You can prepare for the GMAT Focus Edition on your own if you're organized and comfortable planning your study. A lot of self-study candidates use resources like the Official Guide for GMAT Focus Edition 2024–2025, MBA.com mocks, and Target Test Prep for Quant.
That said, coaching makes a real difference if you struggle with Verbal, Data Insights, or managing timing across sections. It’s also a good option if you're aiming for a 700+ score and don't want to waste time figuring out strategies yourself. Some students start solo but realize after 4–5 weeks that their mocks aren't improving — that's usually when joining a structured course helps.
Platforms like Mentr Me can support both paths. Even if you're studying independently, their free GMAT Focus mocks and sectional tests can help you benchmark progress early without paying upfront. It’s more about being honest with yourself — if self-study gets you consistent mock improvements, great. If not, coaching is a smart investment to avoid risking the final outcome.
