I'm Ready To Take Your GMAT Questions

For a limited time, I will take any test questions you have on the GMAT, NO CHARGE :-). If you would like to send a question by fax (775-637-8573), the best format to send the question is via a copy of the page with the question on it. If you would like to send a question by e-mail, you may send an e-file (pdf format) of your question or list the book, its edition, page number and question number of the question. In addition to sending your question, also do the following:

1. Provide your first and last name, return contact information (e-mail address, fax, etc.)
2. Along with the question itself, show that you made a reasonable attempt at answering the question on your own.

I will send you my solution to each question by e-mail (pdf format) within 24 hours of receiving your question. I hope this proves to be useful and constructive in your preparation to take the GMAT.

Your GMAT Doctor,
Vanessa

The new approach to GMAT preparation…

Preparation for the GMAT isn’t as important as the SYSTEM you use to prepare for the GMAT. The most effective system will consider three main elements: time, content and strategy. I’ve found that many of the more popular test preparation services use pre-set ways to help students prepare. In other words, every class covers the same content, in the same way and all miraculously, in the same amount of time. But depending on the needs of the students in the class, you may need to modify any one of the 3 elements-time, content and strategy- in a way that is most effective for that particular class. This is what we have done when designing classes for the GMAT; we understand that one GMAT course cannot always be taught the same way as another GMAT course was taught. We devised a system to tailor each class to the needs of our students. And yes, there are many other factors that we have discovered over the years to affect the performance of our students in the class (and I will mention those as the blog matures). We believe we have addressed those factors as well in our classes. In-person classes will be held at the following locations. We will be adding more classes to our roster soon. We are also working on providing courses to companies/organizations that may have a number of employees looking to take the GMAT. Let us know what your specials needs are and we will try to accomodate you quickly. If you would like more information on these classes or are interested in taking a class with us, please e-mail us at gmatdoctor@gmail.com.

With the Start of the New Year...

Preparing and taking the GMAT can be one of the most daunting tasks to complete in order to get into the MBA program of your first choice or second choice or third choice... (You get the picture) :-) I've taught and tutored the GMAT to many students over the last 5 years and have found that 3 of the biggest reasons my students initially dread preparing and taking the GMAT is because:


  1. It requires a huge commitment of time to prepare for the exam.


  2. There's a lack of familiarity or understanding of most of the test content.

  3. There's no systematic approach to handling any and/or all potential GMAT questions.

So the teachers and trainers in my company have discovered new methods, strategies and techniques on how to approach GMAT test preparation with these issues in mind. We thought that a blog was the most appropriate place to introduce our services because we first got acquainted with each other on a blog site :-) We have a wealth of knowledge and experience in designing curricula as well as teaching and tutoring students for the GMAT. And together, we have designed a GMAT course incorporating those new methods and made for the student looking for quality help at an affordable price.


With the start of the new year comes the economic climate that started in the old year. We believe our test preparation services have come along just in time. We are offering in-person full courses for $450 per person per course (a fraction of what the major test preparations companies charge). We also have what we call an accelerator course at $295 per person per course. We have designed the classes for 4-6 students per class only. Currently we have courses scheduled for the Long Island, NY and Allentown, PA (and Greater Lehigh Valley) areas. I will update this blog within the week on specific dates, times and locations of classes as well as where to enroll for the courses. Check back for those and more updates on tips, techniques, methods that could help you improve your score on the GMAT. If you would like more information on course schedules and enrollment immediately, contact me, Vanessa, at gmatdoctor@gmail.com. Thanks.
