Beat The GMAT Practice Questions

The Beat The GMAT Practice Questions, will be/ was (depending on when you are reading this) today.

Granted, I wasn't able to go through all the questions, but I've gotten a good 'feel'. Here's an overview of the features:
  • More than 700 GMAT math/verbal practice questions
  • Every GMAT practice question features a video explanation for the given question, written/produced by a veteran GMAT instructor
  • Completely online practice - study at work or at home, without carrying books around
  • Ability to customize your prep based on subject area, with just a few clicks
  • Performance reporting to identify your strengths, weaknesses on GMAT subject areas
  • Adaptive practice algorithm that mimics the real GMAT -- the better you do, the harder the questions become in your practice session
  • 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee if you're not satisfied
I am not going to waste too much time sharing my thoughts on the course. I love it, and i think it's well worth the $99. At the end of the day, all said and done, what really makes the difference between potential and how you perform on test day is how much effort you have put in. Not how much material you have covered, but how much you have practised. I'll try and explain this with a football analogy. I may know how to dribble, do a drag-back, nutmeg an opponent, play a long ball, but at the end of the day, what matters is how i use all these skills on match day. If i run straight into a competitive fixture having just practised the skills alone, I will end up looking like a bumbling fool. Only the hours I spend on the training field and friendly matches will help me star on match-day. 


You'll have noticed that the last bullet point in the features overview is in green colour. Why? Because that's your signal to go for it. You have the option to try it and see for yourself whether you think it's worth your $99! Enuff said!


Edit*: Turns out there's also an ipad give-away. 3 ipads up for grabs! + limited time offer: $50 discount


What are you still doing here? :D

    Coming Up - Beat The GMAT Practice Questions & Kaplan GMAT Advanced

    Two GMAT products (or should I call them services) that I am very excited about are the Beat The GMAT (BTG) Practice Questions and the Kaplan GMAT Adavanced course.

    First up is the BTG Practice Questions, which is due to officially launch on November 02, i.e. next week Tuesday. This weekend i'll go over the 200 or so questions that have been loaded into my reviewer account, and hopefully I'll be able to give y'all my feedback by the launch day. Plus there are some freebies that I will be giving out courtesy Beat The GMAT, so watch out for that.

    Next up, and something that has me smacking my lips in anticipation is the Kaplan GMAT Advanced course. There are so many of the 'one-size-meets-all' course offerings out there, but what is in short supply is the course that caters to those who have already done significant prep and are looking for the extra something to shift their prep to top gear. I think this course could be THE ONE.

    And before you ask, I haven't forgotten - i will also be posting my review of Grockit & Knewton sometime down the line.
