I am of the impression is that GMAT Tutoring/Classroom can help someone get to a 700.

However scoring in the Top 1%ile has to do more with building strategy around individual stengths/weakness than learning more content.

I had to respond to this post!

What an interesting idea you have of private tutoring. GMAT tutoring should not be like tutoring for a math test. GMAT tutors should be focusing on strategies and methods and techniques. The student should really spend time mastering content, such as geometry formulas, outside of sessions.

In fact I would say that if I had to sum up private GMAT tutoring in one phrase it would be (quoted from above) "building strategy around individual stengths/weakness."

Actually this is the biggest difference between taking a class and getting private tutoring. A class will cover material that should help everyone. The tutoring is specifically focused on the strengths and weaknesses of the individual.

That is one teacher/ tutor's opinion anyway!

"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."
