I would like to take this opportunity to thank GMAT Pill for helping me getting into Wharton. I learned about GMAT Pill when I was looking for good strategies to improve my reading comprehension section. GMAT Pill absolutely teaches you the best RC strategy among all of the coureses out there. I was able to accurately answer the majority of questions within a very short period of time using GMAT Pill's RC strategy. With a looming GMAT deadline coming, I was able to significantly improve my GMAT score from 640 to 690 in less than 2 weeks and got into Wharton with this score. I have tried multiple GMAT courses, including Manhattan GMAT, Kaplan, Knewton, etc. GMAT Pill definitely stands out, teaches you through an efficient way of thinking and giving you an opportunity to significantly improve your GMAT score in a limited amount of time. I highly recommened GMAT Pill to anyone who is seriously considering getting into a top business schools. I believe this is the course that offers the best value at the best price!

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

GMAT Pill helped boost my score by 70 points!! As a non-native speaker, the verbal section was my greatest challenge. I scored 690 at my first attempt but the verbal score was skewed. After looking at a few prep courses, I chose GMAT Pill because of its great flexibility and simple but efficient problem solving concepts. The verbal pill turned out to be extremely beneficial. With about a month’s study, I was able to apply the learned 10 core frames to effectively tackle most verbal questions. Also, I learned to draw diagram to visualize the underlying logic connection for CR problems. I scored 760 at my second attempt with my verbal score greatly improved! Moreover, with my improved score, I got into Darden with a nice scholarship package! Thanks, GMAT Pill!

I cannot thank Zeke enough!

I had my exam yesterday and I came out with 710! I did not think this would ever be possible because I was studying GMAT for almost an entire year.

Completely cleared up my confusion regarding all the verb tenses.

Every other material I used - OG/Kaplan/MGMAT - made it really hard for me to understand all the verb tenses. I still don't know what subjunctive is. Or what this phrase or that phrase is.

But I am able to pick the right answer without knowing all that stuff. And my score shows it!

But with GMAT Pill, somehow I got it. Maybe it's taught so that dumb people like me can actually understand things in a way that others can't. It could be because I got more and more used to the material, but one thing's for sure: I'm super glad I signed up.

I was trolling around various forums and reading other reviews. Everybody said good things about GMAT Pill. I figured there's GOT to be some negatives.

Well, there are. Let me point them out first:
- The interface is not super clean. They could probably hire some UI designers and make the site look really pretty. If you tend to judge things by their physical outward appearance, this is a point to note.

-You need a reliable internet connection. This was not a problem for me, but I would imagine people who plan to study at the local starbucks where the internet might be shaky - you should probably just stay at home and use your home internet--or even your work computer.

But there were so many more pros:

- sooo much easier to understand than all the MGMAT/Kaplan books I was using. Also much better than reading through all the forum threads in terms of time efficiency.

- most videos viewable on iPad on the go. This was helpful as I was commuting on the train. With WiFi access, I was able to watch the videos in the morning and on the way back home. I say "most videos" because the remaining ones you need to use a real computer to watch the videos.

- Zeke boils down all the SC questions into core frameworks. With the right mindset, you can actually kind of guess what you're being tested on if you can identify the sentence structure/framework upfront. This helped a lot. Coming into each question, I had a plan of attack. Before, I would just stare at it and just kind of haphazardly go about it without getting anywhere. But now I have an attack strategy.

--Lots more that I probably can't think about right now.

Anyway, I hope this review is helpful. I normally don't take my time to do this, but I really do feel Zeke has done a really good job and wanted to help him back for helping me.

I would consider coming back to GMATPill for essay editing help. I don't need it right now, but perhaps in a few months.

Good luck, everyone!

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.

I bought both the verbal and quantitative GMAT "pills" a little under a month ago but started with the critical reasoning (CR) pill today. Although I have read through all of the Manhattan GMAT books (8 books in the series hence my delay in starting the GMAT Pill), it still seemed that I was falling short on all sections of the GMAT (as per diagnostic test results)... and couldn't understand why. After going through the videos and quizzes for the CR pill, I was stunned... and dumbfounded... somehow, I internalized all the information Zeke taught... and did extremely well on the CR portion of the Diagnostic test in the OG as well as correctly answered the first 10 questions from the CR chapter... WOW!!! I never thought I would ever fully understand this portion of the GMAT... but Zeke's methods for CR has broken this barrier for me.... So far, the CR pill was EXTREMELY effective and I want to thank Zeke for creating this!!! Zeke's method of teaching this portion of the GMAT is EXCEPTIONAL and FAR BETTER than any GMAT trick/strategy guide out there. I can't wait to move on to Sentence Correction pill to see how well I do.... the GMATpill is really the light in the dark confusion that is the GMAT!!!!

this is the best material for gmat i have ever come across. Hats off to Zeke. The Verbal section alone make my score jump by 100.
I was having tough time improving my SC. My accuracy was highly fluctuating in SC and RC sections. Usually i dont believe in money back kind of offer but I read in Gmatclub that Gmatpill is genuine. So, I thought of giving it a try.
I took the Verbal package.
After watching the SC vedio I felt great comfort in the section. In short it was amazing experience. It worth much more than it costs.
I was not worried for CR. I knew that if I can do good in SC i can save a lot of time for RC. I went through RC section and I like Zeke's idea of cutting fuff. Indeed watching video is very efficient way to learn in very less time. Though i could not invest much time for RC Pill section still it improved my accuracy and saved me some time.

I could score more than 700 finally.

Thank you 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!

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!

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.
