GMAT Strategy

Hi All,

I had planned to take the GMAT on July 5th, but I have been unable to achieve enough mastery after 2 months of preparation using an online prep company, so I decided to invest in in-person tutoring. I am applying for admission in Fall 2018, so instead of rushing to take the exam, I decided to give myself until the first week in October.

I have worked hard over the past two months, practicing a minimum of 3 hours daily (without fail) -- 2 hours early morning, 1 hour after work -- but only managed to get my practice score up to 680. I am aiming for a 740 and up. I know the frequency of practice necessary, but I really want to make sure I am spending my time practicing the right things, the right way.

I am wondering if there are people who have taken both Manhattan and Veritas in-person, and can talk to their experience with both? A good friend of mine from College used Manhattan to raise his score from 640 to 740, despite a hectic work schedule. I however want to hear about experiences with Veritas, because I see that Veritas allows you take the course more than once, if you need to.

Thanks in advance

Well, you can check out Veritas testimonials here: https://reviews.beatthegmat.com/veritas-prep

My advice - take a free trial class with both and go see which instructor feels like a better fit.
