GMAT PreparationThe customized Success Prep GMAT Prep class is unique for a number of reasons, below are some of the reasons why our program has been successful in increasing GMAT test scores over 100 points.

• We start with the basics: Most applicants to an MBA program have been out of an academic environment for a long time, which makes them weak in some of the core topics being tested on the GMAT. At the Success Prep GMAT prep class “we assume you know nothing”; this way we are able to help our students achieve success by starting from scratch, unlike other prep programs which gloss over the fundamental core concepts. • Group study method: This unique approach to teaching the GMAT Prep class has allowed us to maximize the learning experience for the student by grouping students to about 4 on a table and allowing students to share information with each other on a given problem with our tutoring staff assisting with each group. This style ensures the student gets as personal and one on one attention as possible and also gives them time to practice problems in class instead of just taking notes from the instructor. • Math & Verbal Handout & Formula Prep sheet: Our teaching material is customized to take full advantage of the 4 week, 24 hours review class. We focus on reviewing the concepts frequently tested on the GMAT using our handouts and Formula Prep sheet. The Formula Prep Sheet is designed to help the students remember the most important formulas required to succeed on the GMAT Quantitative section. • Outside the classroom: An integral part of our program is weekly homework assignments designed to keep the student engage in practice for the days they are away from the class. The homework assignments are reviewed at the next class to ensure all student questions are answered.

Licensed Custom Brokers are in high demand and are paid handsomely for their expertise.

The objective of this course is to equip students with the information needed to earn a passing score on a licensure exam administered by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. However, students should be aware that this course will require a lot of dedication and hard work on their part because the national average for passing the exam is very low.
