Hi Guys,

Looking to start Gmat prep from June 1st. Little bit of background...out of school for 10+ years and planning to take gmat in Nov or Dec 2014. Shooting for 700+. I have Manhattan gmat used guides along with O.G 12 & 13th edition. Aristotle S.C + Powerprep CR book.

Question is- I am thinking to take an online study course to give me the structure and discipline in the prep. I have shortlisted - Magoosh and empowergmat course. Which one do you think is best to provide complete prep. I intend to first get the content down and then strategies and then pacing.

Feel free to suggest your comments/Inputs.

Thanks for all your help.

Hi mickey80,

Regardless of how you choose to proceed, it's important to take a full-length practice CAT at the beginning of your studies so that you can get an immediate sense of your strengths and weaknesses. Most Test Takers don't do particularly well on the first CAT (since there is material that may seem unfamiliar and most Test Takers aren't yet trained to handle the endurance/pacing aspects of a full GMAT) but it's still important to take that first CAT.

If you have any questions, then feel free to contact me directly.

"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."
