More testimonials from Bell Curves students...

  • I scored a 690! Thanks to Akil and the Bell Curves team, I was able to increase my GMAT score by 130 points! Without Bell Curves and the invaluable insights and strategies they provided, it would never have been possible. Thank you!

  • When you put them all together, 650+580+570=1810! YEAH! Thank you for putting up with my ridiculous schedule this summer and thanks for the classes and diagnostics and chance to better my grades!

  • I am happy to report that I am officially done with the GMAT, after increasing my overall score by 150 points! I am extremely thankful for my teacher Andrew and the entire Bell Curves team for the support. Before taking a Bell Curves course I completed a popular GMAT prep in person class, but I did not receive the results I was hoping for. Recognizing that I needed to approach my exam preparation differently I decided to enroll in a Bell Curves online course. This weekly course provided me with the necessary structure to succeed on the exam and taking the course online gave me greater flexibility with my schedule. The statistics provided after every practice exam and set of practice questions were extremely helpful, these results helped me craft a custom approach that helped me achieve such great improvements. My teacher, Andrew was also very accessible and great at answering my questions as well as helping me develop my strategy. Finally, the Bell Curves' approach, mastering one subject at a time helped me tremendously. I highly recommend Bell Curves to all those preparing for the GMAT!

  • I wanted to share the good news that I have been admitted to Stern, Booth and HBS! Thank you for all of your help with regards to the GMAT and your advice of when to begin to focus on applications. I know that my GMAT score was an important component of my application and without your help I may not have achieved the score that allowed me to be considered at these schools. I truly appreciate your assistance and I look forward to beginning my MBA journey soon!

  • Thank you Bell Curves for making my success on the GMAT a reality. I increased over 100 points since my prior official score. I broke into the 650+ range and scored over the 90 percentile on the verbal. Bell Curves filtered out the extra noise out there around the false GMAT tips and tricks. They provided structure on how to approach and deconstruct math and verbal questions so I always kept the 'real question asked' at the top of mind as I worked. Their approach to time management helped a lot, boosting my score 50 points once I adopted it. Their hands-on approach and emphasis on student participation helped me to understand the way the GMAT writers think and ask questions. I had personal tutoring as well. Third person observation of my errors and trends helped correct the way I studied and practiced for the GMAT. I highly recommend Bell Curves for your test prep.

  • Thank you for everything that you did to help me. I was accepted to Georgetown, Cornell, Rotman, Babson, and IESE. I am very happy! I decided to move to Cornell and am getting ready to do so!

  • I'd like to sing praises to Akil, Bell Curves and most of all HASHIM! I know I was a difficult student, but your headaches were not in vain! So far I've been accepted to Darden, Fuqua, Stern and Tuck!!!

  • I spent a small fortune with the so called top GMAT prep companies on the street but they all fell short on helping me make any improvements on my score.  Then MLT MBA Prep staff recommended a tutor from Bell Curves.  Nothing quite comes close to the level of individual attention and improvement I received from my private tutoring sessions.  My score improved 150 points in just a few sessions. Unlike other companies, my tutor was able to hone in on my issues and quickly fix them.  He went above and beyond to help me achieve my target score.  Additionally, the Bell Curves books not only teach you the concepts you need to know but they show you the techniques to beat the exam. If you are shooting for a top GMAT score, Bell Curves is the bar none the best.

  • I would just like to thank Bell Curves and Yanni for all your help with the GMAT. Also, I wanted to inform you guys that I recieved my acceptance letter from the University of Minnesota Carlson School of Business.

  • 690!!!! 46 Quant and 39 Verbal……Yes that's right the GMAT is my B@$#...now! Up from a 5 freakin 30!!!! Thanks for all of the help!

  • Just wanted to let you know that I got accepted in UCLA's Anderson School of Management! Thanks for helping me with that GMAT.

  • I just wanted to say thank you for all your advice on how I should prepare for re-taking the GMAT. I found the Bell Curves information and drills to be wonderful, and together with the Official Guide I was able to raise my score 70 points to a 700! Thanks so much!

  • 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!

  • I found out this week that I've been ACCEPTED into Wharton's MBA program for Executives!!! I feel like Bell Curves had a big hand in helping me prepare adequately for the GMAT. Thanks again.

  • My daughter is so thankful for Bell Curves. She recently told me that Bellcurves is helping her with school and vice versa. I noticed that her quiz/test scores at school are more consistent and improved this year. Many thanks again! :-)

  • Bell Curves taught me how to avoid the kinds of mistakes on the SAT that were keeping me from reaching my full potential. Bell Curves helped me push my score beyond my goal of 2300 points – a plateau I was having trouble reaching on my own. In short, Bell Curves was a GREAT help. I could not have done it without them.

  • Thanks to Akil and the rest of the BC team I was able to raise by GMAT score by 120 points. The information we went over in class and the answers found on the website made taking the exam much less daunting.

  • I have always found math intimidating, all the way through AP Calculus. So then, there it was, the math portion of the GRE, looming like a monolith between a PhD program and me. Luckily, the director of the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Program at Columbia University was smart enough to hire Akil Bello of Bell Curves test prep. Akil demonstrated all of the best qualities of a tutor: extreme patience, humor and unparalleled knowledge concerning the test at hand. Within a few short weeks I not only gained a greater understanding of the mathematical concepts tested by the GRE, but I also learned how to become a more efficient test taker over all, increasing my confidence and making test day a breeze. When faced with the daunting task of compiling my graduate school applications, it was a source of calm amidst the storm knowing that at the very least, I had the GRE in the bag.

  • I just wanted to update you on my admissions status. So far, I have been admitted to Wharton, Tuck and Fuqua. I am still waiting to hear from Chicago. My average isn't looking too bad! Thank you again for all of your help. I couldn't have done it without you!

  • I took the GMAT again today (#5 I might add) and scored a 650!  This is a nice improvement over my highest score to date of 590.  I am pleased with the score and feel as though I did my best!!!  Thank you for all of your help man - I could not have done it without ya!!
