    I would Personally not Recommend this course to anyone as of now becoz of technical Issues i have Faced...
    I have faced Technical Audio Issues with the Veritas...I Could only attend just one class in the Beginning and in rest all other classes i couldnt hear anything due to audio error..Veritas uses complex elluminate services for class and i kept discussing my issues with David and Technical guys but none could help me...They just kept on saying me sorry better luck in next class, but they cant help this time....Another Great problem is all the Live online courses were Non Friendly to IST..I had to attend class at 6:30 am just to login and find that i will not be able to attend class coz i have again faced audio error...I complained to Elluminate guys but they also couldnt help..Veritas Kept on Shifting my class from one batch to another....Its recently that they found issue was from Veritas side....The only one nice person i found in Veritas is Marrisa ..She is Really very Helpful Lady and tried her Best to help..

    Worth IT!
    The Veritas Gmat Prep Course is WORTH IT!

    The course is structured very well, it has 15 books, and is broken down buy books for easy studying.

    The teacher made a big difference also, Bobby is amazing, he keeps the class alive and in learning mode! Its very hard to fall asleep in his class, which is a really good thing.

    The location of the course is also very well thought of, it is walking distance from Union station. Very easily accessible!

    I would highly recommend this course, because the breakdown, structure is well done along with the books.

    P.S. I took the course twice, once last year and once this year. Due to certain circumstances I was not able to write the GMAT exam yet.

    GMAT prep full course
    I have just taken the Veritas GMAT prep full evening course back in June as I need at least 700 in GMAT for my PhD application. Without any previous knowledge about the GMAT, I started with the materials that I have got from Veritas. The 15 books have been designed in a way to build up the knowledge and prepare you to master the principles step by step, which is a perfect way of learning for people that have never done GMAT before.

    The venue is in one of the conference room in Hilton Hotel at central London, which is convenient for me to attend after work. The class size is around max 8 people per session, which is a very good size for in-class discussion and doing exercises.

    My tutor is Amit Kakkad, who is 'the bible of knowledge'. He teaches me not only the basic principles, but also advanced techniques to beat the GMAT questions. He also helped me understand the importance of using different approach to different types of questions and now I can develop my own shortcut to the actual problems. He also uses his humor to help me remember key principles and avoid mistakes.

    After I finished the course, I feel confident and ready to book my test.
    I'll recommend Veritas GMAT prep course for anybody I know and also my fantastic tutor Amit!

    Intensive Hours
    Compared to other courses this offered the most amount of classroom hours for the price. Also Neil is incredibly smart and help write the verbal review. From my initial practice test I improved on the quant section but moast notably on the verbal due probably to Neil and the Veritas class.

    Veritas & Bobby as your instructor is wise investment for GMAT
    I participated in Veritas full course 2 times, the last time was in Feb 2010. Fortunately my instructor was Bobby, who is very knowledgeable, cool and organized instructor. Trough the course Bobby thought us each and every details of GMAT (verbal and Math section) and showed us all the possible pitfalls that you can fall in trough the exam. I specially was really interested in Bobby`s Golden Rules, which helped me so much in the GMAT. I would definitely recommend him to anybody who wants to prepare for GMAT. I improved my Math score from 35 % to 85 % thanks to those golden rules, and I am starting my IMBA in Shulich business school in fall 2010. Thanks to Bobby, and Veritas corporation.

    Better Study Strategies
    Prior to taking the GMAT the first time, I thought I was a smart kid who had done well in high school math course and who's political science degree would carry me through the GMATs Math and Verbal sections. After taking the test the first time with only self-guided studying, I realized that my math was rusty and my verbal strategies were not sufficient.

    I reluctantly signed up for the Veritas prep course, but immediately realized its benefits. The course was a great mix of review (re-learning the math that I was good at 10-years ago) and of strategy.

    Further, my intructor made himself very available to students; both in person as well as via email. In the days leading up to my exam, my instructor was very quick to respond to emails and provided me with a few excellent pieces of time management advice that dramitcally helped calm my nerves and improve my performance.

    In the end, the course material, homework, and in-class teaching helped me to increase my overall score by over 100 points.

    A comprehensive experience to the GMAT test.
    Located in a London hotel, the GMAT preperation course was undertaken over a period of a few months in the summer of 2009. As it was the first time that I had prepared for the GMAT I was fortunate enough to meet my tutor Amit Kakkad, who was not only helpful in teaching me the basic fundementals to GMAT but also the more difficult task of guiding me through very difficult GMAT test techniques and questions.
    Although my test was much more difficult than I had imagined I felt that I had been well prepared for the questions and this is through the quality of the teaching which I experienced as a student of Veritas Prep.
    Although I have no experience on other GMAT courses personally, through my research and asking fellow colleagues on other GMAT courses I found that the Veritas Prep course in combination with my excellent tutor was a leading factor in helping me get the GMAT results that I wanted.

    Prep Teaches Discipline
    The methods taught are extremely useful and although I bombed my test thanks to an awful verbal score, my review/prep was not blame; I would highly recommend this prep course to anyone taking the GMAT.

    Great Course - Good Value
    I would recommend Veritas Prep to anyone who wants to take the GMAT exam seriously and score a high score. I have already recommend it to a few of my friends. The teacher was very good and clearly enjoyed teaching us the techniques, skills, mindset and approach one should have when taking the test. I liked the fact that he would use a lot of stories and metaphors to explain key logical concepts.
    The books and teaching materials are very well written and extremely comprehensive, and there is also an online version of them that can help when revising. There is an abundance of exercises all designed to give a true representation of the real exam and increase familiarity with key concepts.
    The location in London was very comfortable and in my case very close to where i live. In general a very well designed course that can help you achieve a great score. One piece of advise I would like to offer is to take the test within 2 to 4 weeks after completion of the course as a lot of the concepts start to fade away with time. Also work hard during the course and do all the exercises. Finally make sure on the day that you stick to what you have learned and use all the breaks given to you (i went straight to the verbal part of the test and it did affect me as i was to tired..). Good luck!

    I was very pleased with the instructor and the course
    My review is solely based on the instructor. Neil M. is an excellent teacher. He truly cares about his students, and is very intelligent. He has the capability to break down the subject matter, and teach it very effectively. Since I have never taken a gmat course with anyone else, I have nothing to compare it too..but the one thing I can say, I took an SAT prep course with Princeton and it sucked. Veritas is much better. Good luck!
