More testimonials from Bell Curves students...

  • Thank you for your help and support through this process. You definitely provided a much needed and positive perspective. I appreciated your support even as I moved the test date out multiple times. You went way above and beyond as a tutor and I really appreciated this extra effort. I am also appreciative of all the BC review sessions I was able to attend. With your help I was able to go from the low to the high 500s, which is an accomplishment. 

  • Thanks so much for bringing Bell Curves to Atlanta. I am happy to report a 110-point increase in my score since taking your class! You guys rock!  

  • Christina is an incredibly knowledgeable teacher who takes a methodological approach to GMAT content, in turn giving her students the tools they need to succeed. She  truly cares about the success of her students, and makes sure each student receives individual attention catered to his or her particular learning style. Thanks to Christina, I was able to succeed on the GMAT and continue on to Columbia Business School.  I recommend her course to any prospective students I speak to who have not taken the GMAT yet.

  • Thank you for everything that you did to help me. I was accepted to Georgetown, Cornell, Rotman, Babson, and IESE. I am very happy! I decided to move to Cornell and am getting ready to do so!

  • The intimate classroom environment facilitated networking and support among all involved. At a cost much less than that of many other GMAT prep companies, Bell Curves easily trumps other companies in value. I am extremely thankful for all that the Bell Curves staff has done to help me attain my goal of an MBA from a top institution!

  • I am happy to report that I am officially done with the GMAT, after increasing my overall score by 150 points! I am extremely thankful for my teacher Andrew and the entire Bell Curves team for the support. Before taking a Bell Curves course I completed a popular GMAT prep in person class, but I did not receive the results I was hoping for. Recognizing that I needed to approach my exam preparation differently I decided to enroll in a Bell Curves online course. This weekly course provided me with the necessary structure to succeed on the exam and taking the course online gave me greater flexibility with my schedule. The statistics provided after every practice exam and set of practice questions were extremely helpful, these results helped me craft a custom approach that helped me achieve such great improvements. My teacher, Andrew was also very accessible and great at answering my questions as well as helping me develop my strategy. Finally, the Bell Curves' approach, mastering one subject at a time helped me tremendously. I highly recommend Bell Curves to all those preparing for the GMAT!

  • Dreams do come true! Despite the ease with which I typed that statement - please KNOW that the achievement of your dreams does not come without a lot of hard work. In comes Bell Curves: I have had an extremely positive experience with Akil and the rest of the Bell Curves team. I feel as though they had a genuine interest in my success and challenged me relentlessly. What especially stood out about Bell Curves is the team's emphasis on thinking conceptually about the GMAT and mastering your timing. I am blessed with the "problem" of deciding between Wharton, Chicago, Tuck and Fuqua.

  • I wanted to share the good news that I have been admitted to Stern, Booth and HBS! Thank you for all of your help with regards to the GMAT and your advice of when to begin to focus on applications. I know that my GMAT score was an important component of my application and without your help I may not have achieved the score that allowed me to be considered at these schools. I truly appreciate your assistance and I look forward to beginning my MBA journey soon!

  • I just want to let you know that I took the GMAT last week and got a 770, a scaled score of 45 on the verbal and 50 on the Math. Thanks again for everything as your company definitely made this happen.

  • You're a great teacher, Ajani. I wish I had went with Bellcurves earlier in the process. Thanks so much for all your help!

  • I took the GMAT again today (#5 I might add) and scored a 650!  This is a nice improvement over my highest score to date of 590.  I am pleased with the score and feel as though I did my best!!!  Thank you for all of your help man - I could not have done it without ya!!

  • Thank you Bell Curves for making my success on the GMAT a reality. I increased over 100 points since my prior official score. I broke into the 650+ range and scored over the 90 percentile on the verbal. Bell Curves filtered out the extra noise out there around the false GMAT tips and tricks. They provided structure on how to approach and deconstruct math and verbal questions so I always kept the 'real question asked' at the top of mind as I worked. Their approach to time management helped a lot, boosting my score 50 points once I adopted it. Their hands-on approach and emphasis on student participation helped me to understand the way the GMAT writers think and ask questions. I had personal tutoring as well. Third person observation of my errors and trends helped correct the way I studied and practiced for the GMAT. I highly recommend Bell Curves for your test prep.

  • Despite working with two different test preparation companies, I really struggled with my timing the first two times I had prepared for and taken official GMAT exams; the courses and tutors I had took a general approach that didn't necessarily focus on the areas in which I needed to improve and really didn't help address my timing issues. My Bell Curves tutor helped me develop a rigorous study plan that focused on improving my weaknesses (Geometry, Number Properties, and Sentence Correction) and consisted of Bell Curves timed sets, which allowed me to simultaneously become more aware of my timing on each section and close the gap in my problem areas. After three months of (no social life) tutoring sessions, practice CATs, and timed sets using both the online Bell Curves student center and the Official Guide for GMAT Review, I earned a 730 (46Q, 45V) on my third official GMAT exam. I am so grateful to my tutor for putting up with all my "silly" questions and really pushing me to achieve well above the target score I had set for myself.

  • 690!!!! 46 Quant and 39 Verbal……Yes that's right the GMAT is my B@$#...now! Up from a 5 freakin 30!!!! Thanks for all of the help!

  • I think one of the concepts most students overlook and undervalue when it comes to practice and studying is consistency. Getting my target score time and time again not only showed improvement, but also helped build a confidence I could draw on come test day and throughout the application process, which was invaluable.  My tutor and I were able to develop a steady, balanced study strategy that was successful because it fit my needs and work style.  In three months, I was able to improve my score by 70 points, even after having broken the 600-mark.  So I'd like to thank my tutor for his patience, flexibility, resolve and encouragement.  It's not always about studying hard, but studying smart.

  • Just wanted to let you know that I got accepted in UCLA's Anderson School of Management! Thanks for helping me with that GMAT.

  • Were not for Bell Curves' GMAT support, I might not have enrolled at Ross and sought to achieve the highest of aspirations. I certainly would not have cleared the "consulting bar" with my initial GMAT scores. Thank you for all that you've done and all that you continue to do in helping prospective MBAs succeed in the top business schools.

  • Just wanted to send you guys a quick note to let you know that I was just admitted into Wharton!  Now I'm just waiting to hear back from HBS.  Thanks for all of the help you guys have given me to help make this a reality!

  • I started preparing with a GMAT book and learned a lot about the test, about the material that I needed to know, etc. But my scores weren't improving. I did 6 hours of tutoring with Ajani Burrell (who I highly recommend!) over four 1 ½ hour sessions. The problem solving methods and the material Ajani taught me, in addition to the work I had done prior to working with him, were crucial, as were the countless practice problems I did afterwards. On test day, I couldn't believe what I saw: a 48Q and a 41V for a combined score of 720. I sat there for a solid minute just staring at the screen.  It was nice to know that everything I did and every hour and dollar I spent preparing for the test paid off.  I gave my final fingerprint, was given my score printout, and left a happy man.

  • I spent a small fortune with the so called top GMAT prep companies on the street but they all fell short on helping me make any improvements on my score.  Then MLT MBA Prep staff recommended a tutor from Bell Curves.  Nothing quite comes close to the level of individual attention and improvement I received from my private tutoring sessions.  My score improved 150 points in just a few sessions. Unlike other companies, my tutor was able to hone in on my issues and quickly fix them.  He went above and beyond to help me achieve my target score.  Additionally, the Bell Curves books not only teach you the concepts you need to know but they show you the techniques to beat the exam. If you are shooting for a top GMAT score, Bell Curves is the bar none the best.
