655+ GMAT Course

Week 1: Data Sufficiency, Critical Reasoning, GMAT Algorithm & Strategy

• Dive into Data Sufficiency problems, a cross between math and logic.
• Learn how the test is structured, how the scoring algorithm works, what Executive Reasoning is, and how to use all of this to maximize your study for the GMAT.
• Learn the building blocks of all Critical Reasoning problems: Conclusions, Premises, Counterpremises, Assumptions, and more.
• Gain an overview of your resources and homework so that you can make the most of your study time.
• Diagnose holes in your Math Foundations and begin solidifying your fundamental math skills.
• (Pre-class) Take your first official practice test.
• Join our private GMAT Community Forum and sign up for 1:1 Coaching (all included in your tuition). Ask questions, get answers from teachers, connect with fellow students, and let the Community and your Coaches help you keep motivated and moving forward.

Week 2: Stats 101, Tables, Reading Comprehension, Know the Code

• In the first of two Stats-focused lessons, learn about average/mean, median, mode, standard deviation, and correlation.
• Dive into Tables, one of five DI problem types. Learn how to sort, eyeball, estimate, and manipulate voluminous data as efficiently as possible.
• Learn how to analyze Reading Comprehension passages efficiently and tackle main idea and other big-picture questions about the passage.
• Know the Code: How do you teach yourself to recognize (in less than two minutes!) what a problem is really telling you and really asking you to do? Learn how to learn: how to decode problems and get yourself to takeaways that you can carry through to the real test.

Week 3: Fast Computation, Assumptions, Fractions, Ratios & Strategies

• No calculator on the Quant section? No problem. Learn how to do fast, on-paper calculations and estimations without sacrificing accuracy.
• Fractions, Decimals, Percent, and Ratios (FDPR) underlie a lot of the math you do on the GMAT and in your everyday life. This first of two FDPR lessons covers the fundamentals for both the Quant and Data Insights (DI) sections of the exam.
• Learn what Assumptions are and how to dig them out of Critical Reasoning (Verbal) and Two-Part (Data Insights) arguments.

Week 4: Algebra, Graphs, Reading Comprehension, Practice Test

• The first of two Algebra lessons covering equations, exponents, and more, as well as GMAT strategies (working backwards from the answers, trying real numbers, and more).
• Tackle math-based Graphs, one of the five DI problem types; also gain a grounding in non-math-based Graphs.
• Get more specific on Reading Comprehension passages: Learn how to tackle detail, inference, and other specific question types.
• Boost your decision-making skills. Start doing sets of problems, rather than one at a time, to practice your time-management and prioritization skills.
• (Post class) Take your second official practice test.

Week 5: Data Sufficiency, Strengthen/Weaken, Percents, Fractions & Ratios

• In this Advanced Data Sufficiency lesson, learn how to approach problems with confusing math and seriously tricky traps.
• Learn how to Strengthen and Weaken arguments, which can appear on almost any Verbal or DI problem (most commonly on Critical Reasoning and Two-Part problems).
• Dig deep on the complex Percents, Fractions, and Ratios topics that appear across all problem types in the Quant and DI sections. Successive percent change? Three-part changing ratios? Ratios disguised as fractions and vice-versa? You’ve got this (or you will after you’ve done this lesson).

Week 6: Algebra, Inferences, Multi-Source Reasoning

• Expand your algebra skills to include quadratic equations, inequalities, functions, and more. (And continue to practice / solidify your earlier lessons across both algebra and Fractions/Percents/Ratios).
• Inference shows up in nearly every problem type, so this week includes a short refresher on inference skills in preparation for next week’s practice test.
• Multi-Source Reasoning is the ultimate blend of math and verbal skills; literally everything you’ve learned so far could show up on MSR. Learn how to tackle these overwhelming problems cleanly and effectively.

Week 7: Stories, Statistics, Two-Part Analysis

• This week is 100% Math-based.
• First up: Statistics and Stories, including how to translate words into math, how to crunch numbers (fast!) without a calculator, and how to reason your way through a problem using the theory / concepts so that you can avoid a lot of calculations in the first place.
• Tackle tricky Quant-based Two-Parts, including those with the dreaded “jointly consistent” characteristic.

Week 8: Mid-Terms! Review Everything, CAT Strategy

• It’s time for mid-term exams! In preparation for your next practice test, this entire lesson is devoted to mixed, random sets covering anything/everything you’ve learned so far, teacher’s choice. Come prepared to dig in and learn.
• We’ll also talk about time management, guessing strategies, when to move on, all of the strategic decisions you need to make during a test.
• (Post class) Take your third official practice test.

Week 9: Visual Solutions for Hard Math, Advanced Reading, Analyze Your CAT

• Learn how to map, sketch, and draw out solutions on certain types of really ugly math problems. (Well, they would be really ugly if you tried to solve using “textbook” math. But don’t go there.)
• The most dense, convoluted text is reserved for the hardest Reading Comp and Multi-Source Reasoning problems. Learn how to cut through the obscurity and pluck out the polished gems you need to get to the right answer.
• Analyze your data from last week’s practice CAT and come up with takeaways that will let you avoid the same errors next time.

Week 10: Number Properties, Logic Problems, Advanced Math Stories

• Dive deep into Number Properties: divisibility, primes, remainders, probability, and other “fun” characteristics that can really mess you up when trying to solve.
• Learn how to master Two-Part and Data Sufficiency logic-format problems, a subset of Inference in which you’re given a series of rules or constraints that you use to draw conclusions about what else either must or must not be true.
• Some of the toughest math problems are Walls of Text with complicated stories and math that you’re not even sure how to translate, let alone solve. We’ve built this lesson to teach you what to do even on the hardest of the hard.

Week 11: Mixed, Timed Review of Everything

• Let’s do it again: Your teacher will toss anything at you that you’ve learned to date (which is pretty much everything). You’ll also discuss time management and other strategies leading into your next practice test.
• (Post class) Take your fourth official practice test.

Week 12: Analyze Your Data, Develop Your Post-Course Game Plan (and More Review!)

• Your live class sessions are almost over, but your program and teacher are still here to support you. Today, your teacher will guide you on how to use the data from your most recent practice test to build an individualized study plan for the next 2-3 weeks, focused on the best opportunities you have to lift your score.
• Learn how to build your optimized Game Plan to hit your peak scoring ability on Test Day (aka, Game Day).
• If you haven’t already been on our private GMAT Community forum, join now!
• (Post class) Take your fifth official practice test.
