(The old adage among teachers: &#8220;The best way to learn something is to teach it.&#8221;)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What &#8220;I Understand&#8221; Means<\/h2>\n<p>Someone at Level Zero really can&#8217;t legitimately say, &#8220;I understand,&#8221; and saying that is a stretch for someone at Level 1.\u00a0 At Level 2 or above, someone can reasonably say, &#8220;I understand.&#8221;\u00a0 That, though, can be a problem.\u00a0 Someone at Level 3 can say, &#8220;I understand X&#8221; \u2014 indeed, they have made enormous strides beyond Levels 1 &amp; 2 \u2014 but in the mixed-problem format of a practice test, where the test-taker is faced with one problem type after another and has to handle each one cold, then Level 3 is not going to be sufficient.\u00a0 Sometimes, this is exactly what happens when folks say: &#8220;I understood X, but then I couldn&#8217;t do it on the test.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>To get a sense of the level of understanding required on the GMAT, take the <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/gmat\/gmat-diagnostic-test\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Magoosh GMAT Diagnostic Test<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Reach For the Stars<\/h2>\n<p>There&#8217;s a saying: if you reach for the stars, you may get as far as the ceiling, but if you reach for the ceiling you will never get off the floor.\u00a0 On test day, you will need to be at Level 4.\u00a0 One of the best ways to guarantee that you&#8217;ll get there is to reach for Level 5 and Level 6 in practice.<\/p>\n<p>Some suggestions for how to do that: (1) do\u00a0more mixed-concept\u00a0review and less single-concept review (see <a title=\"GMAT Study Approaches: Systematic vs. Random\" href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/gmat\/gmat-study-approaches-systematic-vs-random\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this post<\/a> for more on that issue); (2) practice not only solving the problems, but writing out the steps of strategy for solving them; (3) practice with others \u2014 that is, put yourself in a situation in which you have to explain your thought process to others; (4) if you are stronger in one particular area, do some informal tutoring, where you have to answer someone else&#8217;s questions.
