"...I used this website to find out the best study sources and shortlisted to MGMAT and GMAXonline. i bought MGMAT sentence correction guide to start but was too lazy to start reading. Then i decided to purchase GMAXonline and it really made GMAT interesting [because] i could watch the online lectures while sitting in a bathtub or even while cooking. The key to a good score in GMAT is to study everyday, but after a hard day of work sometimes its really hard to get back to books. the lecture definitely made studying more lively and gave me the extra push that i needed to cross the 700 mark. I ended up with a 730 score and a lot of credit for that goes to GMAXonline. 
Since i was on a tight budget when i started my prep, i didn't feel like spending $400 for the course, so i ended up dividing the number of views between me and my friend. Since GMAX gives u 90 views for 30 lectures, we both managed to watch every lecture and a repeat of the topics we found a little tough. 
Overall, a 5 star rating from me to GMAXonline...."

My name is Michal and I participated in a TOEFL course given by GMAX.

During the course we solved tests and practiced work under conditions of time pressure.
I found the experience and the tutor to be very helpful and I was very pleased with the results: I scored 108 in the exam and thus was able to get accepted to UCLA, my dream university.

Thanks GMAXonline!

Hey everyone,

I was a GMAX student, and its GMAT got me to the school that I wanted, as a first fact.

I made a market research prior to applying to GMAX, and found it prices very convenient, also the service,  and  the location. Alona made her sales pitch on me and it worked, even though I am a sales person for years. The school has provided me with everything that it stood for: one on one lessons with the school director, personal assistance, guidance before/through/after the course. I needed someone to tell me what and when I should do, in classes they were Sarai and Israel, back in the office, David and Alona have guided me through. Personal attention, small details, guidance, any possible study material, they all were given to me by the school personnel and Leanna especially. Thanks guys, you made it worthy!

Best Regards,

Hello everybody!

Here's my case. I've scored 760 (Q49, V44) on the GMAT on Jun.28 2009 and I'm just going to explain what it took me to succeed. But first, a little background information since in my case it may be relevant. I live in Russia in a remote area where generally people have no idea of what MBA is, let alone the GMAT. The point is that in the process of preparation I was doing it all by myself. I mean almost all of you guys are living in an environment where there's a lot of other people doing the same thing (preparing for the GMAT) and you always have the opportunity to discuss the problems you encounter, which wasn't my case.

What did I do to prepare myself for the test.

I've purchased complete online course from the GMAX Online for $399, which is a reasonable price compared to actual physical courses out there. I also bought the OG10 because it wasn't included but was most frequently used during the course. The course itself covers all of the aspects of both verbal and quantitative sections. It consists of a total of 31 lessons with a duration of 2hrs in average. After each of those lessons you have to do a homework which is specifically relevant to the topic of each particular lesson. On average it took me another 2hrs to do a homework. During the course I took three simulation tests, which were included in the package, and upon completion of the course I took another two tests provided by Pearson VUE, creators of the GMAT (available on mba.com for free). Overall it took me two months for preparation. The GMAX course was comprehensive enough, so that no single question on the actual test took me by surprise. I also have managed not to sacrifice any question because of timing and I felt myself confident all through the test.
To make things clear, the GMAX course can't do magic by itself. I still had to work very hard in the course of preparation. But, like I said before, it covers everything and once you've done everything you're asked to - boom - you're ready for the test.
Another good thing about taking such kind of online courses is that you can actually save time and patience by skipping some parts of lessons, which contain the information you're familiar with. My major was in engineering so for me a lot of math was piece of cake and I just skipped it. By contrast, when I was taking the TOEFL classes at Kaplan in East Village NY, I was spending 60% of the time in the class listening teacher explaining obvious things to some other student. It was really boring and unproductive although besides of that I'm not saying anything negative about studying at Kaplan.
To sum up, for those able and willing to work hard the GMAX Online course may be the ultimate tool for getting a good grade at the GMAT.

Hi Joshua,

I'm writing to say, theat I got 210 pts on my test!

I am very pleased :)

I wanted to say thnk you again

you are a great teacher

Kate.

I just wanted to let you know that with the help of your course I scored a 738 on the psychometric exam, 150 in English, 148 in verbal reasoning and 132 in quantitative reasoning. Thank you.

All the best

I did the full course (Math and verbal) and thanks to you and your team got a 640 grade. I was accepted to IDC Hezliya (hamerkaz habein tchumy) global MBA program (everything is taught in English) and not only that I even got a scholarship that covers 20% of the tuition fee (that's real money if you know IDC fees).
 
Yesterday I successfully finished the one preparatorty course (economics) I had to take before the studies' start. I thought it would be a good opportunity to thank everyone in GMAX: Diana, David, Yisrael, Sarai, yourself and if I missed anyone (it's just me going senile) - please send them my thanks.
 
I must say GMAT was difficult for me and I can't say I was an expert in the verbal part. Nevertheless, I wouldn't have made it without GMAX. Everyone was kind, helpful and knowledgeable. The materials were helpful and all in all I believe GMAX program is the best in the market. I would certainly spread the word about you.

hi everyone!

I took the GMAX online course and i can say it really paid off. i decided to take an online course since i only had to months before the test. after i watched a demo lesson with the teacher Anner, i immediately decided to take the course. i was very happy with the course - including the method of teaching, which was very relavent and effective. i enjoyed the course very much, and i got 48 on the GMAT test (quantitative). in addition, leanna helped a lot with additional materials, which were great. amother reason to take the course would be the kind service and personal attention.

thanks,

Ella, S.

Hi Leanna,

I wanted to say thanks for all the help. I got a 47. Doing tests from different kinds & companies was very efficient and important. Every different kind of test gave me something, as well as the many exercises that were included in the disc.

The tutorial sessions with Omer were helpful as well, and I was able to deal with different topics and concepts.

So thank a lot, and I'd be happy to answer any questions regarding the test that I took today.

I took the GMAT exam 2 weeks ago and got a score of 720

51M, 36V

and 5.0 on the essays.

I would like to recommend the GMAX prep course for the GMAT exam:

- the classes are small and intimate

- the teachers are very warm hearted and helpful

- before beginning the course I was a bit discouraged by the fact that the classes are held in English (since I'm not a native English speaker), but soon I learned that this is a very effective method to get you into the "mood" of the exam. In addition, the teachers were very clear and explained in Hebrew whenever was necessary (almost never). 

Thank you Gmax,

Yoni.

Hi,

I wanted to thank GMAX for a great course. I contemplated a number of courses and eventually decided to study with GMAX.

The main reasons for my decision was that the GMAX Course is held in English rather than in Hebrew like in other places but I soon discovered other reasons to recommend GMAX.  During the course I always felt that there was someone professional to ask questions, I was given a lot of personal attention without which I would not have been able to achieve the same level of success  in the GMAT exam. Any question I had was answered immediately by phone or email, the GMAX staff was always available.

Thank you again,

I studied with Hedva, who was an excellent and attentive teacher. I felt that I was part of an organized teaching framework, which put me in the right pace with a personal instruction, in order to achieve the goals I had set for myself.

My score in the real test is 49!

Sincerely,

A course in English is the way they do it at GMAX, and it’s the right way to do it!

Here are some words from someone who took the GMAT course in GMAX:

The fact that the course is held in English, with terms you will need in order to solve problems in math, geometry, and statistics, forces you to deal with the difficulties in the GMAT test from day 1. After you’ve heard and used words such as perpendicular (such a long word for such a simple term) a few times every lesson, there is no way you would come across it in the real test and not know or remember what it means.

In addition to the teachers’ hard work, the amount of material you will cover and the various analyzing methods you will learn, this learning requires a lot of discipline and diligence throughout the course and up until you take the real test. Studying at the last moment will not help you here! The material is NOT easy, and the approach you will learn to apply in the course is very different from what you are probably used to.

I wish everyone good luck, and enjoy this course! Use the knowledge of the teachers and their will to help.

The GMAT exam is an American exam aimed at Americans applying for admission to American schools. It is therefore only natural for me that in order to compete with my American counterparts, I looked for American tutoring. This is precisely what I found at GMAX.

The GMAX course was planned and is taught by Americans in English, forcing the students to learn not only the specific material of the course, but also the exam writers' way of thought. The students were expected to adapt to an American "way of thinking" for the duration of the course, right up to the exam.

In addition, the small, almost intimate, groups allowed for nearly personal tutoring, and personal help was offered to students whenever a problem was recognized, so that the rest of the class did not suffer.

I added 150 points from the diagnostic test to the actual GMAT I took only two months later. For anyone aiming at a high GMAT score, GMAX is the only way to go!"
