I have purchased all the pills and started going through the videos yesterday. I have little more than a month for my GMAT exam. I am following your one month plan. What would you reccomend regarding the Gmat club tests. When should I start taking them?
Please advice.
Ram
Hi Ram,
We recommend GMATClub tests as additional supplement AFTER you've exhausted all the material from the OG and GMATPrep software. By "exhausted" I mean that you have applied GMATPill frameworks to these questions and you've marked which questions you got wrong. You never went to bed without knowing why you got those questions wrong that day. And you woke up the next day to revisit those same questions and refreshed your mind about how to better approach those questions.
There's plenty of iterations and learning to go through before you even get to GMATClub tests. Treat the tests as supplemental to the core study method that will take up a bunch of your time.

I have purchased the gmat pill course couple of days ago and have also filled up the form, for the access to the gmat club tests. Please activate my access to the gmat club tests.
Also, we will be releasing 2 MAJOR upgrades in the coming month or two based on customer feedback. We've been quite busy with these upgrades for the past year and are almost ready to show to you.
These 2 upgrades are in ADDITION to the Integrated Reasoning Pill, which we are currently in the process of rolling out. Two Part Analysis and Graphics Interpretation have been created for Integrated Reasoning and they are quite popular already!
Sit tight! And look out for an announcement on our homepage in the coming weeks about the 2 major upgrades!

I have been trying to get in touch with you regarding the refund of the course fee, for 5 days now. I did not improve on my GMAT score. Could you please tell me how I can get my course refund? Thanks!
I was wondering whether your video course works on iPad? I'm working daily with a commute, I think I can get some efficient time in the morning and evenings when I'm on the subway/train. What do you recommend?
And I scored 98/99th on my SATs in high school (2220 / 2400 including the writing so avg 740). What kind of score can I expect for the GMAT?

Hi remyjazz888,
Yes - you will soon. We just submitted our iPad app to the Apple app store today so it should take 1-2 weeks for Apple to review and approve. Once approved, you'll be able to watch videos on-the-go. You'll be able to access the GMAT Pill course videos whether you commute to work by train, bus, or subway - or whether you just want to lie on the couch and watch some GMAT videos.
The iPad app will be free with members-only access to course videos. Sit tight - we'll be making an announcement soon.
The SAT applicant pool is quite different from the GMAT applicant pool. You can read more about the differences in this article. Having said that, a relatively smart person who is good with test taking (as you seem to be) will generally initially score in the 600-650 range on first try. Once you get familiar with the test, timing, strategies, and psychological elements - you would work your way up towards 700.

I downloaded your "GMAT Pill HD" ipad app and I have to say it's pretty awesome! Just one suggestion - can you make the videos not autoplay? I think it would be better to allow the user to browse around the menu without the video autoplaying each time. Just my two cents.
We've incorporated your suggestion to remove the autoplay as well as a few other bugs/fixes related to the download and login/logout features. These updates have been submitted to Apple for approval and should be available as an update in the App store as "GMAT Pill HD v1.1" in about 7 days. Sit tight!

I have my GMAT scheduled for August 19, 2012. I was wondering whether I would be eligible for the score improvement guarantee if I login and view the videos for 22 days or more before my test even though there are only 27 days left for my test?
My previous GMAT scores have been 670 and 680. I have taken the princeton classes in India but I feel that my level of prep has reached a plateau. I am hoping that GMAT pill would be able to help me.
I request you to kindly revert to my query ASAP as it would help me making my decision regarding the course soon.
Was wondering what sets your system apart from other online courses like Knewton or Veritas?
I'm looking for an on-demand type of course, NOT a live course. Thanks.
Defiant1, The GMATPill online course is on-demand (NOT live as you mentioned). The focus is on teaching you my thinking process and communicating that to you in a natural way. The videos show you the first-person approach to the question as you would approach it on your own. Little tweaks in what to read and what not to read, how I react to reading certain phrases are all subtleties that we capture.
The structure of the course is: 1) Core Frameworks 2) Apply Thought Process 3) Practice, Sprints, Timed Quizzes
We also have an iPad app, Practice Pill Platform, support for questions you get stuck on, and a "pill" for the new Integrated Reasoning section.
We believe doing well on the GMAT requires you to think like an expert, not just do 1000s of practice questions and hit a plateau. Currently I believe we are also priced lower but that will quickly change as we have made a number of upgrades.
Feel free to visit gmatpill.com for more info, view the testimonials, or message me for questions.

Mohit, I believe I responded to your question via email and just to reflect it here, the answer is yes, you would qualify as it is any 22 login days needed in the prior month before your exam.
