GMAT Prep course reviews, discount, codes

received a ridiculously low score on my first gmat. I just signed up with knewton so I am hoping to see a substancial boost. With me luck!

I thought i did. Am I supposed to have access to all of the tests? or only the Knewton ones?

You should have access to both: Knewton Tests and GMAT Club Tests

I have provided free access for yo to the GMAT Club Tests.

Thanks a lot! I need anything i can get.

Best of luck my friend. Go through each and every lessons of knewton, they are awesome. Also read their concept library. Their concept library is a little hard to navigate but still I will say go through all of the library. In fact I copied each and every page of their library into open office document and then into a pdf book of 90 page just for sentence correction alone. I am finding this book on par with mgmt sc guide and it is helping me increase my accuracy on sc. Hope you will take benefit of all these and ace the gmat. Best of luck again!

I used Princeton Review's classroom course, wanted to take MGMAT but couldn't make it fit into my work schedule.

I found PR to be pretty average. My class only had 5 people in it, so I was expecting a lot of catered instruction, and I made it clear to the instructor that I wanted to score 700+. What really turned me off was my instructor hadn't taken an actual GMAT in years, and couldn't even remember what her score was! IMO, if you are teaching a GMAT Prep class, you should be required by your parent organization to sit and take the REAL GMAT on a recurring basis (I really don't care how often, perhaps once a year?), in order to stay on the up and up with the latest trends on the test! I guarantee things are somewhat different now than they were when she took the test. This is why I wanted MGMAT, where all instructors score 760+ and take the exam frequently.

PR was designed for someone looking to score 550-650, definitely not 700+. While they have resources and advanced drills to help people with those goals, it's just not the same as having a living instructor who engages with you regularly to help you through the process of reaching a 90th percentile score. After all, that's why you're paying $1000+ for the class instead of $25 for an advanced quant book or SC guide.

I ended up scoring a 750 on the real GMAT, but I attribute this primarily to the exhaustive prep I did on my own, (200-300 hours over 4 months) using all the MGMAT books and OGs plus supplementary OGs, plus some GMAT Club tests.

On the whole, I wouldn't recommend PR if you can go for MGMAT's class (even the online one, which I have seen and the format is essentially just as good as being there in real life). PR was ok for some basics and study techniques, but I think you can get more from your money elsewhere.

I have a question about the Manhattan 9 Session Prep Course.

I already bought the 8 Strategy guides as well as the Offical Guide (12th ed) - is there any way to get a discount on the course if do not want to get the books again? (i.e. deduct the price for the books from the total course fee...)

Thanks for your help!

Hi,
Recently i have discovered Master GMAT course.
I have taken its free trial and liked it, and i want to go ahead with it.
Can any body suggest about it.

I believe You can actually get a discount (don't quote me on it) - just check with the MGMAT representative and they will give you a credit (won't ship the books either)

Thank you for the report. Let me double-check

Hey Guyz,

Have been through all the posts on this forum and was thinking which course to select

I have already given GMAT twice - 580 (Q47 ,V24 ) in Aug'10 and 660 (Q49 ,V32 ) in May'11

I am inclined towards Knewton after reading the reviews on GMAT Club. Majority of the users have liked it and benefited from it.

I was curious to know about GMAT Pill too -Their success stories are inspiring but couple of them are somehow too good to be true (in my opinion, no pun intended here)

I would appreciate if the experts can help me decide on this.

I intend to give GMAT by mid April (so I have 2+ months for prep)

Cheers

Ok surfed little more and have already applied for Knewton
Hope it shall help improve and be a better person (on GMAT score card)
Shall give review on the course and progress on my GMAT journey, when I have a story to tell :p

I'm also between
Knewton and GMAT PILL.

Still deciding .....

Videos posted for GP are too good, but no ides if the whole program is like that or its made for specific questions.

thanks for compiling everything on one page..
looks i will go for gmatpill for rc and knewton for online program..

has anybody tried the kaplan gmat review course?

i just started self-studying this month. and still on my gmat math review. i plan to either take either kaplan gmat prep course or the manhattan gmat next month.

can anybody shed light on this? how is kaplan? how is manhattan gmat?

Hey guys ,

What's the best online course available for RC ? Many people say gmatpill is good , but it's too expensive for me . Are there any other good courses for RC ?

As like many people here i am good in Quants but average in Verbal.
Wanted to select one in between E-GMAT and Knewton. Can the experts help me to choose the best? I am looking for a score of 40+.

Thanks in advance.
