Take a practice GMAT to see where you stand before spending $1k on a course that you might not need
Anyone use Magoosh online?
I did- thought it was fantastic
Will vouch for Manhattan. Much better than the other shit I used
Don't need prep course but to each their own. Will say the regular Manhattan study prep books were legit
I took the GMAT about 6yrs after school and did really well, no classes or anything. Verbal was way up from SATs long ago, but math dropped as I didn't remember any advanced trig/calc formulas and such.
My advice: keep the $1000 and get some free math study kits.
$1,000 online?! It used to be $1k for the weekend course. I bought the book package and online package for about $300 and it was worth it. If I had it to do over, I'd do the in-person workshop.
It's actually 27h over 9 sessions online or in person. Not bad right?
Oh ok, that's not too bad. I used Manhattan and liked it. My classmate uses Veritas and he said it was great.
Check with your firm, I know my big 4 gives us good discounts.
My current firm (non-B4) offers I think $300 off that Manhattan prep course. Not bad?
Pay for it. Don’t waste your time studying on your own. Maximize your score from the beginning
I have unused GMAT books (entire manhattan set plus like the 3 gmat brand books I think) last year edition sitting under my bed. RIP my dreams of grad school! But if you pay for the shipping I will mail them to you.
Take a timed and an untimed diagnostic. If your score is within 50 of your target on the untimed or 100 on the timed, don’t for a course. Just self study. A good target is prob 25%ile for your reach schools
If you’re in DC, Sherpa prep is phenomenal.
