Powerscore Prep Course Versus ManhattanGMAT prep course!

If you're weaker in Verbal, I would say PowerScore would be the way to go. Most people on here downplay the MGMAT verbal guides while speaking highly of the Powerscore Bibles. However, I actually haven't heard of anyone taking the PowerScore Course itself. I am enrolled in the MGMAT course, and there is definitely a larger focus on Quant.

Thank you very much for reply. Actually same perception many people have but the point is what additional Powerscore can offer in Classroom setting which is not given in LG Bible, CR Bible annd Rc Bible. If they have something additional then it will make sense otherwise one can study thoroughly the bibles. Don't you think in same way? We need the limits of powerscore.

As far as MGMAT is concerned, they are definitely the Quant Geeks but I also find some techniques very good like detailed map of RC passage. Put some light on MGMAT's course's strength and weekness. as you are already enrolled in MGMAT.

vivecan2005,

yeah I'm not too sure about any of the PowerScore classes, but if you decide to take one please update us all on how it goes! That's one company that I don't know anything about.

I can talk about MGMAT though -

- Regarding RC - I haven't gotten that far in my class yet. I think we begin to tackle RC in a couple weeks. I'm trying not to go ahead and just stay on pace with the class. If I find that I have extra time during the week, I just review the previous guides.

I'm not sure how my MGMAT syllabus compares to other companies programs, but I will say that it's a TON of work. It's a lot of work just to get through, but if you want to go the extra mile and actually comprehend the material it's easily 3+ hours a night. Each week a whole Quant study guide is prescribed along with Official Guide questions, and the OG Quant Review questions pertaining to each topic.

Then there's Verbal which isn't as intense. I find it calming to actually read words and not variables or numbers, after going through the whole guide. This past week I had to do a couple chapters from the SC guide along with the OG questions, and just chapter 1 from the CR guide with the OG questions.

There was also a video that we were to watch and follow along with, but I didn't get to that as I think it's an hour and a half long. I'll watch it tonight though.

In terms of Strategy... well... to that I say.. we're still learning the basics. I update my blog with a more colorful perspective of the class. I will be updating it tonight should you choose to follow.

It may be easier for me to answer questions rather than ramble... cuz... i can DEFINITELY ramble.

Cheers!
