I am an IT professional looking for guidance on my GMAT prep. I have been preparing since last 5 months, and though my quant is okay, the verbal scores don't seem to pick up pace. I tried studying on my own, but my hectic schedule which includes a lot of travel, makes it difficult for me to keep up the consistency. Taking up a classroom course is not feasible, so I am looking at the option of online private tutoring.
Among the ones working with GMATClub, I am considering Optimus Prep's 34 hours tutoring, but wanted a feedback from those who have used the course. I read the reviews and they are great but I still want some other opinions.
Please let me know your feedback.
