Sherpa PrepReviews of sherpaprep.com

Enrolling in Sherpa prep was the best decision that I could have made while gearing up for the GMAT. The value that the program offers is unlike any other prep course I have seen on the market. Nafeez and the rest of the sherpa staff show a level of experience and knowledge that shines through in every aspect of the course design. The prep is broken down into specific phases with detailed guidance every step of the way, which means that no matter where you are in your journey, you will not feel like you are on your own. They truly know this test inside and out, and they are well aware of what it takes to be ready for it in terms of both content and strategy. The sessions feature small class sizes with extremely experienced instructors. But even beyond the classes themselves, there is an enormous catalogue of resources at your disposal. The material is based solely off of official GMAT questions both in style and in substance which goes a long way on the day of the real thing. By trusting my instructors and sticking to the specific plan that was laid out for me, I was able to hit my goal of 720 on the first attempt.

Phenomenal course, great instructors, unparalleled competitive advantages

Amazing experience. Sherpa prep took an individualized approach to me as a student.

Sherpa Prep is amazing. The team is very knowledgeable and clearly devotes a significant amount of effort into ensuring they have the highest quality prep course available on the market at all times. Many of the things that I’ve learned from Sherpa cannot be found in prep books or online, and the techniques work. Better yet, Nafeez has an extraordinary ability to explain concepts in a way that is easy to understand. You also get a lot of support along the way and even after the course ends. It is very clear that Sherpa is devoted to helping you succeed, which is not something that can be said about traditional prep courses and materials.

Most of you here are probably comparing various test preps in the market, my short answer is, SHERPA prep is the best in the market. I know it has lower price tag compared to others (which I doubted in the beginning but don’t let the cost fool you), the quality of the material and instructor, you will not find it anywhere (I have done Manhattan Prep). Nafeez genuinely cares about you and your GMAT journey and course materials and resources are top quality. I recommended the class to one of my coworkers while I was taking the course and he loves it. I thought I could ace the Quant since I was good at math but GMAT math was different. Trust me, the math strategies I learned from Nafeez will not only make you wizard on the test but also help you on other aspects of your life. Another thing, I am not a big fan of verbal but after Nafeez taught us about active reading and Critical reasoning, I started getting better at verbal and I have been able to apply that to my leisure reading and even at work. I am so happy I found them.

Aside from being one of the most affordable options for GMAT test prep, Sherpa gives you the most value for your dollar. Not only did Nafeez teach math in a way that I've never experienced, but he also taught us how to think about and how to take the exam. There are tips and tricks that we learned that have little to do with remembering algebra but make the GMAT seem less scary. There's no way that people who are self-studying for the GMAT could ever get as far as Sherpa students do after just the first class! Sherpa also cares about their students holistically. Free office hours and one-on-one check-ins are only just a portion of what they do. My one-on-one sessions were more like therapy than me talking about GMAT stuff. Sherpa continues to exceed my expectations. My only regret is that I didn't find out about them sooner!

There is no way I would have succeeded without the team. I almost went with a different company but then quarantine hit. I learned that Sherpa offered free office hours in addition to class time and knew I needed some special attention without spending thousands. I had already been studying on my own for about three months. I had been able to bring my score from a 510 to a 610 but hit a plateau. With Sherpa, the Erin's classes reframed how I approached the test. I heard peers in MBALaunch say they felt they knew the material but not how to approach the test: Sherpa taught me both. My score didn't go up much until after classes when I entered Phase 2 - Nafeez led a free coaching session and I joined a few of his special (and affordable) advanced seminars. I followed their suggestions and submitted a weekly update with personalized messages based on my work so far. I also attended Erin's group office hours, which was beyond beneficial. It took me ages to finally feel confident taking the test but I got a 700. Nafeez had prepared me to consider the first one "practice" so I took it one more 5 weeks later and got a 720. No way I could have gotten that score without their support, accountability system, or affordable sessions. My MBA options are completely different than I thought they would be and every teacher I interacted with was great.

Enrolling in the Sherpa Prep GMAT course was the best choice I made for grad school prep. The 12-week program is well worth it as it packs in 40+ hours of class time and unlimited office hours and course retakes. The value of the course also goes beyond just study content, as Nafeez and the team provide strategy in overcoming mental blocks and properly managing your test time. I had taken the GMAT previously before enrolling at Sherpa Prep and couldn't seem to break into the score range I wanted. Nafeez and the team at Sherpa Prep were instrumental in equipping me with the tools to succeed and be admitted into a top 20 program!
