GMAT Private Tutoring in London

Private tutoring provides a bespoke, flexible option for GMAT preparation. It is ideal for those whose schedule does not allow them to attend a group course, or who prefer a one-to-one approach to learning. GMAT tutoring sessions will be tailored to your needs based upon your own specifications and requirements, plus the results of a diagnostic test which you will take before starting your tuition. Kaplan's GMAT tutors are test experts and will work with you to improve your score in the areas where YOU need help.

GMAT Tutoring Packages in London

Group Course or Private Tutoring—Which is the best option for me?

Can’t decide between one of our group courses or individual lessons? If you have never taken the GMAT before, or are not sure where to start with your preparation, we recommend you take a GMAT Classroom Course as it covers the entire syllabus in a structured way. You can also add some Private Tutoring to your Classroom Course if there are areas with which you would like some more help.

If your schedule does not allow you to attend classes, if you prefer to study on a one-to-one basis, or if you are re-taking the GMAT and only need to work on certain aspects of the test, then Private Tutoring is probably best for you.

Test Overview

The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is a standardized test used by many business schools as part of the MBA admissions process. Data has shown that GMAT scores can be good predictors of academic success in the first year of MBA programs.

The GMAT tests general, mathematical, verbal and analytical writing skills. It is not a test of specific subject knowledge, nor does it assess business competence. The test contains quantitative and verbal multiple-choice questions, plus two essays.

The GMAT is offered in testing centers around the world, and takes the form of a Computer Adaptive Test (CAT) in most countries.

A good GMAT score will increase your chances of getting into your top choice of MBA program. More than 250,000 people sit the GMAT every year, so prepare thoroughly to beat the competition!

Test Scores

Most people talk about GMAT scores as a number between 200 and 800, but in actual fact you will receive 4 scores, each with a percentile rank:

An overall score, ranging from 200 to 800 (test-taker average = 540)
A Math Section subscore, ranging from 0 to 60
A Verbal Section subscore, ranging from 0 to 60
An Analytical Writing Assessment score, ranging from 0 to 6

Percentile Rank
Each of the above scores is accompanied by a percentile rank, which shows the proportion of test takers who scored lower than you did. For example, a percentile rank of 65 means you scored higher than 65% of all other test takers.

Essay Scores
Each essay is graded individually from 0-6 and is marked by both a human and a computer. The grade is assigned holistically, taking into account all aspects of the essay’s content, grammar, and writing style.

Register for the Test

The easiest way to register for the GMAT is online via the website of the Graduate Management Admission Council at www.mba.com. The fee to take the GMAT is US $250, plus any applicable taxes for the country in which you sit the test (17.5% VAT for test-takers in the UK). GMAC takes most major credit cards.
