The first time I took the GMAT was a few years ago and I did pretty poorly (I got a 540, I believe). I studied with Vertias prep and I'm looking for a private tutor. Does anyone have any recommendations for a second time approach? Is it worth taking a second course with a competitor? Is it smart to get a private tutor if I'm making the same mistakes? Time mamagement is my biggest issue. Thank you!

Honestly, the best learning experience comes from a private tutor. You are able to interact with an individual who will make sure you understand each concept as opposed to a teacher making sure that the class covers each topic. Do your homework, and make sure you find someone who is qualified (at least 2 years of tutoring experience and a 99% score).

Recommendations on how to explicitly approach this attempt would be best with more information about how you studied and what areas you struggled with on the exam.

Thank you. That's what I'm thinking. Do you happen to know or recommend any tutoring serives that are located in the Chicago area that aren't over $200 and hour?

"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."
