Hi, my name is Reagan and I live in Singapore.
I took the GMAT in OCT 2011 and scored a 670. The materials I used were MGMAT books and the official guide. It was a pretty stressful period because GMAT is really tough as my high school math was really rusty.

So I chanced upon Zeke Lee’s GMATPILL online course and read the reviews. I was amazed, why isn’t there a single negative review on the course? On the one hand, I was desperate to not have to pick up the MGMAT study guides again. On the other hand, I was skeptical about GMATPILL! In the end, I took the leap of faith and the rest was history! I am glad I made that decision!

I started off with the verbal section.
Sentence correction pill -- Zeke really does a good job in teaching you the basics. The videos were concise and clear and it covered the majority of the types of questions which will appear on the GMAT. After I learnt the frameworks, I decided to apply the frameworks on the questions. At first I would think, which framework should I apply to a particular question and so on, then slowly, it became second nature to me! I was like reading an SC question and ‘Ah! X&Y consistency!’. It’s a pretty awesome feeling.

Reading Comprehension Pill – When I used the MGMAT strategy guide for Reading comprehension, I thought that their methods were robust for me. But hell no, because in the exam, we really don’t have ANY time to write down details about each paragraph! Especially when we have to deal with Critical Reasoning questions too. Zeke taught me the most efficient way to tackle RC. Even I myself was shocked at the results of it! I wrote ZERO stuff on all 4 passages in the recent GMAT exam. Zeke cracks the RC component in 2 steps; he teaches us ‘how to read an RC passage’ followed by ‘how to answer the questions’. This may sound like it’s all no-brainer but under the time pressure, we need a robust method to help us tackle the RC questions, and Zeke’s methods, are 100% robust!

Critical Reasoning Pill - At first, the CR pill wasn’t upgraded and I was having problems understanding the way I should approach the CR questions. Coincidentally, Zeke was working on the CR upgrades. When he was done with it, he posted it and contacted me immediately. The upgraded is one word- AWESOME. He does it in ways that are so much simpler; you don’t even have to think so much at all! In the end, answering CR questions became really fun especially when attempting assumption and boldfaced type questions (You will know what I mean when you try these!). The hurdle in CR then became how adept I am at applying Zeke’s table-top frameworks.

The Quant Pills-
To be fair to everyone on the internet, I think the Quant pills are decent. However, compared to the Verbal Pills, the Quant pills paled in comparison. However, Zeke has proven to his customers that he will always exceed expectations with his new upgrades and I think he’s going to do it again as he just told me that there would be an upgrade on the quantitative section.

The upgrades would only be out in mid-sept and it was too late for me because my exam is scheduled this week. In the end, I took up GMATQUANTUM- www.gmatquantum.com. GMATQUANTUM is like the ‘VERBAL PILL’ FOR GMAT. Simple, concise and succinct.

For those interested, Dabral- the tutor has free videos for the public which are really awesome. The course is not cheap of course and it focuses only on the Quant section. But to me, the money spend on GMATQuantum was well worth it. In his GMAT course, he teaches all the relevant concepts to GMAT. I am so glad I took up the course too because it really helped me in securing that Q50.

In conclusion, for people who do not have much time to prepare for GMAT, I would advice taking the GMATPILL-verbal section + GMATQUANTUM. I wish I had knew earlier and that is why I want to tell fellow readers NOW.

For people who have at least one and a half months, I would say, go ahead and purchase the entire GMATPILL package because Zeke delivers his goods and I am sure that his upcoming Quantitative upgrade will shine too.

That is all I have now, good luck to future GMAT takers.

I got 680 (Q48/V35) in a previous attempt. I had referred to MGMAT and Veritas Prep books. The methods in their books did not work well enough for me. I could not understand why I was consistently scoring 30-35 in verbal (I am a non-native speaker). After the test I thought of taking an online course.

I looked at sample videos by GMAT Pill and was hooked. Immediately I signed up for the full course using GMAT Club discount link.

I took the test today and scored 720 (49Q/40V).

Following is my pill-by-pill feedback:

Overall Experience:
============
Zeke has a very compassionate voice and a wonderful way of breaking down problems into understandable bits.

Verbal General:
=========
Zeke teaches you not only how to pick correct answers, but also how to read the questions. You won't find any prep company teaching you the RIGHT way of reading a question. I used to run out of time in Verbal. With Zeke's method of cutting out the fluff, you save a lot of time and you can't go wrong.

The best part of this course is instant feedback. It is recommended that you pause the video and solve the examples yourself before watching rest of the video. Have you ever found that you could narrow down to 2 answer choices, but always picked the wrong one??? Happened with me all the time. While watching GMAT Pill verbal videos, if you attempt the question before watching the solution, you will find out the gaps in your thinking process, chinks in your armor, and will be able to fix them with practice. You need to know where you are going wrong before you can fix the issue. This is where I benefited a lot from GMAT Pill.


SC Pill:
=====
Since SC is the most improvable portion of GMAT Verbal, I decided to begin with SC Pill. This pill has over 5 hours of videos broken down into 10 frameworks, 17 600-level questions and 18 700-level questions. The approach of GMAT Pill to SC is unlike all the other prep companies. Zeke distills the entire theory of SC in 10 easy-to-understand frameworks. I watched each framework video at least 3-4 times. Learn the frameworks well and there won't be any SC question that cannot be solved by applying one of those frameworks. The 600 and 700-level questions are well explained. The most important take-away from watching Zeke solve the question in front of you, on the screen, is the entire Thought Process.


CR Pill:
=====
This was the 2nd pill I took. This pill has over 5 hours of videos broken down into frameworks, flashcards, 14 600-level questions and 15 700-level questions. The frameworks and flashcards make you understand the approach towards solving a CR question without tedious methods like writing down on scratch pad and what not. I found methods of MGMAT and Veritas Prep tedious and boring. With GMAT Pill method, you will take active interest in the CR questions.


RC Pill:
=====
This is a monster. 23 passages covered in 11 hours! Now RC is the most difficult skill to master in verbal. I believe my level didn't improve much by reading strategy guides on RC. What made an impact was the 'Connect the Dots' framework. Watch the RC Pill framework video, and you will never read any passage the old way again. Its incredible how much precious time you can save on the GMAT by following Zeke's method. No more jotting down points on scratch pad. Seriously, do u really need to read the entire passage? On top of that, do you really need to write down brief outline of each para?? The answer is an emphatic NO. Has it ever happened to you that you read an entire passage only to find that all the questions could be answered from the 1st or 2nd para? Do you get frustrated over the time that you wasted reading the entire passage and jotting down points mindlessly, when you could have better utilized the time - and not have to guess on the next question because you were running out of time??? Follow Zeke's advice and you will surely improve.


Quant General:
==========
I had already scored 48 in quant and did not have any inclination to study quant further. This was because I was studying math after 10 years and was fed up of the high-school approach in prep company books. You don't need to remember a gazillion formulas and percentages and shortcuts and everything in between. I improved in quant by 1 point: nothing spectacular, but consider this - I did not touch quant till last week or so, after my fist exam in May. I was afraid I would loose out on quant but that didn't happen.


PS Pill:
======
Everything you need to know about PS covered in 5 hours of videos. Even here, pay attention to how Zeke solves problems using plain simple logic rather than using complex formulas. It was a breath of fresh air. I did not even refer my old notes from MGMAT and Veritas books (I had plenty of them - almost 150 pages). You are not getting scored for steps you take in solving quant problems. Answer is what matter. On the GMAT I solved most questions without having to write complex calculation steps.

DS Pill:
=====
This pill has over 5 hours of videos broken down into frameworks, flashcards, 12 600-level questions and 19 700-level questions. The frameworks are useful for PS too. The pill changed the way I approached a few type of DS problems. I was confident of solving tricky DS problems after watching these videos.


Final Thoughts:
==========
I am glad that I found GMAT Pill, that too at a great discount here. You can't study a computer based test using books alone. No other course will tell improve your thinking process as much as GMAT Pill. I hope this course will put all the scum prep companies out of business.

To Zeke for GMAT RC Pill !

Before I write my GMAT, I thought of writing a word to you about my RC Pill experience till now.

It had been a while that I tried the various resources, right from Live Classes of Princeton Review to Manhattan RC Guide and all of them left me frustrated till the time I discovered the GMAT RC Pill. It has given me the required improvement to 85% accuracy from 50% accuracy, helping me to boost my verbal score.

Zeke, I have always struggled to find time to study because of my earlier consulting role and now because of my newly started venture. GMAT Pill gave me the enough flexibility to wrap up the course in a short span of time and to develop the right skill sets to crack a RC passage. The framework method really works wonder and this was easy to relate to my earlier work of consulting/analysis too. Also, the way to cut off the fluff really helped me to diminish the reading time by concentrating only on the relevant stuff. Last not the least, you stand to your words of reply within the 24 hours. I have repeatedly shot 4-5 query mails on a regular basis and you have effortlessly replied to them within the stipulated time. I bring this point as I have found this not to happen with another GMAT online prep company, though they claim to do so.

Zeke, I hope that you continue with the same zeal to help us to achieve our dream GMAT score.

So far I was able to cover only half of the SC videos and my review is limited to those videos:

1. The study material is awesome!! Watching videos to study SC is fun and less tiring than reading from the paper material. It is as if someone is tutoring you.
2. The study material is similar to Manhattan but simpler and easier to understand
3. There 10 frameworks to approach a SC. Basically the frameworks works all the chapters from the Manhattan book. Most of the Gmat Clubbers recommend Manhattan SC book for SC prep. With the GMAT pill you'll cover the Manhattan SC plus learn strategies to attack the SC and time saving tips.
4. Once such strategy is reading without the fluff.
- Saves a lot of time esp for long SCs with lot of modifiers.
5. The concept of linking verbs is new to me. I haven't seen this covered in other study materials(Kaplan/Manhattan/Princeton). I learned something new with the GMAT pill
6. The explanation for who/whom concepts by using she/them is awesome.
7. The concept of Main sentence/phrase is explained very well. The usage of "ing" verb in the phrase refers to the subject in the main sentence will help with the modifier testing questions.
8.The explanation for present perfect/past perfect in Manhattan is very confusing. The video explains the tense concepts with a table and you don't get lost in the terminologies - Past perfect, perfect what?? ;-)
9. Onion layers -Concentrate on the details/inside layer is a good tip. I was always lost with SCs such as " The Statue of liberty's defects in structure...". The video helped to understand what the SC was suppose to mean and how eliminate fluke answers in a short time.

I bought the whole package for a pretty good discount.

I would say the SC is really good.
CR and RC are good if you just don't know what to do. It takes you through Zeke's thought process...which I have never been good at. So I thought that was well worth it

However, I would hold off on the quant.

Using GMAT Pill and Official Guide, I was able to improve my score from 640 on my first practice test to 750 on the real thing. Spent two and a half months studying. GMAT Pill product is fantastic at teaching the material in an efficient manner. The Sentence Correction Pill is terrific. Highly recommend GMAT Pill.

What working professional has the time and flexibility to commute to expensive scheduled classes after a long day at the office? It's unrealistic and it's exhausting. That is why I decided to go with GMAT Pill. I heard about it from my friend who managed to score well in the 700s so I thought it couldn't hurt since it was significantly cheaper than classroom prep. With the time and place flexibility, I was able to more efficiently make use of my time. Time is money after all.

Data sufficiency was my least favorite section to start off with and since it helped me, I signed on with CR and SC. DS was the area of greatest improvement for me. I would definitely recommend GMATPill. I also scored above a 700.

Zeke's lessons on the GMATPill provide very helpful strategies and shortcuts into answering all of the different question types. I especially liked his tricks for sentence completion. Prior to using the GMATPill, I had been self-studying using some prep books - going through the lessons with Zeke definitely helped drive home easier and more effective ways to approach questions than just studying on my own. Ended up with a 740 after help from the GMATPill. Thanks, Zeke!

Hello,

I took the GMAT on January 23 after spedning three months studying and scored a very disappointing 580( Q32, V37). I took the MGMAT full prep class in Miami & scored as high as 740 on a MGMAT CAT and scored a 700(Q44, V42) on my 2nd GMAT prep exam prior to my test. Now MGMAT does have some good techniques, however for me I felt it was just to much info to try to retain, especially for Quant and on test day I felt like I was in the fog of war on the Quant section. After picking myself up, I knew I needed a different strategy in regards to my Quant prep. I decided to purchase the GMAT Quant pill and I'm glad to say I've been pleasantly surprised. The simpler and more intuitive approach has really helped me in prepping for my next test day which is March 6. I really like the GMAT pill method because it provides very useful strategies in the videos on how to approach almost every type of Quant question you could see. While I've yet to retake my exam, I'm doing much better and feel more confident when when practicing math problems (especially DS-my nemesis ). I'm planning on signing up for the SC pill, but for now I would definitely recommend the Quant Pill on the results I've seen in the past few weeks & I'm confident I will have much better results on March 6!

I found the GMAT Pill strategy sessions quite helpful. A few Pros and Cons

Pros
a) Its helps to increase your verbal score. (esp in RC)

b) SC and CR videos are also quite well made

c) It has a fantastic method to solve RC problems.

Cons
a) Given the price i paid for the GMAT Pill i think the amount of practice material is quite limited. Zeke could have included some more practice material and it would have been great.

Overall i think its a great support tool to help you with just with one sub section of the exam (i.e. RC) but otherwise its strictly ok.
