Hi all

Did anyone use Jamboree services for GMAT preparation? How is this coaching institute especially the NFC centre?

It would be great if anyone could share their experiences or views on this.



Thanks

I know you're looking for an opinion here, but have you asked for a demo class yet?

Yes.
Well demo classes are usually always satisfactory but as one continues to study from a specific company, he/she comes to know the real thing which can either be good or bad. That is the reason I asked for an opinion here from someone who took coaching from Jamboree NFC centre as they would provide an unbiased opinion based on their experiences. This would better help me to make my decision.

Can you answer my one query?

There are two course options offered by Jamboree: 5.5 and 11 weeks
If one enrolls for 11 weeks course and later wants to switch to 5.5 weeks course. Can he do that?

Yes, that's possible, and it's also quite common. There's a time limit though (9 months). You can confirm the details with someone from the operations team at the center. Keep in mind that spreading your preparation over a 3 to 4 month period (irrespective of whether you join Jamboree) is generally a better option.

Has GMAT club removed verified reviews for Jamboree? It was there last time I checked in 2016 but can't find them now.
Any idea?

I think so. As for your request for opinions, maybe you could do what I ask people at my center to do: go around the center and talk with current students in other batches and with students in the library. You'll always find students who've attended most or all of the sessions at the center. A discussion with them might give you answers to your questions.

I have been reading reviews on various forums and people have mentioned Jamboree's strength in GMAT quant rather than verbal. Is this true ? Is Jamboree better in quant than verbal ?

Shiv2016: I had taken up Jamboree's classes at Ahmedabad. The tutors were well acquainted with the concepts and classes were flexible. It's a different thing that I couldn't get my target score, which is always up to an individual and not the test prep material/tutors.

Take a demo class and talk to the students before you enroll in any course.

Thanks for sharing your experience with Jamboree. I have already booked for a demo class. Can you please share a little more about how you found quant and verbal ?
If you don't mind sharing, how much did you improve (by how many points)?
