So, how does The Economist GMAT Preparation fare?The best way to know whether or not a course or a program is good is to ask those who have used it. In today’s times, a course or a module is essentially a commodity that can be rated out ten or five or can be awarded stars. However, even though reviews are what give you a broad generalised idea, they aren’t enough when the thing in question could be career defining for you. You just cant trust the genuineness of reviews anymore these days!
Before we decide it’s quality, let’s see what it has to offer.
