Familiarize yourself with the group discussion topics by consulting with current or former MBA students and professors who can provide you with an idea of what to expect, the structure of the questions and the way in which the sessions are conducted.

Post questions and read through the forums to gather important information about group discussions that others have posted and that you can apply to your group discussion preparation.
