hii....I am planning to take gmat exam in 3 months. This is my second attempt and I got a low score of 540 in my first attempt. I am feeling lost. I didn't take coaching the last time but this time I am thinking to take coaching from crackisb and please let me know if this coaching will help me to get a score above 700 as I am not interested in online coaching and want to take classroom training. currently, I am doing a job and planning to attend classes on weekends.

kindly please let me know the other best coachings even..

thank you

Hi Sowmya, I am not from any coaching centre. But before you make a decision to join a coaching centre, can I know in what aspect of your GMAT preparation you struggle?
What are your strength and weaknesses?

Cheers

Hi SowmyaReddy,

Before you invest in any new resources, it would help to know a bit more about your prior studies and goals:

1) How long did you study for your first attempt at the GMAT?
2) What materials did you use?
3) What were the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores when you scored 540?

4) When are you planning to apply to Business School?

When it comes to studying for the GMAT, there are a variety of different options beyond a classroom course (and those options tend to be a lot more flexible). Most GMAT Companies offer some type of free materials (practice problems, Trial Accounts, videos, etc.) that you can use to 'test out' a product before you buy it. We have a variety of those resources at our website (www.empowergmat.com). I suggest that you take advantage of all of them then choose the one that best matches your personality, timeline and budget.

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Hi SowmyaReddy,

Seems like you have already made up your mind to take the class room sessions. However do keep in mind that the classroom sessions are the most expensive ones. Also, speaking in general, the institute may have a good brand name, but make sure that you do attend a class at the centre where you want to enrol. The teachers might be different at different centres.

Apart from the classroom sessions, there are other mediums of study too:

You can do so by choosing one of the following ways:

1. In person classes/private tutoring
2. Online classes
3. Self paced online preparatory course
4. Book heavy approach

Whatever you choose, make sure that you choose one. Because GMAT tests you on some concepts and fundamentals that you can learn from a course. Most of the preparatory companies including ours offer a free trial of our course. You can take the trial and see if the course suits your needs.

In addition to the preparatory material, buy the Official Guides(both the Official Guide and the Verbal Review), Question Pack 1 and the 4 official mock CATs. They should be an indispensable part of your preparation.

You need close to 3 months to prepare well for the GMAT.

1. Understand the concepts and fundamentals before jumping into problem solving
2. Solve full length CATs including AWA and IR. You can get two free GMAT Prep mock CATs and can purchase two more from mba.com
3. Make sure you solve the official questions from the Official Guide
