I too would agree with Andrew. You will come across these unethical marketing very often.

For example, there are same set of people awarding kudos to a particular person. The moment a single line is posted, even if it does not make any sense at all, you will have a certain set of 7-8 people jumping to award kudos, that too within 1 to 2 hrs of posting. So, yes you may find lot of kudos cheaters and fake reviews, but it is for you not to fall prey to them. Will help you in your critical reasoning too by analysing such posts.

By the way, the user who initiated this post too joined just to post this message. So, could easily be a fake account of one company crying foul about fake review of another.

For all the genuine students there, do not follow any prep company blindly. Look at their rep’s reply on forum and also the trial offers to gauge their standard. Remember, it is just not the money you are losing but the most precious commodity ‘time’ too.

ok look EGMAT is not a fake company, I can't comment about the review racket etc. but I can on my experience with the product.

Bottom line: I used it, found it helpful and it helped me get my GMAT score. Verbal is great, Quant can be improved - esp since some of the methods they teach take way too long. 4/5 is what I reviewed them.

I got asked to review them on GMATClub and did so. I got a $10 Amazon voucher - however I believe this is a GMATClub policy not an EGMAT policy.
I also got asked to do a video debrief but chose not to. I was not incentivised in any way.

It's a good product - better than the others? I don't know as I didn't avail any other GMAT Prep service.

I enjoyed the analogy, PyjamaScientist, but the highlighted advice is sagely. We can worry about others—what they are doing, what they look like, how successful they appear to be—and probably feel a lot worse about ourselves, but we can also choose to focus on what is in front of us—exam, health, loved ones.

Thank you for another meaningful contribution.

I wanted to point out that the IP address used by the OP amangmat76 and author of the topic this discussion refers to studyprep282 are the same and overlap by 14 out of 25 posts that studyprep282 has. I am not sure what the motivation may be but I thought it was relevant in this case when people talk about pretending and impersonating. I feel each day brings sadder news

P.S. I usually don't check it but perhaps I should do it more often...

I mean to say the way the portray their success everywhere is fake.
Paying that 10$ is an incentive. Most people are pushed to do it.

Proof of them faking reviews is in front of you. Look up the post I am talking about.

Yes, I can second what AndrewN says above. This company is far from the only offender when it comes to misleading advertising.
