ieGAT: Pass (The ieGAT is a PASS/FAIL exam)
School: Instituto de Empresa   IE

What I took away from the first meeting, was not only was Mike willing to spend an hour and a half on the phone with me trying to understand who I was, what my background was, what it is that I wanted, which was absolutely night and day with the other firms that I spoke to. There was this idea that it was going to be tailored to me and the skills that I wanted to get out of the prep.

EA Score: 157
School: Columbia University

The instructors at Apex were an invaluable resource to me, they completely understood the process, they made me very comfortable. The ease of working with Apex was what I enjoyed the most. I was amazed by how much I was able to take in in such a short space of time. Understanding the success that Apex has had made me feel confident that they were a good choice.

Lohe

GMAT Score: 680
School: Columbia University

When I started working with Apex we mostly focused on improving my stress and anxiety. So we worked on different kinds of breathing exercises and on different problem solving techniques that were not the usually math solutions. Once I was able to get comfortable with these techniques my speed and score increased a lot. It was a good mix of stress management and thinking out of the box.

Olga M. - EA | EMBA – Oxford

I’d like to thank Mike and Chris at ApexGMAT who helped me with my preparation for the EA exam.

When I began preparing, I was applying to an EMBA at Oxford, was very busy with my job – a full-time position – and had no previous experience with either the EA or the GMAT. To get admitted to this extremely competitive programme I needed a high EA score, and on the first attempt since time was really precious to me. I knew I needed the most efficient preparation.
I started self-prepping using all available resources including one online course. I was preparing the same way I had always prepared for the numerous exams I’ve taken throughout my life to become a physician – which I’ve successfully passed on the first attempt. I very quickly realized that the EA is very different from all my previous exams and my established methods of preparation are not working for me this time.


After reading about Apex’s individualized approach to each student, I made an appointment with Mike and talked to him for the first time. Apex’s method sounded very appealing to me, and that is exactly how it was since our first conversation – tailored to my personality, my way of learning, and my goals. Chris and Mike, my instructors, were absolutely amazing at putting me at ease – considering the fact that I turned to ApexGMAT completely stressed out about taking the EA, even close to panicking.


I was immensely impressed by their professionalism as teachers. The whole process of studying became very enjoyable and soon everything started to make sense. Chris is an absolute storehouse of knowledge, full of endless clever and very efficient tricks for studying. I ended up feeling fully confident and well prepared when going into an exam in which psychology plays an enormous role. This is something I realized only after starting my preparation with ApexGMAT.


I am living my dream now, pursuing an EMBA at Oxford, and I am truly grateful to Mike and Chris for their help in my preparation for the EA exam. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without them.

Alexander S. | Cambridge University

I hope this message finds you well. We want to thank you for tutoring and being part of Alex’s journey. This world needs more inspirational teachers like you who care and try. Thank you so much. 

Amir N. - GMAT/EA

Early in 2021, I started self-prepping, with a subscription to a GMAT website but this method of preparing did not go as planned because I still had a lot of unanswered questions. I reached out to Mike and I could tell that he understood where I was coming from and what my main challenges going into the exam were. At the beginning of my journey, my plans were to prepare for taking the GMAT, but after some advice from Apex’s professionals, I was guided to take the EA instead, which was the most convenient decision ever made. While working with Apex I managed to get my confidence boosted, my brain stamina strengthened, my time management skills improved, and my speed of decision making accelerated.

Assad S. - GMAT

“It’s like an epiphany. All of a sudden a lot of things have become very clear. I wasn’t able to describe this situation before, but now the entire framework makes it crystal clear. I can see myself really doing things in a better way just because now I know how to structure these concepts.” [after a first session on Data Sufficiency]

Irfan L. – GMAT: 740

Before using APEX I felt that I was struggling with certain sections of the GMAT and knew that with some tutoring I could end up getting a better score. I was averaging between 670 and 710 on practice scores and was getting frustrated at my lack of progress.
After only a few hours with Apex, so many things clicked into place and I felt so much more confident about the test. I ended up scoring 740 on the real test and the bump higher was entirely thanks to Apex. I would highly recommend their service.

Natalia B. | MBA - Chicago Booth

I’m thrilled to share the news that I got into Booth ! Thank you for all your help and support, the tutoring really made the difference to get a competitive GMAT score.

Aiden T. – EA: 156

I took the Executive Assessment and just got my results back and I scored 156 total! I just wanted to let you know and to extend my thanks for all of your help, doubtless it helped me significantly in achieving this score! I’m really happy with it!
I feel like I can draw a line in the sand now and move on !

Yakov P. - GMAT | MM - LBS

This past week I got an offer to join the Masters in Management program at the London Business School! I wanted to thank you for all the help you provided me, not only with the GMAT but also with the guidance and support throughout the application process. I really can’t imagine that this would have been possible without it.

Elizabeth M. - GMAT: 700

I tested today and scored a 700! (from a 620 when I first contacted you). I wanted to say thank you so much for your ongoing support — I appreciate your help through this process and can truly say Apex’s tutoring gave me a massive boost in both skills and confidence. The techniques you taught me were invaluable in my self prep and directly contributed to the increase in my score.

Kiran F. - GMAT | MBA - Oxford

I was accepted yesterday to the Oxford Said Business School for the 2021/22 MBA programme! Delighted and relieved in equal measure. Thank you for coaching me along throughout this process and for the brilliant sessions. I am very grateful.

N.A. - EA

I absolutely loved my experience with Apex and would highly recommend their services to anyone preparing for a standardized test. The curriculum and schedule was completely tailored to me and around my learning style and personality, which I very much appreciated. The instructors were thorough, organized, and above all kind and supportive. The lessons were rigorous yet relaxed, and the instructors offered constant support and guidance whenever I needed it during self-prep. They understood my academic and professional background and integrated my experience and learning style into my curriculum.


My mathematical foundation was quite limited, so I needed personalized coaching to be able to tackle the exam. It had been many years since I sat for a standardized exam, and knew I would benefit from one to one coaching on best strategies, a tailored studying curriculum and schedule, and support on pre-test nerves. The instructors were so knowledgeable, and well versed in different teaching styles. They would explain and reframe a concept in different ways to ensure I fully understood it. They were supportive and available on email and phone to go over self-prep, testing questions, and scheduling.

How do I know if Apex is the right test prep company for me?

Choosing the right test prep company is an important decision, and we understand that it can be overwhelming. At Apex, we offer a personalized approach to test preparation that is tailored to the unique needs of each student. We believe that our expert instructors, comprehensive curriculum, and innovative teaching methods set us apart from other test prep companies.

During the consultation, you will have the opportunity to discuss your goals and concerns and learn more about our teaching approach and methodology.

On average, how long do your students take when preparing for the GMAT?

At Apex, we believe that every student is unique and has different needs when it comes to test preparation. As a result, the length of time it takes to prepare for the GMAT varies from student to student.

Our team works closely with each student to develop a customized test preparation plan that is tailored to their individual needs and goals, which can impact the length of time it takes to prepare. On average, our students typically spend between 2-6 months preparing for their exam, but this can vary based on the student’s starting point and the target score they are trying to achieve.

Do you offer any services or resources to connect alumni with each other?

Yes, we offer a variety of resources and services to connect our alumni with each other. We believe that building a strong network of like-minded individuals is an important part of achieving long-term success, and we want to support our students even after they have completed their test preparation journey. Some of the resources we offer include LinkedIn discussion groups and opportunities to connect with our instructors and other experts in the field.
