A Standardized Approach to Standardized Tests!

GMATCourSeS & TuToring

GMAT • LSAT • GRE

Congratulations on your choice to pursue an MBA education! An MBA degree from a top school could

mean a quantum leap in your career and could add tens of thousands of dollars a year to your salary.

At this time you are likely preparing your application to business schools. As you may know by now,

admission committees look at your work experience, undergraduate GPA, personal essays, letters of

reference, and several other criteria when deciding whether to accept you to an MBA program. Competition

for spots in top business schools is very tough. And the #1 factor most schools look at when making

admission decisions is your GMAT score.

The GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test) is unlike any other test you have written before. Using

a standardized, yet unconventional question format, the GMAT purports to test students on three basic

skill sets: math, verbal, and analytical writing – skills that students have developed over a long period

of time. When you take a closer look though, you will find that what the GMAT really tests is something

different. The GMAT is not simply a knowledge based exam. GMAT questions are intentionally written to

try to confuse and trick you. To answer questions correctly in the time allotted, you need to be able to

sort through the information provided, apply the pertinent knowledge, and select the right answer. The

GMAT exam puts a premium on critical thinking and analytical reasoning skills. It requires students to

approach problems strategically, manage time under pressure, pay attention to detail, make decisions

with incomplete information, synthesize knowledge from several different fields of study, identify

recurring patterns in the questions and answers, and solve seemingly straight-forward problem types in

counter-intuitive ways. Simply put, the GMAT requires you to demonstrate the same skills which will help

you succeed in the fast-paced and high-pressure environment of an MBA education, as well as in your

future career. This is one of the reasons why schools take your GMAT score seriously. And so should you!

Fortunately, the skills tested on the GMAT exam can be learned and we at Quantum Test Prep have the

most comprehensive GMAT programs available to help you succeed. Our 60-hour (2-weekend), 90-hour

(3-weekend) and 120-hour (3-weekend + tutoring) GMAT courses will help you not only gain acceptance

into the top MBA programs in the world, but will also teach you skills to help you be more successful in

your MBA program. We at Quantum Test Prep follow an extremely systematic and structured approach

to preparing for the GMAT. We focus on taking the complex problem (the GMAT), breaking it down into

manageable chunks, and dealing with these chunks one at a time - essentially we “Quantize” the GMAT!

Quantum Test Prep is the right choice for your GMAT preparation. We offer more teaching hours than

any other test prep company in Canada. Our instructors are some of the most experienced and well

recognized in the industry. We have successfully taught thousands of students across Canada over the

past 8 years. Our courses are conveniently held on major university campuses throughout the GTA and at

The gMAT at-a-glance

GMAT Exam Format & Scoring

The GMAT is a 4-hour long

computer-based exam offered

worldwide throughout the year.

The exam follows a Computer

Adaptive Test (CAT) format. This

means that the difficulty level

of the questions adapts to your

performance as you progress

throughout the test.

You will get an unofficial GMAT

score report with Verbal,

Quantitative, and Total scores

immediately after you complete

the test.

Official GMAT Score Reports,

including your AWA (Essay) score,

are normally available within 20 days

of your test date.

The Graduate Management

Admissions Test (GMAT) is a

standardized admissions test

used by graduate business

schools to help them assess the

qualifications of applicants for

advanced study in business and

management.

Your GMAT score is based on

several factors, including the

number of questions you answer

correctly, the difficulty level of

each question you answer, and the

number of questions you complete.

The GMAT may be the most

important exam you will ever write.

Most MBA admission committees

look at your GMAT score as the

single most important component

of your MBA application. It allows

the business schools to compare

you with other applicants in a

standardized way. It is used as

a predictor of your academic

performance in the first year of the

MBA program.

A good GMAT score can help you

get into the MBA program of your

choice. Unfortunately, a below

average GMAT score, no matter how

good the rest of your application is,

is something most schools will not

be willing to overlook.

What GMAT Score do I Need?

Entry to the top business schools

is very competitive. In 2010, the

top 25 business schools accepted,

on average, only 22% of their MBA

program applicants (USNews, Best

Business Schools Rankings, 2010).

In 2010, the average GMAT score of

the top 20 Canadian MBA schools

was 630 (75th percentile)(1).

Last year, 100% of the top 20

Canadian MBA programs had an

average GMAT score of 600 or

higher(1).

Every 10-point increase in your

GMAT score translates into, on

average, a $3,500 increase in your

post-MBA starting salary (QS Global 200

Top Business Schools 2010/11)

The GMAT is unlike any other exam

you’ve encountered before. It is almost

4 hours long. It is written under severe

time constraints. Questions become

progressively more difficult as you

answer them correctly. The Computer

Adaptive Test (CAT) format is unfamiliar

to most students. You’re scored relative

to hundreds of thousands of other

competing students.

The GMAT provides you with a set

of unique challenges that make it a

surprisingly difficult and unexpectedly

gruelling exam. This is why we

recommend you take the GMAT

seriously. Thousands of other MBA

applicants do. A good score on the

GMAT can help you get into the school

of your choice. It can change your

future. It can change your career. It can

change your life.

Why Prepare for the gMAT?

Why Prepare for the GMAT with Quantum Test Prep?

Although some students choose to

self-study for the exam, most students

agree that a GMAT preparation course

allows them to study more efficiently,

compress months of preparation

into weeks, and greatly improve their

chances of getting the highest GMAT

score they possibly can.

More than 50% of all GMAT test-takers

now take a formalized program of study

to prepare for the exam. However, on

average, less than 25% of applicants are

accepted to MBA programs. Fewer still

get into their program of choice.

A degree from a top-tier MBA program

can mean an income difference of

hundreds of thousands of dollars over

the course of your career. Don’t be left

behind. A Quantum GMAT course will

help you get a higher GMAT score –

guaranteed(2).

PRACTICEQuantum students have access to

hundreds of practice GMAT questions,

weekly private GMAT study groups,

and simulated GMAT practice exams

to prepare you for the real test day

experience.

The Quantum Test Prep

Methodology

Quantum Test Prep’s teaching philosophy is different from that of any other test preparation

company. We recognize that, at it’s heart, the GMAT is a standardized test. It asks standardized

questions based on standardized content in a standardized format. It is our belief that the best way

to prepare for such an exam is to use a standardized approach in solving these standardized questions.

For this reason, our GMAT courses are designed to provide you a complete set of standardized

techniques that will allow you to solve all of the main question types on all sections of the exam.

To do this, we have developed our own proven GMAT problem-solving methods to find the quickest,

easiest, and most accurate way of answering each question type on the exam. We supplement these

teaching methods with our own customized GMAT course manuals. Quantum GMAT course manuals are

organized, structured, categorized, and comprehensive. And most importantly, they contain hundreds of

practice questions!

Quantum Test Prep modularizes or ‘quantizes’ the GMAT course. We let you take either the whole

course, or just the individual modules you need. The

complete Quantum GMAT curriculum consists of 5

separate course modules:
