A 550 is above the national average. I have seen many posts from individuals on various gmat boards who seem to have jumped into the high 600 and low 700 range from scoring in the low 500's on their tests. Obviously they put in a considerable level of effort. I use those posts to motivate myself and...

I have read some people dont even look at the practice scores right before the test. They just take the test to practice the feel of the test.

Trust me on this...i think if you invest enough time you can learn the basic math that is tested on the GMAT. In reality, its very basic and i am sure everyone did more in high school then what is tested. The key is learning to quickly decipher what the GMAT question wants. Thats the hard part. I am...

Eve...i am the same with math. I highly suggest getting the ARCO's math review and the 5 manhattan GMAT math guides. I am slowly improving my math skills with lots of practice. I couldent even add fractions when i started. 
Damn calculators drained all my math skills.

I start the virtual class on the 31st. I will provide feedback on this forum. I am not fond of online courses , but i have no alternative. So if i end up liking the course that says a lot for how effective the course is.

Let X = Amount of money Invested Step 1) I setup an equation to subtract the amount of money already invested from the total, that will equal the fraction of X which is ...

Thanks for the help Stacey...i signed up for the 31st class. Do you think its a good idea to sign up for the 750 level classes right after this one is finished, or make an attempt and then decide to sign up or not?

I wish i could take the regular course, but my problem is i live in Germany. And with the time difference of the classes (i am 6 hours ahead of eastern), coupled with work, i dont think its a viable option to take the regular class via the internet. Do you think i should work on my own till i reach ...

Stacey, Since i am working through the OG and 7 guides on my own now. Would it be worth it to take the course in addition to going through this material on my own? At what level do your students come into the course? I think i am past the "beginner" phase. And when do you recommend student...

I suppose it depends on your ability to grasp the material. I initially set 3 1/2 months to finish my material, but apparently i didnt study correctly and didnt retain as much information as needed. So i am pushing my test back 6 weeks. They key i found to help me start to improve is taking notes an...
