Hello everyone,
I am looking for a GMAT tutor which can help me boost my score from 2 years ago -650 (V35,Q46)- to 700+. For the last 4-5 months, I have used Kaplan for quant concepts problems, MGMAT for verbal concepts and OG for problems. However, I still don't see any improvement in my score. My GMAT Prep CAT 1 (May 2020) and CAT 2 (June 2020) scores are 620 (V30, Q45) and 640 (V31, Q47) respectively. I have since started using resources on GMATclub and videos available on YT to help me improve my verbal strategy and I moved my test date to October. Now I am considering taking a GMAT course and I am looking for suggestions.
I see that empowerGMAT and TTP get lot of endorsement on Reddit and GMATclub. Which of these courses would you suggest to a re-taker? And has anyone seen serious improvements in 2 months after enrolling in one of these courses? Can someone also please comment on what is taught in these two courses, how different they are, and do they use their own questions or OG questions?
I understand TTP is great for Quant, which I would need to improve if I am eyeing a 700 score, but I also want to get a decent verbal score. Even if I can afford to purchase the two courses, would I be able to complete Quant section from TTP and verbal from EMPOWER in under two months?
Thanks in advance for all your inputs!

A nice advice for you is enroll for trial period in both courses and see by yourself. I think Empowerment gives 3 days free and TTP 5 days for $1.

Hi ns91,
GMAC has publicly stated that the Official Score that you earn on Test Day is within +/- 30 points of actual ability. Assuming a similar 'swing' in how your CATs function, your 2 recent CAT score results - along with your Official Score from 2 years ago - show that you essentially performed the same each time (about 640 +/- a few points). You handle certain aspects of the GMAT consistently well, but you also make certain consistent mistakes. Since you're performing at the same general level as you were back in 2018, it's likely that you have developed some 'bad habits' that are keeping you from scoring higher (and will need to be replaced with new 'good habits'). I would bet that your general content knowledge is fine, so you probably do not need to work with a tutor; instead, you have to change how you 'see' (and respond to) the Exam to consistently score at that higher level. If you're a flexible-enough thinker and can learn new ways of dealing with the GMAT, then you could potentially hit your Goal Score in 1-2 months.
Before I can offer you any additional advice for your studies, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
1) Since you restarted your studies, how many hours have you typically study each week?
2) Are you planning to take the At-home GMAT or do you plan to take your GMAT at a Test Facility?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?
