Hi All,
1.5 weeks ago I did the free GMAT Practice test 1 with no prior GMAT knowledge and got 630; since then I finished all the
OG medium level Qs, and today I scored 700 at the free GMAT Practice test 2. I am going to start doing Hard level
OG questions, however I feel that in a real exam securing 730+ will still not be a slamdunk.
Hence I am looking to hire a private tutor, probably 3-5 hours recap sessions to learn about hidden tricks and rules / what to look out for in a test. I'm looking for score boost rather than learning the basic, my focus is verbal and AWA only. The 3-5 hours can be flexed into longer sessions, but I am aiming to sit the real test by end of July, so not looking for overly extended tutorings. As I'm quite new to this arena, does anyone have any recommendation or approved tutor for this purpose?
I have done some researches this evening and filtered down to a few:
- GMAT Genius (a boutique recommended by Aringo to me), they are not mentioned on this website but selfclaimed to be good tutor, charging almost $2k/10hours, so a bit expensive for someone unknown - does any one have experience with them?
- Magoosh - very high review, but they charge quite lower fees than other, does any one have any verdict on their ability to boost beyond 730+
- Veritas - very high review but at the upper end of my budget, c.$2.7k/10hr
- Target Test Prep - ditto, high review but at the upper end, $300 per hour
So I'm thinking of going for
GMAT Genius or
Magoosh; keen to hear your thoughts or other recommendation! Thank you in anticipation!
