There are plenty of good services -- the goal and point is to choose which one suits you the best. TTP, Empower, Egmat, Magoosh, ect. They all offer online courses. Try a few of them

Which service would you say is most helpful/does the best job for Verbal specifically?

Most of the companies mentioned above do offer trial periods. Try all of em if possible and then choose the one that fits you the best.

It is a personal preference/etc. You may like one instructor or hate another or may like UI/Tone/etc. What works for me may not work for you but usually it is more about YOU than the materials.

Think about people using weights, machines, cross-fit, etc all these other approaches to working out. Some do work better than others but you may not enjoy them and really not work out as the result. Same with GMAT materials - try what fits your style. It does not take long

Sure! Welcome to GMAT Club. Sounds like you are talking about the Forum Quiz Trial. Please go here to get started: quiz.php?menu=1 However, if you are just starting your GMAT Prep, perhaps it is best to learn material/concepts first before taking quizzes.

Hello! To everyone planning to take the exam in the next quarter, do you plan to wait and take the exam next year once the GMAT Focus takes over? Are experts speculating that the new version will be easier? If so, how will it impact the university applications and the required GMAT scores?

What score do you have now?

That’s a pretty reasonable target. Did you set that in the TTP system?

Going in completely cold can cause all kinds of variation so I wouldn’t use anyone else’s attempt as a general average score.

I don't think you to worry too much about your initial score. Do your best and understand that it's just a starting score.

Hi,
There are quite a few career tracks that you can explore, for example I have listed a few here:

1. Operations Management roles
2. Supply Chain and Logistics
3. Program Management
4. Chief of Staff ( or HR)
5. Strategy roles
6. CEO office roles ( which could include Strategy, Chief of Staff, Program management etc)

Specific options would depend on the details of your work experience of course.

All the best!
