Knewton Online or Veritas On Demand GMAT Prep course

Question

I am currently looking into the best way to study for the GMAT. I am a working professional and I can honestly say I need some work from the fundamentals up. What course would be the best for an individual like myself? Working, average intellect....

Hi hford23,

I'm obviously biased since I work for Veritas Prep, and I won't try to compare the two services, but here are some things that make Veritas Prep on Demand hugely popular with our students:

An Instructor who scored above the 99th percentile on an actual GMAT and is dedicated to helping you duplicate that success
    15 Veritas Prep course lesson booklets that cover every topic of the GMAT, in depth
    "Lesson 0," our Math Essentials book which gives you an additional instruction beyond the 42-hour On Demand course, to bring you up to speed on the basics of arithmetic, algebra, and geometry
    15 complete computer adaptive GMAT practice tests (more than any leading GMAT prep provider)
    More than 1500 practice problems, ranging in difficulty from basic to advanced, offering ideal practice conditions
    Six months of access to Veritas Prep on Demand and all of our practice tests
    Unlimited online support through the student account
    Toll-free student support line helmed by seasoned Veritas Prep instructors every day of the week
    An MBA Admissions Workshop to help you start planning your application strategy

Additionally, I should add that all of the above are available to ALL of our GMAT students, and our On Demand students get the same level and quality of instruction that all Veritas Prep students receive. There's no difference in terms of the score increase we see for our students who enroll in On Demand vs. those who enroll in our in-person GMAT prep courses.

Please let me know if I can answer any other questions!

Hi!

I know you didn't explicitly ask about what we offer, but I'd like to throw Manhattan GMAT's Guided Self Study option into the mix.

With our Guided Self Study option, you have access to recordings all 9 of the three hour classes we hold during our regular nine-session courses, which you can watch as many times as you like, in addition to all of the other resources offered to our in-person and live online students. This includes our complete prep set (which has our 8 strategy guides, our Foundations of Math book, and all three official guides in addition to a test simulation book and stopwatch,) access to question banks and challenge problems as well as our computer adaptive exams, access to our online Labs, and, two half-hour sessions of one-on-one time with one of our instructors (who, in addition to scoring in the 99th percentile on the exam, also have to have had at least two years of prior teaching experience before being hired, and then went through over 100 hours of training before being let into the classroom.)

For more details, you can check here: https://www.manhattangmat.com/gmat-prep-self-study.cfm

If you have any questions about us, please don't hesitate to ask!

Thanks for your consideration,

Best,

JoshKnewton · Answer

Thanks for the inquiry.

If you assume all GMAT courses are created equal (which they aren't, but more on that later), then why not sign up for the course that is much, much less expensive than the others?

It's paradoxical that an on-demand course should cost more than $1000. Companies create on-demand products not only for customers but for themselves; it's on the shelf, ready to go.

Our course costs only $590 ($690 after Sunday), plus you can get the GMAT Club tests for free ($79 value) when you sign up with this promo code: KNEWTONBEST-GMAT-CLUB.

Now in terms of quality, Knewton also gives you:

-The best teachers in the country.
-5 CATS designed by the original developers of the GMAT (no joke).
-A 50pt Money-Back guarantee
-And adaptive learning engine on the backend that tells you exactly what you need to work on.
-A year-long membership.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hope to see you in class,
Josh

Hi,

i would like to know that is veritas prep available in india?

Thanks in advance.

scottshrum · Answer

Hi neha04,

We don't offer any in-person classes in India, but a lot of Indian students do take advantage of our online courses. Our  Live Online  course runs at specific times, and you log in and interact with your instructor and with other students, just like you would in a classroom. This is the same 42-hour course that you would get if you attended an in-person class.

We also offer a  Self-Paced GMAT Online  course, which is a pre-recorded online version of our 42-hour class. It's like watching a movie on a DVD: You can fast-forward, skip around, watch a lesson over and over, etc. That's a very popular option for students who have the discipline to stick to a schedule, who don't have consistent schedule and can't attend a class at a set time, or who want to be able to move through the class very quickly.

By the way, when you enroll in the Live Online course or any of our other courses, you also get access to the Self-Paced GMAT Online for six months. It's a useful tool for supplementing your in-class study, reinforcing lessons that you find extra challenging, etc.

Let me know if you have more questions!

I guess there is Veritas in India too. Quixx, check this out! https://www.careerlauncher.com/gmat/veri ... _prep.html Career Launcher has been there providing coaching for different CAT tests and recently it started giving coaching for GMAT where they claim they have a partnership with Veritas. According to them Veritas has a partnership with them whereby Career Launcher would teach for GMAT but would have Veritas material and the student would get a Veritas account and other things with that. I am planning on joining them, but when you said that there's no Veritas in India, I am wondering if they are for real. Please check this out and confirm if they actually do have a partnership with Veritas or not. Thank you!

scottshrum · Answer

Hi Wolf,

Yes, that's legit, although that partnership has just about ended. For several years Career Launcher taught GMAT courses in India using our curriculum and prep materials, but we're in the process if winding down that partnership. We may return to India another way (perhaps on our own), but Career Launcher isn't a Veritas Prep partner going forward.

Thanks for the heads up!

Hi Aspirants,

I will throw in my experience with Veritas Prep. I am a veritas prep student. I personally feel veritas On-demand course has a lot to offer to student. Not only do Brian builds up your basics but also he builds the advanced structure very carefully. With all the homework problems and CATs , I feel Veritas is a complete package.

WaterFlowsUp · Answer

@quixx

I must mention that Career Launcher , in India, still mentions there tie-ups with Veritas Prep. Kindly look into the matter.
