I found plenty of resources to help improve my weak areas. The faculty for the live sessions was excellent. I found the Kaplan methods and strategies very useful. Overall, it was a very good experience. Highly recommended!<br \/>\n<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Accepted: What was your favorite thing about the course? Least favorite thing?<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ram: <\/strong>My favorite part of the course were the live sessions, even though it was an online class, the faculty brought the class alive with their passion and excellent teaching methods. These were some of the best faculty I have come across. Also, I loved the flexibility of the course. Least favorite \u2013 While the course is well designed, It would have been nice to have a few sessions targeted for <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.accepted.com\/2011\/10\/13\/he-scored-700-on-the-gmat%E2%80%94and-he-retook-it\/\">700+ scores<\/a>.<br \/>\n<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Accepted: How much has your GMAT score increased on practice tests now that you've completed this course?<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ram: <\/strong>I saw an 80 point increase in my scores. I took the Kaplan diagnostic test about 5 weeks back, I got a 620. I took another practice test last week, I got a 700.<br \/>\n<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Accepted: That\u2019s amazing! With your higher score, have you thought about altering your list of target schools now that you have a better idea of how you might do on the GMAT?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ram: <\/strong>I don't think I would be altering my list of target schools.<\/p>\n<p><em>We will continue to follow Ram\u2019s journey to b-school with a follow up interview after he takes the GMAT.
