Course detail + discount availability

by piyushk » Mon Jul 26, 2010 6:57 pm
Hi,

I want to know the offerings from Veritas for GMAT preparation. I'm not looking for personal tutoring.

What options are available and for what price, discount?

Are there any trial classes for me to check before I register/pay?

Please respond.

Thanks, Piyush

Hi Piyush,

Thank you for your inquiry! We offer numerous course options, both in-person and online (Live Online as well as a Self-Paced GMAT Online). Our in person courses are offered in a variety of formats including weekend, weeknight, Saturday only and Accelerated courses. Veritas Prep's in person courses are located all over the world and our live online courses are offered on different schedules to meet the needs of students in various time zones.

We do offer Free Trial Classes in select cities that students can attend before enrolling in a course. Where are you located? I'd be more than happy to point out a Free Trial Class for you as well as specific courses that will hopefully work well with your schedule. As a member of Beat the GMAT, you will receive a 10% discount on all of our GMAT courses.

If you'd like to speak further with someone about finding a course that will work best for you, don't hesitate to call us at 800.925.7737.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best,
Marisa

There currently isn't a scheduled Free Trial Class in Chicago, but we will be adding an upcoming class on September 7 at 7pm.

Hi Marisa,

Thanks for responding.

Some more questions:

For Complete Course Live Online:

1. For the 25 hours/week of toll free phone support - would Veritas respond to questions other then their material/CAT?
2. How to get additional hours/week once the provided 25 are used?
3. Is there any registration or hold required for 25 hours/week of toll free phone support? in short the accessibility & timings
4. what if I would still require a month's help after 6-month period?
5. Any additional homework materials other than the 15 of Veritas Prep's GMAT strategy guides?
6. is there any tracking tool to see the progress before, during and at the end of the course?
7. would the practice problems be based on the weakness of an individual or common for all?
8. How much does it costs?

Thanks for the trail class registration invite. However as September 7 is a weekday I'm not sure if I would be able to make it up or not. I would prefer not to block a seat for now.


Thanks,

Hi Piyush,

No problem. Hopefully I've answered your questions below (numbers correspond to your questions).

Complete Course Live Online:

1. Yes, we'd be happy to.
2. The phone support lines are open 25 hours a week. Outside of those 25 hours, you can submit an unlimited amount of questions through email and you can also take advantage of the Veritas Prep forum to get your questions answered.
3. No. There is no need to reserve space ahead of time. When the phone lines are open, you can call the number directly and speak with an instructor. We have enough instructors operating the phone lines that there is rarely a wait.
4. We are happy to work with you to extend your access time to the online resources. Additionally, you can enroll in another course schedule at no cost.
5. Certainly. In addition to the 15 lesson books, which contain in total well over 1,000 practice problems, you will have access to 15 CAT exams and 7 midterm diagnostic quizzes, the total of which adds approximately 2,000 practice questions to your resource bank.
6. Our Midterm Diagnostic Quizzes are designed specifically to do that - help you track your progress through our academic lessons so that you can return to concepts or question types that require additional practice before you move on to more-difficult or simply different topics. In addition, the 15 CAT exams will help you to track your progress, not merely on score alone, but also regarding pace, comfort level with the test interface, etc.
7. Our problems are available to all students, as each student can stand to improve on questions in different ways (improve accuracy/understanding of weaker areas; improve speed on stronger areas; minimize mistakes on stronger areas; etc.), but via our CAT exams, Diagnostic Quizzes, and instructor guidance, you will receive targeted feedback to guide you through our wealth of resources to maximize the value of your study time and energy.
8. $1200, but you will receive a 10% discount

Self-Paced GMAT Online

2. See above
3. See above
4. You will have access to Self-Paced GMAT Online for six months. The duration of the time spent studying varies per student depending on the pace that you move through the material. All fourteen of Veritas Prep's in-person classes are covered in Self-Paced GMAT online.
5. See above
