I actually just started the class on Sat. so I have not had the full 9 sessions or taken the actual test yet, but so far I like what I see. The classes actually appear somewhat helpful because the instructors are very knowledgeable and you can leverage off of fellow classmates. The structure is actually why I signed up for the class, they give you homework for 9 weeks (and its rigorous) out of their study guides. Whats good about this is that it forces you to stay on top and finish the study guides in a timely manner, and when you do you will be far more knowledgeable on math and verbal topics than just studying or doing questions from OG and Kaplan books. They also give you problems from OG 11 on a weekly basis, so you can practice timing drills, etc with that.

What I have noticed is that the course really focuses on learning the material and not just simple test strategies and tricks (like kaplan and PR do) so you get a good fundamental understanding of the material, which I am pretty sure I was lacking last time I took the test. All in my early indication is that the course will help me stay focused and learn a lot more in a quicker time frame so that once the course is over I can focus on CAT tests and timing drills from OG questions to get my stamina up.

Hope this helps, Ill post more over my course if others dont....the only downside is the class is pricey, but still cheaper relative to the other online programs

Thanks for the post. Yeah Im interested in starting in maybe in the next month or so. I took Kaplan never ended up taking the exam. I need more structure I have almost every book written but I need homework and someone to hold me accountable type of thing.
Did you take any exams before you started the class?
The class was like $900 right?
please kee me posted how it goes.

thanks
