Hi Aakash0395,

Since it sounds like you're just beginning your studies, then you might not actually need a tutor just yet. To start, it would be a good idea to take a FULL-LENGTH practice CAT Test; you can take 2 for free at www.mba.com (and they come with some additional practice materials). If you want to do a little studying first, so that you can familiarize yourself with the basic content and question types, then that's okay - but you shouldn't wait too long to take that initial CAT. That score will give us a good sense of your natural strengths and weaknesses and will help provide a basis for comparison as you continue to study. A FULL CAT takes about 3.5 hours to complete, so make sure that you've set aside enough time to take it in one sitting. Once you have that Score, you should report back here (or you can feel free to PM me directly) and we can come up with a study plan.

I'd like to know a bit more about your timeline and goals:
1) What is your goal score?
2) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
3) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

Hi Aakash,

While looking for a private tutor, ask yourself what more does it provide than the others? And you have to be careful to choose the right one which suits you. Because everyone has one's requirements and the private tutor has to address that. So, I would recommend you to have a demo session if them if possible, then choose the one which suits you the most.

Having said that, if you are open to suggestions, I would recommend you to schedule a free demo session with us. We offer a hybrid learning in which the tutor uses the online platform to assess your performance and plans the next session based on that. If you are interested, you can schedule a free demo session using the below link.

Hi Akash, if you are new to GMAT, any reason why you think that  only   private tutoring  (and not live online classes with a very limited class size) will work for you?

Consider getting a bit familiar with this "Gmat world". Taking an Official Mock after getting a bit familiar with the material may help give you an idea where you are at and what you may need to work on, too.

Hi Aakash0395,

I'm also happy to provide some advice but would first like to learn more about your situation with the GMAT. Once you respond to the questions already asked, I can provide some detailed advice. In the meantime, you may find it helpful to read the following article:

As always, great advice from my colleagues here!

Yes: take a diagnostic test, ideally GMAC. You'll want to identify not only your strengths and weaknesses by assessing the questions you answered correctly/incorrectly but also, which questions you guessed on or that you answered correct but don't know why. From this you can decide how you want to proceed, including the kind of tutoring you want and where you want to focus your efforts: do you need a soup-to-nuts approach or just fine-tuning. That's how we assess diagnostic material: we look at the GMAC diagnostic, our comprehensive quiz and mindset evaluation intake, and a speed reading test to ascertain every student's next steps.

Some programs/tutors have a set structure their students plug into, others, like ours, are fully customized. We feel efficiency and effectiveness is what the typical GMAT student ideally wants and needs: MBA hopefuls are often juggling work, applications, and sometimes family, an exercise schedule, social life, volunteering, etc.. Another thing to consider is how do you best learn? What kind of communication between you and your tutor is best? What motivates you? Through our evaluatory process, we quickly pinpoint what each student needs to achieve their score goal and how long that typically take.

In our experience, there are 4 aspects of GMAT mastery necessary to score your best:

* Content Mastery
* Best Practices in Test-Taking Strategy
* Time Management
* Optimal Mindset

While the content mastery and best practices in test-taking strategy are offered by most companies, time management and optimal mindset are typically not included. Our time management training goes way beyond answering questions within a designated time. Effective time management anticipates that most students lose time reading. We teach GMAT (and GRE) specific speed reading techniques, boosting scores up to 26% and increasing reading speeds up to 5x. Upgrading ones reading by reading faster without compromising comprehension also improves performance on the entire test.

Optimal mindset is also valuable for students who feel anxious and lack confidence, focus, or calm in the testing environment and/or taking high stakes tests. Our coaching goes  way beyond  a student feeling confident with the material and practising. If a student feels anxiety it's likely not new and they've felt it  way before  taking the GMAT. Overcoming it you often need skills more potent than 'breathing techniques' and that work more quickly than setting up a mindful practice. These are both helpful but often, not enough. We teach and coach from holistic and mindful modality toolbox that includes hypnosis, Neuro-linguistic programming, EFT, EMDR, sound therapy, and more to teach test-takers how to get out of their own way and fire their inner critic. Test anxiety, trouble sleeping, procrastination or any other emotional dysregulation is handled quickly so our students perform their best when it counts the most. And when we say quickly: it's typically 3 - 5 hours and you're anxiety free!

We offer GMATCLub folks a free consultation, so sign up for one here. https://calendly.com/directortpny/test-prep-strategy-consultation

And be in touch if you want to check your reading speed or experience a recorded track to alleviate anxiety!
