MGMAT: Strategy Guides vs On-Demand Interact Course [#permalink] New post   01 Jul 2019, 02:23
Hello,

I am about to start my preparation for the GMAT and currently have the following material at hand:
- MGMAT Strategy Guides 6th edition (0 to 9)
- OG 2020

I am still uncertain whether or not I should buy an on-demand interact course (only option that fits for me if ever I decide to go for a course).

My doubts revolve around 2 general questions:

1- Does the on-demand interact course contains additional information not available in the books (content, strategy, etc...)? I might decide to buy the Questions Bank, Practice Exams and Advanced Quant Book separately if I don't see the added value of the interactive video lessons.

2- If I go for the Quant-only Interact course, would I still get all the online tools that come with the full interact course? And most importantly, will I get a full syllabus including verbal as well? While I intend to study the whole Quant and SC sections from MGMAT, I would like to use another source for CR (Powersore Bible), which makes me think that the Verbal interact course may not be necessary. However, I would like to have a comprehensive syllabus (Quant + Verbal) to guide me through my studies on a weekly basis. Would this be possible if registering for the Quant-only course?

Finally, while I own the OG 2020, I noticed that MGMAT courses refer to OG 2019 for practices. Is this a problem or are both editions similar?

Please note that I haven't take the GMAT yet, have at least 6 months to study for the test, and have good foundations with respect to the material. My target score is 720+.

I am planing on starting next week and would like to make sure I have everything that is needed in terms of material to reach my target score.

Many thanks for clearing my doubts.

Best,

IMO, Manhattan interact course is the best on demand course available in the market . You get extra questions bank and strategy which are not present their books. I highly recommend to buy manhattan interact course.

Hi aih07,

I think MGMAT Strategy guides and Powerscore bible would suffice if you can put in sufficient time. Interactive courses work very well for people who like to study online and are not to comfortable reading for long hours. With the MGMAT strategy guides you will also get access to MGMAT mocks, which will prove very helpful in the later stages of your preparations.

OG 20 has only 15% new questions compared to OG 19 so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Hope this helps. All the best!

I really wish this reaches you before it is too late.
Take a manhattan crash course of 9 GMAT Classes if you want. I've been through that course. It is compatible with your material. ALSO, you made a mistake purchasing all manhattan guides as if you'd have gone for that course, I'm sure, you'd get all the strategy guides and OG from their side and also 6 MGMAT Tests ($49 worth)

Nevertheless, you still got those. Good thing is you can activate your tests and question banks. If you're Indian, I could suggest you some good platforms. Don't rush into anything. Since you're just starting, I assume you'll be applying in Round 2. Anyhow, I have seen a lot of prep companies that do not give enough. Keep the official guide for the ultimate preparation.
Also, don't worry there are links to OG questions on GMAT Club. You don't need to buy anything else. Even verbal review questions are posted. Buy the GMAT question pack from mba.com ( available on GMAT Club but still recommended)

Text me if you need more help in this thread.

if I was helpful, a kudos for appreciation will always be nice

Did you buy ''interact on-demand'' course finally? How about the both quant and verbal of 'Interact'?
