STUDY MATERIAL/ENROLLMENT RELATED QUESTIONS


What exactly is the study material made of?

The best books for GMAT have been consulted. After reviewing some 20,000 pages...finally 12 books comrising of 3,000 pages over all have been formed...i.e., best from many material has been taken and clubbed with 20 best GMAT simulations. The entire package has been structured in a way to ensure that an individual starts from the easiest concept and gradually moves on to the difficult ones and in the process, keeps on getting adequate practice of real GMAT type questions. The result is "The Best Possible GMAT Material" :)


Are GMAT aspirants anywhere in the world catered?

Yes. Very much.


Is the material sent in one go?

No! The motive is not to simply give away the material. It is to ensure that students are rightly benefited. So you would not be forgotten after dispatching the material and would keep on getting guidance mails from me. Remember, it's not just material...it's guidance from nought to cent!!

To ensure that the improvement is optimum, you are sent material for only one stage at a time. When you're 80-85% through with the very material, you would need to fill a form (provided by me online) mentioning number of correct attempts out of number of total attempts. You would also need to fill your scores in each of the softwares.

Based on your scores in the practice sets and simulated GMATs, a detailed personalized mail suggesting the right plan of action along with the next stage material would be sent.


Should some other material be used?

No, a kind request.


Are there enough practice sets?

Yes! Twenty Computer based tests and thousands of actual GMAT like questions.


Can one opt for just the study material and not guidance at a lower price?

Sorry, no half-baked guidance. :)


Can just the simulated GMATs be taken

Sorry. Reason, same as the one above.


How much to pay?

In India : INR 9,700 (Including transportation charges)
Outside India : $ 700


How to pay?

You will need to transfer the amount into an account. Once you do so, within one business day I will courier you the Stage-I books and GMAT simulations.

Kindly call me/Aanchal/Anand once and have a discussion before enrolling. We will evaluate your profile, chart out a plan of action for you and give the details for transaction.


Any discounts available?

Sorry. Cannot charge different people differently..charges are standardized.


Can the amount be paid in two installments?

Sorry.


Isn't a trust factor involved?

Yes, but then, you're going to be my student and not a customer. I would anyway not like to mentor someone who is lacking trust in me. It's something serious for me as I intend to be atleast partially involved in this venture for rest of my life.


The price is too low. Has the quality been compromised?

Yes, the price is very low but the quality has NOT been compromised. In fact, I have been as finicky about quality as Aamir Khan was for making of Mangal Pandey (Read-Humour). However, I can assure that the product is better this time :)

The reason for low cost is that currently I wish to increase the penetration. Once that's done, one would not find the same price...don't you think you're too lucky to be reading this now? :)


How am I managing from Boston?


Am mentoring. For all academic queries, I am available online and for all the technical ones such as sending the material, changing the address for correspondence etc, Vinay (in India) is available online, over phone and if you are in NCR, even personally.

Moreover, since I form a personal relationship with each of my student through e-mails, you can directly contact me in case of any technical difficulty.


But then mate...you don't find time in B schools..will you find time to answer e-mails?

In the academy, we used to run 10 KMs everyday, study 4 hours, play 3 hours and late night, stand on our hands for 2 hours...and yes...sleeping four hours used to be a luxury...more questions?? :)


COURSE RELATED QUESTIONS


What all will be covered?

You will be guided from nought to the day you enter a decent B school. You will keep on getting the study material stage-wise, my guidance mails periodically and the best simulated GMATs. Once you get your GMAT score, I will guide you for University shortlisting, recommendation letters, application essays and B school interviews.


Will the queries be answered?

Yes. No matter in which part of the world I am, I would keep on answering your queries. When you enroll, you'll be given Expert GMAT's official ID for putting queries.


How will the performance/improvements be tracked?

The entire study material has been trifurcated into a well thought of pattern viz. Understand, Practice and Master. Right material has been put at just the right place.

To ensure that the improvement is optimum, you are sent material for only one stage at a time. When you're 80-85% through with the very material, you would need to fill a form (provided by me online) mentioning number of correct attempts out of number of total attempts and your scores in each of the softwares.

Based on your scores in the practice sets and simulated GMATs, a detailed personalized mail suggesting the right plan of action along with the next stage material would be sent.

This way, a track of performance of each individual is recorded and personalized guidance is provided-section wise and within sections, topic wise.


How will improvement in Analytical Writing Assessment be tracked?

A very valid question!! The simulated GMATs you take will give you scores in only Quant and Verbal sections. To know your level of AWA, you can send me two pairs of essays and I will give you a detailed feedback along with the tips to improve on AWA.


Will the application essays be written by me?

No! Nobody can write other's essays and an honest advise: do not make others write your essays. The right approach is to identify key areas in your profile and put them in essays. Form a link among what all you have done in life, what all you intend to do and how an MBA at this stage is going to help. Get reviews on your essays from few sensible heads and proof read it 7-8 times.

I will help you identify the key areas that you must highlight and will review your essays and tell the scope of improvement.


Will name of exact universities for applying be given?

Based on your profile and GMAT score, I would give you brackets for dream, playground and safe universities. I would recommend you few universities and would ask to research on the brackets that I give you.


What if more material is required?

That doesn't happen usually. If you can simply study all that I give you, nothing else would be required. However, if you need more, you'd just need to write an e-mail for the same. Based on the record of your performance, more relevant material would be sent to you for no extra price.
