Interesting! Very few people are taking in person classes in the US search interesting that people still have a preference for a live in classroom instructor.

The US, especially after the pandemic has mostly moved to on demand courses without human interaction. I think it’s more about control and studying when you want and how you want as opposed to having a schedule. Also obviously the labor cost in cost of having an instructor or a tutor a pretty prohibitive in the US. An average tutor will cost you $200 🥴

If you’re asking about their online course, the one with the live virtual classes, don’t consider it.

I took those sessions. They miss out on so many important concepts. Also, they don’t teach you application of the concepts in any way. I gave the official mock after going through ALL of their content and only scored a 640. They ask you to go for shortcuts like skimming the passage, eliminating ‘extreme’ answer choices etc. In quants, they teach you surface level concepts.

As a fellow student who paid to study with them, I would advise strongly against choosing them. They might be great for CAT but their GMAT prep isn’t upto the mark.

(Note that this review is only with regards to their live virtual classes. The instructors might be different if you go to a specific centre.)

Have you considered using an online-self-study course?

Hi gmatpro15,

When it comes to training for the GMAT, there are a variety of different study materials that you might choose to use. From your posting history, it appears that you've been studying for at least 1.5 months, so 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:

Studies:
1) How long have you studied so far? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?

Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

Hi  gmatpro15

While looking for a course there's the  obvious factors  that one looks for - cost, content and teachers. But I'd recommend that you look for some  other factors  as well.

1. Look for a course that not only teaches you  concepts  but also teaches you the  application  of these concepts.  GMAT is a test of application skills  and as such this is a crucial factor. A course that teaches you a  structured  way of solving questions is very important if you want to score  700+ .

2. It should provide you with a  clear and structured study plan . Your focus should be only on learning and not struggling with  what and how to study . Look for a course that provides you with the guidance for the same.

3. It should give you  detailed feedback  on your performance and show you  exactly where  you can  improve

4. It should offer  doubt solving support  along with  dedicated mentors  who guide you throughout your GMAT journey.

As GMAT is an adaptive test, I suggest you to go with an online course as it helps you take  adaptive quizzes  and provides you  all the content on a single platform . The best way to choose an online course is to check out the free trials of the courses out there and then choose the one which suits you the most. You can check out the free trial of GMATWhiz and take a decision. It is a personalized course that comes with an integrated study plan and adapts the content in real-time on basis of your performance.
