Our Method
Bell Curves' unique approach focuses on ensuring our test-takers' command of the fundamental quantitative and verbal skills tested by the GMAT before teaching more advanced concepts and strategies. Unlike other course providers, we do not skimp on the number of class hours or make assumptions about the level of preparedness. Our programs are designed to help test-takers increase their knowledge of what is tested on GMAT, recognition of when to use the knowledge they have, and execution of those skills during the test. This approach allows our test-takers to increase both their skills and their confidence to achieve score gains that other companies cannot.

Cornerstone Features
Skilled Instructors
Our instructors are selected not only for their exceptional scores but for their teaching acumen. All instructors have attained a 99th percentile score, and completed an intense training designed to enhance their teaching abilities and pedagogical background. Our instructors are as much teachers as they are GMAT-whizzes, so they can better help students understand how to improve their scores rather than just show them how to do a particular problem.
Comprehensive Curriculum
Our curriculum is built around our innovative "walkthrough" approach. Walkthroughs provide both the baseline knowledge needed for the test and step-by-step demonstration of a given concept. With this approach students not only learn a particular concept but also experience it as it's scaled up in difficulty, so they are better equipped to recognize familiar concepts in unfamiliar contexts. The ability to recognize the familiar in unfamiliar situations is a primary key to success on the GMAT.

Integrated Online and Offline Tools
We provide our students with an unparalleled set of preparation materials. Our programs are builit on the foundation of our proprietary course workbooks, which are supported by our online student center (you can't practice for a CAT using only paper!). Our online student center provides practice materials (in multiple formats) to enhance memorization, pacing, and endurance, while providing content variations in both timed and untimed modes.
