Hmmmm.... Sounds too good to be true....
If I wanted to cheat them, I could take their classes, take a GMAT and perform poorly, get a below par score, get my refund of $945 and then take the GMAT again for $250.. I get the classes for free.. I dont think a professional company (especially one that has to coach reasoning ability) would leave open such a loop hole..
LOL, I would try that!

Hello, I'm not sure if this has been discussed in here, but I recently saw on the Economist website an advertisement for their prep program, GMAT Tutor.
After reviewing the options they have, this seems like the perfect program for someone who scored a fairly high score IE 670-720, but still wish to retake. Here is the link for a description of the plans they offer:
https://gmat.economist.com/plans Using my own experience, if I choose the Premium Prep option there is a 70 point score guarantee or a complete refund of the money spent on the course as well as the cost of the GMAT, another $250. So that would mean that I would need to score a 780 on my GMAT Exam or I get my money back and they'll pay for my GMAT Exam...um, this seems like a free way to get my retest paid for, does it not? It seems like a pretty sound investment, $695 up front for a $945 return 3 months from now (36% increase). The only downside would be if I actually scored a 780 or higher...how is that a downside again?
Has anyone used this program and had success when retaking the exam?
I d say for a guy who has already scored 710, some self review and introspection is the best way to go about it. I d take a
MGMAT CAT and see where I am making mistakes and work my way up. You seem to have a Q47, which leaves a definite 2 point improvement room in Quant which should not be a very big deal with the free quant resources we have on the website.
You already aced verbal once. So I am pretty sure with some practice you can ace it again (with a couple of more points may be?)
Think about it.
One of the mistakes that I made initially in my prep was to think that a course would be all I need for a stellar GMAT score. I could not be more wrong as the GMAT is designed to make you think. If you end up doing a lot of stuffs yourself, why pay somebody else?
