there are 13 study sessions in the Newton program. each session has two preasssesments (usually 10-15 questions), two lectures (between 1 hour and 90 minutes each) and 2 HW assignments (usually around 15-20 problems).

there are also 6 CAT exams that you need to take.

I completed all of the work in 5-6 weeks doing a little bit each day.

if you took the actual GMAT exam, then that will be your baseline score. you only need to submit it to them if your score doesnt increase 50 points (and you finish all of the material).

Hi Nick,

dav35 is pretty much on point in these replies, but just wanted to confirm with an official response. We'll have you self-report your baseline score, which would be your score from the April 28 exam. We won't ask to see anything official unless you initiate the process to claim your guarantee after you've taken the test again, in which case you'll need both score reports.

The core work part of the program is possible in about a month, but you'll be working very hard. There are about 36 hours of classes in the core curriculum, plus another 40-50 hours worth of required homework assignments and quizzes in addition to the 6 tests (~18 hours). That's basically the bare minimum -- lots of other video lessons/assignments/quizzes to complete that aren't part of the guarantee, but still very helpful.

Good luck on your test in a few weeks -- hopefully you'll hit your goal and you won't even need to think about this stuff! Smile

Jen

Hi Jen

I am preparing for GMAT, would like to take Knewton Practice test first and then decide to take Knewton course. Can Knewton consider the score received in the Knewon Practice test as my baseline score?

Regards,
Jay
