Do students get any practice doing the full GMAT exam during the course?
The GMAT is a computer-adaptive test that uses a scoring algorithm. As the course emphasizes face-to-face instruction, students are referred to online practice exams that can be done independently. It is recommended that three to four practice exams be completed after the final session of the course.
Does the instructor provide written feedback on the Analytical Writing Assessment samples prepared by students?
The instructor will provide comments by email.
Is it acceptable for a student to miss the first class?
A student who misses the first class will have to catch up on the material covered through the workbook provided. If time allows, it would be preferable to register for a class where all sessions can be attended.
If I miss a class, can I re-take it during another offering of the course?
Yes, provided the class isn’t full and understands there may be some overlap due to course pacing.
How much study time is recommended after completing the course?
It is recommended that the average student take at least three weeks to study before the exam and after the last class including trying multiple practice exams.
I’m not satisfied with my test score - can I repeat the course?
At the present time, there is no free course repeat policy. Discounts may be offered on a case-by-case basis.
