Took the tests for my preparation. Ended up scoring a a Q50 that was in line with my scores on these tests. Best parts are the succulent explanations and the sounds analysis post the tests. Ability to take the tests multiple times was a plus too. GMAT like screens only added to the exam like experience. I would urge you to check them out. They win my highest recommendation among the non-official prep sources!
(You may take these tests in order to supplement your OG questions. GMATClub Quant Tests are slightly on the higher side of the difficulty spectrum. Hence, they help you punch above your weight.)
Product Square One Prep Hourly Service
Consultant Kathryn Lucas
I opted for an hourly service with Square One Prep - and I am very glad that I reached out to them at an early stage during my applications.
Kathryn went above and beyond in our first "introductory" call as well and gave me so many tips that other consultants would probably not have. She listened to my stories and gave me advices on schools I should target. The call went on for more than an hour - and I felt comfortable sharing my personal stories with Kathryn. On our first call itself, I was sure I wanted to work with her. I went ahead for the hourly service.
Kathryn provided diligent and candid feedback on my previous work - my essays and resume. Her feedback was crisp and actionable. The greatest benefit I got was Kathryn completely quashed my main essay - and rightly so. It got me thinking in the right direction- and now I am telling a completely different story in my next drafts. In fact, some of the stories I had thought were not super useful are the ones which actually highlighted my strengths. Such introspection has turned my application 360 degrees - the different "components" are still there but arranged very well and telling a cohesive story.
Kathryn was very knowledgeable when it came to resumes too. She clearly pointed out my shortcomings- the places where I was "spoonfeeding" too much and the places where there were mysterious blanks.
All in all I would highly recommend Kathryn! If you are looking for someone to get you into your dream school, I would not think twice before choosing Kathryn.
