At one point, she believed GMAT wasn’t for her. After scoring 595, self-doubt crept in and she questioned her potential. But instead of quitting, she made the right strategic changes. The result? A remarkable comeback to 695. Check out how Saakshi did it.

I think I am strong at self study but I am really concerned that there may be some tips I don't know that could help me solve Quant questions. I am wondering if anyone took a course online or in person and found that the instructor gave any tips that justify the cost?
I currently have the complete Manhattan review guides, Manhattan intro to math, 13th edition GMAT review, GMAT official guide for verbal and quant.
If anyone thinks I should add any additional review material for self study, let me know.
Thanks!

Check out my guide, but I was able to get a 710 with self study. I didn't really have the schedule nor did I want to spend a lot of money for something I felt that I could do. I will always encourage self-study IF you are willing to spend the amount hours necessary. Check out my guide and let me know how I can help, or ask me specifics.

Hi!
I completely understand your dilemma. Having never taken a GMAT class, I cannot give a complete and impartial review of both sides of the coin, so to speak.
For my prep, I used all of the MGMAT series (not the intro stuff though) and OG13. Whenever I came across a question I could not solve, I took to these forums and found solutions that were both illuminating and easy to understand. When I felt I needed a greater challenge in Quant, I turned to the "700+" collection, which, if used correctly, will familiarize you with all of the ins-and-outs of the more complex aspects of the Q section. Follow the link to get to it:
700-800-level-quant-problem-collection-detailed-solutions-137388.html
If you're feeling shaky about the fundamentals, and feel that you are either a) a visual learner or b) learn better in group/classroom-type settings, I would recommend a course. If you're the type that needs ample time and solitude to really pore over the material, you may be better off doing the lone wolf thing.
I assure you that there are legions of people who have tried (and who swear by) each of the options. You can't go too far wrong, whichever way you pick.
If you feel you are strong at self-study, I would recommend you try going it alone for now, given that you have all of the books that you'll need. If, after a month or two, you feel like you haven't progressed, it might be time to sign up for a class.
I hope this helps! Don't hesitate to PM me if you need some more support.
