GMAT Pill study method - Recommended?

Zeke - Can you please explain what smartmundu is trying to say?

Hi ObsessedWithGMAT,

What smartmundu is trying to say is this: we explain everything in very easy-to-understand terms instead of using fancy grammatical principles and labels like "participial phrase" or "subjunctive clause" in our explanation - we believe these fancy words just further confuse the student.

Memorizing these grammar rules is not the right approach to GMAT. Instead, we teach you how to think - how to identify the important parts of the sentence and how to stay away from the FLUFF of the sentence that wastes your time. If you take a look at the many email screenshot testimonials on our homepage, many students say they still don't know what these fancy grammar terms mean - yet they were able to score 700+ or make a massive improvement to their score.

So if you are expecting to memorize grammar at the PhD level, then GMAT Pill is not for you. We specialize on quickly fixing sentences and moving on to the next one in as little time as possible. If you are a busy professional with limited time, this would be great for you.

In short, we specialize on SC questions for the GMAT - not a Master's degree in English. These skills will be with you for a lifetime in business in which recognizing sentence errors in business documents is more important than labeling them as a "superficial parallelism."

Also note that the previous post was posted a while ago. Since then, we've added many upgrades that further tackle areas like idioms that are harder to put rules on. These are the same questions that smartmandu says no other company addresses. You can see some of these idiom frameworks in Core Framework #5. We also have strong emphasis on meaning. These upgrades, as well as the Practice Pill Platform and iPad app, have been provided to existing users all free of charge.

For a sample of how we attack SC questions, take a look here:

Note this is only one portion of the SC Pill. The frameworks and quizzes are elsewhere.

Hope that helps!

Without offence to anyone.

Just to point out that the below review is written by that guy who joined the gmatclub forum on the same day on which he wrote the review.
Second, he has only one post in his account.

Please share some genuine reviews, I can't believe any prep company to provide 100% satishfaction. (Please correct me, if I am wrong.)

Moreover, the knowledge that I gained from gmatclub as well as from manhattan forums is in·dis·pen·sa·ble that i don't feel like investing in some course.

the only problem with studying from forum is that the knowledge is scatter without any roadmap signs.



PS : We are making a dent in our saving account by applying/buying any prep course. So, I request everyone to share genuine reviews. Please.

Hi,

I recently scored 680 (Q47 V36 IR6). I need to score 730 or 720 at least. I saw you have 50 points guarantee but what are the restrictions and how do I show you my Official score and get a confirmation from you on the guarantee? I have at most 1 month to prepare if not less.

GMATPill

Thank you

They are scammers, they charged me the second month despite having canceled my account. Also, now they won't let me cancel my subscription

Hi GMAT Pill,

Yesterday after careful deliberation I registered for the program, paid the money only to find that I have zero access to any paid material, and no responsiveness from anyone!

I need help or a refund! This is unacceptable!

Hi GMAT Pill.
I took the practice test offered at your website, but cannot see the results.
I am getting the error
Could not connect: Access denied for user 'violinro_master'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
Seems like a lot of others users have complained at your website.
