Excellent choice for for someone 2 -3 months away from exam time. I felt that the course brought together some great elements, here are the highlights:

1. Loved that the course was held in an office building in the financial district after hours. It was really convenient to go from work to class twice a week. I only missed one class (and you can have the option to make it up online or by attending another instructor's class) which is largely due to the location - no excuses

2. Great set of prep books - there are 12 in all and you bring one for each class. Nice system, and there are tons of practice questions by topic in each book. I thought that the skill builder and lesson sections were written pretty well too - easy to follow for individual study

3. Great instructor. Matt was particularly effective at teaching the math sections. I have much more confidence in algebra, geometry, and statistics questions than before the course. Would recommend Matt without reservation to anyone - he is truly and expert on the subject matter as well as a really effective teacher and approachable guy.

The Veritasprep course was helpful in terms of learning strategies. For gmat, it's more about skills than knowledge. Therefore, one needs to learn the strategy. That being said, I recommend students to purchase On Demand course instead of live online course. It's cheaper and more productive. The on demand instructor does a good job of explaining the material. But it's about your biology. If you think you don't have enough discipline or can't study effectively without an instructor, go ahead and purchase online course.

The customer service is also great. By the way, I still haven't taken the exam because I'm undecided about timing. But I do recommend taking a prep course to any student unless you're really good with math and strategy exams.

I have taken the GMAT before and didn't really think a course would help me learn anything new. Was I wrong! Veritas Prep has so many resources to use. I took the online class with Jen Begasse and she was great!

All Veritas Prep instructors are in the 99%, so you know you are learning from the best. Get stuck on a homework problem? Veritas has a homework help session EVERY day. Want to practice the GMAT? Veritas has 10 practice tests. Yes, 10! Rather do your homework online than in the books? Veritas has every problem online with solution so you can do your homework anytime, anywhere.

I cannot say enough about how awesome this program is. Yes, GMAT courses can be expensive, but if you want to make the big bucks later, you need to invest in yourself now. So go and crush that GMAT! Veritas is ready to help.

Veritas Prep classes have been very influential in increasing not only my GMAT score but my confidence approaching the test itself. I took at least 4 practice exams after having studied on my own for several weeks and even took another competitor's class before turning to Veritas.

The choice was easy after that. 2 weeks after starting at Veritas I improved my score by 40 points, and by the end of the class had improved it by 90 points, and if I can combine the best Quant and Verbal I've had in the same sitting I'll have shown a 160 point jump!

A lot of this goes to my instructor's help, guidance and patience along the wall. Bill is crazy brilliant and approachable all the same, relating to the class and myself very easily and making the course fly by.

The staff is also very accommodating and professional. If you're studying for the GMAT, Veritas is Highly Recommended!

I took the online/on-demand course from Veritas Prep and was generally pleased with the entire experience. The website was clean and easy to navigate, the materials were comprehensive and the instructor was really good to work with.

My concerns are that there were a handful of mistakes in the books that are distracting, there was some technical difficulty during one of the sessions and there was not much material on the new Integrated Reasoning section.

The nicest part of the prep course was that Veritas overnighted me the materials (books and headset/microphone) to ensure that I was ready for class. I would recommend Veritas to anyone, especially those that don’t live in major metropolitan areas.

Taking a Veritas Prep GMAT course with Eric Maltzer is the best thing you can possibly do to fully prepare for the GMAT and achieve your highest possible score.

Veritas is the real deal when it comes to GMAT test prep. I was extremely impressed with the resources available to me. The books, problem sets and online lessons are all very useful tools, as are the 15 realistic practice CAT exams that are available.

If you are looking for a knowledgeable, energetic, hilarious and caring teacher, Eric is your man. You will learn more about the GMAT exam and the test taking experience from Eric than from any book or website. The lessons and strategies that Eric teaches get results. You can tell Eric truly cares about each one of his students - he took the time both before and after each class to answer questions, meet with students, and coach us every step of the way. He did not have to spend so much time outside of class with us, but the fact that he did really proved how much he wanted us to succeed.

If you are looking for magic tricks and cheap guessing strategies, then Veritas is not for you. If you really want to understand the ins and outs of the exam, and how to answer every possible question that the GMAT can throw at you, then sign up for a Veritas Prep course and, if you can, request Eric Maltzer as your teacher. You will not be disappointed.

Good Luck!

Veritas has a way of presenting the material that makes the classes easy to digest. The class was small enough that any question that I had could be addressed completely. Bill was a really smart guy and was able to present the material in a way that made it easy to understand.

I would recommend taking the full length course if you would like to improve your score! Before the Veritas course I was struggling with the verbal section of the GMAT but I was able to get insight into where I was making mistakes and correct them by the time I sat for the test.

I haven't taken the GMAT, and this will be my first time taking it, so I will come back and let you know how I did ;) However, I am thoroughly pleased with the class. It's intense - very fast paced - but that made it even more important to stay caught up, thus forcing you to study more and harder.

I took this class in Santa Monica, and it was M/W nights for 6 weeks. My instructor was Travis Morgan and he was simply amazing! 3 hours of class directly after a full work day is a tough time frame for me to productive, but Travis made it easy to be engaged. He taught each concept very thoroughly, took the time to go through any questions and made sure we all understood and was always available by email or otherwise to help out further with any skillbuilder/homework questions. He was hilarious and entertaining, which helped out quite a bit.
There were a number of classes in the area available within similar timeframes, and you were more than welcome to jump around as needed. Also available is a number of online resources, including online lectures in case you missed any - which I needed to use a few times.

It was an extremely helpful class, and I recommend the Veritas Prep Course, and more specifically Travis, to anyone who might be interested.

I plan on taking the GMAT by the end of January, so I will report back on my improvement from the pre-class practice test!

The instructor was quietly passionate about the material, which made the course engaging through twelve 3-hour sessions. He taught with slides that were well designed and executed. He covered all of the course material and provided useful summary handouts. He knew the material well, sometimes providing alternative solutions to problems.

The curriculum is comprehensive and the study materials (12 course books) are well organized. The books consist of a Skillbuilder to do prior to class, a Lesson section that the instructor more-or-less follows in class, and then homework problems. The problems in the lesson section seemed to be higher than a 75th percentile level of difficulty and were carefully chosen to get a concept across. The homework problems are typically organized, like the GMAC Official Guide, from easier to harder. There are a good number of difficult problems to work on. Homework problems can be done online, in which case the time spent on each problem is tracked. As long as the course is, I don't feel that any time was wasted going through the course materials.

Veritas' online on-demand lesson videos are okay, although not as engaging as those taken in person. VP's practice CATs seemed to me to be about as difficult as the real GMAT. I would not agree with those who suggest that VP's CATs are more difficult, although one section or another would seem easier or harder, so it's important to take several practice CATs (or at least some of the sections).

Overall, Veritas Prep gives you everything you could need outside of your own dedication to expend the effort needed to score well on the GMAT. The course gives you many opportunities to think hard about the nature of your weaknesses and therefore how to strengthen them. The instructor and the curriculum drives home the crucial message not to mistake activity for achievement (although a lot of activity is involved!). I don't' think I could have achieved my score without the help of the Veritas Prep course.

I would strongly recommend the Veritas prep course to anyone considering a prep program. The course is comprehensive and provides you plenty of resources and materials to set you up for success. The classroom environment is perfect to better understand the concepts, and the online quizzes and practice tests provide you with so much preparation before the actually exam.

My only suggestion is that you have to be willing to put in the time outside the classroom as well as in the classroom to really receive the full benefit of the course. However, if you do this, there is no doubt you will be successful.
