Bloomberg Exam PrepReviews of bloombergprep.com

I have subscribed for Level 1, 2, 3 - It is useful to some extent but I must say, customer service does not respond timely. They explain you concept, end of concept summary is given, followed by practice questions. Sometimes summary does not reflect necessary things concept explained - so summary is not useful every time. Some concepts do not provide practice questions, you keep reporting and no one responds on time, standard response is thank you for letting me know, that's really helpful suggestion, i will surely pass it to our product team and nothing happens. There are many concepts misleading, not clearly explained ( i believe that's on purpose) so this way they encourage to use " Ask a tutor feature" - basic plan only covers 2-3 questions but there are so many concepts that are not clearly explained and yet tutor keeps saying content is correct as it - submit your question through ask a tutor.

I have been using Bloomberg GMAT prep for the last 2 months, and I’m definitely satisfied with the services provided. The adaptive learning technology analyzes your strengths and weaknesses, helping you to focus on the most important points. Even if you already know how to tackle a problem, the detailed solutions provided will help you gain time by directly applying the correct method/formula. Time is an issue for almost everyone in the GMAT, so such advice is precious. Of course, if you struggle with a specific part, the online courses are really useful as well, and you will start by learning the basics thanks to concrete examples. The difficulty of questions gradually increases when the algorithm sees that you understand the concept. The wide variety of questions offered provides good training and prepares you for all possible situations that you will face during the real GMAT Exam. You will only achieve a good GMAT grade if you know how to tackle the (often) tricky formulations of questions. Full disclosure: I was offered a free plan upgrade as an incentive for publicly sharing my experience, but they did not see my review in advance nor try to influence my review in any way except requiring that it be a genuine review that includes this disclosure. The only aspect that could be improved would be to offer a specific training part where all types of questions are mixed (for example, ratio/algebra/speed/combinatorics problems for the quantitative part). As of now, you can only work on specific subchapters or practice with a complete mock exam. To sum up, I would clearly encourage friends or other relatives aiming at preparing for the GMAT to use Bloomberg GMAT Prep!

I have thought about doing an MBA to help me in a change of career path. I stumbled on the GMAT Bloomberg Exam Prep by accident as I was searching for various resources online to help me learn more about the GMAT and how to prepare for it. After looking at other materials online and spending a few hours I must say that the Bloomberg Exam Prep program seems very thorough. Sometimes it may feel like it is almost too thorough (explaining the difference between adverbs and adjectives for example), but it does need to cater to people who are not native English speakers (like myself). Some parts of the program can be quite redundant and fastidious. However, when it comes to sections that can be quite difficult, the explanations, the workarounds, and the tips are extremely valuable in my opinion. There are always small suggestions on how to save time and be the most efficient with your time. The questions that are timed are also a great asset as they may help you better manage your time. At the end of each timed question, one needs to evaluate themself and estimate how long it took to answer the question, which, I believe, can be very helpful. The one negative side of the timed questions is that you are not warned that the question will be timed until you have started such question. A simple warning that the next question will be timed and the timer only starting once you have clicked on a “ready” button would be greatly appreciated. Please note, I was offered a free plan upgrade as an incentive for publicly sharing my experience. Nonetheless, they did not see my review in advance nor tried to influence my review in any way and it is my genuine experience with this program. All in all, I believe this to be a good program. It guides you through all the stages of the GMAT and pinpoints your weaknesses so you can work on them. The user experience is neat, making it very accessible. The dashboard and the statistics are also a great plus to have a quick idea on how well you are doing. I would honestly encourage friends to try it out if they are thinking about preparing for the GMAT.

This program (CFA Level III) was a total waste of time. It focuses on material that is far away from the CFA LOS. It appears to be based on the curriculum from 5+ years ago based on the CFA guideline answers that are posted online. The software is very sloppy. When trying to the take mock exams online it constantly pauses and deletes your responses, so you have to re-write answers 3x over. It marked me wrong for questions I got right. There are writer comments (like, software developer comments) in the vignettes. Overall, it's no help at all for passing the exam. It may actually do more harm than good. Update: Chad, in response to your comment- I did contact you at one point and received no response.

I’ve been studying for the GMAT for quite a while but didn’t really feel like I was improving. I’ve seen a lot of the different prep courses out there but wasn’t sure what kind of value I would be getting and if I could not just reproduce the results by studying on my own. Finally, I decided to give Bloomberg Exam Prep a try. For full disclosure, I was offered to be upgraded to the free plan upgrade as an incentive for sharing my experience, but this is my honest take. They have not seen or influenced this review in any way, except requiring it to be my genuine take and to disclose this to you. After first accessing the website, I was instantly surprised by the interactive format. Every single step of the introduction was guided by multiple choice quizzes. This sparked my interest and I started progressing with the lectures. In the first few lectures, I started getting a feeling that some of the content was a bit trivial, different schemas for solving problems were introduced and I pondered whether it was really necessery. Turns out, it was. When the more difficult questions started appearing, my brute force ways were proven ineffecient and sometimes faulty. One important indicator that helped me realise this, was the timing test of the exam problems. Throughout most lectures, a few exam problems would be included, and for each problem, I was supposed to estimate the time it took me to solve it. Not only did I take too long on a lot of problems, I was also considerably underestimating the time I was taking. That was a humbling experience. Because of this realisation, my confidence in the taught methods increased and I abandoned my other ways of studying for the GMAT. Other features I really like include: the progress bar, the recommended lecture, and the weakest chapter display. The entire feedback system is greatly appreciated, but it is also something that can be further approved. I personally like to have full overview of my progress so a more detailed statistics report would be great. I have seen very promising results so far and have gained a new confidence in my study plan. I would certainly recommend you to try it out.

I have purchased a prep course for my GMAT preparation from Bloomberg Exam Prep. I have liked the prep course very much. I have been using this GMAT prep course for long time. I have found that this prep course offers training on every single concept both in Quant & Verbal required for GMAT. Concept wise, the prep course offers lessons on every concept possible. These lessons train users on foundation of the related topics, skills required to perform well in that topics and strategies to follow while performing in those topics. The lessons are adoptive to the users learning experience. For example, in each lesson it checks the user’s understanding on the topic and adjusts the lesson design to train the user by considering the user’s current level understanding. After every step in the lesson, it checks whether the user’s understanding is improved by asking few questions on that related topic. Even after proving sufficient training on a topic, it tests the user’s overall performance on the concept by asking real GMAT questions at the end. The tests’ results are analyzed and discussed further to help improve and guide the user for further improvement. That is how this prep course covers all concepts in Quant & Verbal including analytical writing and integrated reasoning. The style of training helped me the most in improving my Quant performance such as Combination & Permutation concepts learning. The overall course progress is shown in the dashboard which is very useful to guide the preparation further. You can see the screen shot of the dashboard I have attached here to understand the experience. “Full disclosure: I was offered a free plan extension as an incentive for publicly sharing my experience, but they did not see my review in advance nor try to influence my review in any way except requiring that it be a genuine review that includes this disclosure.” … Of course there are lacking too in this prep course I have found. The prep course did not have sufficient training to help me in improve my time based performance. I do not know, but I felt my answer time for a question is more than the test requirement standard. This time based answer is crucial for a good score. In addition to that I did not find accumulated testing in this prep course. An accumulated testing arrangement could keep me updated with all the lessons covered at every moment. Other than this, Bloomberg Exam Prep for GMAT is the best thing happened in my GMAT preparation journey.

MSc student here prepping for GMAT to get into BS in London. Been using the Bloomberg Exam Prep GMAT platform intensively for almost 3 weeks now (up to 20-30 lessons per day). I haven’t used any other source to practice for the GMAT, but also never felt the need to do so. The platform guides you through Verbal and Quant with short lessons (this can range from 1 to 10 minutes), and helps you build a strong foundation in theory and strategies. If you have no idea where or how to start, I think this is a good place. You will get familiar with the exam very quickly and get a strong foundation of theory and strategies that you need to succeed. Some things may seem very easy in the beginning, I almost didn’t notice when it started to get difficult. You really build your knowledge gradually and at a steady pace. The AI-generated platform seamlessly transitions between both quant and verbal sections, which provides a very well-rounded practice experience imo. The most important pros of using Bloomberg for me personally are how you can really track your progress and how you switch topics quickly. You don’t need to make your own schedule. Bloomberg does it for you. It chooses based on what you’ve done in the past which topics to cover each day, and you get practice questions every day. It’s almost like a game and you get plenty of positive reinforcement, which makes studying for the GMAT way more fun lol. You can track your success rate and the average time you take to answer GMAT-level questions. This is very important to me, since it helps me to stay motivated and disciplined. I'm also a big organiser and the platform is already so organised that you don't need to waste time on this anymore (view screenshots). All you need to do is put in the hours. The fact that the lessons are short, and you change topics quickly, are also really important benefits imo. I personally get bored easily, and I believe this helped me to stay focused. There are some downsides. Reviewing past mistakes separately is not possible and it is unclear if the platform automatically repeats specific practice questions that you struggle with in the past. The difficulty of questions is also not explicitly stated, and I think the platform could benefit more from challenging GMAT questions. But maybe I’ll need to get past 50% completion of the course. I'd love to post more about this once I'm past 50%. Overall, I still think the platform is very effective, having covered “only” 30% of the content. I’m really curious what the remaining 70% will be, since I feel like I’ve learned a lot already. Full disclosure: I was offered a free plan upgrade as an incentive for sharing my experience, with no prior review or influence from Bloomberg, except for the requirement of a genuine review including this disclosure. You can always send me a msg for any related questions

I've been studying for GMAT for the last couple of months, choosing which way wasn't so hard for me as I followed my sister's steps and chose to do it through GMAT prep by Bloomberg. Honestly, I can say that so far, I'm content as the interface promises a learning curve plan according to your goal based on an AI system that tracks your progress and, supposedly, provides you with tailored questions and explanations. The dashboard provides statistics of success rates, time per questions answered, divides the lessons per day based on your date of exam. So far, I didn't answer yet exam examples or the essay, but these two are also revied by the AI system and human reviewers respectively. I believe it was a good choice for me, as I can only study from home because of time constraints.
