I found the GMAT course to be extremely helpful in reacquainting me with math skills needed for the GMAT. My instructor was responsive to our questions and took the time to conceptually explain problems to us while teaching us efficient methods to get problems correct with high accuracy. I would strongly recommend the course to prospective business school applicants.

I learned more in the 16 hours of personal instruction last weekend than any GMAT book could ever teach me. (My instructor) was one of the best instructors I've ever had. His ability to relate the material to everyday applications was phenomenal. I am going to recommend this course to all of my friends taking the GMAT.

I enjoyed the weekend course.  I feel it helped me to prepare for the GMAT and I got a lot of great tips.  The instructor was helpful and knowledgeable and explained the material in a manner that was clear and useful.  I would recommend the course to others who are preparing for the test.

The PowerScore GMAT weekend class was an invaluable tool that helped me focus on strategy and preparing for the exam. The instructor was very knowledgeable and kept the class on pace so that we covered all of the essential material. He gave his personal insight and advice with regard to my GMAT preparation plan, and answered all of my questions thoroughly.

Trent Cumming

"I was skeptical about the PowerScore Weekend GMAT Prep Course because PowerScore wasn't as popular as the Kaplan or Princeton review courses. The price of the course was also unbelievable in comparison to the hours being offered. This course was powerful! The instructor was superb! I would recommend PowerScore over any other prep course program on the market!"

Tomika L. Taylor
New York City, NY
"I am writing to let you know that with the help of your course, I raised my GMAT score from a 470 to a 610! Now, I can go to the school I want to go to. Mark, the instructor, was encouraging, knowledgeable and interesting. I highly recommend this course to anyone trying to increase their GMAT score."

Stacey Nelson

"The PowerScore classes were great. I learned a lot about the GMAT and its questions. The instructor was very helpful, he took time to answer everyone's questions and gave easy to understand explanations. I'm going to take the GMAT in about a month. The classes will definitely give me an advantage for the test and I'm sure that it will help increase my score. Thank you, PowerScore!!"

Darrin Romanski

"The PowerScore GMAT Preparation course was a good investment. The instructor performed a thorough review of course materials and made the information easier to understand versus studying entirely on your own. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone considering taking the GMAT."

Rachel Thomas

"I was so happy with this class. It was hard to give up a whole weekend to prep for the GMAT, but it was completely worth it. I am so thankful for your program."

Amy White

"I was amazed that I never looked at my watch during the entire 16 hours. My instructor was able to keep my attention on the material throughout the entire course."

"Before I took this class, I would study for hours by practicing problems from a book I had bought online. I would encounter a problem that I would not be able to solve and become frustrated. After my PowerScore GMAT class, I realized that all that studying I was doing was not really that effective. Although it was good to practice problems, I truly wasn't maximizing my time. After the class, my instructor showed me many techniques and simple ways of breaking down each question to bite-sized chunks that are easier to manage. The techniques I learned are absolutely invaluable and I have already begun to incorporate them into my studying. Not only would I recommend this class to anyone taking the GMAT, next time, before I take a standardized test of any sort, I will be taking a class from PowerScore."

Kaveh Astaneh

"After taking the PowerScore GMAT preparation I feel that I can now effectively study for the test. So much valuable insight shared by the instructor. Gave me a very good understanding of what will be expected from me on test day!"

Scott Sullivan

"The course was very informative and helpful! It provided tips and strategies for taking the GMAT. After taking PowerScore's class, I feel more confident about getting a good grade on the test next week."

Allison Powell

"Excellent instruction, the instructor seemed to know the exact weakness we needed to work on.
The materials were a very easy read, not too much, not too little, a great supplement to the Official GMAT Guide we received."

Carla R. Ross
Chicago, IL
"I found this course extremely helpful. I had tried a number of practice tests prior and as a result of this course I understand a lot of my errors and believe I will be able to answer questions much quicker than before. The instructor kept the class interesting and was able to keep the class interested for two eight hour sessions, which is pretty impressive. This class teaches how to answer the GMAT questions, and I think it was very worthwhile!"

Linda Murray
New York City, NY
"I found this preparation very informative. The organization of the course provided a breakdown of each question type which helped to make study time more efficient. I also feel that the review of the basic concepts and the necessary formulas was also key to a better GMAT score."

Wendy Wagner

"Excellent tool, very effective for preparing for test."

Robert C Jorgensen

"I am very pleased with the weekend GMAT review course that I completed this past weekend in Novi, Michigan. It was paced well, priced well and provided an excellent review base."

Lisa Spink
Detroit, MI
"This course is not only a good refresher on what you vaguely remember but also covers all of what you still do not know. The class material was very thorough and the teacher was patient. Our particular instructor was not only knowledgeable but also entertaining, a trait you'll find to be a blessing during a long sitting."

Gary Sulski
Atlanta, GA
"This class was a great value, and definitely gave me a solid idea of what I need to do to get what I want out of the GMAT. It put the test in perspective and let us take back some control over this test."

"This course is an excellent way for students to prepare for the GMAT."

Matthew A. Koch
Dallas, TX
"I could not have asked for a better instructer. Bob presented the information in a concise and informative manner and has provided me with clear sense of how I must prepare. I highly recommend this course for individuals who have not yet begun to study, or are looking to solidfy and brush up on sections they feel could use improvement.
Thank you for your help."

Brad Nassar
Chicago, IL
"The PowerScore GMAT Weekend Course was great. The instructor gave us the inside scoop so to speak about what to focus on, how to tackle those hard to read questions, and how to organize our responses. I can't believe I took the test without having taken this class first."

Rita Nesan
San Francisco, CA
"This course is essential for any student that looks to boost their score. While it teaches GMAT criteria in the verbal, math, and essay sections, it also teaches endurance and stamina. All of these elements are vital in order to conquer the GMAT."

Jordan Smith
Atlanta, GA
"I would really recommend this course to everybody, it provides you with the basic tips and tricks that you need to know, provides you with important formulas that you should memorize and summarizes them on few pages for faster access. But don't think that once have taken the test you will be ready and don't have to practice on your own, because the class just prepares you for the beginning of your studies. So be disciplined and study at home. It is difficult, and I am not good at it either. To all of you, good luck and take the course it is a good investment!"

Andrea Riszdorferova
Washington, DC
"I was very skeptical about taking this class but I have to say that Barbara was fantastic. I feel so much more confident after taking the class, and the inside information that Barbara provided is priceless. Though the weekend left me a little tired, I am thrilled I signed up for the class. Thanks so much for this incredible service!"

Christa Avampato
Washington, DC
"After not being in the classroom since 1997, I needed a refresher that would activate the deeply buried knowledge from my many years of school. The PowerScore GMAT prep course this weekend demystified GMAT and most of all gave me a suite of tools to use when I take the test in a few weeks. Lee was exceptional; he was most knowledgeable and professional, yet patient!"

Joycelin Cayetano
Los Angeles, CA
"I raised my GMAT score 36% after taking the weekend course! The course really helped me determine what areas I should focus my studies and provided structure for my preparation."

Kevin Moore
Atlanta, GA
"Prior to attending this weekend course I had no idea what to expect on the GMAT. After attending, I feel I know exactly what to study for and what to expect on the test. The instructor was exceptional and I had an easy time staying alert and attentive throughout the 16-hours due to her enthusiasm for the material. She thoroughly explained what was expected from the GMAT administrators regarding the test and also helped review all of the stuff I hadn't looked at since 10th grade!"

Hilary Doyscher
Minneapolis, MN
"I learned a considerable amount of information about the GMAT, and the analytical portion was invaluable to me. I could have used the entire two days just working on the analytical sections! It has been so long (20 years) since I have done any substantial amount of math. The instructor was very good to work at a pace that took every skill level into account. His explanations were clear and concise, and I would highly recommend the class."

Jay Olsen
San Francisco, CA
"The course was great because it offered a great review in a short period of time. It was also very affordable when compared to other programs. The instructor was very enthusiastic and witty which helped the long hours of geometry go by more easily."

Raluca Christou
Philadelphia, PA
"The PowerScore preparation course helped me prepare for the GMAT test. It has been almost 20 years since I have used much of the math we are expected to know for the test. The PowerScore course and the instructor who taught our weekend course are excellent resources for achieving an excellent score. I would like to thank both the instructor and PowerScore."

Ural Daye
Boston, MA
"The Sat/Sun PowerScore classes were great. I learned a lot about the GMAT and its questions. The instructor was very helpful, he took time to answer everyone's questions and gave easy to understand explainations. I'm going to take the GMAT in about a month. The classes will definitely give me an advantage for the test and I'm sure that it will help increase my score. Thank you, PowerScore!!"

Darrin Romanski
Cleveland, OH
"I felt this was an exceptional course. I know even with diligent studying, I would not have been as prepared for the GMAT had I not taken this course. The course has given me more confidence as I approach the GMAT - the information in the materials and the techniques shared by the instructor are excellent. The math section seems much less formidable. I'm excited that I will be more prepared than the average person taking the GMAT. Materials: The materials are clear, useful and have great examples. Instructor: The instructor made somewhat dry material interesting and was a good motivator. He was a bit sarcastic and funny, but this helped make the day go faster and keep us all alert. "

Maya Corey
Chapel Hill, NC
"I had Barbara as my instructor and I have to say--her methods were very effective for me to understand how to manipulate the GMAT. I learned so much in those two days--it was definitely worth it to give up a weekend! I have already recommended it to a few of my friends who are looking to take a GMAT review class. I really cannot say enough good things about this class! "

Marlene Lacher
New York City, NY
"I think that people thinking of taking the GMAT are crazy not to take this course. There are so many simple strategies that can give you an edge."

Kevin Armstrong
Seattle, WA
"This course was absolutely the best value for the cost. I just took the GMAT, two days after I took the course, and raised my score over 100 points. I would strongly recommend this course to anyone looking to raise their score."

Ryan Hutchins
Boston, MA
"The instructor was easily one of the most effective and impressive teachers I've had. He had excellent communication and teaching skills. I definitely picked up some great tools to help both my studies and my exam performance. On a scale of 1 to 10 - I would rate my instructor an absolute 10."

Molly Weiss
San Francisco, CA
"I sought recommendations from friends on what class to take whether it be the Princeton Review or Kaplan, but found Powerscore on the web and recognized the value. Now my friends are questioning their investment after hearing about my experience and reviewing my material. A GREAT value and the best in the business! The instructor was amazing and taught the most practical approaches. She avoided the 'gimmicky shortcuts' I hear about all the time and enforced the concept of 'working smartly.' "

Mark Kummer
Chicago, IL
"The instructor demonstrated his knowledge of the GMAT subject matter as well as showing a significant amount of enthusiasm and encouragement. He was very respectful of those older individuals, which might have not encountered this material in a number of years."

Rick Newland
Chapel Hill, NC

LaShawn Williams
Washington, DC
"The class was very informative, I don't see how (or why) people take the test without taking a class like this first to prepare. The study guides can only teach you so much. I believe this class is a necessity for people, especially those that need to brush up on their math skills."

Shannon Dalbec
Chicago, IL
"This course gave me a much better base for studying and understanding the use of math and vebal shortcuts while at the same time helping you to understand and evaluate the best way to attack each question. I have learned a lot for someone who has been out of the academic environment for years."

Jamie Gannon

"I got so much out of the PowerScore GMAT preparation class, which I attribute to two things: the energy and personality of the teacher and the organization of the material. The instructor let us know that the class is designed to give us techniques to apply to our continuous studies and it did just that. I now feel that I have a solid foundation for the test and will be confident going in to take it in three weeks!"

Jennifer L. Wisneski
New York City, NY

I would recommend this course to anyone preparing for the GMAT in the near future."

Aaron Pitone
Orlando, FL
"The course helped focus on the way questions would be asked, which alleviated some fears going into the test. It also highlighted areas that I needed to study more, and worked as a refresher on topics which I had hoped to forget for the rest of my life."

Doug Surch
Chicago, IL
"I hadn't been in a College course in 8 years, but decided that I could self study enough to do fair on the GMAT. That plan didn't work out too well. Taking the PowerScore course was a great decision. The course helped bring forth the repressed memories of Math and English that I thought I would never need again. The tips on how to take the test and the training on how to view the questions was great."

David A. Power
Nashville, TN
"The weekend GMAT course offered to me the best framework to prepare and improve my score. One of the best aspects of the course is getting all you need in 16 hours at a more reasonable rate than from other GMAT providers. In addition to the above, the instructor was more than outstanding in presenting the course clearly and systematically. He knew what he was doing and answered all questions excellently."

Edwin Agbonyitor
Washington, DC

Kelly Quesada
Los Angeles, CA
"The weekend course was very helpful in allowing me to relearn information and concepts that I have not dealt with in a long time. I took the course because I needed a review and some direction, also because of my class schedule I was unable to take a month long course. It was a lot of learning in two days...Overall, the course was informative and I really appreciated it."

Kiyoko Clark
Nashville, TN

Jim Campbell
New York City, NY

Because of Ken, I am calm, informed, and confident that I have the skills that are needed for success. Thank you!"
