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!

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.

i took this course last summer and it was awesome. the instructor really knew his stuff. he was very comfortable in front of the class and answered any and all questions. there was literally not a single question that he was stumped on. he taught us how to systematically break down a question and answer it correctly. i was aiming for 700+ so i didnt want to be bored with the fundamentals but turns out those fundamentals really helped me build on more difficult questions. its kind of pricey but totally worth it since the books break down into very specific sections and in person office hours are the best.

I took the Full Course with Travis Morgan at the Santa Monica location Oct - Nov 2012 (6 weeks total).

Going into the class, I had no previous GMAT instructions, took one diagnostics test, and was a year out of college, and 2-3 years out of my last quant-heavy course. I needed help with quant.

So my course review will be divided into the following sections:
1. Quant
2. Verbal
3. Instructor

Quant - I needed a refresher on some basic math concepts like exponents and properties of integers. VP asks you to review these concepts prior to each quant class by going through their Skills-Builder section on your own. I thought it was a helpful review of things I have not thought about for a long time. The instructor then teaches some of those concepts through practice problems in class, but mostly, our time in class focused on thinking about the problems critically and learning how to do math without doing math. I thought the pace of the class was average.

Verbal - the most helpful part was the critical reasoning part where VP gives you a guideline how to tackle some specific question types. I was already scoring pretty high on verbal so the most important takeaway for me was just the techniques and shortcuts.

Instructor - Travis was great - energetic, knowledgeable, patient, and good at explaining the concepts. I would definitely try to take it with him if you can. BUT all VP instructors should be great because VP has a strict hiring policy.

I would definitely recommend VP!

I highly recommended Veritas Prep. I took the Kaplan course previously and it cannot even compare to the structure and the kind of material that Veritas offers. Their online portal is very helpful and offers videos, numerous practice exams, drills and quizzes for each subject.

If you decide to sign up, request Travis Morgan as your instructor. He's very enthusiastic about teaching the material and has a lot of helpful pointers. He also ensures you are understanding the matter as the class progresses.

The practice exams that Veritas offer are a lot harder than the GMAC ones, which could be a good thing in helping you prepare for the actual GMAT.

As a mature student applying for the GMAT for the first time, I found this course very good. The Veritas prep program has undergone major course changes in light of the new GMAT exam.

The instructor David was excellent. the course books had some mistakes but David was good enough to point them out. I found that he took the time to explain each section properly and in easy to understand language.

I very much enjoyed this course and would recommend it to any one with a very hectic schedule.Also for people who have been out of school for a long time.

I took the Veritas Prep course and I stongly suggest you do the same. I've always done well on standardized tests, but have never taken a test like the gmat which really focuses on logical reasoning and problem solving strategies. Veritas Prep provided a great platform for exactly that - it provides concise strategies for approaching the various problem types and allows you to quickly recognize the question type and the appropriate approach to solving the problem in a reasonable amount of time. This is instrumental to performing well on the GMAT.

My instructor, Travis Morgan, was great and kept the class engaged and on point. I performed well on the test and felt very comfortable given the resources made available to me through Veritas Prep. The practice tests were good though scores seemed on the low side (the official GMAC practice tests are always the best). The lessons were great. Veritas has a great team who is sincerely dedicated to the success of their students.

Great program! Thanks Veritas!

My experience with this course was excellent. I had taken the GMAT without any formal prep in Oct 2009 and didn't do as well as I had hoped. I learned some crucial tips and tricks in this course as well as how and what to study.

The day-to-day course hours may seem long but the instructor makes the time fly by. We always started and ended on time with the option of staying late to review extra questions. If you're looking to start from scratch or if you need a brief review of some trouble spots, I would highly recommend this course. It's well worth it!

The course goes over a lot of great tips to decode many of the GMAT tricks. It's also a great way to review everything that will be covered and give a well-rounded approach. The instructor David was great at keeping the class engaged. The problem is that with 3 hour lesson, probably about 2 hours is actual learning. With "dumb" questions from other students and random stories, I felt like time was wasted. Devoting 6 hours a week after work, plus all the homework and skillbuilder lessons was extremely time consuming. If an hour could have been cut out, it would have been great.

I found myself missing the regularly scheduled classes just so I could watch later and fast forward through the chatting and over-explaining. That being said, I would highly recommend my instructor. He was extremely knowledgeable and highly motivating.
