Veritas Prep On Demand (online self-paced) Review:
I only had about 2 months before taking the GMAT for the first time and was looking for a quality course with the flexibility to study on my own schedule. I put in about 3 hours a day for 2 months, taking a break for Thanksgiving and the week leading up to my test. Before the course I took an official GMAC practice test and two days later took a Veritas practice test that ended up 60 points lower. During the course, I slowly improved and my 3rd and last practice test with Veritas matched my original GMAC practice test. Most students score within about 30 points of their highest score, and I felt that would be the case as I was taking the test. To my surprise, I actually improved another 60 points over my prior best score (+120 from my first Veritas practice test), landing me comfortably in the middle of Top 10 school scores.
While I haven't taken another course to compare it to, including their classroom option, Veritas Prep On Demand was everything I was hoping for. In fact, I passed up another classroom course a friend was taking that was half the price because of what Veritas offers. It was flexible: I could take it at 5 a.m. or midnight, for 10 minutes or 6 hours. It was digital: I felt like it was as close to the actual test experience as possible. It was highly rated on Beat the GMAT and GMAT Club forums. I also loved the year of access just in case the score hadn't turned out as I hope. But it did! I hesitated at first because of the price being higher than almost any other program I looked at, but being on the other side now, it was worth it for me! read more
