GMAT Class

Hi All, Have any of you ever taken a Kaplan GMAT course? If so, how did you like it and did it help you out with a higher score? I took the GMAT last year and bombed (very good on math, but a huge failure on the verbal section - and yes, I’m a native english speaker). Just want to get an opinion or two before I dump like $1200 on it. Thanks

i would recommend mgmat. I haven’t taken it myself, but heard great things from the program.

check out gmatclub.com, they have a section that compares different providers.

I never took any GMAT class. I used MGMAT books extensively during my prep and can’t recommend them enough(each book is only like $25 and comes with 5 CATs online, you just can’t beat the value). For my sentence correction and reading comprehension, I used MGMAT books. And for critical reasoning, I used Powerscore CR Bible. They are much more cost effective and will absolutely get the job done on verbal along with OG, IMO. I got 99th percentile largely thanks to my verbal score, and no I am not a native speaker and I speak and write $hitty english.

You’ll find good reviews about Manhattan GMAT(Is that the same thing as MGMAT?). Most people will recommend against mixing together material from different providers.
