I don’t know who these guys are either :-) but I can tell you that numerous analysis and research of various verified candidates and their score improvement showed that some of the most expensive courses in the United States provide an average improvement of about 150 points. These are in person courses that cost over $1000 and use proprietary materials. This is an average number that means that someone may have gotten only 50 points and someone else may have gotten 200. Improvement varies on a person by person.

They have probably been fewer than 20 total people on GMAT Club who have improved the score by 300 or more points.

If you believe that some guy in a basement with some scraps can outperform large prep companies that spend millions on improving their materials, you’re fooling yourself. Score improvement is a very personal characteristic. Some people will improve with nothing while others will struggle with the best of materials. Obviously A rising tide lifts all boats, but the point being, you have to be realistic with your expectations and not fall so crazy promises. Again, we only have fewer than 20 cases of people improving by 300 points or more. It is a pretty big deal when someone improves by 200... so don’t let someone tell you that you should improve 300 points and then shame you for not doing enough work. It was not a realistic expectation. You can count on an average of 150 points for and in person or online class that keeps you on schedule and if you do all your homework very diligently.

But if you delegate your prep or think that the active paying some dude a large sum of money will somehow make you more likely to study then you’re simply fooling yourself and you deserve to part with the money because you chose to do that knowing in the back of your mind but likely this isn’t going to work... But you decided to not listen to yourself and not to take the hard path but instead pay for an easy path that would likely not network... and then you end up with a product that did not work and a bunch of shortcuts and no knowledge gained.

We reap what we sow.

His study material is simply poor quality copy paste work. None of his claims can be verified. Refrain from falling to his gimmick.

In last November, someone sent me word doc of Sandeep Gupta's questions and asked me for help. When I solved his doubts, I found that those questions were Manhattan 700 level questions. I suggested my friend, who was still struggling with 600 level questions, that do not attempt these questions because a:) these are 700 level Manhattan questions b:) few of these questions are copied incorrectly c:) you can find better formatting and correct questions on gmatclub.

Here is what I have heard ->
HE IS A CON!
HE IS A CHARLATAN!
HE FORGED DOCUMENTS!
HE MISREPRESENTED HIS GMAT!


I don't know if those things are true.But there are a heck lot of candidates that are saying its true.
Plus everyone tells me that his New Delhi centre is so bad that you end up studying on your own!

Why the risk?

Go pro! Go online!
You atleast know that you would get quality material.

There has been a score verification feature on GMAT Club since 2017. This feature works for both the GMAT online and the test-center GMAT, and covers all scores from the last 5 years.

If you doubt a GMAT tutor's score claims, then I would either ask them to verify their personal scores here on GMAT Club, or to give you the unique link to their Pearson Vue score report + date of birth. (The Pearson Vue URL + DOB method currently works for test-center GMAT scores only.)

Now that this GMAT Club score verification feature has been available for over 5 years, there is no reason why a GMAT tutor who claims high scores could not take a recent exam, and easily verify their scores via either of these methods.

Of course, you could also ask for the tutor's mba.com login and password, but this type of request is generally regarded as overly intrusive due to privacy concerns.

Hey,

Sandeep sir course is a scam to earn your money by prying on your insecurities.

It is one of the worst courses. One of my friend bought it and because he was new to GMAT preparation, they showed him a few testimonials. But it was found many those 500-780 testimonials were by their own employees.

Now we come to study material. He claims that all the questions are 700+. I borrowed a few PDFs and found that all the questions i searched were available on gmatclub. Also, most questions were of easy level which defies their claim.

Also, their claim that all students get above 760+ score is bogus. My friend studied with them for four months. Got abysmal 620. Then he asked them why so low and your claim is false. But they said you did not follow the course material in the "right manner".

These are gimmicks like clickbait ads and articles. Donot follow them

Some people judge without ever attending.
Some people don’t even understand the actual value of the course.
Some people find any reason to not buy.

Think like a buyer, and you’ll always feel cheated. Think like a seller, and it’ll sound like music to your ears

There aren’t many people that teach 500-1000 students at once. The sheer scale at which he operates is insane. I bet most GMAT trainers don’t feel confident to even teach 2 people at once.

My score is improving and genuinely it’s thanks to only one person alone - and that’s Sandeep Sir. His ambition for you is far greater than the one you set for yourself. They are the most caring bunch you’ll find. He has incorporated everything he could from whichever course he could find.

Think what you want, have your negativity biases and you’ll never grow beyond a point. I’m happy if something works for you - I just don’t understand the logic of a prospective student / student who hasn’t even finished the whole content with sincerity to pass comments. You paid the money to learn and improve, if it doesn’t that’s a different thing altogether. Yet, if you don’t finish and you have your own opinions to pass, kind of a cheap thing to do.

I believe in sir and the extra programs he conducts is just exemplary. Nobody is perfect, even god has theists and atheists and agnostics. If you seek that much perfection, you’re bound to be disappointed with absolutely anything in this world - and finally with yourself.

I would 100% recommend his course. I’m sure the other courses are great too - and you would recommend it 100% too. At the end of the day, whatever works and helps you get the score that you want.

Its about personal experience, Competitive exams training is more dependent upon how you use resources, guidance you receive and how you prepare. I believe while making profit is every business out there, some take customers/users for granted. There are some good old experienced GMAT coaching institutes, I took coaching from Sandeep Gupta and team, I was able to scale up from 680 to 730. Few others in my batch did but some could not scale that much. If its worth trying, I would say YES as you will hear stories about everyone literally so I would suggest use your own intelligence.

Hi All, Can anybody tell me your opinion about the Top 1% gmat coaching by Sandeep Gupta. I have heard alot about the mis-representation about his GMAT 800 score. But keeping that thing aside, does his coaching really helps in getting good score? I have seen some videos and also gone through some of his material, doesn't seem that much bad to me. Anybody has any personal experience regarding his way of teaching or method followed as compared to other tutors out there like e-gmat, Economist GMAT etc please do share with me. Thanks

Confused
