Why choose us

The score doesn’t rise by doing more exercises

The GMAT is adaptive: every answer decides the difficulty of the next question, and the 205 to 805 score doesn’t measure how many questions you can do, but what level of difficulty you can hold. Anyone who prepares for it as a fixed-difficulty test is training for the wrong thing.

And there is one section almost nobody really prepares for: Data Insights, which mixes tables, graphs, data reasoning and multi-part questions. It is worth a third of the score, and it is where you pick up the points everyone else leaves on the table.

Meet the tutors

The GMAT Masterclass is Up to Ten’s course for the GMAT, the admission test for MBAs and master’s in management. It is 10 three-hour lessons in English, in a small group, one a week for 10 weeks, at our Milan centre or online, from €39 an hour. Next start coming soon.

Who it's for

Who the Masterclass is for

Aiming at an MBA or a master’s in management

The GMAT is still the clearest signal for business schools. You need the score the school you have in mind asks for, not a generic result.

You work and have few hours to spare

One three-hour lesson a week, on a fixed timetable, is more realistic than a plan you postpone every week because work eats up the evenings.

You’ve already tried on your own

You bought the guides, sat the official mock tests, and the score won’t move. Usually it isn’t a question of content but of strategy under time pressure, and that is where the group helps.

The method

How the GMAT course works

Small groups, the same group until the test

Dynamic, focused groups that stay the same from the first lesson to the test. One three-hour lesson a week, live and in English, at our Milan centre or online: a rhythm that holds up even alongside a job.

Adaptive mock tests, like the test

On our platform the difficulty moves question by question, with the same Item Response Theory logic as the GMAT. It is the only way to train the thing that matters most on the test: how you hold up when the questions get hard.

Data Insights as its own section

Two lessons dedicated to the five question formats, with the on-screen calculator as in the test. Not an appendix to Quant: a section with strategies of its own.

The tutor reads your data

After every mock test the profile separates Quant, Verbal and Data Insights and shows time per question. The tutor comes to the next lesson already knowing where you are losing points, and works on that.

Test Economia Cattolica superato in 2 mesi

Sono stati veramente bravissimi, in meno di 2 mesi hanno permesso a mia figlia di superare il test di ammissione ad Economia dell Università Cattolica partendo da delle conoscenze matematiche molto scarse. Tra le altre cose sono anche molto professionali ed hanno una bellissima app che permette di monitorare l andamento delle lezioni. Super consigliati

Ammissione a Economia e Finanza Bocconi

Con mio figlio abbiamo scelto Up To Ten per preparare l’esame di ammissione in "International Economics and Finance" per la laurea triennale in Bocconi alla fine della quarta superiore e l’esame è stato superato con successo. In particolare, desidero ringraziare Andrea e Anna, che lo hanno seguito con grande competenza, pazienza e professionalità. Non solo hanno colmato in modo efficace le lacune che aveva, ma sono riusciti a individuare gli errori nel suo metodo di studio e a guidarlo verso un approccio più efficace e consapevole. Ciò che abbiamo apprezzato di più è che il lavoro fatto non si è limitato alla preparazione dell’esame, ma ha contribuito a un miglioramento reale e duraturo nel suo modo di studiare. Consiglio Up To Ten a chi cerca un supporto personalizzato, capace di valorizzare gli studenti e di accompagnarli verso i loro obiettivi con metodo e attenzione.

Preparazione test Bocconi superata

Mia figlia Giulia ha seguito il percorso di preparazione al test d'ingresso alla Bocconi con Up to Ten, e siamo rimasti davvero soddisfatti del risultato! L’insegnante dedicato si è dimostrato estremamente competente e attento, capace di fornire spiegazioni precise anche sugli argomenti più complessi. Il grande valore aggiunto è stato l'approccio personalizzato, che ha consentito a Giulia di lavorare sui suoi punti deboli in modo mirato, in un ambiente tranquillo e in presenza, cosa che ha fatto una grande differenza rispetto alle soluzioni puramente online o ai corsi collettivi. Grazie a loro, Giulia è riuscita a superare il test e ad essere ammessa alla Bocconi. Siamo davvero grati e li raccomandiamo a chiunque cerchi un supporto serio e professionale!

La continuità didattica e l'approccio in presenza presso la loro sede e personalizzato hanno davvero fatto la differenza, soprattutto rispetto ad altre società che offrono solo corsi online o in gruppo. Grazie a loro, è entrato al politecnico. Consigliatissimi!

Preparazione chimica per test medicina

Federico è sempre stato di grandissimo supporto, soprattutto in questo ultimo periodo, in cui mi ha dato una mano in chimica, per il test di medicina. In ogni occasione, mi è stato davvero di supporto, soprattutto nei momenti di massimo sconforto, mi ha sempre incitato a non mollare. Oltre alle grandi competenze in materia, mi ha fatto capire che la chimica, alla fine, non è così tanto noiosa! La stessa cosa vale per Arianna, molto competente in matematica e fisica, mi ha sempre trasmesso tanta calma e sicurezza, anche quando continuava a non capire e avevo più bisogno di supporto.

The format

10 weeks · one lesson a week · 3 hours a week

Small groups

At our Milan centre, via Giuseppe Frua 21/6 (MM1 De Angeli), or online: it depends on the group you choose. Either way the lesson is live, with the tutor and the rest of the group.

Price

€39/hour
5-hour block
€42/hour
Single hour
€45/hour

Prices include

  • Dedicated tutor
  • All the teaching materials in English
  • Adaptive mock tests on the Up to Admission platform
  • Exercises and reports between lessons

The preparation starts with the purchase of blocks of hours; the mock tests are taken from home on the Up to Ten platform and reviewed in the lesson.

Blocks are counted in hours, not lessons (e.g. 12 hours = 4 three-hour lessons), are valid for 18 months from purchase and are non-refundable. Once the hours are used up, simply buy a new block to carry on with the preparation.

What we do promise

Not the result: that depends on you, on where you start and how hard you work, and no course can guarantee it. We promise what depends on us: a tutor who knows where you lose marks after every mock test, and a course that starts from your level.

When

Next start coming soon, at our Milan centre and online: one three-hour lesson a week, for 10 weeks. The GMAT can be sat almost all year round, at a Pearson VUE test centre or online, and the Masterclass timetable follows the application round deadlines of the business schools. Write to us: we’ll tell you the date as soon as the group is formed and keep a place for you.

The test

Three sections, a score that adapts

The GMAT is the admission test for MBAs and master’s in management, run by GMAC: three 45-minute sections, 64 questions, adaptive question by question, total score from 205 to 805. Schools publish the mean or median of their class: that is the score to start from.

  • 3

    sections of 45 minutes: Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning and Data Insights

  • 64

    questions in 2 hours and 15 minutes, in the section order you choose

  • 205–805

    the total score scale; each section runs from 60 to 90

  • 1/3

    of the score comes from Data Insights, the section almost nobody prepares for

You can review the answers of a section at the end and change up to three. Unanswered questions cost more than mistakes: you answer everything.

The course

The programme, lesson by lesson

10 three-hour lessons, one a week. You start with a full mock test and finish with your personal strategy for test day; between lessons, exercises and mock tests on the platform, with the report the tutor reads before the next lesson.

Lesson 1Lesson 10
  1. Lessons 1–2

    Lessons 1–2 — Diagnostic and the adaptive mechanism

    A full mock test, then the part almost nobody explains: how the adaptivity works, why leaving questions blank doesn’t pay and how to read the section-by-section report. From here the tutor knows where to start with each of you.

  2. Lessons 3–521 questions on the test

    Lessons 3–5 — Quantitative Reasoning

    Problem solving without a calculator, applied arithmetic and algebra. The aim isn’t advanced maths: it is recognising the type of problem quickly and solving it by the shortest route, against the clock.

  3. Lessons 6–823 questions on the test

    Lessons 6–8 — Verbal Reasoning

    Reading Comprehension on dense texts and Critical Reasoning: premises, assumptions, legitimate inferences. It is the part where a tutor’s advantage shows most, because the mistakes are ones of reasoning, not of knowledge.

  4. Lessons 9–1020 questions on the test

    Lessons 9–10 — Data Insights and strategy

    The five formats of the section, then full adaptive mock tests reviewed together. It closes on your personal strategy: section order, the final answer review, time management question by question.

What's included

What the price includes

30 hours of lessons over 10 weeks: 10 three-hour lessons, in a small group

Adaptive mock tests on our platform, with the same logic as the official test, and exercises between lessons

Two lessons dedicated to Data Insights, not a passing mention

After every mock test, a separate profile for Quant, Verbal and Data Insights with time per question

After the course

The score doesn’t rise by doing more exercises

On the GMAT it rises when you understand how the test decides the difficulty of the next question, and when you stop giving Data Insights away. Those are two things that, in a small group, with adaptive mock tests and a tutor who reads your data, you learn in 10 weeks. The full price list is on the pricing page; the tutors are on the team page.

FAQ

Questions about the GMAT course

It depends on the school, and mind the scale: the GMAT runs from 205 to 805 and every total ends in 5. The most selective schools publish averages between 615 and 695; many European schools ask for a competitive score without stating a minimum. We start from what yours asks for.
The tutor is dedicated to the group for the whole course, the mock tests are adaptive like the test, and Data Insights has two lessons of its own. And you pay in blocks of hours, not for a whole course in advance.
Small by design: big enough for the tutor to follow everyone’s working and correct you while you solve, and not one more. The same group stays together from the first lesson to the last, at our centre and online. If there are not enough enrolments to form a group, we offer one-to-one or paired lessons with the same tutor.
Most European and American business schools accept both. The GMAT is preferable if you’re aiming only at MBA or management programmes, because it is the test designed for them; the GRE also keeps other master’s degrees open. If you haven’t decided yet, we talk it through before you enrol.
If there is a wide gap between your Quant and your Verbal, one-to-one concentrates the hours where they are needed and is more efficient. If the three sections are level and you need to raise the score, the group costs less and working alongside others helps.
More frequently asked questions (5)
Yes. At the end of the test you see your result and decide whether to keep it; if you cancel it, schools don’t know. In the Masterclass we cover this in the last lesson, together with section order and the final answer review.
You pay in blocks of hours at the group rate: €39 an hour with the 12-hour block, €42 with the 5-hour block, €45 for a single hour. The price includes the tutor, the platform with the adaptive mock tests and all the materials. Blocks are counted in hours, not lessons, are valid for 18 months and are non-refundable.
For most people, yes: the programme covers the three sections and test-day strategy. The rest depends on you: on where you start from and how much you work between lessons, with the exercises and mock tests on the platform.
Soon: write to us and we’ll give you the exact date as soon as the group is formed. It is 10 three-hour lessons, one a week, at our Milan centre or online. If you have a firm deadline, one-to-one starts whenever you want.
Yes, lessons and materials are in English, like the test: it’s the most direct way to arrive at the GMAT used to thinking in English against the clock. If a point isn’t clear, the tutor goes over it with you.
