Don't buy Benchmark GMAT prep - They take advantage of us!

by Night reader » Wed Jan 19, 2011 11:47 am
I purchased Benchmark GMAT prep product today earlier, and ran into great difficulties with their CATs and problem sets. The first CAT which promised me assigning my baseline score for the future target score-refund policy item was so crappy that I could not see the statement for one of Data Sufficiency questions and two problems duplicated themselves, I got to the question 16 Quant in my first CAT and the program took me back to the question 1! Can you imagine - they took me back with the running time/clock! I blindly guessed all questions in CAT1 as I could not get access to the 2nd CAT otherwise. In the 2nd CAT I could not see the answer choices on the simple problems in A-E choices; I suspect I had to choose less or within interval answers there :( weird question set never seen that, or may be something was misprinted there ...

Anyway, I was taken advantage by this crappy provider and now in the process of claiming my money back through the DoD. You would ask why DoD, simply these people have no refund other than target score policy item. But I can not use this product, as it apparently stands to be corrupt. So I should keep these guys in trouble via DoD and IRS for a while - I have to

I used Benchmark Prep and found it to be very helpful.

I remember this post from a while back when you got a 420, and I just want to say, don't get frustrated. I had a friend who started off with a 400 too and managed to finally get over the 600 mark with a 610. So it's definitely possible to work your way up, no matter how long it takes.

Keep at it and don't quit

Here's my 760 Debrief just in case you need it.

@wharton750: -> change your profile name not to strike shame onto the reputable institution!

I have observed your profile for quite a lot now. Instead of sneaking into the people's profiles you'd better identify yourself first for the BTG community. As I said Benchmark Prep is an internet scam. This name is disguised by the originator of the Benchmark's site - Focus Prep. According to the Privacy Act of the United States all credit card ownership privileges are strictly confidential and can be only modified with the subpoena by relevant courts. These guys charged my credit card and never turned back to me with any user-company agreement or something; I was expecting a bank debit notice at least. These guys are shirks, and I am not afraid of using this word in public as they proved to be acting so around us with many internet statements which went into public.

Yes I scored 420 two years ago! I wonder what you were doing two years ago - trying to collude with the other internet scam makers? I scored this low, because I went to the test cold. When you copy/paste my past message do it in full! Or identify yourself so that our community and myself, as the party concerned, may contact you. I am standing as a professional auditor in my practice field, and regardless of what you say or declare I am a completely trained professional in the area of fraud examination to catch guys like you...

and below I am pasting several links devoted to Focus Prep for our community to identify better what purpose serves your post and what Benchmark Prep will possibly do with our money

I would seek the 2nd post's author (in this thread) to call his/her (cannot identify) likeable prep at +18883807737 (this number has been put by them in 'Contact us' menu option) - they never answer ...

WHAT.ARE.YOU.TALKING.ABOUT? I've preached MGMAT SC and CR Bible along with OG 12 as much as any other product. You got issues and too much time. Let it go and work on the 420 man, it's just not worth it.

I just put here what I replied to you in pm:

'yes they had to give my money back because I questioned of their expending moneys with no receipt vouchers and expense items backed up ... This must be named a tax evasion. I surely show the Focus Prep their future place after IRS gets on such fraudulent action.

and you have to back yourself up - I am being in touch with BTG site moderators about your spam posting here.'

get off the BTG with your spam posting about 760 score and Benchmark GMAT! None gives credit to such blatant debriefs. The "members" like yourself bring no use to this community I am asking Eric to investigate your profile and if possible to log you off from this learning site. You are nobody to judge me or some body else here with any score achieved on GMAT exam. BTG is the learning site and not a domain for people like you advertising badly shaped internet products.

good, are u a college boy? your humor sounds this much. I hope this is the last post in this thread, as I am not going to waste my time on stupidity and ugliness of your statements above. Some day you should grow up and understand that taking some one's time and money may not be a joke...
