A Holistic Approach
The Simply Brilliant GMAT course takes a holistic approach and emphasizes the best strategies for maximizing your score. You will learn how to:
- Structure an effective study
plan to acquire all the
“hard skills” and “soft skills” you’ll need to succeed - Master the strategies for every question type
- Build speed and perfect your pacing
- Train your brain to get into “the zone”
Recommended Materials
Following are the materials I
recommend. Only the Official Guide
(12th edition) is essential for the
class. The least expensive place to
order everything is www.amazon.com.
Many of these books are now
available as ebooks. The Official
Guide and other GMAT books are also
generally available at Barnes &
Noble stores, too.
- The Official Guide (12th edition) – a big maroon book published by the GMAC, the organization responsible for the GMAT exam
- The Official Guide Quantitative Review (2nd edition – a green book) and the Official Guide Verbal Review (2nd edition – a blue book)
- The 8 Manhattan GMAT books (Word Translations, Number Properties and Sentence Correction are the 3 most popular; be sure to save money by ordering them as a set if you want all 8)
- Manhattan GMAT Foundations of GMAT Math
- Veritas Prep Data Sufficiency (book VIII) and Combinatorics & Probability (book XII)
- Manhattan GMAT Test Simulation Booklet w/ Marker
- The MBA Application Roadmap by Stacy Blackman
In the first session, you'll receive
my 10-page GMAT document with tips,
resources and math review, as well
as a document with sample AWA essay
templates.
GoToMeeting
Simply Brilliant’s GMAT classes are conducted online using GoToMeeting. GoToMeeting is easy to use and free (I pay for the subscription), and it offers a whiteboard and PowerPoint sharing. You can use a headset connected to your computer to take advantage of GoToMeeting’s Internet audio (VOIP), or you can call in by telephone. Call-in phone numbers will be U.S.-based numbers that will likely be non-local, long-distance calls.
Headsets
A variety of headsets are available. One inexpensive option is the Logitech ClearChat Stereo 3.5mm Connector Supra-aural headset available for about $15+tax/shipping at www.newegg.com. Check www.amazon.com for more options.
