Hi Guys,

I am new to this forum. I am planning to take up the Gmat in a couple of months.
I am currently employed in cts and I work in shifts.
After going through a few forums, I decided to take up the Gmat Prep Test to see where I stand.
To my dismay, I ended up scoring a 420 in it (Q-31, V-17). I find DS, SC and CR very challenging.
I am planning to join a Gmat Coaching Class - Preferably CrackVerbal or Princeton. (Please share your feedback on this)
With respect to the materials, I have bought the Official Guide 13th Edition, Manhattan Gmat SC and Kaplan 800.
Any advise and guidance on how to get started with the preparation would be of great help to me...
Thanks in Advance

One thing I would say before entering any program is look at the qualifications for the teachers... They are different at many places and you will want experienced instructors.

Thanks Jim.. A valid point indeed, I have only been reading a lot about the CrackVerbal and Princeton Coaching Centers, CrackVerbal is offering free workshops to get the feel of how the coaching standards are.. Maybe a direct visit would help me understand

I just felt that a coaching class would get me in line before I start preparing for the Gmat..

"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."
