“The website is one of the greatest assets at Bell Curves, because it imitates the computer functionality of the exam, which was something that I struggled with. The Bell Curves staff is very encouraging and supportive throughout the GMATpreparation experience and really keeps you motivated. The small class sizes and the emphasis on learning question types rather than specific questions were especially useful and helped my score.

“Enrolling with Bell Curves was absolutely one of the best choices I made regarding my business school applications. I was able to raise my score from a 640 to a 710! My instructor quickly and effectively determined my areas of weakness using Bell Curves’ innovative diagnostic tools. The Bell Curves curriculum is content-focused, which allowed me to truly understand the GMAT rather than try to game the system. If you want to maximize your return on investment, sign up with Bell Curves!

“By far the most important aspect for me was the additional 2-hour Question and Answer session that was offered free of charge every Tuesday. I was able to go over questions and concepts I struggled with. Jason taught most of the sessions and he is an absolute rock star. With class, the group Q&As, the one-on-one tutoring, and 24-hour email access, I don't think there was a quant concept that I didn't understand. As a result, my quant score jumped 16 points on my last test. Overall, I could not ask for a better team of people!

“My experience with Bell Curves' tutoring program was phenomenal! Having Aaliyah as my tutor allowed me to truly hone in on the skills I personally needed to develop in order to do well on the GMAT. Aaliyah was extremely flexible and encouraging during our tutoring sessions. Some days she was more of a coach than a tutor, but that was exactly what I needed to build my confidence and do well on the GMAT. Additionally, Aaliyah was very good at identifying my strengths and weaknesses upfront. Therefore she created a structured review plan that truly made a difference in my score. Due to my sessions with Aaliyah, I was accepted into the Kellogg School of Management's class of 2011, which was the school of my choice!”

“Enrolling in a Bell Curves course was one of the best decisions I made in my preparation to apply to business school. While I initially thought that I could study and improve my score on my own, [Aaliyah] held me accountable and pushed me to study even when there were other important things competing for my time. Also, the Bell Curves approach just made sense. The way each lesson and assignment built on the previous one made taking on the GMAT a lot more manageable and less overwhelming. I have and will continue to recommend Bell Curves to others.

“Well, today was finally the day, and...I SCORED 710!!
I want to thank Bell Curves. Though I continued to use other study books, features of the Bell Curves site definitely made me more prepared. The CAT tests helped show how CAT scoring works, the review section helped me work on problem areas, I would have missed at least one question if I hadn't memorized the powers suggested. I could go on and on about how it's just a great site altogether.
I especially want to thank you Joe. You were always willing to help me with the many questions that I sent, you helped me find questions to target my problem areas, and you were very encouraging at the times when I couldn't hide my stress. I truly thank you. I could almost swear that at a stressful time during the test, I heard your voice telling me I'd be fine.”

“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 "high-class problem" of deciding between Wharton, Chicago, Tuck and Fuqua.”

“Bell Curves really helped me narrow in on my weaknesses on the GMAT. After taking the Princeton Review with no improvement in my score I started to lose hope. After working with Bell Curves I was elated when I saw my score improve by 100 points! I now have a score that will give me a fighting chance in the admissions process and I am quite excited!”

“Akil was the best because he had confidence in me, and required me to give my best. He helped my score improve 70 points, taught me on speaker phone when morning sickness kept me home, and kept the entire class laughing while navigating the stressful b-school process.
