This review is for:   GMAT Pill - 6 Pill Combo Course | Location:   Online  |
I had previously used MGMAT Foundations and Course books to self study. I learned a lot that way but lacked confidence, especially on the quant section. GMAT Pill breaks the stuff down to the least common denominator (no pun intended) and basically says "there's really only so many ways they can test this stuff." After about two weeks I felt my level of confidence increase dramatically. I used all the online resources for about a month and my score improved 70 points (650 to 720).

In summary, I would definately recommend GMAT pill, especially to those who have already given MGMAT/Kaplan/Princeton Review a shot.

The verbal online course of E-gmat is an awesome choice for someone who is very busy and yet enthusiastic enough to study for GMAT in his free time.

The SC course is the best according to me !! it works from the very basic which helps even a person who is not familiar with grammer for a long time. The live sessions are also very lively and informative as i can say from my experience of free live sessions !!! Really gem of a course for non-natives verbal improvement :)

The CR course is helpful for improving the overall accuracy. The prethinking process rocks !! I just loved it.

7 Point improvement on verbal

This review is for:   e-GMAT Verbal Live Prep | Location:   Online  |
I wrote my first GMAT on 14th May 2012 and scored 23 points on verbal. The verbal score was so low that it brought the overall score down. I planned to take GMAT again to achieve my dream. I was going through the GMAT club for verbal courses and came across E-GMAT. After going through the free live sessions, I enroll for E-GMAT's verbal live prep.

The course was a game changer. I understood the importance of meaning through online courses by Shradha.
I able to link various grammatical nuances easily after completing SC section.

The CR course is a master class. Rajat is one of the best instructor. The concepts files, application files and methodology taught by Rajat is awesome. I recommend all the GMAT aspirant out there to attain CR online courses by Rajat. The online course is comparable with RON from MGMAT.

Finally, After re-writing the exam I improved my Verbal score from 23 to 30. I still have a long way to go achieve my dream. but at least I have right tools and instructors (from E-Gmat) to make inroads to the destiny.

This review is for:   MGMAT Live Online | Location:   Online  | Taught by:  Emily Sledge
I had never taken the GMAT before I took the Live Online course from Manhattan GMAT but my score from my practice test went to my actual GMAT went up 130 points.

The course provides great structure each week with a ton of problems/strategy guides to work through. There is a lot of homework each week but I don't really see how you could do well on the GMAT without doing a lot of problems and taking the time to really learn the math concepts. You will never run out of material from Manhattan to do, there are tons of problems provided and CAT practice tests. The problems provided all seem pretty similar to the actual questions on the test. The strategy guides are great at explaining concepts, especially sentence correction and quant.

One of the best things about the course is OG Archer which lets you track every OG problem you do. This makes it so easy to verify strengths and weaknesses so you can use your study time better. The CAT exams also have great stats on how you did and you can aggregate your data for multiple exams to get a good understanding of where you stand.

The classes themselves were basically just going through the material you did for homework and providing a few extra tips and strategy clarifications. I felt it mostly just keep me honest about getting all the homework done and served as reassurance each week that I was on the right track. The instructors were great and I assume all Manhattan's instructors probably are. They were always available outside of class to answer any extra questions.

Would definitely recommend this course. Great structure for your GMAT studying and provides all the materials/books you could possibly need.

Online SC Course improved my accuracy to 85%+

I took gmat for the first time and scored a dissapointing 19 in verbal. It was pretty clear that there is something seriously wrong in preparations . So i decided to take some online course. I came across many courses but finally The Non-Native course e-Gmat attracted me. I repent that why i only took e-Gmat SC course, which improved 8 points in my verbal score, and didnt take full course. So as a result i got 27 in my second attempt. Now i am preparing for 3rd attempt and without any doubt i am taking e-Gmat full verbal online course.

I loved the way the concepts of sentence correction got imparted in me.

This review is for:   Veritas Prep Full Course Live Online | Location:   Online  | Taught by:  David Newland
As a mature student applying for the GMAT for the first time, I found this course very good. The Veritas prep program has undergone major course changes in light of the new GMAT exam.

The instructor David was excellent. the course books had some mistakes but David was good enough to point them out. I found that he took the time to explain each section properly and in easy to understand language.

I very much enjoyed this course and would recommend it to any one with a very hectic schedule.Also for people who have been out of school for a long time.

This review is for:   GMAT Pill SC | Location:   Online  |
this is a very good course. i like the way zeke has all the concept under one roof and uses simple method to make us understand. i am sure you would love his method and would use it to help in your prep for the gmat. sc is an important section and many struggle but after this you will find it better to understand concepts and exceptions (although you need to work for them on your own) this is with every course and this one is not exception. if you need exceptional score work hard and beat the odds. goodluck folks

This review is for:   Knewton Complete Prep | Location:   Online  |
Good course, covers most verbal well but to get to good 700++, this won't suffice. however, this is the case will all courses. so all in all, good one. i wanted to gain firm grasp on verbal and this was a good cusion for same. i learned and applied same principals to learn advanced concepts. Math is fine . i did not care much about it because math is fine for me from starting. you need to see what you need. in fact, you may count on this course for almost all your prep. but remember if you need very good score then you need to add much effort for same.

This review is for:   Veritas Prep Full Course Live Online | Location:   Online  | Taught by:  David Newland
Due to geography and job commitments, taking an on location course was out of the question for me. Still, I needed some serious help to get myself prepared for the GMAT. I have been out of school for long enough to suffer total atrophy on my quantitative skills. I needed a program to at least establish a foundation to continue to build on.

With the Veritas Prep online format I was able to enjoy a classroom type structure with an engaged and personable instructor, all while managing my tight schedule. The program gave me the building blocks for future success,

I have just completed the course and I can safely say that I have the skills and direction to continue my studying in a constructive way.

I'm on a six month study plan, and I love that I have year long access to the Veritas Program.

E-gmat- a game changer for verbal

This review is for:   e-GMAT Verbal Live Prep | Location:   Online  | Taught by:  Payal Tandon
A truly Game Changer course in verbal for non-natives. After exhausting all available resources, I finally subscribed to this course. I saw a few reviews in GC forums and attended two free live class with Rajat on GMAT strategy & Pre-thinking. I was totally satisfied with the content & I knew I will definitely learn some new strategy to tackle my poor verbal score V23.

After taking the course I pulled up my verbal score to a respectable V40 (90%ile). I just turned my weakness into my strength now. My total score is 710 (Q49,V40)

As I progressed with the course I realized my shortfalls in concept as well as in attacking strategy. The Verbal live course is quite different from the verbal online course. I have clarified almost all queries on the spot during the class (that kind of luxury was there). The important thing that helped me most to improve on verbal is to understand the underlying thought process of the instructors while they approach/attach a particular question. For SC course Payal did a wonderful job there. In fact I asked her in one classroom to describe her thought process elaborately - how she approach a particular SC. And that key thing has changed my SC accuracy a lot.

Similarly Rajat's Strategy of pre-thinking is the key for CR. And not but the least- my weakest link RC in verbal has improved a lot after the course. My accuracy just went above 85% from 60-65% level. I always struggled with non-familiar topics in RC. At last Ron (one of e-gmat instructor) has rescued me from this big shortfall. After i completed the course I realized my improvements through Mocks & i was able to improve my timing on SC/CR/RC without sacrificing accuracy.

I am very happy with my decision to invest in e-gmat verbal live and doing so really rewarded me a 90%ile V score.

The concept files cover every single grammatical rules within the scope of GMAT. The practice questions, quizzes, assessment tests are very carefully crafted keeping the standards of Official GMAT questions.

A ton of thanks to e-gmat & group.
