Though I've rarely seen the GMAT test students on the usage of 'shall' and 'will', on the off-chance that they do decide to do so, remember the following basic rule:
Rule: Use 'shall' when speaking in the first person and 'will' when speaking in the second or third person.
In case you've forgotten your 'persons', here's a ready reckoner:
First Person - I
Second Person - You
Third Person - He, She, etc.
So,
I shall win the championship BUT You/We will win the championship.
