Tips For Giving Mba Entrance Exams

1)    Management entrance exams are for the selection of students to prestigious institutes offering courses in Management and hence they test whether you have the requisite Managerial skills or not.

2)    The most important skill of a competent manager is the ability to make quick and the right decisions under pressure. This is exactly what the Management entrance examinations test, whether you are able to handle the pressure during the test or not.

3)    Remember that no bookish knowledge or rote learning is going to help you here. What is needed is clarity of concepts. If you know a few important formulae and know how to use them, then that will definitely aid you. But mugging up of concepts or solved problems is not going to be of use to you.

4)    Many students try and find out short cuts of all problems. Well, to a certain extent short cuts can be used but you can not remember short cuts of every type of problem. Conceptually solving the problem will stick with you forever so it is important to know that.

5)    Students emphasize on speed and lose out on accuracy. At the end of the exam what counts is not the number of questions that you attempted but the number of questions that you got right. Hence you need to strike a fine balance between speed and accuracy which differs from individual to individual.

6)    Do not stick to a problem for a long time or get emotional with it. There are many problems to be solved in the exam and it is of no use wasting time on a single problem trying to solve it. Give it a shot, if it cant be solved in that much duration of time then it is time to move ahead.
