I would suggest that you read through the reviews for these courses:

https://gmatclub.com/marketplace/courses ... ep/reviews
https://gmatclub.com/marketplace/courses ... se/reviews
https://gmatclub.com/marketplace/courses ... nd/reviews

I think from the standpoint of "teaching style" Veritas Prep has more of lessons/classes vs Economist or Optimus that have shorter videos focused more on a topic rather than a 2-hour lesson. I am posting a comparison of the 3 courses based on the GMAT Club Marketplace to help with any other decision making.

I'll hold off on an editorial comment since, as the co-host of the Veritas Prep On Demand lessons, I'm a little biased, but I should point out that you can take a "test drive" and see for yourself how well our program will work for you:

Hi fai0023,

When it comes to studying for the GMAT, there are a variety of different options. Most GMAT Companies offer some type of free materials (practice problems, Trial Accounts, videos, etc.) that you can use to 'test out' a product before you buy it. We have a variety of those resources at out website (www.empowergmat.com). I suggest that you take advantage of all of them then choose the one that best matches your personality, timeline and budget.

1) What is your goal score?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
3) When are you planning to apply to School?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Hello,

I am assuming you are a non-native English speaker like me. I am using the Veritas course but for the SC section i would recommend

i)The Manhattan Foundations of GMAT verbal Book
ii) e-gmat SC correction course (69$)

The courses you have mentioned most probably aren't tailor made for non-native English speakers and therefore e-gmat will suit you better.

Regards

Hamza

Just like Brian, even my comments would be biased :)
The best way out would be to go ahead and read the reviews.
