So far the course is interesting. Given that I am math major and never scored below 50q, I still managed to make. few mistakes in math homework. Math is definitely slow, but I just let the on-demand video run in background while I am doing PS or DS on GmatClub.

So far Quant Quant is unfortunately slow. I get some tips here and there (ie on choice driven questions start from the bottom). I think lectures are great for people who haven't done math in years. Verbal Haven't had a lecture yet, but pre-homework I did was great: 34 questions testing different aspects of SC. 20% of those questions were close to SC style. Looking forward to first Verbal class.

What is the best time to start taking the knewton classes ? I see that they either have their diagnostic score as the baseline score or the GMAT score (if you have one) and use that for the money back guarantee. I have not written my GMAT yet and I just started with the preparation. Should I start getting scores above 600 in the usual tests ( kaplan, princeton etc) and then sign up for the course so that my baseline score will be higher so that I can make use of the money back guarantee ? Please advise.

Hm... they just had a 50% off deal yesterday (the best I've ever seen), but there is still this deal going on until the 22 or 23: sign-up-with-knewton-get-gmat-club-tests-for-free-89032.html
