First time I had to face GMAT was in December 2016. Because of the illness I was left with only 2 weeks for practicing before the exam day. I was always good at Math, but the Verbal part seemed too challenging for me to handle. Nevertheless, I pushed myself to the limit during those 2 weeks and at the day of the exam saw a moderate score on the screen – 640 (Q49, V27). I applied to some MBA programs, but the ones I chose were too good to grant a place to a guy with such a score.
After this failure, I realized that if I want to score 700+, I need to improve my Verbal skills. I surfed the Internet and found out that a bunch of test-takers recommended that e-GMAT program be taken in order to hone one’s abilities to solve verbal questions, especially SC problems. So I enrolled.
I took the Verbal Live Prep course. I was provided with a list of materials that I needed to learn each day and instructed when and how to participate in online classes, which, by the way, are free of charge.
Firstly, I started the SC course, which helped me to brush up my knowledge of English grammar as well as to learn new things that are crucial for mastering SC questions. Most of all I liked the way in which the course is organized: first the concept of each theme is thoroughly explained with the use of video materials, than subject related tests are provided. Also, respective OG questions and answers are provided. The way in which e-GMAT team provides knowledge helped me increase the accuracy of solving SC questions up to 84 % from 50 % in about 3 weeks.
After finishing the SC course I started to practice the Critical Reasoning (CR). I easily handled this course with the help of both e-GMAT video lessons and Manhattan Prep’s study book. The only thing that I can say is that both materials helped me a lot by providing slightly different techniques of problem solving. I just want to mention that e-GMAT also has Q&A, which was very useful in many cases. When I finished the CR course the number of wrong answers decreased to about 13-15 %.
My last section was Reading Comprehension (RC). The best thing I liked in it is that e-GMAT team really tried its best to make RC questions the easiest ones to solve. Before the course I did not like RC part, as I thought of it as the toughest one. However, with the help of e-GMAT lessons now I know how to answer different types of RC questions without wasting time. Moreover, the course provides tips that help to stay interested and focused whether or not a test taker likes the topic.
A week ago I took my first mock test in GMAT PREP app and guess my happiness when I saw the result of all this learning – a 720 score. My Quant score was 50, and the Verbal one was 38 ! I plan to take another exam at the end of August and this time I aim at 740. Thanks to e-GMAT, the score that once seemed unreachable is closer than ever before !

UPDATE
3 weeks after I wrote this review I took my GMAT exam. My score was exactly 740 (Q50, V40) !

I started my GMAT journey 4 months ago , and I was on the lookout for a comprehensive verbal course that could give me a good foundation on the basics.
After using the e-GMAT verbal live prep over the course of a few months, I can say with full confidence that this made a difference to my preparation. Like most other non-native speakers, I evaluate words and sentences based on how it sounds in my mind. This required me to unlearn certain basics, and that is not an easy task. It takes multiple visits to the concepts in order to have it etched in my mind and come naturally to me under a pressure situation like the GMAT.

The well-focused Sentence Correction does exactly that. It goes over the basics over and over until you get it correctly each time. The live classes are very helpful, and by breaking down each part of the sentence, the confidence to solve a SC problem skyrockets.

Overall, I used the e-gmat for SC(indispensible), for CR(good), Scholaranium(indispensible) In addition the OG solutions for SC and CR are very clear in their reasoning, and saved me a ton of time that I would have spent otherwise hunting for answers from so many other sources and comments online.

I am still in the process of preparing for GMAT. I can say this with a lot of confidence that eGMAT's Verbal course is definitely one of the most exhaustive course available currently. All the required concepts are explained in a simple way. The best thing about the course is that the teaching method is very scientific. Watching videos are fun. Step-by-step process mentioned in the course will definitely help not only in building strong concepts but also in getting a higher score in Verbal.

There is absolutely no comparison to Scholaranium. It makes assessing your weakness crystal clear. I will highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve Verbal performance.
Will definitely share my performance once I am done with my GMAT.

I had started with V20 and I was extremely weak in verbal. I am a person who hasnt read a single novel in my life. I had tried several online courses and I had spent a huge amount in my test prep. Once I got introduced to egmat via a free webinar, I started looking at verbal from a different angle.

SC which was a burden, now seemed so interesting and easy.
The CR approach too was helpful as well. The prethinking method saved lots of time. I also gained the confidence to tackle the much dreaded boldfaced questions.

For tackling the RC, I found the egmat approach to be very useful. I liked the Master Comprehension course which helped me to read the passages quickly. I was able to improve my speed and accuracy and now I am capable of solving a long passage in 7 minutes and a short one in 4-5 minutes only. This was a huge improvement for me.

Thank you e-GMAT once again for this huge improvement in my test score. Overall, I have managed to improve my verbal score a V20 to V39.

All the best to you all !! Do not give up!!

Egmat Quant Live Prep course is very comprehensive and detailed. The methodical approach to tackle the questions and the suggestions and tips by experts makes learning interesting & fun. The concept videos help understand the basics well which is vital and help us get a strong foundation. Before joining the course, I was using formulas to arrive at the answers in most easy & medium questions. However, the solid foundation of basic concepts and derivations helped me crack many hard questions with ease and also get more confident in solving data sufficiency questions. There are quizzes which test our application of the concepts studied in each topic which help us hone our skills. The approach for solving Word Problems especially mixtures and tree structure problems helped me a lot and drastically reduced my time taken for such questions, I could answer even the hardest questions in very less time with much confidence. Advanced topics such as probability, permutations & combinations were very tough for me, but after going through concept videos for these topics I could gain much confidence in those problems. In Live sessions expert instructors discuss some Hard & Tricky questions and the approach to solve those with ease. Scholaranium is very helpful in assessing our ability in each section and helps us identify, focus & improve our performance in the areas we are weak.

I could see 3-point improvement (Q42 to Q45) in my mocks only with preparation of few topics (From advanced topics and word problems) from egmat course. Hoping to see more improvement & a better score in my actual GMAT.

Overall, Quant Live Prep is a complete package for GMAT Quant and absolute value for money!!

Hello guys,
I just wanted to let everyone knows of my experience preparing for the Gmat with E-gmat since I've been around for so long working on the Gmat. I originally started preparing for the Gmat with Princeton, then with Kaplan, then with Manhattan gmat and finally with e-gmat. I truly mean it when I say finally with E-gmat. So, as I said, I've been around.
Studying with the Manhattan gmat books was a good start. I was able to touch on the concepts I have not done in a while and got some basics out of the way. I was excited, but then I didn't feel I knew how to address each and every question and relate that information back to the books. With E-gmat, the concepts are organized by sections: Number Property, Algebra, Geo, Words Problems, and Advanced Problems. Each section has application practices and quizzes. So, I can related the topic tested on a question. I am able to relate to the concept and the PROCESS that I should use answering the questions.
I am not good at math, though I like. I guess is better when you like something because then you can become good at it. But, if you don't have a way to see things, it can be frustrating at time to say the least. So, it does says a lot when a teacher knows what he is doing and can teach you the concept, but it speaks higher when the teacher is not only knowledge but also CARES that you do well and accomplish your goal. I found that with the teachers at E-gmat.

I took Manhattan GMAT and did not feel at all prepared to take the GMAT. However, E-GMAT helped me to understand my weak areas, including which areas I needed help in and also helped me to understand which grammar rules I didn't fully understand. Often, it was too easy to know the grammar rules but not to apply them. E-GMAT helped me to understand how to apply the grammar rules by quizzing each grammar rule. Until then, I thought I had fully understood the rules. I was wrong. I didn't realize that I needed to take E-GMAT because I am a native speaker. I am forever grateful.

Effective preparation course for any student.By making an effective study plan this definitely is a great guide for any GMAT test taker. Although my final score took a bombdrop I am not in a position to conclude that the course is ineffective at all for I feel I just did not use the effectiveness of the material as my exams approached but it help me in realizing where I stand with my Verbal & Math . The reason for myself asking for an extension is I am pretty sure the course will help me further to analyze the indepths of the exam and make me score much higher and reach my target score for which from my end I will have to be preparing effectively too on a regular basis .

I will definitely recommend the EGMAT course to any GMAT exam taker

The Quant Live prep course offered by e-GMAT is phenomenal. I was struggling to get beyond Q35 when I started preparing for the GMAT with MGMAT books. This, by no means is a reflection on the quality of the MGMAT books. They are good and detailed. But for me, an interactive prep course was more suitable for my learning style. So after seeing a lots of positive reviews about e-GMAT‘s verbal live prep course on the GMAT club, I decided to sign up for their complete GMAT live prep course (includes both Verbal and Quant).
So they breakdown the quant section into 5 topics (N.P., Algebra, Geometry, Word Problems, and Advances quant) and further in sub topics. Every sub topic starts with a diagnostic test and then you complete a concept video which will develop your basics. Then you take an application quiz and answer OG questions related to the sub topics. After that you get to attend their live online sessions, which are structured very well. In live online sessions, the instructors will walk you through on how to apply the concepts you have learnt to 700 level questions. The live sessions are very detailed and you will learn to answer 700 level questions. In short, the e-GMAT course starts with basic level concepts and then builds up from there to help you to answer 700 level questions. Their method can at times be time consuming and give you a sense of feeling that you will fall behind time, but time is one thing that will improve practice.

I struggled with Number Properties and had a very hard time answering 600 levels questions, especially data sufficiency questions. But with e-GMAT prep, I was able to strengthen my core concepts, which eventually helped to get to Q44.
I would highly recommend e-GMAT course to anyone, no matter what stage you are in your GMAT prep. They allow you to review some of their concept files for free and also let you attend couple of live sessions (I believe Number Properties 1 and Algebra) for free as well. You won’t regret it!

Krishna was a fabulous professor, who was extremely patient to understand and explain all of your doubts during the course.

Hi !
I have taken my GMAT exam 2nd time with increase of 10 points in quant score. The credit for this increase in quant score is only to eGMAT quant course. This course is boom for candidates because in this course you able to start by clearing your fundamentals then build up by learning advanced level quant usage through modules wise approach.
This quant course is different from others because it goes in details to explain logic behind the usage of concept & method rather than simply lecturing formulae usage that most of the courses do. The choice of Qs in this course both for explanation & practice purpose is excellent and sufficient to improve your skills level.
Further, the faculty of live prep course is the best in GMAT world because they go upto the last detail to remove any of the doubt one to one with candidate during session so actually you feel like sitting physically in class by interacting one to one with teacher.
I got benefited with Quant course as after practicing with quant Qs and then going through explanation every formula and method was learnt by heart.
I strongly recommend eGMAT course especially quant to all candidates preparing for GMAT exam.

Thanks to Egmat for superb support
