Great for the GMAT - 700 to 770

The material was useful, but more useful was the individually-tailored feedback I got in the expert assessment. A week before my GMAT, I was able to use that feedback to work on my speed and on focusing on the questions. The day of the exam, I was able to rush through the sections with time remaining at the end.

Amazing: Increased score from 540 to 640 in only 2 weeks.

Taking the course really helped me achieve my dream score. Especially the tutoring sessions helped me to work on my weakness: verbal. In only 2 weeks of studying with examPAL I increased my original 540 score to 640. It's the perfect match if you have hit a plateau.
Thanks a lot for the support!

Personally, I do not think it is a good prep course.

I personally did not find ExamPal's useful - while the lessons are very interactive, there was quite a big gap between what was taught (+ examples) versus what I saw on the actual GMAT exam. Furthermore, I hired a 1 hour session with a private tutor who was useless. I would not recommend, it is the worst of the three prep courses I tried.

Hi, Noah.

We're happy to receive any genuine feedback from our users, but we don't seem to have any user by that name using any of our products, so we are unable contact you directly. Since it doesn't resemble anything we've seen, we've also asked Trustpilot to locate you and figure out the nature of your comments.
Our tutors are online 7 days a week, so feel free to reach out and let us see how we may help you.
As a product that keeps adapting to any changes in the official test and its numerous variations, you can always be sure that you're covered if you decide to re-take it.

We also provide a score guarantee. This would mean, you would not pay anything for the course if you did not score 70 points or better (terms and conditions apply)

We are always available on The Economist tutor and examPAL websites to discuss this directly with you.

Thank you

The best I could ask for

As a non-native speaker with an undergrad degree in a language major, The Economist GMAT has proven to be the best tool I could ask for. The videos are easy to understand and have different tips to deal with each hard question.

Went from Q40 to Q49 and got a 710 with the economist tutor!

The program improved my quant score from Q40 to Q49 in three weeks and helped me to get a 710 total score. Among all GMAT prep materials, the economist GMAT tutor definitely has the highest ROI. With the allocated credits, I was able to complete all the video courses, get two additional practice exams and even talk to an experienced GMAT expert. You get all the tips and shortcuts you need to ace the test! 10/10 would recommend!!

To build solid fundamentals & Excellent for working professionals

What I really appreciate is Economist GMAT review by topic. Concepts need to be absolutely solid before diving in question banks. The Economist GMAT also trains the PAL approach, which stands for Precise, Alternative, and Logical. This is super helpful for me to understand my strengths and weaknesses, and to consciously train my weak spots. Last but not the least, the program allows me to work on my own time, without gibberish. This is very important for me as I have a full time job while preparing for GMAT, so the flexibility benefits tremendously in my situation. There are also great TAs to help, that I can just pop in my questions in the message box, and a qualified TA would answer within a few hours, if not one day turnover. Money well spent!

The Excellence

If you want to ace your GMAT Exam and improve your score, you must choose The Economist GMAT Tutor. This course is excellent from start to finish and it's worth the time and the cost. The PAL method teaches you how to solve literally every question you will encounter during your GMAT Exam Session, in a very unique and efficient way. At this moment, I can say that choosing The Economist GMAT Tutor to prepare my GMAT Exam has been and remains one of the best choice I have ever made so far.

Excellent course

In my opinion exampal is the perfect way to study for this type of exam.
You learn all the different approaches to solve the questions, thus you can find the right answer swiftly and efficiently.
The best part is that you can improve following a style that suits you, the course adapts to you and not vice versa.

The Economist program is great

The Economist program is great. My score went up 60-80 points to a 750. What really helped put it over the top were sessions with Ari to understand my missed questions.

Thanks EXAMPAL!

Increased Cognitive Flexibility with ExamPAL

I did the ExamPAL course mainly because I needed a different approach to the Quant section of the GMAT. Because I often looked at GMAT Club for answers, and because those solutions are often precise, textbook solutions, I only had one tool in my arsenal: the precise approach. ExamPAL equipped me with alternative and logical approaches as well, giving me greater flexibility when faced with problems I couldn't immediately solve using a precise approach. I ultimately scored a 730. Thanks!

Flexible comprehensive course

Would highly recommend this course. I took the mid-tier package because I hadn’t done maths for almost twenty years. I ended up doing the GMAT online without the essay component and I loved the flexibility of the credits which allowed me to do extra practice tests with the credits I would normally have used for essay marking and feedback. I also did a last minute hour with a tutor which was great. I scored 670-710 on my original diagnostic tests, and got 740 in the actual exam (with 760s on some of the practice exams)

Excellent Resource

This program was an excellent guide to prepare for the GMAT. I really appreciated that it was a full guide which you stepped through. You could see your progress throughout and it allowed you to focus on areas where you needed more help. It was crucial in my review process and ultimately helped me obtain a 770.

All that being said, it was less helpful at provided targeted help for the most advanced questions.

Great course!

I used The Economist GMAT tutor and it has been crucial to my success of scoring 710 in the official exam. The course is extremely well structured and keeps your preparation on track. The PAL approach discussed in the solutions is really a great way to train your mind for GMAT. The content is very rich, presented in a great way, and the tutors are very prompt in their responses. Highly recommend the course!

The platform appealed to me due to the "path of least resistance" sort of approach to maximizing my score. I didn't find that everything was perfect for me insofar as explanations and whatnot, but then again this isn't a necessarily bespoke course with private tutoring throughout. I reached out with concerns and doubts partway through the course and was given the opportunity to address and work through some of the hangups that I was experiencing and given some tools to work through my issues.

It's good at what it does and helped increase 110 points from my cold diagnostic score to the real deal.

Great program.

This program was excellent and did a great job of preparing me for the type of questions I would see on the GMAT. The thought process that they teach is invaluable in making sure that you are able to achieve the best score you are capable of attaining.

Not enough for fist time GMAT test-takers. Customer support is not the best

If this is your first time taking the GMAT, I strongly suggest you review other materials first (Manhattan strategy guides). ExamPAL has not been enough for me as a Stand alone package.
You also have a credit system - every time you do/redo a question, you lose credits. You don’t have unlimited access for the period stipulated on your package. If the credits are over before that time, you can’t go through the questions again.

What is good about ExamPAL is that it offers you three ways to solve the same problem and it adapts the difficulty of the questions with your progress.
