Dear Friends,
Let me first introduce myself. My name is Dheeraj, I have ~10 years of experience. I have a B. Tech. degree from a private institute and I am from Gurgaon.
I am absolutely serious about taking the GMAT in September end or early October. I have always been scoring more than 90% in mathematics during school/college, have been solving puzzles and have the confidence that I will do well on quant. My understanding is that I will have to spend more time on verbal section. I may be wrong and will only come to know the real situation once I start taking the full length tests.
I have therefore decided to go for class room coaching to familiarize myself with the actual test environment. I have met people from Princeton and Jamboree in old DLF, sector 14 Gurgaon. Have just got to know that Kaplan (the Chopras) and Veritas Prep are also there in Gurgaon and that too in old DLF only.
Can someone please suggest which classroom course is relatively better and on which parameters?
I am running against time and will really appreciate a quick reply as I have to get the ball rolling asap.
Regards,
Dheeraj

Hi dheerajb,
Since you've posted this in another Forum, I've copied my response here:
With a late September or early October Test Day, you have about 3 months of study time, which is good. Since you've also defined your score goal, it's important to establish a 'baseline' score so that we can get a sense of your strengths and weaknesses.
There are 2 free CAT Tests that you can download from www.mba.com; you should plan to take a FULL CAT (including the Essay and IR sections), then report back here with your scores. A FULL CAT takes about 4 hours to complete, so you should make sure that you've set aside enough time to do so in one sitting. If you want to do a little bit of light study to familiarize yourself with the question types before taking that CAT, then that would be fine, but you shouldn't wait too long to take that first CAT.
There are plenty of options when it comes to preparing for the GMAT besides taking a live class. Most GMAT companies offer some type of free resources (practice problems, Trial Accounts, videos, etc.), so that you can "test out" a product before you buy it. I suggest that you take advantage of all of them, then choose the one that best matches your personality, timeline and budget.
When are you planning to apply to Business School?
Do you know which Schools you want to apply to?

Thanks Rich for your advice. I plan to have the GMAT Prep software installed on my machine today. Will attend a 3 hour demo class in the evening. So that will not leave me with the time to take the test today. May take the test tonight though.
My aim is to start my B school studies in August 2016. I will therefore apply as soon as I get my official GMAT score (15th October tentatively).
I have a friend doing his MBA from Michigan (The Ross School of Business) and will discuss with him regarding the B schools based on my baseline score and my target score.
I will keep you posted.
