Should I study GMAT on my own or join classes?

Hi sreeste,

If you are motivated to get a great GMAT score and prefer the flexibility to create your own study schedule, you may consider taking an online self-study course.

First, a self-study course provides greater flexibility than a class. Rather than adhering to a preset class schedule, you can build a study schedule customized to fit your needs. When learning about topics, you can speed up and slow down as necessary. If you understand a particular topic, you can breeze through it; however, if you do not grasp a concept, you can drill that concept as long as you need, before moving to the next one.

Additionally, self-study courses typically provide detailed study plans and have granular analytics, so you can easily track your progress as you move through the course. By being able to track your progress, you will remain more engaged, and you’ll be able to more accurately forecast when you are ready to take your real GMAT.

Have you taken any practice tests to get a score breakdown? If not, you should take one of the free mba.com exam.

If you do not know which GMAT study resource to use, you can check out the course reviews on GMAT Club, which has thousands of verified reviews of different GMAT prep resources. Most courses also offer a free or low-cost trial, so you may consider trying a few out before making a decision.

Lastly, to help diagnose your GMAT quant strengths and weaknesses, I welcome you to take my free 37-question quant diagnostic. After completing the diagnostic, you’ll be provided with a detailed analysis of your proficiency level on all GMAT quant topics as well as an opportunity to discuss your diagnostic results with me or another TTP instructor/coach.

Feel free to reach out with any further questions.
