GMAT Tutoring

The GMAT is a difficult test. Although the test is based on high school level math and English, many students have not used these concepts in years. Furthermore, GMAT questions often incorporate these concepts in a subtle manner, essentially testing your critical thinking skills rather than your knowledge of certain rules.

The GMAT can be a challenge for even the most advanced students. With the adaptive test format, question difficulty varies based on performance. Those performing well need to consistently solve tough questions under the same time limits.

Top performers in the business world have coaches. Top performers in athletics have coaches. Those who aspire to top performance on the GMAT need a coach as well. The GMAT is a challenging endurance test, like a marathon, that requires lots of preparation. According to GMAC data, students who scored in the 600s spent an average of 107 hours and students in the 700s spent an average of 121 hours preparing for the GMAT.

Make the most productive use of your study time. It is not productive to review the tested concepts in a haphazard manner. It is not productive to approach problems in a long, roundabout manner when more efficient approaches are available. It is not productive to spend excessive time on a given practice question. It is not productive to make the same mistakes over and over. It is not productive to develop bad study habits. In order to study productively, let us help.
