Hello, so about a year or so ago I took the GMAT and scored 450. I did study by myself but didn't study correctly. I couldn't answer the math problems in 2 minutes so left many questions blank.

I have two electrical engineering degrees (BSEE and MSEE) so I have taken hard tests in the past.

I am at a loss to pick either Veritas or Kaplan in person. I am old school so like in person teaching. Both are offered close to me. I am leaning towards Kaplan.

Any thoughts on which I should take? I would like to score into the 600's at least and maybe high 600's.

Thoughts?

I'm not unbiased here, but here's my advice: most companies will let you sit in on a trial class before asking you to make a commitment. Do that for both classes you're considering. See which one resonates for you. Then make an informed choice.

"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."
