Lesson Name(s)
Lesson Description(s)
1
Intro to Knewton and the GMAT
An overview of the features and functions of the Knewton course. Plus, a look at the structure of the GMAT and insight into how understanding computer-adaptive testing can lead to major score gains.
Intro to GMAT Math
An introduction to the GMAT Quantitative section, the Problem Solving and Data Sufficiency question types, and some basic concepts—such as percentages, fractions, decimals, and ratios—that are very important on the GMAT.
2
Quantitative Strategy 1
A more detailed overview of the categories of Problem Solving questions and the best ways to approach them, including Knewton's powerful Plugging in Numbers (PIN) and Testing Cases strategies.
Sentence Correction 1
A survey of the eight main grammatical rules tested on the GMAT, and the ways in which the GMAT violates them to test you. Examples of rules include subject-verb agreement, properly-formed modifiers, and parallelism among items on lists.
3
Number Properties 1
This lesson covers positive and negative numbers, odds and evens, factors and multiples, and prime numbers. Approaches using both memorized properties and the Testing Cases strategy are discussed.
Reading Comprehension 1
To draw the maximum amount of information from a passage on a single read, test-takers will learn to MAP their passage with active reading strategies—using passage keywords, zooming in on the author's attidute, focusing on passage structure, and more.
4
Systems & Equations 1
A review of the process for solving linear equations and systems of linear equations with more than one variable. This lesson covers a variety of word problem topics that frequently must be solved using systems of linear equations, including sets, statistics, and rate problems.
Critical Reasoning 1
A discussion of how to identify the evidence and conclusion in a GMAT argument, the two ways to formulate a valid GMAT inference, and how to create assumptions and check them using the Negation Test.
5
Quantitative Strategy 2
Strategic approaches to the Data Sufficiency question type, especially on the "Don't Solve" strategy. Systems of equations on DS questions are broken down in detail, with attention given to solving insufficient systems, solving for expressions, and identifying dependent systems.
Sentence Correction 2
A focus on styles considered wordy and awkward, and an in-depth look at each of the eight commonly violated rules on the GMAT—as well as the "tells" that provide hints about what error a sentence may have.
6
Number Properties 2
Covers the concepts of exponent rules, inequalities, and absolute value. The most important exponent rules on the GMAT are explained and condensed for easy memorization.
Reading Comprehension 2
Detailed analysis of the three most common Reading Comprehension question types: global questions, detail questions, and inference questions. Introduction to common wrong answer choices and how to spot them.
7
Systems & Equations 2
Expands on the first Systems lesson, with a particular focus on factoring and solving non-linear equations. Discusses commonly occurring products like the Difference of Squares as well as equations and lines in the xy-plane.
Critical Reasoning 2
Focuses on how to strenghten or weaken an argument, and discusses ways to pre-phrase answers to accurately anticipate broad answer types.
8
Geometry
Covers GMAT geometry fundamentals, from lines, angles, degrees, and triangles to quadrilaterals, circles, and complex figures. Special attention is paid to properties that can be memorized and applied to large classes of geometry problems.
Sentence Correction 3
A closer look at adjectival and adverbial modifiers, as well as parallelism in lists, correlative conjunctions, and comparisons. Comparisons are very common on the GMAT, so this lesson examines their construction in detail.
9
Quantitative Strategy 3
Advanced Problem Solving strategies, as well as timing tips and guessing strategies for time-pressure situations. Review of quantitative concepts and approaches.
Reading Comprehension 3
Examines unusual question types, including application and EXCEPT/NOT questions. More tips about tricky wrong answer choices and wordy, dense passages.
10
Systems & Equations 3
Discusses more advanced applications of factoring on the GMAT, as well as special topics like compound interest, mixture problems, and digit pattern problems.
Critical Reasoning 3
Analysis of the most common wrong answer types and the rarer question types in CR: Explaining Observed Events, Paradox, Relevant Information, and Logical Flaw.
11
Quantitative Chance
Explains Knewton's comprehensive Combinatorics method, which can be applied to almost any "counting" question. Identifies the types of probability problems that appear most often on the GMAT, with approaches given for each type.
Sentence Correction 4
Focuses on frequently tested verb tense rules, the subjunctive mood, and pronoun usage. Outlines tricks for spotting idiomatic errors.
12
Quantitative Review
A strategic review of the most tested Quant concepts and most effective strategies for the Data Sufficiency and Problem Solving sections of the GMAT.
Verbal Strategy Review
A strategic review of the Verbal concepts tested most often on the GMAT.
