Attention all GMAT students!
As you know, there’s a lot riding on your GMAT score. It will help determine which business school you get into and that can have a big effect on your future career.
You certainly don’t want to take chances with something so important. But will improving your vocabulary really help you score higher on your GMAT? Believe it or not, the answer is, “Yes! Of course!”
How Your Vocabulary Affects Your Score Throughout The GMAT
It may seem counter-intuitive – after all, you’ve probably heard that the GMAT doesn’t directly test vocabulary – but having a powerful vocabulary will help you score higher on two of the three major sections of the test. For example:
The Verbal Section: There are three types of questions in the verbal section: Reading Comprehension, Critical Reasoning, and Sentence Correction:
Reading Comprehension is really vocabulary comprehension. Over 100 years of research has proven that the more words you know, the faster you read and the more you comprehend. By learning the Vocabulary words most frequently tested on the GMAT, you will be able to race through this section, answering more questions correctly.
Critical Reasoning tests your ability to understand, evaluate and construct an argument. In order to understand and properly evaluate the arguments presented,you must understand all of the harder vocabulary words used in creating the test.
Sentence Correction tests your skills at “effective expression.” In evaluating the diction of a sentence, you must be able to recognize whether the words are well chosen, accurate, and suitable for the context – in other words, whether words are being used correctly. And the only way to know that is to know what the words themselves mean.
The Analytical Writing Section According to MBA.com, “The Analytical Writing Assessment (AWA) of the Graduate Management Admission Test is designed as a direct measure of your ability to think critically and to communicate your ideas.”
You see, it’s one thing to be able to pick out the correct words from a multiple-choice list. But writing your own essays is another matter. You need to have a wide range of words at your disposal – and know exactly how to use them – in order to master this section of the test.
There’s just no getting around it – if you want a high score on the GMAT, you’re going to have to work on your vocabulary skills. But don’t break out your dictionary just yet.
