Hey there GMATers,
I recently got the test and got a 640 (42 Q 35 V ); I want to retake it so I can boost my score by at least 50 points.
I understand that I have to focus on my weak points and make a Study plan (Do you know a place/article about how to make an effective study plan? ). The problem that I had during my last prep was that my GMAT prep lacked a proper Study plan which I now believe is really integral to achieving a great score.
When I sat for my test, I realized that my weak point in Verbal was RC and CR. In fact there was a point when I wasted so much time on this particular monster of a passage that I was behind schedule and ended up spending less time on other questions. Even towards the end, I felt that some of the CR questions were very tough. Before I clicked the button to show my score, I actually thought I would get an exceptionally low score, but fortunately it was not so.
That being said, I need to strengthen certain areas in Quant, Verbal (especially RC, CR) and I also need to build a strategy to work on my timing (especially in verbal)
I have come across 2 such GMAT prep courses which seem really good:
1) Knewton GMAT Prep
2) E GMAT(SC and CR)
I am in two minds about whether I should go only for the Knewton course, which offers the entire package (Does the 50 pt guarantee hold true in India as well? ) or the Egmat clubbed with Knewton (though I am not sure e gmat offers an RC course, which I need). In addition, I have also heard that EGMAT has a certain point guarantee as well, can anybody highlight how this works?
Furthermore, I have heard that the only difference between Knewton On demand and Live is that the latter has live tutoring whereas the on demand version doesn’t. They also mention that there are 12 videos for reference; Are there 12 videos per topic or 12 videos totally? (I’m a bit apprehensive because this is my 2nd attempt and I want to make right decisions and make the most of it!)
I know i have come very close, and i now finally want to 'Beat the GMAT' and get into the 700s Club!
Best Regards,
aJ

Hi AJ,
First of all, I would like to thank you for your interest in e-GMAT course offering. 640 is a great starting point to build towards that 700+ scoreline. Here some answers to your questions:
1. Guarantee: We provide a 4+ (out of 60) point Verbal score improvement guarantee. This will translate to approx. 40-50 point improvement on a 700 point scale. While there are many companies that provide an overall score improvement - eGMAT is probably the only company that provides a Verbal Score improvement guarantee. You can review the terms and conditions here. This guarantee does apply to you.
2. Study Plan: While re-taking its very important that you work on your weaknesses as that provides the most bang for your buck. We routinely provide sessions on how to think strategically about the GMAT, identify your weak areas and create your study plan accordingly. In fact I recently got an email from one aspirant who was able to improve is GMAT score from 730 to 760 in just ten days once he defined the areas he needed to work on. Below is the recording of the most recent strategy session. Review it to define your weak areas.

3. e-GMAT course: First things first - Our Verbal Live Complete does include RC. There are two parts to e-GMAT offerings- e-Learning course and the Live Sessions. The e-Learning courses is a purpose built course that is designed specifically to help non-natives excel on verbal. If you have taken our free trial, you probably have tried the e-Learning course (about 50-60) hrs of content in SC/CR. In addition to the e-Learning course, we also offer 35 hrs of live sessions where we deal with every aspect of Verbal (including RC). These live sessions complement the e-Learning courses and focus on analysis. Essentially in these sessions, we get into the test takers mind and analyze 700+ level problems. A lot of our customers who have scored 40+ on Verbal have taken these sessions. To summarize, through our Verbal Live Complete you get 3X-4X as much content that is designed specifically for non natives.
4. Quant: While we don't offer quant lessons yet, you do get the 2000 quant questions through Grockit Premium membership and GC tests when you purchase Verbal Live Complete. Hence, you get more than enough practice.
Take a look at our GC page to get a better idea of our offerings. We also have a comparison table.

Overall, you have a great point to start from. Make a decision and put all your effort in it. You can get to 720-740 if you put in a 100+ hrs of effort.

Hi aJ
Performance Tracking: The Knewton program provides comprehensive performance tracking, so you will be able to dissect your performance by concept (e.g. Probability or Strengthen/Weaken questions). The 13 session course provides a very effective foundation, and is comprehensive.
Money back guarantee: We give you a 50 point guarantee provided you complete the necessary coursework (attend each session and complete the associated homework). If your overall score does not improve by at least 50 points and you've put in the necessary effort, you will get your money back.
Choice of program: Knewton Complete Prep consists of 13 on-demand sessions that can be viewed at your convenience and includes access to our database of prep materials (including performance tracking, concept explanations and videos, as well as the 6 CATs) for 4 months. Premium live consists of all of the above plus 24 hours a week of live instruction in the form of workshops. We are constantly adding new material, and about 12 hours are spent working on entirely new questions every week. The other 12 hours are spent on Strategy, Focus and Fundamentals sessions which are on a rotating schedule. These sessions incorporate new materials after two iterations. Finally, the last significant difference is that your subscription to Premium Live is valid for an entire year (as compared to 4 months for Complete Prep).
The question of which program is right for you will depend on what your needs are. We keep our workshop sizes small, so you will get plenty of attention from both the on-camera instructor as well as the off-camera instructor. If you feel like you could benefit from that kind of interaction and from working through a ton of new material each week, then Premium Live would be the better route to go. If all you need is access to a vast database of materials that you would like to work through at your own pace, then Complete Prep would be an excellent choice.
I think that covers everything. Please let me know if you have followup questions. Good luck with prep!
