GMAT Strategy

This past weekend I had the opportunity to take the Veritas Prep weekend class. I must say I was completely blown away. I had always been in the camp that a prep class was not necessary. While I do believe it is possible to score between 650-700 without a class, if you want to score 700 plus, I would go with Veritas. They have the best verbal preparation in the business. The biggest issue most self-study students have is finding accurate verbal. Veritas Prep has the most accurate verbal in the business. After doing your verbal homework you have a great feel for the look and feel for how GMAC words its questions.

Another advantage that Veritas Prep has over other prep companies are the quality of their instructors. In addition to having instructors that scored in the 99th percentile, their instructors are good teachers. They really breakdown complex concepts and make them easy to understand. One example is when we were going over Critical Reasoning and many in the class were having difficulty understanding assumption questions. Our instructor went through a difficult example and broke down why each answer choice was wrong, what we were thinking when we chose a wrong answer, and how to ensure that we wouldn't make that same mistake again. I feel that the reading comprehension strategy was amazing. They equip you with a system that will enable youto handle both the short and long passagesin an efficient and concise manner. While other prep companies will have you waste time writing out an outline or a sketch. Veritas gets you used to approaching the reading comp passages in a very systematic way. They also do an outstanding job of dissecting the question types. Reading Comp was one of my weaknesses but I now believe that I am equipped to kill the GMAT verbal section.. If you can afford a class, I truly believe you would be best served by going with Veritas Prep.
