I took Veritas, however for me it was waste of money!!! The problem with the prepcourse is that you are taking a HUGE risk by going to some unknown instructor, who might have scored in 99th percentile, but doesn't know how to teach... he might be smart and entertaining, but it boils down to the fact that you don't go to class to laugh... you go there to learn and to get some support...
in my case veritas changed the teachers in the middle of the course... both instructors were smart, but completely different in the teaching approach... the later one was boring (for instance, he would time us on RC passage and ask questions later... i could do this myself at home) and the first one was very snobbish (liked to put people on the spot during the class and acted like he knows everything there is to know, although gave some good tips compared to the other guy who was kind of "old school")...
to the explanations... yeah... they SUCK! despite the fact that there is a whole book on each subject with explanations, they aren't too much of a help... sometimes IMHO explanations were over thought and confusing...
my advice... stay away from the catchy marketing campaign of "ELITE" preparation, unless you know who the instructor going to be!!! and if you have to choose blindfully which course to take, I suggest
MGMAT instead... although I haven't taken it I only heard good reviews!
hope this helps someone.
ps... homework... yeah!!! they have A LOT! and the problem is that you are better off practicing with
OG than spending that time on their HW... you might use their books for fundumentals, but when it comes to practicing,
OG is way better... and btw, they don't list the problem types in the
OG like
MGMAT or GMAX does... at least they didn't at the end of last year.
