For many, the GMAT journey is as much about concepts and skills as it is about emotions. People go through a lot of emotional turmoil – stress, anxiety, self-doubt, hopelessness, depression, panic attacks – as they try to ace this test that many others claim to ace very easily.

Rather, dealing with these emotional issues is a much bigger task for many than addressing the conceptual issues. I have been talking a lot about these issues – why they arise and what can be done to address them – with my private tutoring students.

One student suggested that I invite everybody to share their emotional struggles and have a video meeting or a webinar in which I share my perspective on how to handle these struggles.
