MGMAT Virtual versus Veritas Classroom

nislam

After a frustrating day after being rocked on the actual exam (470, 36 Quant & 20 Verbal) I've decided to take a course. I was consistently scoring 580+ on MGMAT CAT, Powerprep and GMAT Prep. The only difference was that I didn't do the essays in any of the practice tests. The other problem was the I over ran my break after quant due to PR's incorrect advice on preparing the scratch pad. This cut 6 min off verbal causing me to panic and then rush through some parts of verbal.

Anyways, has anyone had experience with either MGMAT Virtual or Veritas Classroom. I would take MGMAT in a heartbeat but they don't offer classroom courses in Houston. So now I'm facing a dilemma. Which is better virtual or live classroom?

I can't speak to the Veritas class (though the company's reputation is good).

There have been several people who have gone through the MGMAT virtual course in this community, and the general consensus is that it is great! Here's one testimonial: http://www.beatthegmat.com/my-mgmat-experience-t4562.html

My roommate is currently going through the MGMAT virtual course too and he absolutely loves it. Please note that as a Beat The GMAT member you're entitled to a 10% discount, http://www.beatthegmat.com/discounts.html

Another option is Princeton Review's online course. I took it and it rocked. You can chat real-time with the instructors; I can't tell you how awesome that was. They also track your progress and tailor the lessons to your performance so you can focus on weak areas. You can still do any drill whenever you want, but that was still really useful. I loved it.

You can sit in on the first class of one of our virtual classes for free to test it out and see if you like it! It's obviously a bit different than sitting in a real classroom, but most of my students really like it - there are always two instructors in the classroom at all times, so you can ask questions in the chat window to one while the other is talking. You can also ask questions privately if you don't want to ask in front of anyone. And the class sessions are recorded so you can review anything you want later.

We ask students at the end whether they thought the virtual platform was less effective than, as effective as, or more effective than a real classroom would have been, and the responses are usually 1/3 more, 2/3 as. It's rare for someone to say less.

Of course, that doesn't mean it would work for everyone. Sign up for the free trial class to see whether it would work for you! Smile

Oh, Veritas also provides GMAT classes? I thought they are admission consultant.
