I engaged with Experts Global in mid 2014 to prepare for GMAT. Being a working professional on 6 days a week working schedule I opted for online prep option. That allowed me to pace and manage my preparation per my needs.
One of the big challenges I faced prior to engaging with Experts Global was the quality of study material. If you scour the internet, GMAT club, and many other forums, you will find a plethora of question banks, reference material etc. Like many I used to explore all these resources but being a working professional this was an inefficient time consuming process. I didn't have to worry about the quality of study material with experts global. Their expertise came in providing me with the accurate and most useful study material, question banks at different stages of my GMAT preparation - beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Overall this organized approach helped me be highly efficient and focused in my preparation which was a key contributor to my success. I made the most use of online lectures and videos (I watched and re-watched) them so many times till I got my concepts right. Further online tests helped me dive into analytics of where I was going wrong and effectively highlighted the areas I need to work on.
I gave my first GMAT on August 2014 and scored a 660 - I was having a bad day because I was recovering from sickness. Having said that Experts worked with me to analyze problem area and build a strategy to improve the score. I spent another couple of months preparing with a focus on verbal eventually scoring 740.
I cannot emphasis this enough - as a working professional I didn't have the luxury of a lot of time to spend on my preparation. I needed right guidance and efficient and focused approach which is flexible to my requirements and that is precisely what I got from Experts Global Online Prepration.

I have used Experts Global services for both GMAT preparation and Admissions Consulting and I have only high praises and glowing reviews for their services. In this review I want to focus on how they helped me improve my score from 660-740.
I was enrolled in Expert's Global online preparation program from mid 2018. I gave my first GMAT in August 2018 scoring 660 (primarily because I was recovering from sickness). Disappointed yet persistent I reached out to my mentors to figure to how to approach next phase of preparation to improve my score.
We analyzed different reasons for low score include weak areas in Verbal I needed to focus on and building stamina to have a consistent focus throughout the duration of the exam. Experts helped me with resources, materials, and question banks that I would use for next couple of months to hone my skills. They also helped me set up a plan where I would set up small sprint (15-20 min) testing sessions to build stamina and accuracy in verbal session. Overall with practice and consistency of work I was able to score 740 in my second attempt and I credit Experts Global for their support and guidance to help me achieve this score.
I was looking for IR courses as this section is quite time consuming and draining but has been ignored by the most study materials. During my reaserch, I came across the AWA and IR course by Experts Global. I needd help with AWA as well so I oped for this course.
It was great to have a dedicated course for these sections and Experts Global has taken good care of them.
Excellent videos for IR and AWA
There are separate training videos for each type of CR questions- graphics, two part etc. The videos are brief in theory and focus on explanation through examples which makes them interesting and you feel invested in them.
For AWA, they have broken down the videos interestingly to make it easy to understand and develop an efficient approach. I particularly liked the video where they elaborated on how to use 30 mins on the section. Such detailed handling of the section is what you expect and that is exactly what you get with Experts Global.
Short exercises
The exercises make you practice questions of different types. The video explanations to every question is a very helpful tool as you get to learn a more efficient approach every time. AWA explanation videos were particularly impressive as the trainer explained in details all the flaws in reasoning and I found myself missing some of the most basic ones each time and learnt from my misses.
15 mocks- so 15 exercises for AWA and IR
Apart from the sections for AWA and IR, the 15 mocks that you get with the course help you practice each section with every mock. I think this is where I actually got to improve because during my main preparation, the focus was on Quant and Verbal.
In conclusion, a very good course for anybody looking to focus more on AWA and IR. I was so impressed by their AWA, IR, and mocks that I opted for their full course.
Hello @Dh4035,
Glad to learn that our portal could help you achieve your GMAT goals!
All the best!

This is a great option for anyone preparing for GMAT and seeking help from scratch. I started with Experts Global for their AWA and IR course as these sections are not properly covered in any study material.
I was so impressed by their content and approach that I decided to enroll for their complete GMAT course. Since then, only the Experts Global material and GMAC resources are what I referred.
SC:
The sentence correction books were truly amazing and explained everything from the level 0 to the highest difficulty. As someone who never took English grammar seriously, I needed extra help of sentence correction and this book gave me that.
The SC videos were really helpful and after covering the complete theory from the very detailed books, were very refreshing as they focused on practical approaches for problem solving and meaning.
The stage wise exercises were very helpful. After a large bunch of topic wise exercises in first stage, a larger bunch of unsegregated exercises provided the right balance of learning the concepts and practicing on GMAT like screen.
The questions were very interesting and challenging and completely GMAT like. Stage 3 of prep was particularly challenging as it had only 700 level questions. I learnt a lot by getting a lot of those questions wrong and using the explanations.
Overall, I think SC is one of the core strengths of Experts Global course and this really helps as most applicants I know struggle with SC the most.
CR and RC:
The videos covered the concepts briefly and the emphasis was on learning through examples and video explanations. I found this approach helpful for me as the action based learning kept me interested and invested in the prep. Until Experts' Global, my RC and CR prep was ignored and boring but this changed to a great extent after enrolling for Experts Global's complete course.
The questions were really high in quality. I found the CR questions really interesting and testing the nuances- how GMAT does it. The questions on GMAT verbal section are difficult because the correct and incorrect answer choices have small rather than clear differences; I found this in only Experts Global questions other than the official questions. Great work.
Quant:
Amazing is the word. It's commendable how they have a separate section for the smallest of quant concepts tested in the exam. For example, they have a separate section for a small concept like alligation- a topic I never understood earlier. Such small topics really help in focusing on that very topic and completely learning it. The videos were brief, interesting, and extremely helpful. The questions were extremely tricky and challenging but very GMAT like, not extremely lengthy and complex as some of the private companies make it. Video explanations were very helpful. The large set of videos that they call "GMAT Shots" are particularly helpful as they helped to keep revising important things.
AWA and IR:
Very well covered. I will elaborate on this in my review for AWA and IR course option.
Test series:
The best, best, best test series is by Experts Global. Take my word.
The quality of questions is amazing. The scoring is very close to the reality. The testing screen totally resembles GMAT, making GMAT look familiar. The spread of concepts tested and diffculty of questions is brilliant.
The test series had 15 mocks so I did not have to bother about the number of mocks I have and could try different section orders, timings etc but I could still not complete all 15.
When you finish a test, you get an amazing screen with some great analysis done up for you and to an extreme degree of depth. Excellent.
A great option for GMAT. I will recommend it to anyone prepping for GMAT.
My preparation for GMAT lasted really long and I wish I learnt about Experts Global earlier. I was using their test series when I learnt about their full program and knowing about the quality of their work through the mock tests, I knew that I have to opt for their complete program.
I paid the full price as there was no promotion then but I don't regret it at all. The course is simply the best for GMAT, among all options. The videos are the base of everything and they have done a great job at keeping the videos really crisp but highly informative. The exercises are great and every question is on the GMAT's interface followed by some fine insight through analysis and numbers about how you performed.
The option of sticky notes and flags are handy helps and a special word for their online platform- it is really comprehensive but very easy to navigate and to keep a tab on one's progress and performance.
The AI bit keeps telling you the weak areas as per your recent performance and this really helps you in knowing that which topics as well as type of questions need more attention. It's good to see when weak topics or question types change, it meant that I had overcome an earlier weakness and now needed to overcome the next weakness.
Great option for those preparing for GMAT.
Still, I will see that you must take free trial of all main courses and see that whose style suits the best to you. For me, Experts Global was a long way ahead of other options.
Cheers.

I attended the classroom program in 2017. Before joining, I took a few mocks and the scores were ranging in low 600's. The difficulty I was facing was that my preparation was unstructured and I was solving random problems. My quant score was always around 49-50 but I was struggling with low verbal scores. At Experts', I was provided with the study material which had new and unique verbal questions for all sections and in the order of difficulty. Also the weekly lectures and doubt sessions by my mentor Mayank sir helped me a lot. He is highly experienced in GMAT coaching and makes things easier to understand. I followed his each and every instruction religiously and things started doing wonders for me with mock scores touching 700+. However, I failed to replicate the score in the actual test, but Mayank sir left no stone unturned to encourage me and to keep me motivated. He was also very prompt at resolving any query. As a result, I was able to raise my score from 600 to 720 (Q 49 V 39) in the span of just 21 days.
Apart from the quality study material and an exceptional mentor, Experts' is also armed with a world-class teaching infrastructure, which enhances the learning experience and I highly recommend Experts' Global classroom program for GMAT prep.
I had an excellent experience learning from Experts' Global's online portal.
GMAT option from Experts' Global is far ahead of any other on-demand course..
They have really short videos that focus on specific concepts, making it easy to focus and one stays duly interested while watching.
The exercises are rich and quite challenging- you learn a lot. The explanations are detailed and the video explanations are a great bonus.
The 15 mocks are outstanding and really helpful for knowing your correct level as well as analyzing and learning a lot at the same time.
The platform is really smart with some innovative tools which really aid in preparation and make studying a lot easy and interesting. I particularly liked the huge set of short videos covering all important things for GMAT; I would keep watching them on my phone all the time as they helped me revise important stuff for GMAT and teach ways of solving problems and useful concepts that I had never seen before.
I found the course equally good for quant asection well as Verbal. It helped be break the 40 barrier in Verbal and score perfect 51 in Quant. Even AWA and IR were very well covered.
The program did wonders for me and I wholeheartedly recommend it.
When I signed for the course, I was not very sure as the company was in initial phase.
But once the prep started, everything fell in place. Planner was given and followed strictly to keep things on track.
I used to take the prep Test as per the planner and I saw my score improve consistently.
I asked a lot of doubts and they were cleared every week in the sunday class. Regular interactions with Mayank sir did help me work on my weak areas and I started getting consistent scores.
It helped me keep track of my progress and I felt motivated.
Eventually all ended well and I scored a 730
I took all the 15 tests during my prep.Since they provide so many tests in the pack,you can take them at regular intervals from the beginning of your prep itself,and still have some left at the crunch end of your prep.The questions are in sync with the typical gmat questions types. the test page also shows detailed analysis of your performance
The solutions are really helpful,as they are in video format,and apart from that,they answered my queries on email whenever I was doubtful of the methods.Pretty useful set of tests for the money.
Extremely satisfied with the course martial provided.It is divided in stages,along with great video explanations.The flagging,stickies and review system helps you to keep track of the questions you need to put more effort towards.Helped me strengthen my basics and then work towards getting a good score.The awa guide is also good.It also has a section called "shorts",that includes short videos of things we often ignore during the prep stages.The practice timer is a blessing in disguise,use it to your advantage while practicing. Indeed one of the best courses out there.
