Episode 39: 5 Key GMAT Tips As You Approach Test Day
Before taking on the dreaded GMAT, what are the most important tips you’ll need to remember?
One of the world’s few owners of both a 99th percentile GMAT score and an NBA championship ring, Brian Galvin, Veritas Prep’s Director of Academic Programs, would gladly help Charles Barkley (but not Karl Malone) achieve either. Since earning a Master’s in Education from the University of Michigan, Brian has made the GMAT his full-time course of study since 2006. In addition to his amateur stand-up comedy career and status as a certified Ironman, Brian might very well be one of the foremost GMAT experts in the world.
Whether or not you have already spent countless time and money on GMAT prep, our talk with Brian is a must-listen before you take the test.
