Our Approach
Once you’ve enrolled into one of 700-GMAT Club’s private GMAT coaching courses, you’ll receive a GMAT diagnostic test consisting of two files: a 37-question GMAT quantitative file and a 41-question GMAT verbal file.
You’ll have to complete the set of questions in each file within 5 days unless you make a special request to us for more time.
- Having completed all the questions, you must email the files back to us. Then, one of the GMAT instructors at 700-GMAT Club will look at your answers meticulously and assess your strengths and weaknesses based on your answer to every question on a given concept and your overall accuracy in each section.
- An appropriate curriculum will be crafted, making sure that it is tailored to your perceived level in your GMAT preparation. Then, we’ll make a schedule that is convenient both to you and to 700-GMAT Club after consultation.
700-GMAT Club has broken the whole GMAT into different modules, each a separate and critical area that the test-taker needs to master in order to perform well.
- In the GMAT quantitative section, an example of a module is Number Properties while, in the GMAT verbal section, an example of a module is Assumption Questions.
- Each module is further divided into subtopics to help you zero in on the intricacies of the GMAT with the aim of having you comprehend and be comfortable with all the types of questions and concepts tested on the GMAT.
- In the GMAT quantitative section, Prime Factorization is an instance of a subtopic whereas, in the GMAT verbal section, Parallel Structure is such an instance.
- Besides teaching you our excellent and unique approach to virtually every type of GMAT question, we’ll make sure you retain the critical information you’ve learned from us.
The following describes our teaching method and GMAT preparation approach that will help you attain your full GMAT potential and perform your best on test day.
1We’ll go over the diagnostic test only briefly though since it was primarily intended to assess your initial GMAT level. However, the instructor will discuss with you your perceived weak as well as strong points and the steps you need to take going forward.
2We’ll hand you out or have you download a GMAT module-verbal or quantitative- that you need to do before your next meeting with the instructor.
3In your second session, your GMAT instructor will go over all the questions -with you – including those to which you found the correct answers just to make sure you did not get them right by chance and, more importantly, to ensure that you have solved them efficiently, well within the time limit.
4Every subsequent session will be conducted just like the second until all the important GMAT modules have been completed.
5At this point, we’ll have you take a timed GMAT test to monitor your progress and gauge your current level. We will, of course, go over the test with great care, then make any necessary adjustment to your preparation.
6From here onwards, your preparation will consist of doing 37 quantitative or 41 verbal questions coming for different modules and testing you on a variety of concepts just as you would see them in the real GMAT.This is indeed simulation time and the more you simulate the real test the better you’ll perform.
7Finally, the GMAT instructor will review all the major GMAT concepts learned and emphasize the all-important test-taking strategies with you along with the psychological aspect of taking a timed test.
- Only 7% of all GMAT test-takers score at or above 700. Yet over 60% of the students who go through our entire class or private one-on-one curriculum earn a GMAT score of 700 or better.
At 700-GMAT Club, we mean business.
Here, we’re not focused on the competition; we are interested in having you reach your full GMAT potential because then there truly is no competition.
Please remember:
We at 700-GMAT Club prefer to work with business school applicants shooting for a GMAT score of 700 or better.Yes, our GMAT services are geared towards ambitious business school candidates who aim at getting a high GMAT score, thus boosting drastically their chance to enroll into a top 20 business program
.It is necessary for your tutor to have earned a high GMAT score (after all, the blind cannot lead the blind); Still this fact alone is not sufficient.
The tutor must possess the skills to teach the GMAT. You can find out about the tutor’s teaching skills by asking her former clients or by having the tutor demonstrate her skills at no cost to you.
By all means, get the right coaching and materials. You owe it to yourself. Let the teacher demonstrate her knowledge, math and/or verbal skills, and approach to the GMAT.
Is the tutor’s approach efficient, or time-consuming and/or energy-sapping? You must be able to answer these questions. Don’t be too impressed by the tutor’s phenomenal GMAT score (very good but by no means sufficient)
.The question you should ask yourself is whether the tutor can help you earn a score higher than the median score of the admitted students of your target business school (hopefully top 20).
After taking the GMAT, you’ll receive four GMAT scores:
1- A quantitative scaled sub score, ranging from 0 to 60 ( 51 being the effective max score).
2- A verbal scaled sub score, ranging from 0 to 60 ( 48 being the effective max score).
3- An overall scaled score, ranging from 200 to 800. This score is the combination of your 0 to 60 math and verbal scores.The 200 to 800 cumulative score is what business schools primarily use.
4- An Analytical Writing Assessment score, ranging from 0 to 6. This is a separate score that is less important than the 200 to 800 cumulative score.
- You will get exclusive GMAT preparation material that covers all the GMAT math concepts tested (example: concepts tested within number properties), categorized, and illustrated. We challenge you to get this material from any other source.
- You will get many GMAT quantitative tests (37 questions each) and 14 GMAT verbal tests (41 questions each) including authentic concepts as tested in the real GMAT.
We’ll also show you how to simulate the actual GMAT with questions identical to those you’ll get on test date and do this as many times as you want for free.
Because we love what we do, we don’t merely teach the GMAT, we also do extensive research on the GMAT. This has enabled us to see things that the average tutor will not.
Our approach is different (evolutionary) yet speedy and truly efficient. Actually, you may never see what we will show you in any book or get it from any other tutor or GMAT site.
We are able to solve, and help you solve, most GMAT questions in under one minute.
Furthermore, we are equally comfortable and absolutely competent to teach both the verbal and the quantitative sections of the GMAT.
Quantitative:
Raw score of 51 = 99 percentile.
Average raw math score = 35.
Verbal:
Raw score of 45 = 99 percentile.
Average raw verbal score = 27.
