I am looking some advice on how to start and choose gmat course company for my GMAT journey,
Previously i studied gmat only from
manhattan books for only 2 months without join any gmat course, after reading i get bored. Now i want to dedicate myself for 3 months to study gmat (my target score is 700-720) by using GMAT course
I am looking for gmat course with budget max $400 that can cover quant verbal (as I'm not native english speaker) dan have step by step study plan (I like to be consistent while I'm studying something)
I tried trial from empowergmat and
target test prep (
TTP). Both are good, but i still confused to decide which one to choose (well obviously, I can't use both because I'm tight budget and i don't want to get overwhelm with the material)
I would appreciate unbiased experience and opinions from students that have taken either or both of empowergmat and
target test Prep (
TTP)
Thanks!!
Hi msjulita,
When you choose a resource, make sure to choose one which helps you with the right aspects for your GMAT preparation. As GMAT mainly tests your application skills, the resource you choose must help you with:
- Concepts
- Methodology (Very important)
- Practice questions
- Their detailed solutions
So, you first learn the concepts of a particular topic, then learn the methodology to solve questions of that topic and only then practice questions to solidify your learning. This is how you go about your GMAT preparation. The resource you choose must make your prep a lot more structured and effective.
And one more important thing to look for in a course is the
study plan. To make your prep effective, you need to be really consistent. So, a study plan will help you to be consistent. Having said that, you cannot follow a study plan which doesn't suit you. For example, a person who can dedicate just 3 hours a day cannot have the same study plan as a person who can dedicate 6 hours a day. So, the study plan has to be
personalized. And not just that, it's important to have the
right guidance from the mentor because students often get stuck in the middle of their prep and do not understand how to proceed further.
The better way to choose an online course is to check the free trials of the courses and then decide which suits you the most. I suggest you to check the free trial of
GMATWhiz and then take a decision. It provides you with a
personalized study plan by taking into account the number of hours you can dedicate for studies in a week. It focuses mainly on the application of concepts and has detailed solutions for the questions which helps you to learn the right methodology. And a
dedicated mentor will be assigned to the student once he/she enrolls for the course. The student can get in touch with the mentor once in every 15 days to seek guidance on how to proceed further.
Hope it helped. If you have any queries regarding the study strategy or the resource, you can get in touch with me using the below link. I will be happy to help.
