Strengths:
The course provides free access to essential GMAT study materials, including The GMAT Official Guide, six full-length official GMAT practice exams, and the GMAT Navigator practice tracker with full solutions for the main Official Guide. This means you don’t need to purchase these resources separately—they’re all included to support your studies. Additionally, the Dynamic Question Set Builder is a great tool for targeted practice, and the complete GMAT Strategy Guide Set (with especially strong Quant guides that cover all the basics) is also provided.
Would make the product better:
As a non-native English speaker, I found the verbal section of the GMAT particularly challenging. Unfortunately, the course didn’t place much emphasis on this area, and if I remember correctly, we had very little focused instruction on the verbal component during live sessions. If a wider variety of problems had been discussed during class, it could have been really helpful in building a stronger foundation in verbal skills for students like myself.
Broadly, The course offers free access to critical resources, including The GMAT Official Guide, six full-length official GMAT practice exams, and the GMAT Navigator practice tracker, all with full solutions for the Official Guide problems. This comprehensive support saves on additional costs and ensures access to the primary study materials needed.
The Dynamic Question Set Builder is another helpful tool, allowing for targeted practice tailored to different skill levels. I also appreciated the full GMAT Strategy Guide Set, with the Quant guides being especially thorough in covering all the basics.
However, as a non-native English speaker, I found the verbal section challenging. While the quant-focused materials were strong, I wish the course had placed more emphasis on verbal reasoning, especially with varied practice questions and additional live session coverage of verbal topics. This would have been a valuable addition, as I felt more support was needed in this area.
Overall, the course is well-structured and resourceful, especially for those looking to build a strong foundation in quant. Some extra attention to verbal training could make it even more effective for a broader range of students.
