Hi fellow test-takers,
In this post, I would give you all a short brief of Wizako's
GMAT Online Course | GMAT Quant | Core module which I have recently bought (mostly for revising my Quant concepts). Some of the pro and cons are:
Pros:- The instructor in the videos, K.S. Baskar is a renowned and well-experienced tutor who has also been teaching quantitative maths for various competitive exams for more than 19 years now.
- Mr. Bhaskar's way of teaching is actually interesting and he doesn't bore his students while they are streaming through those video lessons.
- The learning videos are short (mostly 10-12 minutes with few exceptions for lengthy topics) so you can always take breaks in between without losing the flow of a particular concept/lesson.
- It is actually pocket-friendly (less than 50 USD).
- It can prove beneficial for students who are planning to start from level 1 and not level 0 (assuming you do know the basics concepts, definitions etc.).
- There are some questions while learning particular topics that you can practice yourself and then check for Bhaskar's solving method too for knowing whether you have completely understood his way of learning or not.
Cons:- The number of questions is quite less and the website asks you to go for a full-blown package for getting more and more concept based practice questions (the full-blown study material is for about 135-140 USD)
- The level of difficulty for questions mostly lie in the range of 500-650 (or maybe 650-700) with just a handful of brain-racking 700+ questions.
- It seemed like the instructor does not believe in using shortcut tips and tricks while answering concept based questions but rather building the learner's concept grasping and application (As this was one of the reasons why I had first opted in for the module to find some really nice shortcut tips, so I was slightly disappointed after completion of lesson series), so this might be little disappointing for students who already are hands-on with solving question through shortcuts and tips.
- The exclusive test series section at the end of the module also includes basic to mid difficulty level questions (mostly 400-650 range and few 700 level but not 750+ level questions).
- Not all questions would be picked or even inspired from
OG/Manhattan/GMATClub/Veritas questions pattern, so you might still need to come back to these platforms for a more real-test like questions practicing session.
- There is no module for Verbal preparation even when do broadcast about their Verbal instructor, Swetha Rajagopal being an ace GMAT score achiever already etc.
Final VerdictYou can consider going for Wizako Quant core course to strengthen your concepts (known already or not); however, I would suggest keeping a balance between Wizako and other platforms in terms of experiencing a complete cycle of GMAT test-like question practicing.
I hope you do find this post useful. I would be happy to entertain your further queries in the comments below.
P. S. You might want to check out their Youtube channel first and go through a few of the freely available videos as those videos are the same as what they are selling in their above-mentioned module (obviously the quantity of content is much lower on their YT channel).
