Hi Guys
I have just started preparing for GMAT and the good news is I feel that I am going at a very good pace in preparation and plan to take GMAT in 45 Days from Now. I am using "Cracking the GMAT-Priceton Review(2008)" and "OG11(GMAC)" for prep.
I am working with an IT company and I feel that I am not having much interaction with other students who are also preparing for GMAT, looks like I am the only one preparing in my surroundings. The only interaction I have is on Forums. I would seriously like to have your suggestions to join a GMAT Coaching Classroom Program(like Princeton Review) or should prepare on my own as the classroom may be sometimes an overhead as it consumes a lot of energy & time in travelling to classroom locations and so far preparing on my own has not brought me into any situation where I need any external help.
Also I have been offered two types of courses @ some program:
1. Regular Classroom Program(1 on 1 session) for 18hrs. This includes the computer aided learning and other study material.
2. Computer Aided learning: This is an interesting program where in I will be aving unlimited access to the institute's repository of test papersand online tools. this will also include the doubt clerance sessions with faculty but is more of a self learning program.
Suggest me guys, I would really value your suggestions on whther I should take up the classroom program and if yes the which one?
thanks in advance

Personally, I believe the courses are only helpful if you need a structured way of learning and cannot motivate yourself to study on your own. The courses really don't teach you anything earth-shattering other than how to take more practice tests and learn tricks that you can find in many books or even here on GMATClub.
So I strongly suggest you read some experiences here:
https://www.gmatclub.com/forum/t42771
and then decide on your own whether you want to take a class or not. I believe with enough interaction on this forum and the help of other GMAT takers, you should be able to swing it on your own.

This is something that puzzles me as well. I am a different case than you, since I have time to prepare. I work howevera and therefore, I do not have that much of free time but there is no pressure taking the test at the moment.
I have gone through the experiences of many GMATters here and I do beleive that you can learn on your own the vast majority of the stuff. Study and practice on your own. If, after your preparation, feel that there is no weak spot in the material, sit for the exam. If however, you feel like there are some "spots" and you want to work on them, I beleive that trying a "coach" is a good hint. Of course, you must search for it and see whether he/she will be able to focus on your particular weaknesses, the ones you feel you need improvement in order to ace the GMAT. For example, if you feel there is a problem in the CR of the verbal, the attendance of a class may prove to be beneficial. As long as the teacher will be able to focus on your particular need. Otherwise, it will make no sense.
There is no good or bad advice on your question. I think it has to do with what suits best for everyone. At least, this is my point of view.
