GMAT coaching classes in Bangalore

Question

Hi,

I have 5 years of work experience and I am looking to take the GMAT in July 2015. I plan to start my prep in the first week of March and will be pursuing my GMAT prep along with work. This will my first attempt and I am aiming for a 750. I am yet to start with my prep though. Need some help to choose a good GMAT coaching class in Bangalore that will help me prepare along with work. Any suggestions? I am getting back to studies after a long time, and so I am looking for a place that will help me brush up my Quant basics and provide some additional help.

Hi Nasus,

You mention how you're interested in a class, but does your work schedule allow you to attend a class on a consistent basis? I ask because most Test Takers need 3 months (or more) of consistent study time to hit their "peak" scores. If your work does not allow you to have the consistent study time necessary to attend class and do all of the required practice, then you might need something OTHER than a fixed set of classes.

You might consider looking into a guided Self-Study Course which will allow you the flexibility to study when it's convenient for YOU.

In Bangalore, it has to be EducationAisle! I finished my classes sometime back here and though I am yet to appear in the exam, their classes have done me a world of good.

Actually I had been just "thinking" (and deferring) my prep for a long time and so, had a good amount of time to "research" the GMAT coaching scene of Bangalore, before choosing EducationAisle.

Having said that, most institutes in Bangalore offer a free trial class (most offer because they have no choice, since others offer it:)). So, I would still suggest you attend a trial class at a couple of places, before finalizing.

All the best, and do let us know your experience and decision.

Hi Nas,

Going good!

Good number of experience you hold. Appreciate for your taught, because this is really very right time to start your preparation for GMAT.
General Education has the online GMAT coaching class, conducted by ISB GMAT Instructors on weekends typically this is for working professional only. You can attend the demo class, if sounds good than you can move ahead.

You can also try mini GMAT test tool https://goo.gl/AZzlgw on the website.

Thanks,
Shoaib

Is appalled by all the marketing gimmicks of all the above coaching centers to dupe vulnerable students . Will give a frank opinion from a students perspective, who has taken both the services e-gmat and crackverbal .

E-gmat ...completely useless if u are looking to improve verbal . After u pay the fees u get access to some random videos uploaded, each explaining some basic concepts . The thing is these concepts are pretty basic and can be found online in Manhattan's Thursdays with Ron series (they are pretty amazing and honest do check them .) for free !! . They have very minimal questions to practice from.... a very big disadvantage , since without practice no point in cramming in concepts .
Although after going through their explanations given for various questions on gmatclub I was impressed by them but thats it ..... dnt expect much from their paid services .Pluss they dont have any tests of their own , then no way to test urself .

Crack verbal ..... Ohh boy !! where do i begin .... i have attended their classes ....complete trickery or rather sophistry is the right word i believe.
During the free intro classes they discuss very complex examples which make u believe that ur sooper dumb and then once when u enroll u realise that they dont have much to offer , probably the introductory class was the best class in the entire course . THeir claims of sending people to LBS, Stanford and others Ivys are of people who already had a stellar profile and just needed a touch up on their essays . Dont be fooled by the fancy website . their material is very basic and not much informative . No test series of their own again ! ...... the thing is they claim to teach u shortcuts fr RCs and CRs . The ugly truth is there are no shortcuts . U cant game the exam , no matter what they say . U have to improve ur English !! ...period . which takes time .

So what should one do !! ....... practice practice and practice by urself from as many books as u can.Buy Kaplan Manhattan and different books see the questions and learn from them . Because take it from me in writing there are no tricks or shortcuts for verbal . U have to read dense material and improve ur English and simultaneously practise. Watch Manhattans Thursdays with Rons they are a pot of gold ! when it comes to building concepts....

Do lsat verbal questions for more practice . Atleast RC and CR can be covered . Pluss LSAT has pretty decent questions . Read Opinion pages of nytimes , guardian et al . Daily practise quant fro 1-2 hr and verbal for 1 hr . Use the gmat prep tests very wisely . They are the closest u will get to giving the real gmat exam . Manhattan's 6 gmat test are also good but wayy tougher than the real exam . Do give them . Also search for solutions for each and every OG question in google . ROns explanation on their blog r pretty accurate .
The gmat exam also is evolving the old tricks which these coaching centers purport to teach no longer apply . Take it from a guy who gave gmat twice .

WHO AM i to give this advice?? --- a guy who gave GMAT twice -- 1st attempt - 700
2nd attempt - 720

Got in two Colleges with 50% fellowship . DOnt believe me go ahead waste 20k or more on these coaching guys . ALL the Best bro !!

HI All
Can anyone please suggest between Sandeep Gupta IVY GMAT and Crackverbal. I have heard SAndeep Gupta is good for Quant and Crackverbal for English.
I want to join for both Quant and English and it would be tough to juggle between the two classes, so looking to join either of the two. Can anyone please provide reviews about Quant and Verbal for both the Institutes.

Thanks in Advance

Crackverbals better of the two ! .........sandeeps a fraud ....earlier he used to claim he is the only person in the world to get 800 ....then when someone pointed it out to him its nt possible to score 800 he says 770 now . Pluss his classes r pretty much useless .

AvgIndianGuy · Answer

one must be sooper naive and hav an IQ of a 8yr old to fall fr this marketing gimmick !! creating a an animated gif proves nothing ... pluss its very hard to verify the authenticity of all this facade !... if dont believe me check sandeep guptas old post on beatthegmat (if he has already nt removed them )guy has claimed 800 ........ atleast crack verbal took criticism positively and gave proper reasons ..... first step towards improvment is accepting ur faults ...... this guys full of himslf ....he Claims only come to us if u want 760 !! ignorance about gmat exam and the candidates who get 760 is laughable . .... hope u dnt reply and embaress urself more .
