools and is allowed to understand the material rather than be lectured at, they're more likely to do well in the future.
