That’s why I was happy to work with Helen Xia when she joined the School Champions team. Helen expressed a strong interest in forming a study group—she wanted to find a group of GMAT enthusiasts who would meet regularly to prep for the test. I instantly loved the idea, so we started working on making it happen. Helen’s vision came to life when we launched the GMAT Avengers series on October 5, 2013. GMAT Avengers is not only a series of events, it’s also a way for students to learn to think through questions without the help of a tutor, a way for them to develop their own strategy and approach when it comes to beating the GMAT. The practice problems—varying from basic, to really difficult challenge questions—enable participants to be well prepared on test day and to eventually obtain a 700+ score. Since our first live session, GMAT Avengers has grown in audience, reaching more than 100 participants every week. It’s due to Helen’s commitment and dedication that this has become one of the most beautiful Beat The GMAT success stories. After a deep dive into each section of the GMAT exam, we felt that GMAT Avengers had reached the end of its first chapter. That’s when I approached Helen and suggested putting together an e-book containing all the great content shared during the Facebook events. A few months have passed and we are finally ready to share this e-book with you, our amazing community. Please note that this is not a book per se. It is more a collection of transcripts, tips, strategies, recommended readings, best practices, and challenge problems that should help you beat the GMAT. In addition to the main sections, we also included three Q&As in which reputed GMAT experts from Veritas Prep, Manhattan GMAT, and Economist GMAT Tutor have answered your questions on how to study for the exam. The completion of this e-book does not mark the end of the GMAT Avengers initiative. As part of the second phase of the project, we invite you to join us every Saturday at noon (EST/EDT) on Facebook as we tackle specific question types. Sorin Istrate Beat The GMAT Community Manager 4 ABOUT THE AUTHOR Hello, my name is Helen Xia. I am one of the Beat The GMAT MBA Watch School Champions for the 2013-2014 application cycle, and my goal is to help you with the entire GMAT preparation and B-school application process. To give you a little bit of my background, I was born and raised in Mainland China until I was 10 years old. In 2002, my parents and I moved to Cambodia, where I lived until I came to America in 2009. At the age of 18, I traveled halfway across the world on my own to pursue my college education. My four years at Campbell University went by in the blink of an eye. I feel like I’ve accomplished so much yet so little. I started out in the professional golf management program and completed a total of 16 months of internships around the United States before I changed my major … during my last semester of college. You might think I’m crazy but I managed to finish with two majors, marketing and business administration, and only six credit hours away from my golf management degree. I just want to say that if you put your mind to something, you will get there! College wasn’t exactly what I had expected. To be honest, I am a little disappointed. I thought I was going to learn so much more; but that’s what grad schools are for, right? In 2012, I started researching business schools and uploads/Management/ gmat-avengers-guide.pdf
