Why should I prepare for the GMAT?

	Studies indicate that applicants who prepare for the GMAT score substantially higher than those who don't. In addition to the admission process GMAT scores are also used in the process of awarding financial assistance to students. A good GMAT score can save you thousends of dollars in tuition. The importance of GMAT scores in the application procedure is likely to increase. That developmen t is reflected by the recent comment of dean Feldberg of Columbia Business School, who stated that it is the school's objective to raise average scores of incoming students to 700 over the next few years.

I have to take the GRE. Does your course help me?

	Currently, we are not offering a separate GRE course. However, due to the similarities between those tests and the fact, that they are both administered by ETS, GRE takers will also benefit from attending the course. The GRE offers foreign applicants the advantage that quantitative/analytical/verbal scores are separated, so that a lower verbal score will not affect the overall score. Since the GRE is designed to measure also the verbal abililities of American Literature students, schools are almost disregarding the verbal score and focus only on the quantitative and analytical part (unless you apply for literature or a similar subject, of course). If you are given the chance to take either the GMAT or GRE, we highly recommend taking both and deciding afterwards which one to submit.

I have studied mathematics/physics. Should I still take the course?

	Even while some of the standard techniques might be a repetition for you, many parts of the course focus on more advanced and lesser known techniques to speed up the accuracy of your answers. The course contains many aspects which are neglected in the studies of mathematics at university. For example, do you know how to find out the remainder of a number when devided by 17?
