What topics could a New York City GMAT course help me learn?
The GMAT is an electronic exam that uses Computer-Adaptive Testing (CAT) to adjust the difficulty to a student's needs. If you're answering everything correctly, the questions get harder. If you miss a few, they start to get easier. In all, there are four sections on the GMAT: Analytical Writing Assessment, Integrated Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, and Verbal Reasoning. There is some flexibility in which order you tackle these sections in, so try to pick something that gives you the best possible chance of success.
The Analytical Writing Assessment is a 30-minute essay prompt requiring test-takers to evaluate an argument. The argument provided to you can be about virtually any topic, but you aren't expected to incorporate prior knowledge into your piece. Instead, you're scored on criteria such as topical analysis, clarity of expression, argumentation, and syntactic diversity. You're really under the gun on this section, so you should outline your response before you start writing it so that you have a plan to follow.
The exam's Integrated Reasoning section is a practical exam measuring how well you can apply academic knowledge in a professional setting. You have half an hour to answer 12 multiple-choice items, most of which require multiple responses. There are four types of questions on this segment of the exam: multi-source reasoning, two-part analysis, table analysis, and graphic interpretation. Multi-source reasoning items require you to draw information from text sources, graphs, and tables in order to answer the question. Two-part analysis problems require you to find an answer that satisfies two sets of conditions. Table analysis questions assess how well you can work with computer-based spreadsheets. Finally, graphic interpretations measure how well you can read different types of graphs. This section is scored on a scale from 1-8.
The assessment's Quantitative Reasoning section evaluates your analytical thinking, data interpretation, and quantitative problem-solving skills. You have 62 minutes to answer 31 multiple-choice questions that may be divided into two categories: problem-solving and data sufficiency. Problem-solving items require you to use provided data to answer math problems. Data sufficiency questions entail determining when you have been given enough relevant information to solve a problem, bearing in mind that some of the material provided may not be helpful at all. This section is scored on a scale from 0-60, though most test-takers land somewhere in the 6-51 range.
Finally, the tests Verbal Reasoning section measures a test taker's knowledge of English language conventions. You have 65 minutes to answer 36 multiple-choice questions that fall under three categories: sentence completions, critical thinking, and reading comprehension. Sentence completions require you to select the most grammatically-correct option from the answer choices provided. Critical thinking items measure how well you can craft and evaluate arguments and other plans of action. Reading comp questions measure how much of the information you read sinks in, including the ability to draw inferences based on a reading passage. This section is scored on the same scale as the Quantitative section above.
How can taking a New York City GMAT course help me build my skills?
Your New York City GMAT class consists of you, your teacher, and a handful of other students preparing for the exam. You might think that having other students in the virtual classroom is a negative, but it's actually a positive. Our live virtual platform allows you to interact with your fellow students just as easily as your teacher, allowing you to help each other out as needed. If one of your peers picked up a great time management technique somewhere, they can share their wisdom with the rest of the class. Some students also find it easier to learn in a more collaborative environment because the discussion helps them further their understanding of key concepts. For instance, you might brainstorm how to outline your Analytical Writing Assessment together before actually doing it individually. When you're finished, you can share your outline with your classmates for some constructive criticism.
Having multiple classmates also delivers superior value for your money, as you can split the cost of expert test prep to make it more affordable. If you ever feel like you may be falling behind, you can also arrange private study time with your teacher to get back up to speed.
We understand how busy you are, so we strive to make attending a New York City GMAT class as convenient as possible. We offer two- and four-week class sessions to help you find something that works for you. We also launch new classes every week, so you never find yourself in that awkward position of just missing out on the class time you wanted.
