Hi gmatclub members,
I'm trying to figure out which option would work better: to a attend a class of around 20 people, or take a personal tutor. Could anyone who have walked both paths share her/his experience?
What is the benefit of a personal tutoring and what really are the differences between the two?
Thanks a lot!

Hi ivgj,
Since either of these options will likely require a significant investment on your part, it's important to define your situation, expectations and timeline. It MIGHT be that NEITHER option is necessary.
1) How long have you been studying?
2) What is your score goal?
3) What resources have you used so far?
4) When are you taking your Official GMAT?

Hi Rich,
Thanks for the quick reply. I'm trying to reach a goal of 700+ scores on the GMAT. I'm not a native English speaker and a 700 score seems like a big thing. I'm trying to figure out which option will push me more, the group or the personal tutor, so I reach my goals. To further explain my situation, I took the test once and I got scores of 500. This was more to see what the test was like. I was preparing for the first try at home with KAPLAN books and resources.
To answer to the questions you've posted:
1) For my first try, I've been studding on and off for 4 months. The studding wasn't serious even though I got the concepts and I it seems to me it would be much easier the second time I go over
the material to get to use these concepts.
2) My goal score is 700.
3) I used KAPLAN resources.
4) I'm taking the GMAT again in 2.5 months from now.
Thank you so much! Your opinion is much appreciated!

Hi ivgj,
When you scored 500, what were your Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores?
Putting together the exact combination of resource to help you hit your goal will be a little tricky, since we don't have a clear idea of your strengths and weaknesses. By studying off-and-on and not putting in a consistent, serious effort, you don't have reliable data to compare with. You probably have an idea of your "weak" categories, but we don't know the specifics.
To raise your score 200+ points, you're likely going to need to invest in a class of some kind (Guided Self-Study or Instructor-Led). Tutoring might be helpful later on, when you already know what you need to focus on, but is probably not a good idea to start with (since the tutor will have to spend time trying to figure out what you need). You're also going to have to put in the consistent study time needed to succeed. Most Test Takers spend 3 months (or more) of consistent study time on the process; during that time, it's common to spend 10-15 hours per week (or more) on your studies.
