Hi,

Post signing up here I stuck to a self study plan....started off with the Manhattangmat 12th edition strategy guide....have been on it for more than 2 months now.... but have only reached at a score of around 500 on tests.... I'm planning to take up regulated coaching....considering kaplan on demand . Any suggestions for good coaching ?
I am also considering GREEDGE - https://www.greedge.com/.... Ive heard good reviews about this place....
although its operated from india the dedicated trainer gives you a direction for the work to be done and goals to be acheived...My only concern is...How much can i rely on a GRE course to train me for the GMAT? Their pricing looks very appealing... does GRE and GMAT follow the same levels of quant and vebal?

Plssss guide me .

There is some similarity between the two tests in terms of the general content, but the two exams are very different.

You are better off with anything that is GMAT-specific. Almost all of the big providers have "on-demand" options at this point. The GMAT course reviews can be seen here https://reviews.beatthegmat.com/

Donot see the rationale of using GRE for GMAT. Would you practice hockey for football.

Highly recommend BTG's Free 60 day study guide. this combined with 12 hours from a private tutor at the very end got me from a 550 --> 710. I followed it to a T and did most of the optional questions as well, practice makes perfect...or close to it!
