GMAT SYLLABI

The syllabi on the following pages list the math and verbal assignments for each class. Your homework assignments depend on your current math and verbal scores. Be sure to read How to Use These Syllabi before doing your first assignment. Your teacher can answer any questions that you might have about which assignment to complete.

Types of Assignments

Prework: Each week you’ll have a pre-class assignment from the Quantitative and Verbal Review Manuals. These readings and drills prepare you for the upcoming lesson, so it’s very important that you complete them before each class. Answers and explanations are provided at the end of each chapter

In Class Manual Homework: These sections provide additional practice with the topics covered in the lesson. Answers and explanations are provided at the end of each chapter.

Official Guide Homework: Practice what you’ve learned by working real GMAT problems. The first section is a diagnostic test, and the rest of the guide is divided into sections by question type.

Special Note about Integrated Reasoning Questions: The Official Guide includes access to a

companion website with 50 Integrated Reasoning questions. You'll need to register with the

How to Use These Syllabi

For each class, there are 3 versions of the math syllabus and 3 versions of the verbal syllabus. You should complete the math version that corresponds to your current math score from your most recent practice test. You should complete the verbal version that corresponds to your current verbal score from your most recent practice test.

While it might be tempting to do homework based on the score you’d like to get, it’s better to use your current score. Results typically come in stages so you’ll want to use homework to build your skills. As your score improves, the syllabus will direct you to questions that will help you to make further improvements.

For each version of the syllabus, the homework is divided into two sections: Essentials and Supplemental. This division of the homework will help you to prioritize your study time. Typically, you’ll want to complete the entire assignment before your next class. If you’re facing a rough week, however, and have limited study time, do the Essentials. But remember— doing the entire assignment will result in a better score improvement .

Here’s what you’ll find in each section:

Essentials This part of the assignment represents the minimum that you need to do to get ready for your next class and to review what you learned in your previous class. If you do the Essentials, you won’t fall behind. The Essentials will always include the Prework assignment, the In Class Manual homework and some problems from the Official Guide for each topic that was covered in your last class. Getting the Essentials done is your first priority when you do your homework.

Supplementary Want more? The supplementary part of the assignment helps you to further refine your understanding of GMAT problems. In this section, you’ll find additional problems from the Official Guide as well as additional online drills. While the problems assigned in the Essentials section test material that you just covered in your previous class, Supplementary problems test material from previous lessons. Doing problems that test material from previous lessons will help you to refine and master skills from those lessons.

Integrated Reasoning assignments are not broken down by score level. Integrated Reasoning homework assignments start with lesson three of the course.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which version should I use if I haven’t taken a practice test?

First off, take a practice test! Taking practice tests allows you to track your improvements and your weaknesses. You can’t address your weakness if you don’t know what they are. However, if you haven’t taken a practice test, you should assume that your math score is between 35 and 42 and that your verbal score is between 28 and 34 unless you have good reason to believe your score is higher or lower. Good reasons include things such as your typical performance on other standardized tests and past GMAT results.

What if one of my later scores is lower than one of my earlier scores?

First off, be sure to talk to your instructor so that the two of you can figure out what happened. As for the syllabus, you can continue to use the syllabus that goes with the higher score. Remember that a few hard problems early in the test could have been the reason for the lower score.

What if I think my first practice tests results may be too low?

There could be reasons why your first practice test results are too low. For example, if you were sick when you took your first test, your results might have been affected. Other factors that could cause a low score include interruptions during your test and noisy testing environments. However, the practice tests are generally reliable indicators of your score. So, you typically want to use the syllabus that goes with your current score.

What if I’m still not sure?

Consult your instructor – that’s why we’ve staffed your class with a thoroughly trained, knowledgeable expert.

How to Make the Most of Your Study Time

Do a little each day. It’s better to do a little homework each day than a lot of homework

on one day! If you try to do all of your homework on your day off, at some point, you’ll

probably find yourself doing the problems just to get them done. You want to learn

something from the questions. Plus, if you don’t start your homework until a few days

after your class, you may find that you’ve forgotten some of the approaches that you

learned in class. If you do a little bit of homework each day, you’ll find it easier to master

the skills tested on the GMAT. And, you won’t spend your whole day off doing GMAT

questions!

If you start to zone out, take a break. When you start to find yourself focusing more on

just getting the answer than how to get to the answer, it’s time to take a break. To

improve your GMAT score, you need to identify and fix your weaknesses. You can’t do

that effectively if you’re not paying attention to how you approach the question.

Practice the techniques. The methods that you learn in class have helped tens of

thousands of GMAT students improve their scores. Some of them will seem strange at

first. And, in many cases, they may seem more time consuming. That’s normal. As you

get more comfortable with the techniques, you’ll find that both your accuracy and your

speed will increase.

Learn to guess. All of your practice questions include explanations. It may be tempting to

look at the explanation as soon as you get stuck. However, when you take the real

GMAT, you won’t be able to glance at an explanation for a hint. So, before you look at the

explanation, practice your elimination skills. If you can’t find the right answer, look for

wrong answers to eliminate. Your teacher will help you to learn how to identify wrong

answers for each type of question. Once you’ve eliminated some answers and made a

guess, then it’s time to look at the explanation. Most test takers need to guess a few times

when they take the GMAT. Learning how to guess effectively can give a real boost to

your score.

Use the Office Hours. Your course includes 30 hours of online office hours each week. If

you have questions as you are doing your homework, all you need to do is go to the

online classroom and a Princeton Review GMAT expert will answer your questions.

Making use of the office hours is great way to ensure that you are solving problems in

the way most likely to increase your GMAT score. Information about when the classroom

is staffed is available in this student portal. If the classroom isn't staffed when you are

doing your homework, make sure that you keep a list of the questions that gave you

trouble so that you can make use of the online office hours when the classroom is staffed.

Practice Test Schedule At A Glance

It's important to take practice tests as you progress through your course. Your student portal includes access to 10 full length practice tests. These tests work as much like the real GMAT exam as possible.

We ask that you take 7 tests during your course. These tests are found in the Core Tests folder. If you wish to take the other 3 tests, you can find those in the Supplemental Tests folder.

To get the most out of your practice tests, you should act as though you were taking the real GMAT.

Here are some tips for making your practice test experience as much like taking the real GMAT as possible.

Take the test when you are well rested. For your real GMAT, you'll likely have gotten a good night's sleep. If you take your practice test after a long day at work, it's likely that your score will be affected.

Take the test in a quiet place. While it may be tempting to take you lap top to the nearest coffee shop so that there's plenty of snacks around when you are taking your test, you'll likely also be distracted by the noisy environment. So, take your test in a quiet location. If you are testing at home, turn off your cell phone and don't open your email, turn Skype off and log off of Facebook! And, as for the snacks, well, you aren't allowed to bring those into the testing room at the real exam anyway.

Take the test all at once. While you can suspend the practice test and resume it later, we don't recommend doing so. After all, you can't suspend the real GMAT and come back to it the following day. Whenever possible, take the test in one sitting.

Practice your pacing. The pacing charts for the Quantitative and Verbal sections are in the Core Tests and Supplemental Tests folder. It's a good idea to review this chart before every practice test. Check your pacing periodically as you take your test. A good rule of thumb is to check your pacing every 5 to 10 questions. If you are a minute under or over where you should be, that's not a big deal. If you are substantially over or under time, however, you need to adjust your pacing!

Integrated Reasoning Scoring

The Integrated Reasoning section is scored from 1 to 8 in 1 point increments.

GMAC has yet to release comprehensive information about how the Integrated Reasoning score is calculated.

Here's what we do know:

Scoring is all or nothing for Integrated Reasoning items. For example, a Table Analysis item has three subquestions. You need to answer each of these subquestions correctly to get any credit for the entire item.

The Integrated Reasoning section includes experimental items. GMAC has not released how many of the items are experimental.

The Integrated Reasoning score is calculated in two steps. First, the number of items that you get correct is your raw score. Experimental questions are disregarded when calculating the raw score. Second, an equating process is used to adjust for minor differences in the overall difficulty of each section. Then, the raw score is converted to the scaled (1 to 8) score.

The Integrated Reasoning section on your practice test is currently not reporting a scaled (1 to 8) score. Rather, you will see a tally based on your total correct responses. Since most Integrated Reasoning item types include 2 or 3 sub-questions, this tally is typically reported on roughly 30 possible responses.

When you look at your score report for Integrated Reasoning, you'll want to remember that you need to get every part of an item right in order to receive credit on the actual GMAT. So, if you consistently miss one part of each item, your actual Integrated Reasoning score could be relatively lower than your question tally might indicate. Remember to ask you teacher if you need clarification in interpreting your scores.

As we learn more about the way that the Integrated Reasoning section is scored, we'll convert our scoring system to that used by the GMAT for the Integrated Reasoning section. Your Quantitative and Verbal sections are already scored using the same fundamental adaptive algorithms as the GMAT.

Good luck on your GMAT practice exam!

AFTER CLASS NINE Before taking your actual GMAT, here are some things to do:

Draw up a study plan to make effective use of any time between the end of your course

and your test date.


Finish any questions from the Official Guide that you were assigned but did not

complete.

Finish any online drills that you were assigned but did not complete.

Take GMAC Test 1 or 2 or both. Go mba.com to find this GMAT Prep test.

Try to identify your two biggest math weaknesses and address those by doing practice

questions from the Official Guide or the online drills. Don’t try to fix remaining

weaknesses all at once. Fix problems a couple at a time to add some further points to

your score.

Try to identify your two biggest verbal weaknesses and address those by doing practice

questions from the Official Guide or the online drills. Don’t try to fix remaining

weaknesses all at once. Fix problems a couple at a time to add some further points to

your score.

Let us know how you did!

Good luck and thanks for preparing with The Princeton Review!
