It will take a number of attempts to understand the format of the GMAT, and the questions they are asking, and what they are asking for.

Essentially, what it is trying to do is to break your existing habits of logic, reasoning, and personal behaviours that we have grown accustomed to in order to be quick, out-of-the-box thinkers, all while being on point, and correct (lol) or rather, being confident on our answers. If anything, what you'll experience throughout the GMAT is perhaps even an elevated self of confidence in tackling problems, and you will definitely experience this throughout your MBA program. This might sound like a joke, but lady leading my Manhattan program said at the beginning of the first session that she's going to turn us into MacGyvers. She was right.

People are wired differently in many ways, so this is where I found going through Manhattan helped a lot in providing the guidance I needed to get a better grasp at the problems, to provide the coaching/feedback required to attack questions or problems I struggled with.
