I used Chris ~2 hours each Sunday for 4 weeks leading up to my second GMAT. I had taken the GMAT once in July after studying for two months and received a lower score than anticipated. I realized that I was nervous and my timing was all off. I met with Chris and explained what I felt I needed (e.g., help with timing, some common frameworks to apply and just general cheerleading). He understood me and my learning style immediately and from the first lesson helped me focus on target areas and study smarter. He helped me figure out my study plan each week and set target dates and scores for CATs. I told him my goal was to break 700 but he felt I could aim higher. Two weeks before retaking the GMAT, I was already breaking 700 on the CATs. He showed me how to improve my timing and just made me feel much more confident in myself and my abilities. I took the GMAT a second time at the end of October and felt so much more confident and in control than I had the first time. Chris had confidence in me and told me that as long I felt well and was well rested I would break 700. I got a 730 and couldn't be happier. I can't recommend Chris enough - even minimal time with him can have a big impact.
