  1. Officially, the GMAT measures skills in the fields of English, Mathematics, and analytical writing. Actually, the GMAT tests some basic English and math skills, but what it mostly tests is how well you use specific techniques and strategies for best performance on the GMAT.

  2. Many coaching classes about GMAT are available at various places. They claim to give better lessons about how to clear the GMAT examinations. Even they also pleased to give the books & material to the new learners. I hope you'll be doing something different at your training school.
