gmat course

Hi,

I hve takn GMAT 2 times and my score reached till 640.I am looking for a good course to improve my verbal from 28 to 40.

Experts please suggest whether I should take kaplan advanvced course or manhattan course.
I am thinking to take kaplan advanced course beacuse they need at least 600.

I have already read manhattan strategies book and taken manhattan tests. So I am not sure how helpful it would be to take the manhattan course.

help please

thanks
A

Hi Trtorch,

Before you join a course, I recommend you try to assess your own strengths/weaknesses in Verbal. If you need a course to organize your study-time and provide more structure, then definitely I recommend one of those. But to really achieve a Verbal score in the 700+, you'll need to do a lot more self-analysis regarding your own strategies and study-habits.

Kaplan and MGMAT are both reputable companies, and I am sure their courses are great. But unless you've pinpointed the gaps in your content-knowledge, and how you can adjust your strategies, they might not be as beneficial to you.
