This is my personal review about Jamboree. This approach may be useful for highly talented people, Native speakers, strong in verbal comprehension, who already have a very good understanding of GMAT and who already prepared for GMAT.
Pros:
The study room is good.
AC maintenance, institute maintenance is good. Admin staff is friendly.
They will give you a 1-year lab and classroom access facility
They will share faculty number, you can reach them any time
They will a create https://gmatclub.com/chat group for discussions.
Jamboree’s approach to solving Sentence correction:
Check the first words and the last words of the sentence
They do not suggest to understand the meaning
They will give you blind rules and don’t give us enough information about exceptions in the rules
They don’t give you proper notes and say grammar is not much use to solve SC questions
Jamboree’s approach to solving critical reasoning:
They will teach all rules at a time, it will be difficult for anyone to understand which type of question we are working and which method to use
They don’t suggest the simple and best approach to solve CR question and provide us with a number of approaches and they mix these approaches for all types of question. In the initial time, it will be difficult for anyone to differentiate these questions and types. After attending classes 2 times also I did not get any clarity.
Jamboree’s approach to solving Reading comprehension:
One and only rule that they follow for RC is skimming and scanning
They say it’s not important to understand the meaning of the RC
Quant:
We will not get enough time to take notes
Practice:
This is the highlight of Jamboree's style
They will give you 2 books.
Book1 is for classroom purpose. It will cover basic question (< 500 score question)
Book2 consist of very difficult questions
They suggest you follow only these two books. If you follow only two books, we are going to waste our time. Book1 will not cover all type of questions. Book2 will waste our time with very difficult questions (>700 type questions). I contacted few GMAT aspirants, who took real GMAT. Their review about book2 is, even though book2 is good, it is not recommended to practice in the early stage of practice. Anyway, we are not going get clarity on 600-700 level trap questions because of these books.
They will give you practice tests, but these are not adaptive (CAT)
They are giving 1-year validity for their GMAT course but it's not useful if the content is not good.
I do not get a correct approach for GMAT - This is my view in a single line
