What Is Speed Math?
Speed Math is the ability to perform mathematical calculations quickly and accurately, a crucial skill for competitive exams like the GMAT exam, where time is a key factor. The Quantitative Reasoning of the GMAT tests both mathematical understanding and problem-solving speed. Speed Math can reduce the need for calculators and help candidates manage their time more effectively, leading to improved accuracy and higher scores.
Why Speed Math?
Time Management
The ability to solve math problems faster offers a significant advantage when dealing with a vast number of questions in limited time.
Improved Accuracy
Speed Math isn’t just about speed; accuracy is just as important. Speed Math techniques ensure you reach the correct answer while saving time.
Better Focus
By saving time on simpler calculations, you can devote more attention to complex, time-consuming problems that require deeper thought and analysis.
How can I improve Speed Math for GMAT?
Improving Speed Math for GMAT requires consistent effort and a structured strategy. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help develop these skills:
Daily Practice
Dedicate 30 minutes daily to practicing Speed Math questions using GMAT-specific resources. Regular practice will help you become used to the exam format and increase your calculation speed.
Focus on Accuracy First
Initially, aim for accuracy rather than speed. As your confidence and precision improve, it will automatically increase your speed.
Timed Tests
Once you’re comfortable with Speed Math concepts, start taking timed tests. Gradually reduce the time allotted for each question to be familiar with real exam pressure and also to improve your speed.
Mock Tests
Full-length GMAT mock tests are essential. They provide a real-time exam experience, allowing you to apply Speed Math skills under pressure and refine your time management.
Revise Regularly
Consistent practice and regularity are important for Speed Math. Frequent practice makes the techniques more automatic, and helps identify weak areas for improvement.
