Let me start off by saying, I've taken a competitor's LSAT course. I hated every second of it. The teacher was inexperienced and I felt like I threw away all my money. I was extremely wary coming into this prep course.

All of the Veritas staff are excellent. My instructor was amazing. She clearly has the experience and the flow of the course nailed down. I never felt lost or confused in regards to how the course was organized. She was approachable and could explain things in various ways so people who learn differently could grasp the same concept.

I came into the course more looking for confidence and the "tricks" of the GMAT. I found both. I decided to wait to take the test for a bit, but every time I email Ashley she is always there to help me out!

Chris is an excellent teacher. He has kept in touch after the course about global questions related to strategy and is very available for any & all types of questions. He understands the material and really works hard to elucidate this to students.

Took the GMAT immersion course w/ Chris Kane this past July and it was fantastic. I went into the course totally cold (didn't do any of the pre-class prep work, didn't take a practice test or even know what exactly was on the test). With Chris' help, by the end of the course, I was comfortable and confident with all sections of the exam and scoring around 700 on practice tests. Thanks Chris!

I knew very little about the GMAT before my course. Ethan clearly knows the test very well and I sought him out for extra math tutoring - my weaker spot - post-course. My course was high quality and I enjoyed learning from my instructor as well as from/with the wide range of learners in my class.

Great course, solid instruction. Recommend this course for anyone taking the GMAT with hopes of getting accepted to a top tier program. I scored a 680 after the course and with a couple of tweaks will no doubt be above 700 when I retake next month.

I travelled from Ireland to attend the course and I was not disappointed.

The course was tough (6 hrs a day for 7 days) but the tutor was fantastic. He spoke two languages; English and Algebra!

Our tutor not only new his stuff (he had taken the GMAT twice and scored 750 + on both occasions) but more importantly he possessed a rare gift of passing on his knowledge in a very patient and memorable way.

A course is only as good as the tutor who is giving it and if you are lucky enough to be taught by Amitt, you are well on your way to scoring 700 +

The Veritas course was thorough and comprehensive.

Amit is an exceptional teacher and I don't know anyone who would disagree.

The Course material, sadly, is not especially good. There are inaccuracies, which can be frustrating. I would still recommend the MBA.com official test as a more accurate indicator of progress than the Veritas ones, or the 800Score ones (which come free with Veritas).

I took the full course twice: once in a super condensed 2 weekend study and once again in the condensed one week study. If you are new to GMAT study and/or have not looked at quant or verbal in quite some time, I do not recommend the super condensed weekend course.

My experience the second time around was very good. Amit is bright and cheerful and really knows his stuff. The pace of the course is very good as well and while the material and attention is demanding, it is very achievable. Both of my classes were small with only 6 of us both times and I personally appreciated that element. Amit did not make any assumptions about the knowledge or practice level of the students and treated us all with maturity and openness.

On a side note, Veritas is a young company and they have some growing up to do as is expected. One of the things I feel is most important is certainly the genuine and high level of caring that the instructors and even some of the corporate staff exhibit. I truly believe that they wanted me to succeed and do well and it really showed, even through some of the growing pains. I found that very valuable.

Overall I would and have recommended the course.

The Veritas 1-week Accelerated Course was VERY beneficial to my GMAT preparation. The material was comprehensive, the teacher (Ethan) was passionate and the facility (Grand Hyatt) was superb.

I feel prepared to take on the GMAT with confidence.
