Well, it is sure that you will get a search result page full of different links when you "Google" on how to beat or crack an MBA exam. Not surprisingly, it is logical as MBA is a degree which can make a graduate shine apart in the global market. Cracking it, contrary to the popular belief and faith, can be far less difficult than you would have imagined.

All it asks for is your aptitude towards management and love for organisation. Talking at a more ground level, it needs you to be quick (time management), accurate (efficiency), logically reasonable and with a good command over interactive language. Thereby the exam seeks to find how much you have to make a good Manager out of you. The only thing which keeps it tough, or at least make it ‘look’ tough, is Competition. Competition is a factor which you anyway cannot ignore as it is this factor which you will have to manage the most!

Cracking an MBA test is a mini-management exercise itself. Here, you have to manage yourself, your social lives, and your studies.

Though everyone can provide you with tips on how to crack an MBA exam, it is you who has to take an initiative.

Although, some good practises include, but are limited to:

• Checking out previous years’ question papers (if available) and analyzing them to find out the pattern of the questions.

• Managing (yes! Here it comes) your time, so you have ample time for your social network along with regular (that’s the key word) studies.

• Self Study is important.

• Stress management is priority. You should be able to decide how much you can take and deliver. Also, you should be able to work under pressure without letting stress take you out.

Besides these, an open, alert mind is needed during the exam. For that it is advisable to take up ample amount of sleep especially on the night before the exam.
