I had been studying GMAT for a grueling 2 years. I tried everything including Manhattan GMAT's two week intensive course, private lessons, Bell Curves, etc--even got a PhD in linguistics to help me on verbal. All of these resources were good, but I still bombed the test.
I was about to give up but then I heard about GMAT Pill and considered it my last chance before I officially give up and run out of money.
Turns out signing up for the GMAT Pill program was the best thing I ever did. Actually, I should have done that first.
The so-called past perfect, present perfect terms that MGMAT taught me were really unnecessary. After seeing things the GMAT Pill way, I was surprised how easy some of the concepts actually are compared to how frightening they used to seem.
I basically had GMAT Pill almost as a tutor anywhere and anytime. With tutoring, it was hard to get a tutor to come in at 9pm on a weekend. But with this program, I had access to Zeke at any time. If I had a question, I would post it and get a response. You can also see they've responded to tons of other questions in a timely manner.
I didn't get a chance to use the GMAT Pill HD iPad app before my exam, but from what I've heard, it's pretty neat. Wish I had a chance to use it before my test but given my results, I'm quite happy.
I made it to Oxford for my MBA afterall!

To me, what I found most beneficial about the GMAT Pill study method was the fact that:
1) It was video based
2) Strategies really made sense to me after watching videos (SC Frameworks and reading strategy and visualization for CR). Breaking things down in quant was also helpful - brutal DS helped me see things in a different way. I was already good in Quant but this reinforced some concepts for me.
3) The responsive ongoing support of having Zeke answer questions at any time throughout my studies.
I initially studied the GMAT through traditional methods such as reading the princeton review and barrons study guides. I found this to be remarkably average in terms of engagement and effectiveness. Many times I would be studying after a long day of work and the last thing I wanted to do was to crack open a book and read. I took the GMAT pill and did decently enough.
Then, upon doing my research and asking around (a friend actually had taken GMATPill too), I came across the GMAT pill. I was immediately impressed with the depth and breadth of free resources available on the site. Indeed, I felt as if I had gotten a significant amount of value from the various articles, audio interviews, and videos that are freely available on the site. I thought that if the paid GMAT prep was of a similar quality as the freely available material, that perhaps it may be worth it to give it a shot.
I did and never looked back. I find that I learn much better through audio, and especially video tutorials. Zeke's method combines both audio and video in a unique way. Certainly I found it much more engaging than reading the study guides I had previously. The strategies were definitely helpful - I found that I internalized what Zeke was saying to me - in a way that a book could never do for me. Moreover, whenever I had a question about a specific concept or sticking point, I could email Zeke and he would answer it. This is extremely helpful because I'm busy working and pretty much nobody around me is taking the GMAT - I have to go about studying for this exam on my own. So, this kind of ongoing helpfulness is to me in and of itself worth the price of the product.
I took the test again and did significantly better. I believe that the GMAT Pill study method had a good part in the score improvement. Thanks Zeke!

How GMAT SC Pill Blew My Mind?

I recently finished The GMAT SC Pill, and would like to share a few things about it here for all to see. Excuse me if this gets a bit emotional but I must say it’s about time someone stood up (Zeke Lee) and simplified the GMAT prep process, started to use simple language, and made easy to remember methodology for attacking the GMAT, especially sentence correction.
The unique study method Zeke has created is ever so important in SC because SC could drive the best of us crazy with the almost countless idioms, expressions, and grammar rules in English. He has come up with a method that is both visual and auditory and I am yet to come across something to match it in my GMAT journey so far.
My experience so far in preparing for GMAT began as a GMAT instructor for Kaplan, and apart from a few basic strategies that I learned there, I can say my score had remained in the 600s. I also studied MGMAT and felt an immediate improvement after going through their guides too but still feel they lack the psychologically stimulating edge that The GMAT Pill provides.
Let me describe how it felt to move from Kaplan to The GMAT Pill for the first time...(This may sound a bit far out there but bear with me:)) It feels like when a person moves from Jakarta to Bali! Trust me, the difference is huge. Your GMAT Pill for Sentence Correction is awesome. Moving from Kaplan's online course to the GMAT SC Pill was an awakening!
Here are just a few of the things I have learned from The GMAT SC Pill:
1.I learned to remember X&Y consistency, and watch for keywords such as “and”. As soon as I see “and” in a sentence now, I immediately focus on whats on the left and what’s on the right to make sure they are consistent.
2.I learned a cool concept that Zeke calls “Laundry Lists and Long Sentences”. By this I mean lists of items, be they nouns, adjectives, phrases etc. The important thing with “laundry lists” is that they are following a parallel structure.
3.I learned to deal with verb tenses better than I used to. One of the most enlightening things in the SC Pill was the lesson on past tense. Zeke showed that if the sentence starts in the past tense, then it’s most likely that if there were other actions in the past tense after that event then the tense to use would be past simple. If the writer wants to emphasize a past before another past then you use the past perfect (had +verb-ed)
4.I learned to use the visual concept of Apples and Oranges, when facing comparison issues, and this helped me greatly in an area that I was kind of less confident about before taking The GMAT SC Pill
In addition to these benefits, I got a feeling of confidence from Zeke’s tutorials that I had not received elsewhere. I guess it’s because Zeke has a very common sense approach to the GMAT, and I think none more so than on sentence correction. He truly believes and proves that anyone can master sentence correction in this cool product. If I had only gotten my hands on this sooner...
Regards and thanks Zeke
