Best GMAT course for Verbal 1-to-1 Sessions

Hi freakygeek,

Thankfully, Business Schools don't care if you take the GMAT multiple times, so doing so is not a big deal. You've probably learned a great deal about Test Day itself (so you won't be surprised by anything) and you've come to discover that certain ways of training for the GMAT just don't work well with your personality. There are options to help you improve (beyond tutoring), but I'd like to know a bit more about your goals first:

1) What is your goal score?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT again?

3) On your previous GMAT attempts, did you have to rush through the Verbal section just to finish (and did you end up guessing on a bunch of questions)?

4) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
5) Do you know which Schools you want to apply to?

Hello Rich,

Firstly, thank you very much for taking time to reply. I appreciate your help. Yes, I have learnt a lot about the test day. But, I am still discovering my strengths and weaknesses when it comes to actual test. Here is the information you requested:

1) What is your goal score? - 680+
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT again? I am planning to take it in 2nd week of Sept 2015.

3) On your previous GMAT attempts, did you have to rush through the Verbal section just to finish (and did you end up guessing on a bunch of questions)? Yes. I did guess a bunch of questions.

4) When are you planning to apply to Business School? I am flexible but this fall would be best.
5) Do you know which Schools you want to apply to? Not decided yet. but my MBA focus would be tech. strategy so I will decide accordingly.

Hi freakygeek,

Given your timeframe, past GMAT scores, and score goal, you should certainly focus on building your Verbal skills. However, there is an opportunity to pick up some nice points in the Quant section too, so you should plan to spend some time building your tactical skills for that section of the Test.

With both of those goals in mind, I think that the EMPOWERgmat Total Score Booster would help you considerably. Most of our clients complete that Study Plan in well under 2 months, so the time commitment wouldn't be that bad. We have a variety of free resources on our site (www.empowergmat.com), so you can 'test out' the Course before setting up an account.

If you have any additional questions, then you can feel free to contact me directly.

Hi freakygeek

I would obviously recommend the CrackVerbal GMAT personal tutoring sessions because I'm part of the CrackVerbal team and I have seen the kind of dedication put in by our instructors and seen the improvement in the GMAT scores of the students.

Your low score in GMAT Verbal could be because you are facing issues with specific concepts on the GMAT or need guidance with advanced 650+ level questions.

Ideally, you should have at least two months to go before your next GMAT attempt when you come in for Personal Tutoring. However, a lot depends on the score difference you want to achieve, your learning speed and the specific problems you’re facing.
