THE VISUAL LEARNER

Are you someone who thinks by drawing mental images, or doodling while taking notes when someone is speaking? Do you enjoy gathering information from maps, diagrams, graphs and charts? Most learners fall into this category - learning best by being highly observant.

1. The GMAT section, located on our homepage, is your place to acquire expertise on all the test’s sections by reading articles and watching videos. By clicking on the different tabs: quantitative, verbal, integrated reasoning and analytical writing assessment, you are shown content to help you prepare for that particular section. If you are in the initial stage of preparing for the GMAT, you should read some introductory articles. You can get to them from our homepage, and by clicking on the top menu on GMAT Preparation and choosing either: What is the GMAT Exam, or How to Prepare for the GMAT.

2. The tests section of our homepage includes helpful content on the GMAT, GRE, TOEFL and IELTS tests. When you click on one of these tests, you are taken to a library full of all the articles and videos on our site that will help you prepare for that specific test.
