Hi All,

I appeared for GMAT a month ago and my first experience wasn't a pleasant one. I scored 540 (Q - 40, V - 25), AWA - 5.0 on the actual GMAT. I am weak in verbal and was never able to get past 30 sectional score.

I don't want to repeat the same mistakes in my second attempt. Can anyone please guide whether it is worth to join GMAT coaching institutes? I am thinking of having my own study plan and join a coaching institute.

I have heard that Princeton Review and Jamboree are quite good.

Please respond your help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Vikaas Mehra

Vikaas,
Not sure if u prefer self study or attending a class. If u feel more comfortable attending a class then yes. I have read a good review from a Princeton review class room user.

If u think u can manage with self study:

Sentence Correction: Manhattan GMAT sentence correction 3rd edition

Critical Reasoning - Powerscore GMAT sentence correction bible

Reading comprehension : Any GMAT prep book should be suffcient

Regards,
Cramya

Dear Cramya,

I have gone through OG11, Kaplan & Manhattan GMAT SC guide. I just want to me sure shot for my next attempt. I think guidance would make a difference in the preparation.

I want to know whether these institutes teach something new or not.

Thanks,
Vikaas

Please do not join Princeton review classes in India, for sure. I have taken the course and it serves the same purpose as visceral belly fat.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
