If you are preparing for the GMAT, Varsity Tutors can help you jumpstart your journey by getting you enrolled in a Syracuse GMAT prep course. The GMAT, otherwise known as the Graduate Management Admission Test, is a crucial examination if you are planning on attending business school. Although you may be feeling a bit overwhelmed about the prospect of taking the GMAT, a Syracuse GMAT class can help ease some of the tension. In an online environment, a highly trained instructor will aim to help you gain a deeper understanding of the challenges you will face on the test.
Obtaining a good score on the GMAT can help if you wish to attend a local school such as Syracuse University - Whitman School of Management. Regardless of the business school you apply to, the board of admissions will look at your GMAT score to determine your level of competency in areas that are necessary for success at their institution. A Syracuse GMAT class is an excellent solution if you want to brush up on the concepts and skills that you'll need for the test.
What will I review in a Syracuse GMAT course?
An instructor can help you gain a better understanding of how to approach the four major sections of the GMAT. These sections are the Analytical Writing Assessment, Integrated Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, and Verbal Reasoning. Let's take a look at each of these to get a sense of what they entail.
The Analytical Writing Assessment is a computer-based task that will require you to critically analyze an argument. In the thirty minutes that you are allotted for this part of the test, you must read an argument and provide an organized response to it. In order to succeed in this section, you must be able to evaluate the argument at hand and formulate a coherent response with specific examples to support your point.
In the Integrated Reasoning section, you will be required to interpret information from graphs, analyze tables, and solve equations. Essentially, this section of the exam will test your ability to take in data from several sources, integrate it, and apply it towards the solution of complex problems. Additionally, you will be required to solve two-part analysis problems, in which you must analyze trade-offs and evaluate relationships that exist among data. You will have thirty minutes to complete this section of the test.
The Quantitative Reasoning portion will test your ability to solve mathematical and analytical problems. You will have to apply your reasoning skills to solve complex problems. Further, you will need to exercise data sufficiency skills. This means that you should be able to identify the bits of data that are relevant to solve the problem. This portion of the test consists of thirty-one multiple choice questions over sixty-two minutes.
When you get to the Verbal Reasoning section of the test, you will be required to solve thirty-six multiple-choice questions in sixty-five minutes. In this section, you will have to read passages, evaluate their content, and draw inferences and relationships from what you've read. You'll also be required to respond to critical reasoning problems, which will test your ability to evaluate and develop effective arguments. Furthermore, you will need to answer questions about grammar and proper sentence structure.
How can a Syracuse GMAT course help me prepare?
People from all walks of life can take advantage of GMAT prep. It doesn't matter if you are a young undergraduate with your sights set on a career in business or if you are a seasoned professional with years of experience. Anyone can benefit from these collaborative lessons. You can rest assured that instructors are highly vetted and undergo an extensive interview process to ensure that they are the absolute best. Further, we realize that you have a busy schedule. That's why we've designed our courses with maximum convenience in mind. You can sign up for either a 2-week course or a 4-week course. There are multiple course sections and new sections begin on a weekly basis. Not only that, but these courses are taught in a virtual environment. That means that you can interact with your instructor straight from the convenience of your laptop. Just find a comfortable place, set up your computer, and enjoy!
When you sign up for classes, you can expect an immersive educational experience. You'll be able to collaborate with your teacher and your classmates in much the same way that you would in a traditional face-to-face setting. This type of collaborative setting has been shown to give students a deeper understanding of the topic. Once you get comfortable with this new way of learning, then you and your classmates can focus on topics like reading strategies for the Verbal Reasoning section of the GMAT. If, for instance, you need to ask your instructor a question about the proper way to organize your ideas in the Analytical Writing Assessment, you can even set up one-on-one time with the instructor.

I am a finance and accounting professional at a Fortune 100 firm with an MBA and currently pursuing the CMA. My teaching method would absolutely vary depending on the student. Visual learners need different kind of help than non-visual. For visual learners, I would try to paint a picture of the problem or formula so it is easier for them to understand. For non-visual, I can stick more with formulas, numbers, and memorization. ...
