I guess because I don’t deal in the realm of the criminal, I had never heard of Scoretop back in the days when it was selling real GMAT questions. Based on GMAC’s FAQ, I am sure they are figuring out what their legal options are vis-a-vis the Scoretop customer base. According to Businessweek, only one […]

I asked this same question in April, but I will ask again: Does anyone know of any particularly good TOEFL iBT Speaking Section preparation courses? At least here in Japan, I have not received very favorable comments from my clients about the iBT Speaking courses that are available in Tokyo (perhaps, I am unaware of […]

In my previous post on test preparation, I suggested the importance of knowing enough about your own learning needs to determine how best to prepare for the TOEFL, GMAT, or GRE. This points to what I consider to be the heart of the admissions game: Play the game on your own terms. To get accepted […]
