CURRICULUM

We have meticulously categorized the topics to give you a clear view of how the GMAT math exam is designed. For each topic, we have developed a set of our own proprietary lecture notes (sample notes) to help you retain the concepts and techniques. You can choose the topics you need help with, or we can give you recommendations based on our consultation.

Session Timeline
Each session is usually scheduled for 90 minutes. Below is a sample timeline of a typical session.
Time Activity
0-15 minutes You ask any questions you may have from the previous lecture or from the assigned homework. If there are no questions, we dive right into the new topic.
15-80 minutes New concepts will be taught based on our proprietary lecture notes. We make sure you understand the concept by having you apply the techniques to a problem solving quesiton, a data sufficiency quesiton, or both. We analyze your thought process to identify anything inefficient you are doing.
80-90 minutes We recap the new concepts and assign you targeted problems from the Official GMAT Guide and from our lecture notes.
