Hi,
I have taken the GMAT 5 times and have score 660(Q48 V34) in my last attempt. I have taken a GMAT course but it clearly didn't turn out to be useful. I think a GMAT tutor who can guide me with the strategies and help me figure out my weakness and guide me to work on it will be really helpful. Is it really a good idea to have a tutor? Also, please suggest some not so expensive tutors who can guide me. I can provide great reviews and spread good word-of-mouth in my circle( a lot of them are planning to prepare for the GMAT). Please help here. I will forever be grateful to you for this act of kindness.
Thanks
Hey @
Krishnahelps,
My two cents:- Q48 is not bad at all. Stay in touch with quant,
work on your weak areas, and you should hit the equivalent of Q50-51.
- Verbal could use some work. But also,
work on DI, now that GFE is here.
- A tutor can try to help with diagnosis (what are the main issues/problems to be fixed?), and put you on a path to try and fix the issues and provide guidance. Concept gaps are easily fixed. Process gaps (bad processes) and skill gaps need deliberate practice and tons of hard work in general. Tutor or otherwise, be prepared to work hard!
- Tutoring can be expensive if you are very far from where you need to be. If you have a lot of conceptual learning to do, and need a ton of practice to reach the level you are aiming for, a course (a good one!) may be a good bet. Courses typically offer more practice questions, and can really help build the foundations well. A tutor could help, but it will cost more.
- V34 is typically a score one gets when the general concepts and foundations are OK. So, if I had to judge based on V34, I would say that tutoring could be worth in your case.
Reach out on PM if you feel I may be able to help in any way.
Cheers!
