GMAT Review Course

For those who need to review the type of math on the GMAT and to learn the basic strategies for the Math and Verbal. Particularly useful for people who have been out of school for a while, who have not taken exams recently, or who were never strong in math. Three hour classes meet typically once a week for 6 weeks in the GMAT review course. The six classes are:

• Arithmetic and Algebra Problems
• Word Problems & Math Shortcuts
• Geometry Problems & Graphs/Chart Questions
• Data Sufficiency Problems
• Sentence Correction Questions
• Reading Comprehension/Critical Reasoning Questions

With eighteen hours of classes, the GMAT Review Course offers ample time to review not only the material covered in the GMAT but also test-taking skills and strategies, including very practical hints and shortcuts on how to answer the questions. Spots in these sessions are extremely limited so we encourage you to register early.

Testimonials

“Most of us have not thought about algebra, geometry and theoretical math for years. Luckily, this course focuses heavily on the math sections of the GMAT. The teacher (Frank Allegra) was excellent. He reviewed a massive amount of material while keeping the class engaged. This course was critical in my preparation for the GMAT. ”
Tom Waltz, MBA Anywhere Program, Class of 2009

“I attended the GMAT Weekend Intensive Course a week before I took the test. The course not only reinforced what I had been studying, but it also introduced me to new strategies. I would highly recommend this class to anyone who either hasn't started studying or who wants to learn techniques that aren't found in most GMAT prep books. ”
Victoria Seidner, One-Year MBA Program, Class of 2009

“When I first considered pursuing my MBA, I reviewed the requirements to apply and experienced a wave of panic regarding the GMAT. It had been 14 years since I graduated college, and I hadn't taken an aptitude test since my SATs in high school. My first attempt at independent study was filled with frustration and upset, and I knew I'd be in some trouble when it came to this exam, especially the Math section. (When was the last time I used the Pythagorean theorem or factored a trinomial?) Frank Allegra's GMAT prep course was a lifesaver. He covers in six classes what equates to years of pre-college Math and English, most of which has been forgotten due to lack of use. Frank also manages to keep the class entertained with his teaching style. I would definitely recommend his prep class, especially if you've been out of school for a while and need some freshening up on the basics. ”
Susan Schwartz, Professional MBA Program, Class of 2010

“ Anyone with a busy lifestyle who is concerned about having enough study time should definitely invest in the classes. Taking the classes meant spending at least three hours a week prepping for the GMAT test. My second tactic: Schedule your test for the week after the last class so everything is still fresh. ”
Kevin Turcotte, One-Year MBA Program, Class of 2007

“ I just wanted to thank you for your help with prepping for the GMAT. I did not take the test before the class, but I am sure that my score was much better than it would have been had I not taken the class. I took the test last Saturday and scored a 700 (39/88% Verbal, 47/81% Quantitative, 700/92% total, 5.5/83% Analytical Writing). My one suggestion for future students would be to manage their time on the Quantitative Section. I was running out of time and had to guess on the last five questions. I'm not sure I would do any better taking the test again as I have a tendency to have to get the answer before moving on to the next question. Another 10 minutes I think probably would have helped tremendously! The verbal section I finished with about 30 minutes left.”
