Intro

Testmaster is a test prep courses company, providing live and online preparation for standardized tests, such as GMAT and GRE. The company was founded in 1991 by Robin Singh, a world record recipient of twelve perfect LSAT scores. Besides Live and online courses, Testmaster offers private tutoring packages.

While researching the ins and outs of standardized exams, we found -- when it comes to selecting test prep courses - most students have three criteria: 1. Higher Scores in minimal Learning Time 2. Price 3. Enjoyable Process. Our reviews will examine each prep course in accordance to how well it delivers on these three criteria

How does Testmasters meet the criteria?

Higher score in less time

Both courses, online and live, have an essential curriculum which gives students a solid foundation in the math, grammar, and logic skills tested on the GMAT. This curriculum focuses on techniques such as ‘how to understand the GMAT language’, ‘how to determine which concepts are being tested’ and ‘how to use basic math and English to solve even the most complex problems’. The courses provide a lot of questions, drills, quizzes, and interactive games to encourage participation. All Testmaster students are provided with extensive materials such as a personal set of real GMAT questions and 9 GMAT Paper Tests. 6 of this tests are taken as diagnostics throughout the course and give students important indication about their current level of performance, how they are progressing, and where they should focus their study time.

Another advantage is torturing– each Testmaster student is assigned to a GMAT tutor who offers guidance, monitors progress, and answers student’s questions. All Testmaster instructors are from the 98th percentile. In all programs, students also get three hours of private tutoring, available over the phone or online through the use of shared whiteboards, chat, and Skype.
