Hi everyone,
I want to briefly share my experience and ask for some advices on next steps for my GMAT prep.
I am studying for the GMAt while working and I don’t have much time to study during weekdays, but I can definitely dedicate much more time on weekends.
I have taken the first gmat last Friday after 5 days of study, mostly quant with TTP (which i found useful) and scored 590 (42q, 30v, IR 7, AWA N/A I cancelled the score but with online evaluation tool I always scored 6/6). So what: I definitely need to work on verbal while refining my quant.
I am now planning to retake the gmat in 2 months more or less but I am not sure which resources to use. My goal is to get into a top 10 MBA and the only thing that i’m missing is a good gmat score above 680.
First of all, I am not sure whether to Use a online live corse, an on demand online corse or online one to one tutoring. I’m from Italy and unfortunately there aren’t any live in person classes. Even though I have a tight schedule from monday to Friday, I could attend on Saturdays classes or private tut.
Second, I don’t know which could be the best resource to use. I know my studying style and non interactive video lessons/online courses are not for me. Books are ok but as an add-on. I have tried so far:
-the economist online tutor and found it interesting but the option of not having questions at the end of each section and the possibility to review concepts is a downside
- TTP which I found really engaging and I useful but it only covers quant
-
Magoosh, I didn’t find it super interactive so even though I have lots of friends that have found it super I think is just not for me
My shortlist so far is either to:
- get a tutor/class with Manhattan or Veritas but not sure which one
- get on demand with either manhattan interact or the economist as a general course + TTP for dedicated quant deep dives and verbal with a resource which I still need to figure out (powerscore from what I saw is a good one)
- use the
gmat club tests, simply great (is not an option)
Any advise/suggestion would be super, I am a bit confused and not sure which to choose. I have one shot to get in my target school and want my application to be bulletproof.
Thank you very much, everything will be really appreciated !!!
