Here's the interesting part that noone will tell you and I have painfully learnt through lot of trial and error and attempts
1. One course may take one student to a 700+ and other still struggling at 500+ cause the aptitude difference and grasping skills could still differ and the the set approaches may not make sense for every student.
2. Exploit free trials for all!
3. Exploit YT playlist
- For CR: 1)GMAT Ninja 2) Delv Academy by
AjiteshArun sir 3)Ron Stewart 4)Few lectures of Karishmaprep/Ana prep
- For Quant I only know of GMAT Ninja and Crack verbal search Aditya sir
- For DI GMAT Ninja is all I know
This will set a standard of what all great stuff is out there, what you need to know why avoiding some prep company, what approach works for you
4. Stick with GMAT club for official questions cause a lot of these prep companies have modelled questions basis OG only after all
5. Now for paid course here are my biased opinions:
-
GMAT Whiz and
Egmat all good for quant but dont like prethinking startegies for CR at all (Beaware of lot of fake reviews here - i am saying this without being their paid student but basis the webinars they put out)
-
Magoosh felt short of covering some crucial Quant concepts
-
TTP tried to overtemplatise CR questions, Quant again missed crucial concepts
- Top 1% felt very self and not great for understanding errors
- Manhattan I didnt do because of cost - but heard good reviews. Try reading their books and Powerscore CR bible to evaluate more
6. If you cant work through a self paced course after your first attempt, switch to a tutor immediately dont waste time on any other course.
Hope this helps.
