The GMAT Club blog is not just a random set of GMAT-related articles.  The blog really intends to help those who want to score high at GMAT to get into business school.  A proof of this is its user-friendliness.  The articles are divided into categories.  Instead of going with the diary-style monthly divisions, the GMAT Club blog makes use of a different set of links.  It even has a “How to Use” inside link.  This link directs the visitor to a clean page, which basically makes him or her choose his or her interest in the site.  Here, the site’s resources branch out into three categories: GMAT takers, business school enrolees, and contributors.

The blog does show that what you learn at business school should be implemented.  In fact, its entrepreneurial side reveals itself through the GMAT sample tests that are available for a fee.  The GMAT Club also provides free tests, reviews, and other resources.

A few suggestions

Much have been said about the plentiful resources of the GMAT Club blog.  It even has a GMAT score estimator.  The comments that arise are generally positive.  A possible improvement, however, could be selling its own recommended and reviewed books so that payment for the premium GMAT tests and the books can be done at one go.

What makes F1 GMAT different from other GMAT sites or blogs?

The blog site features not only articles that prepare you for GMAT but also features articles on the MBA culture.  These articles can be found under the “Interesting Reads” section.  There are also links to tips, tutorials, and techniques.  The blog actually shares specific techniques such as fast multiplication.  The writers of the site  take the different aspects of GMAT preparation in consideration.  The MBA culture articles get future GMAT examinees a taste of their future in MBA schools and beyond.  If the culture presented is not that appetizing, there is a chance to back down.

The blog is really very resourceful.  It includes business trends that provide insights to upcoming and current students who dream of having their own enterprise one day. F1 GMAT is actually a whole dream in a package.  The dream is made more tangible by all the technical help provided.  It has a directory of outside resources, articles, tutorials, and the like. Having all of them in one page of the F1 GMAT blog saves time for a GMAT reviewer.  It is a whole library of GMAT resources.

Are there things to improve on?

While there are tons of helpful links within the F1 GMAT, getting to those links when you are an actual reviewer is more challenging.  You can always go through everything if you want to take advantage of every bit of information.  However, if you are in a rush and need just one thing, you may have a hard time looking for that topic or resource.  The entries are all over the page.  There may be a section on popular content and interesting reads, but you have no idea if they are all that the site has when it comes to articles.  Other sections point to videos and outside links, instead of articles. Better categorizing is recommended to the site with probably, a user’s manual for serious visitors.
