OUR GMAT EXPERIENCE

Each 1-on-1 GMAT tutor has spent hundreds of hours studying, understanding, and teaching the GMAT. The shared knowledge and insight of our highly experienced GMAT tutors goes far beyond the information available in any one mass-marketed GMAT course or prep book.

• Fact or Myth? "The GMAT is getting harder."

1-on-1 GMAT Insight: The subject matter areas tested on the GMAT have not changed. What continues to increase, however, is the GMAT's emphasis on critical thinking and problem solving skills over pure content knowledge - making the GMAT seem harder for most people.



• Fact or Myth? "GMAT math is just high school math, so if you did well in high school math, you'll have no problem with the GMAT Quantitative section."

  1-on-1 GMAT Insight: According to ETS, only 'basic math concepts' are tested in the GMAT Quantitative section - concepts covered in the curriculum of most U.S. high schools. However, the way the GMAT tests basic math knowledge is quite different from the way most high school exams test math knowledge. Not surprising, many people who did very well in high school - even those continuing on to calculus in college - struggle to score high in the GMAT Quantitative section.

  
  
  
• Fact or Myth? "The 'best' GMAT sentence correction answer should sound the best."

  1-on-1 GMAT Insight: Sentence Correction questions in the GMAT Verbal section test the rules of formal grammar - NOT the rules of everyday writing or speaking. In fact, for some of the trickiest Sentence Correction questions on the GMAT, the 'best' answer sounds downright awkward to most people.
