========================
I recently completed my GMAT and managed to scale a score of 710 (Q49 V38) in the actual GMAT from my initial score of 630.
I had spent the entire month before my actual exam taking only mock Gmat exams. I have taken all the free tests available on the internet to date and also had brought few paid test packs from Manhattan prep, Veritas prep, Experts Global and GMAC practice tests.
Of all the test packages available, I found that the one which stood out amongst the others but not widely known to all aspiring students is the test pack from Experts global.
http://www.expertsglobal.com/gmat-practice-tests
The mock tests my Experts Global had a serious role in my 80 points improvement. Here are the main points that I would like to highlight:
15 Full length tests (Probably the highest number of tests by any company)
You get a Full set of 15 full length tests inclusive of AWA and IR. Most other packages are only for a meager 5 tests max. 15 tests with the feel of real GMAT were great help in making me get used to the testing environment and helped me get my timing strategies right.
Fair closeness with the real GMAT
Although Veritas Prep and Manhattan prep have been around for years now, the closeness to the actual GMAT questions (in my personal opinion) is very much lacking in these packages. I would say that both test packages were way too difficult than the actual GMAT. It was really surprising to see that the test package from Experts Global, something I chose out of serendipity, was really close to the actual GMAT. I would say that in terms of Question selection they have done a good job of emulating the actual GMAT level questions and despite 15 tests, I did not find the questions or concepts repeating- something that was my fear when I first opted for this test series.
Video solutions as well as written explanations
Instant Video solutions to all questions!!! It was the only pack which gives full Video explanations of the questions for better understandings and faster shortcuts. There is immediate clarification to understand where you have gone wrong. I also recommend you to go through the video solutions for questions you have answered right as you may discover faster shortcuts to these questions
A reliable scoring algorithm
Their scoring algorithm gives you a close estimate of the actual GMAT score. The average score from my last 7 tests from the test package gave a clear indication of my GMAT range. My final score in each section as well as overall test was almost accurately the arithmetic mean of my performance in test#13-15, the final three tests of Experts Global.
Detailed analysis- diagnosis of weak areas
The software gets better with more usage. In built analytics shows your weak areas to help work with them.
Separate Dashboards show Topics that need improvement, Time spent on various difficulty levels and a graph that shows your progress. A few seconds of inspection gives you clear idea about what you should work on before taking your next test
Great value for money
15 FULL LENGTH TESTS FOR $29!!!! That’s a steal no matter how you look at it!!!!!!
Overall
It is a killer deal that you get for $29 .The quality of questions and scoring pattern is a close resemblance of the actual GMAT. 15 tests coupled with all the free tests that are available are more than what you actually for exam practice. As Experts Global’s quality was impressive, I went on to enroll for their admissions services post the exam and I am very happy with the commitment of the team towards my admission in every stage. I received admits with scholorships from Michigan Broad, Mcgill, HEC montreal and UBC Sauder

When I came to Experts' global I was perplexed about my career plans. I had been working in Sales Job and I started getting a feeling that I can not continue in the same profile since my talent cant be best utilized in sales domain. Mayank sir took a day long session to identify my strengths and weaknesses. After thoroughly understanding my profile and my capabilities, he suggested me to go for GMAT which can open the doors for a bright career prospects and global understanding of business. Like many others I too had a dream to enter one of the top B-Schools in the world and become a global citizen.Experts' Global has been my guide, counselor and pillar of support throughout my GMAT preparation and Schools application. I really appreciate the help of Mayank sir for my GMAT preparation and Shailesh sir in application process. I am now admitted to University of Connecticut School of Business with 60 % Scholarship and looking forward to starting a global journey. I wish them all the best and hope they keep on guiding students so that the students can follow their dreams.I would like to recommend Experts' Global to future GMAT aspirants because the course material and the faculty enables you with the confidence and the ability to take the GMAT head-on.

I started my association with Experts Global 3 months back and enrolled for their classroom program. With their guidance I got 710 in my GMAT and will make another attempt for an even higher score.
Since I have been a planner always, I decided to start with my application process simultaneously. So, I am also seeking assistance from Experts Global (EG) for MBA application process. EG has an extremely professional way of doing the application work. They streamline the process and have made a plan with fixed dates for each milestone. I was surprised that my writing mentor kept following up with me for my inputs while writing my essays. While my first drafts are ready, I am working with the team for further refinement of the content.
Apart from suggesting the best ideas depending on my profile, they are also helping me build and improve my profile. I think that is just amazing. Every 10 days, I get reminders for sharing the updates. This kind of attention can be expected only at EG.
Also, the team is always sharing the latest developments in this field. The founder, Mayank Srivastava has great knowledge related to this field and B schools. I am glad I made the right decision of using the consultancy services of EG. I am hopeful that my continued association with EG and our combined efforts with help me land a good B school which aligns with my interests. Thanks team @ Experts Global.

Experts' Global is the best when it comes to admission consulting. Whole team is extremely professional and helpful. They follow an organized and streamlined process, which accommodates all the needs and requirements of their students and deliver accordingly. Just follow their lead and you will get the best possible admits given your profile.
Though their services are expensive but they pay for themselves when they help you get that additional scholarship! I received 6 admits and had scholarship offers from all them and even after that I was able to negotiate more scholarship with help from my mentors at Expert's Global.
Hello @MasterGMan,
Thanks for your kind words and a big congratulations on your admits!
Yes, for the holistic and personalized nature of consulting we provide, we may be a bit overpriced in comparison to other players. However, as already suggested by you, even a 5% scholarship can offset the difference you may be looking at :)
It was a pleasure working with you and we wish you the very best with everything that lies ahead! :)

Experts Global helped me a lot during my business school search; particularly helped me focus on my GMAT and application process. I was a busy working professional and had limited time only available during the weekend and the evenings during the weekday. The first things Experts did was to understand my motivation, strengths and challenges, even before we were to start working on my preparation plan. I recall meeting the team a few times before I started on my study plan. The planning helped me gain clarity on how I could go about my journey.
Phase 1 Helping you start your GMAT Prep: At the early stages, Experts helped me understand the exam format, breakup of each section and eventually put me through a GMAT diagnostics test. After the test, they helped me identify my areas of strengths and areas of improvement. Looking at my goals and the amount of time I could commit, they created a week by week plan. I particularly liked that strategy. The whole process of taking such a huge endeavor can be overwhelming and Experts helped me break down those goals into much smaller milestone which I could handle on a week on week basis.
Tip: If you are a working professional, one of your biggest constraints might be managing time. Experts team is good at helping you figure out your exam prep workload depending on your schedule with a 1-1 tailored plan. If the initial plan does not work, they help you tailor it up or down to get you going.
Phase 2 Building your momentum: Once I settled into a routine, Experts helped me with classroom sessions and study material from various credible sources to help me build deeper understanding of quant, logic, DI, verbal and overall time management.
Tip: Experts helped me keep track of my error logs, which I think was the biggest help I got from them. I could now see patterns or areas where I had to improve. The "error log" is a MUST have tool which I heavily recommend everyone to maintain. Often, I used to spend time just focusing on errors, which really helped me a lot.
Phase 3 Exam simulations: Once I reached a stage of comfort, Experts helped me focus on full length tests, which were timed just like an actual GMAT. These tests were again from a great pool of sources and allowed me to develop the skills needed to manage test anxiety, time and pressure. After each test, I spent time analyzing the results and especially compared that with my error logs. This was helpful in the last few months leading up to my exam date.
Exam: I spoke to Experts before the exam and got last minute tips to excel and stay composed during the test day, this advice is different than the general advice because, by now you would have figured out your style of test taking. Again, accessibility of Experts was very helpful.
Application Process: Once done with the Exam, I worked with Experts on the application process, instead of jumping on school names or rankings. We went back to the drawing board to reconfirm if my goals had remained the same or had changed. Experts provided a questionnaire to understand my preferences, my professional and learning goals, my financial concerns and pretty much everything which needs to be covered to help a person make a judicious decision.
Overall:
Experts is an excellent resource for GMAT and Business School application process. I would highly recommend them, especially because of their strengths to focus on each applicant individually and be a right partner irrespective of how long it takes to accomplish the goal. As a working professional, you need extra attention, which Experts provided to me and to others around me. I wish them my best.
Selections: Temple University Fox School of Business Philadelphia, USA, Virginal Tech Virginia, USA, Essec business school – France and a few more.

I was all excited when I decided to pursue an MBA immediately after graduation in 2008. This excitement died down pretty quickly. For a person from a background such as mine, IIM (Indian IT Male), getting selected for a high-quality MBA program proved to be a huge challenge. The worst part was that I did not have a single person in my entire network who can empathize with the challenges I faced.
After 2 years of struggle, I came across Experts' Global through a friend's reference. Then began a journey that made me the person I am today. The discussions I have had with the mentors at Experts gave me a whole different perspective about an MBA program.
I faced multiple rejections from top B-schools over a span of 3 years and the support I received from Shailesh, Mayank and Anand at Experts is the only reason that kept me going. I took constant feedback from them on the various facets of the admission process (essays, choice of recommendors, mock interviews etc). The most memorable phase of my MBA journey is during the time of applying to ISB for the 4th time. I got feedback on 20+ versions of my essays and 15+ mock interviews. These efforts paid off finally and I was able to land an admission in ISB, my dream school.
If you are willing to put in the effort to improve yourself, then ExpertsGlobal provides the platform to achieve your MBA dreams.
List of Schools I have converted with Experts' help : Smeal (Full Tuition Waiver), Boston University (Full Tuition Waiver), Tepper (Partial Tuition Waiver), Hongkong University, IESE, ISB
Dear Sai,
Thank you for the kind words!
It was a wonderful, meaningful association we had! While we did achieve admits from some premium institutions such as Tepper, we also had admits on full scholarships from worthy institutions such as Boston University. The highlight, however, shall remain the marathon interview preparation sessions we had for your ISB interviews (a worthy mention that always shows up in all our conversations!). As multiple mentors from our team interviewed you, the credit goes to you for living up to the feedbacks and working hard with us!
We are happy that you have graduated and are pursuing a career that focuses on technological innovation. The humility in your conduct has always been commendable and we respect you for the same.
Way to go, Sai!
Best wishes,
Experts' Global Team
Way to go, Sai!
In my experience of having been associated very closely with Experts Global, I have found the team extremely helpful. Over the span of my GMAT preparation earlier and the ongoing applications process now, I have seen them following a methodical approach with clear milestones. Every time I have missed a milestone, I have heard from the team, encouraging me to keep up with the tasks for getting the results.
This approach shows that my mentors are involved with me and they are equally (honestly, may be more :)) bothered about the results than I myself.
Thank you Experts Global team for all the genuine help!
Hello @SHire2709,
So good to hear from you! :)
Nothing gives us more happiness than to see our students make it to their dream schools; the methodical approach we follow is a means to that end! :) Very glad to know that our approach worked for you.
It was a pleasure mentoring you through the GMAT, as well as, the admissions consulting process.
All the best! :)

It has been a long association with Experts Global.
After completing my GMAT preparation with them, I approached them for applications and schools shortlisting. Mentors were appointed for both applications and interview preparations. They were always quick in responding and were even more sincere than me in the follow ups. Throughout the process, I never felt that any of my query went unanswered. The mentors were available over phone and through emails and were always updated with any changes. Experts Global did an excellent job and the whole process of applications and interview preparations was quite smooth.
I would strongly recommend their services to all who seek a great future and want to get into a great college. I hereby wish the entire team ALL THE VERY BEST..!!!
Dear Anshil,
We thank you for your words.
What a journey it has been! After the GMAT marathon, that lasted really long, owing to your sailing assignments, we could start your application process only in June, which is very late for international applicants to get admits. However, we appreciate your sincerity and due cooperation in acting proactively and completing all applications timely and then preparing rigorously for the interviews.
As a result, we have achieved some great results and we are glad that you will be flying soon for your MBA.
Needless to say, we will be in touch!
Congratulations!
Thank you once again!

Experts Global made me think deep and truly recognize what drives me and motivates me. I uncovered many aspects about my personality that remained under the surface for years, and was able to clearly articulate why I wanted to go for an MBA. This process was not comprised of a one-off hour-long phone conversation. It was a series of conversations and mentoring from the Experts team, focusing on my goals and helping me find the right path to achieving it. This is why I chose Experts - for the human touch. Every other consulting service that I explored had a money-minded client-vendor approach. The fact that I remained in touch with my mentors at Experts through B-school and till date is testament to their high-touch approach.
The results speak for themselves. Because of the way I was pushed by Experts, I was able to submit competitive applications leading to multiple top-tier interviews including Stanford and Duke. They not only guided me on the application process, but also provided personal guidance on building my unique timeline. In fact, it was based on my mentor’s advice at Experts that I decided to push out my application by a year. He helped me create a plan for that year on improving my profile and strengthening my application, all the along way providing answers to my hundreds of questions. He took the time out to speak with me and help me clear my mind on the best step forward.
I had only seen such guidance come from family members or close friends. I was pleasantly surprised to receive such attention to detail from a consulting service.
Additionally, I want to provide specific feedback on the following categories:
1. Quality of work: I was extremely pleased with the quality as my Experts mentor helped bring out the best in my story. I was able to tell my story in the essays in an honest and genuine way even though my storytelling skills leave a lot to be desired! They helped me bring out the small nuances and details that helped make my story memorable.
2. Professionalism: There is no sugar coating here. Be prepared to receive some tough feedback. But along with the tough feedback, my mentor also helped me work on my weaknesses in a systematic, well-laid out approach. They were extremely professional in their conduct and guidance. I was impressed.
3. Holistic nature of association: I paid just once but got constant guidance over the course of the entire year! Right from my GMAT prep to selecting schools to preparing the application. They even set up mock interviews with multiple mentors at Experts before the real ones. Their service went beyond expectations on all fronts.
I have already referred Experts to several of my close friends.
I will caution though that if you sign up, be prepared to do a lot of heavy lifting and trust the process. Don't expect to be spoon-fed, instead be ready to pull your weight. If you do that, you will not go wrong with Experts!
Dear Jyotishman,
Thank you for the kind words.
Working with you was a wonderful experience and that our association has lasted 5+ years since your graduated from MBA reflects the synergy we had in the association. Thank you for taking our advise, following the processes, and honoring the milestones.
We owe your success to your sincerity and hope that you continue to do well in your career and keep doing us proud!
Thanks again. Wish you all the very best!
Regards,
Experts' Global Team
