Dear Student: Thank you for enquiring about our GMAT preparation courses. The Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) is unlike any test you have ever written. Through a standardized yet unconventional question format, the GMAT tests logical reasoning skills, reading comprehension skills, analytical and mathematical skills, analytical writing ability, and integrated reasoning. To register for the exam, please contact the Graduate Management Admission Council by telephone at 1-800-717-GMAT (4628), or online at www.mba.com. Our intensive 22-hour courses and 48-hour courses are wellorganized, challenging courses designed for students who wish to maximize their competitive position in relation to other students writing the GMAT. We focus on building the skills you need to master the GMAT. Our dynamic instructors give you a comprehensive understanding of each section of the GMAT, cover tactics specific to individual sections, and review strategies which apply to the test as a whole. If you want a competitive edge over other students writing the GMAT, consider Oxford Seminars. We maintain the highest standards for all our instructors and only select and train those instructors who have years of distinguished teaching experience and who have demonstrated outstanding achievement on the GMAT. We have successfully taught thousands of students. Our courses are conveniently held on university campuses across Canada. Our research department has compiled a summary profile of all business schools across Canada. In our continuing efforts to assist students with the entire MBA application and admissions process, we have enclosed a copy of the useful profiles. A word of caution from our knowledgeable instructors about commercially available GMAT preparation materials: unfortunately, much of this material is poorly researched and does not reflect the current GMAT. Our written materials are constantly updated and reflect the most recent changes in the GMAT.
“What attracted me most to this course was that I was referred to it by the MBA program people at my university."
Please review the enclosed information and contact us if you have any further questions. To register for any upcoming course, call our office or complete and return the attached registration form. We look forward to hearing from you. Customer Service and Registration Oxford Seminars

Our Talented and Experienced GMAT Course Instructors At Oxford Seminars, we maintain the highest standards for all our instructors. We hire and extensively train only the most qualified instructors who have not only scored in the top 2% of all GMAT test-takers but who also have years of distinguished teaching experience. At the end of each and every course, our students are asked to evaluate our teaching staff. They typically tell us that they find our instructors approachable, highly knowledgeable, and able to present difficult material in a dynamic and interesting manner, which facilitates learning and understanding.
Simulated Exams Our 48-hour course concludes with the writing of two full-length simulated Computer Adaptive Tests (CAT) during which testing conditions are carefully reproduced. This provides our students with an excellent opportunity to practise and review (under GMAT exam conditions) the many skills they have acquired during the course.
Free Repeat Policy Our GMAT courses include a free repeat policy which allows students to repeat the entire course one time, free of charge, within one year of their original course start date. Some students take advantage of this policy to review and re-attend our test prep course for double the preparation time at one low price. In order to ensure a low student-to-instructor ratio, we ask free repeat students to contact us in advance to reserve their place in the upcoming GMAT course.
Additional Services For those students who have particular difficulty with any aspect of the GMAT, we offer additional tutoring. These are individual tutoring sessions with one of our highly skilled instructors.
MBA Application Process In today's competitive academic climate, a winning application can be the difference that makes you stand out among the thousands of students applying to MBA programs across Canada (and the United States). Our courses include a comprehensive understanding of all areas of the application and admissions process. We cover how to write persuasive personal statements, carefully choosing your references, highlighting particular extra-curricular activities, presenting your past and present academic record, to which MBA schools you should apply, how admissions committees operate, and how to avoid common traps and mistakes.
Our Commitment to You Oxford Courses provides excellence in test preparation at a price that is affordable for students willing to invest in their future. When asked to evaluate our courses, over 98% of our students say they recommend us to their friends.
"I would certainly recommend this course to others! It helped in my overall approach to studying, which areas I needed to work on further, and the importance of timing when doing the test. The course helped me to feel more prepared for the GMAT than I would have otherwise." - F. Bourdon
