At TorontoGMAT.com, we do not believe that it makes sense to spend the same amount of time on each section, regardless of the student's background. Some students may need little help in the quantitative areas, for example. However, we do feel that everyone can benefit from certain GMAT-specific tips, even with a strong background in a particular area.
