MLIC exposes the scams, deceptions, and non-disclosures of the other me-too prep courses so that you can make an informed decision in favor of MLIC GMAT Coaching.
MLIC believes that it is fraudulent on the part of Veritas LLC (which is registered in Connecticut, and may be unregistered with the Secretary of State in Califonria, and may be illegaly using the name VERITAS PREP for its operations) to fail to disclose that of its 15
GMAT tests, nearly all are bought from other companies as explained below. However, Veritas prep website would make you believe that all the tests supplied are proprietary tests created by Veritas Prep. This deception is wrong, period. Read more about deceptions, lies, and half-truths engaged in by other competitors in
GMAT preparation industry.
| GMAT prep company | Scams, deceptions, non-disclosures you should know about |
|---|
| VERITAS PREP GMAT | Veritas Prep is the state of the art in ultimate deception. Here is why:- Veritas prep's newest fraudulent claim is that some of its tutors are ex-Harvard and MIT professors and scientists. This is clearly a fraudulent claim. MLIC has sought clarification from Veritas LLC, and it refused to provide the names of its tutors who were ex-Harvard and M.I.T. professors and "scientists". Secondly, Veritas prep newly and fraudulently claims that its new instructors have to serve as assistants to veteran tutors before becoming tutors themselves. Nonsense. Veritas Prep (which may be an illegal, unregistered name to operate under for Veritas LLC) is so desperate that it will hire anyone who wears pants. Its 'video audition' is conducted through skype video. It will not disclose this fact but would use deceptive language to trick you into signing up with its tutoring programs.
- Veritas prep lies about its instructor qualifications. Some people who have 'taught' for Veritas prep have confirmed to us that they had not either taken the GMAT or not scored in the 99th percentile as Veritas falsely advertises. Not all instructors have scored in the 99th percentile, and Veritas Prep LLC will not disclose this fact.
- Veritas recruits its instructors by continuously running classifed ads in Craigslist.com or Vault.com, and sends them out to teach without any formal training. The attendees are required to evaluate the instructor hired by Veritas prep -- it would use you as a guinea pig after taking your $1,600. Veritas Prep now claims that its tutors have to undergo 100 hours of unpaid training before teaching a class. We have verified this claim and found it to be untrue.
- Veritas prep buys nearly all of the 15 of prep tests from companies such as Arco, 800score.com, Cambridge, etc. and does not have its proprietary training materials worth speaking of: it is so deceptive in claiming that it supplies you with 15 tests versus 4 or 5 by other companies that it fraudulently fails to disclose that nearly all of the 15 tests are bought from other companies that you can buy from directly as well. (Of “Veritas’s” practice tests, 2 are available for free from GMAC at www.mba.com, 5 are available for $45.00 at CATprep.com, 5 are available for $39.95 at 800score.com, and 3 are available as a CD-ROM accompaniment to a book called Master the GMAT that’s available for about $28. These are the 15 tests that Veritas brags about. We are not aware of any other proprietary tests provided by Veritas LLC.)
- Veritas LLC illegaly operating under the DBA of Veritas Prep fraudulently claimed in 2006-2007 that it develops its training curriculum with GMAC, which did not take kindly to the fraud. Veritas prep is not allowed to use official questions on the GMAT, and creates its own unrepresentative problems or buys materials from other vendors. MLIC alerted GMAC to this fraudulent claim and Veritas prep had to remove this claim.
- Veritas prep has been known to cancel classes frequently or some of its classes were reported as running without an instructor turning up. Veritas prep relies on at least some uncommitted, untrained, unprofessional trainers, and you cannot come out a winner if you choose Veritas Prep.
- The bottomline is, do not be a sucker: do not pick Veritas prep for your GMAT training.

| MANHATTAN GMAT | Manhattan GMAT is all soda, no whiskey outfit, and has merged with Kaplan GMAT recently. So, you have two bad companies merging into one..
- Manhattan GMAT, like Veritas prep, lies about instructor qualifications and its hiring methods. Many of its tutors have not taken the GMAT or been to Business Schools. Does it make sense to think that a "99th percentile" tutor has his or her day job as dog-sitter or as a waiter at the tables while waiting for their breaks in Broadway or whatever?
- Manhattan GMAT is the only company on the block that does not offer any type of guarantee about its course. MGMAT knows that its training methodologies do not work and does not want to offer any guarantee. Of course, it wants you to fork out your hard-earned $1,600.
- Manhattan GMAT frequently cancels its classes and switches you to its ONLINE course. There are several reports that MGMAT refuses to give refunds for canceled classes.
- Manhattan GMAT advertises 27 hours of prepping but if you factor in the early dismissals and breaks, you will be at the MGMAT classes for a total of barely 20 hours.
- Manhattan GMAT prep course relies solely on Official Guide, which contains retired questions and explanations. Why would you need an unqualified dog-sitter turned MGMAT tutor to explain a few explained problems to you. MGMAT does not teach concepts and has a bizarred schedule for its sessions. The trainer will start with critical reasoning and then jump to math and go to Sentence correction before dismissing the class 20 minutes ahead of scheduled time.
- In short, MGMAT is a dog-and-pony show that cares about your money more than about your future. If you are smart, you will avoid Manhattan GMAT.

| KAPLAN GMAT (KAPTEST) | Kaplan prep for GMAT is a tricks and gimmicks based tutorials taught by student instructors who get paid about $8 an hour. Nearly all of the tutors employed by Kaplan have not taken the GMAT or been to Business schools. Kaplan administers its own practice test to familiarize the student tutor with the test, arms them with talking points and sends them out to while away your time.
- Kaplan offers the least in-class hours: 18 hours and relies on strategies that might have worked in the 70's but do not work in the new computer adaptive format of the GMAT.
- Kaplan creates its own training materials that do not represent the language or the specific nature of GMAT problems and questions. As a result, your training will be useless when you take the actual GMAT test. Lately, Kaplan has started offering Official Guide to GMAT review that you can purchase on Amazon.com for about $20.
- Kaplan's score improvement or money back guarantee is a joke. In order to get your money back, you should not have opened the books it sent you. Its score improvement is predicated usually on its own diagnostic test, that is graded rather stingily so that any score will be better than your first diagnostic test score.
- In short, Kaptest is a clueless operator that has not kept pace with the changes on the computer adaptive format of the GMAT. In fact, Kaplan prep course can actually harm your chances for doing well on the GMAT CAT exam.

| PRINCETON REVIEW | Princeton Review is just as bad as Kaplan and Manhattan GMAT in that Princeton Review features about 18-21 hours of in-class sessions, at least 6 hours of which are spent in practice tests, and uses training methods that are not relevant to the Computer adaptive format of the GMAT-CAT.
- Princeton Review uses student instructors who are made to take its own GMAT and score whatever in order to be eligible to teach. It arms them with talking points and have them say, if you ask them a serious question, that the company policy does not allow them to discuss the problem during the class. You will then be asked to send an email to the company and wait for an answer 48-72 hours later. (Kaplan does the same shady thing.) How cool is that?
- Princeton Review creates its own test questions that do not represent the realities of the GMAT. So, you will be trained with questions that are unrepresentative of the actual GMAT-CAT.
- Its satisfaction guarantee is a joke. If you read the fine print, it is nearly impossible to be satisfied with Princeton Review.

Turboprep GMAT courses and 24 hours in
Weekend intensive GMAT prep courses (which is more than offered by courses such as those offered by Kaplan). In addition, the
MLIC GMAT prep courses require that you complete 50 hours of precourse training and at least another 40 hours of post class training before you sit the GMAT exam.
(3) Quality of Study and Training materials -- MLIC
GMAT study guides and training materials are frequently updated to incorporate changes to the GMAT testing and to included newer types of GMAT questions appearing in the more recent tests.

CPSD methodology and to
coach you in the GMAT assessment areas.
