I have started my preparation for GMAT in 2013 and have tried many different resources through out this time. As a non-native English speaker I struggled to grasp the grammar concepts and thus had a difficult time studying for Verbal. E-GMAT Verbal live prep helped me understand the grammar concepts that are vital not only for SC but also for RC and CR. Moreover, the strategies that are outlined for tackling different types of questions are a must know as they help to save time and have a plan for each type of question. Course is very interactive and has quizzes at the end of each topic that helps to cement the information covered during the audio lessons. This course is a must have for those who want to learn step-by-step process for solving the questions.

I have started my preparation for GMAT in 2013 and from the first Mock test realized that being good at math is not the only key factor to do well on GMAT Quant. E-GMAT Quant live prep helped me to see the math problems differently and improved my quant accuracy significantly. E-gmat quant live prep thought me short cuts for solving the difficult questions. Running out of time had always put a lot of pressure on me, now when I do mock test I have few minutes in reserve.
All in all I highly recommend E-GMAT quant live prep to everybody, even for them who are confident in their quant ability.

I had thought of writing this review after taking my GMAT but it’s almost 19 days away so here you go –

The best thing about the e-gmat course is that all the material is together at one place so you won’t have to look at 15 books, 20 sites and 25 note books and you can carry it anywhere. That the material is as comprehensive as it can be is a bonus. Icing on the cake, if you have taken the live prep, is the way any concept is explained during the live sessions. The lessons are animated so that you can go through them at any time and even while you’re doing something else. Also, you see the lesson and you hear the audio which minimizes any outside interference or distraction (I use a headphone for maximum use).

The first live session for me was the free RC session. It’s just GOLD. The way instructor explained the point of view of the author and the main point of the passage was marvelous and really hit the bulls eye. So it’s no surprise that I hit a 51 in RC in GMAT Prep 2 exam last week.

CR has 9 different sections with each section having 1-4 lessons (with each lesson having it’s own quiz), followed by a practice quiz and then a session quiz. The live prep has 6 live sessions and covers each type of question. You can take the quizzes multiple times and all the previous session records are there for you to see. Each session covers the question strategy and how to identify the incorrect answers. The solutions are pretty detailed as well. For example, in boldface type questions it has a ready reckoner list which tells a student what are the many options can be, how are they renamed and how to identify the correct answer and how to connect the two boldface lines (if there are more than one). Then it tells you how the test makers confuse you and how to avoid falling into the trap.

The best section of the course is the SC section. It has covered each topic in detail and there are several blogs about most of the topics apart from the animated lessons. The blogs themselves are more than 200 pages if you collate them. SC was my weakest section but now I am more confident in SC than in any other section.

If you have done the session, followed all the instructions, reviewed the correct as well as incorrect answer choices you’d score more than 40 in each of the section for sure.

Quant was never been my strength and it always sends jitters down my spine. Though I spent 70% of the preparation on quant, but quant remains a nightmare. It was very much evident when I hit a score of Q36 on 2013. It took another 2 years for me to come back and start the things all over again. But it was not that easy to get back into the rhythm and I realized that I need to start everything from scratch. But I found the savior from unexpected quarters (i.e., e-gmat whose strong forte is verbal).
E-gmat has very methodical and structured approach towards solving every concept in quant. The approach & design of the concepts & their application in gmat context will effortlessly take your practice to 700+ levels. The live sessions are real gems which help you to explore your competencies and sharpen your abilities to the core. The whole learning process is so joyful and you tends to forgot the time for your preparation. It is no exaggeration to say that there were times I sat for more than 3 hours in learning.
I seriously recommend this course to every individual who needs a real help in quant & I will give 5 stars to the design and to the content. Three cheers to E-gmat team.

My tryst with gmat started way back in 2013 with MGMAT and a other domestic gmat prep course. I had revised the course several times before the exam but to my dismay I hit 510. It was a terrible experience that the money and great amount of time were wasted.

It took another 2 years for me to come back and start the things all over again. But it was not that easy to get back into the rhythm and I realized that I need to start everything from scratch. As I was in a very confused state, I accidentally bumped into a strategy session by Rajat, courtesy - GMAT CLUB. 2 hours of strategy session unearthed the loopholes in my previous preparation. Immediately I have registered for trial version and within no time I realized that e-gmat is the game changer for me in GMAT prep. I opted for both verbal live prep and quant live prep thereafter.

I should say E-gmat’s learning methodology breaks the monotony of passive learning. A structured and methodical approach towards the each and every concept keeps you engaging and intriguing throughout the learning process. Though I lay hands on manhattan and other distinguished GMAT prep courses, the learning on e-gmat platform is more engaging and even the very difficult concepts effortlessly ensconce into your mind.
Be it 3 step process for sc or verb-ing and verb-ed modifiers, or for that matter every single concept in verbal unfolds a great clarity and takes you closer to better accuracy. I salute Rajat & Payal for their untiring efforts in making e-gmat verbal course, the world best course. You made whole lot of boring and bizarre grammatical concepts into a very simple, understandable and lively concepts . It makes the whole process of learning a joyful ride.
I seriously recommend this course to every non-natives & I will give 5 stars to the design and to the content. Three cheers to E-gmat team.

With a plethora of information available on the internet on GMAT, I decided with e-gmat after reading a couple of reviews. The quant material is good for people like me who are scoring around Q 25-30 in mock. Just studying this material will give u nearly 10-15 point improvement in quant taking the score to at least Q40-Q45. To score beyond this, you will need material from gmat club, for topics like overlapping sets , co-ordinate geometry etc. I would highly recommend e-gmat quant material, if you are scoring in the range or 30. In addition to this, the free sessions that are made available by the tutors are excellent and help avoid some pitfalls.

Hi Folks!! I am Zuri, from India, in my first attempt I scored 550 on GMAT 42 in quant & 24 in Verbal, I had used manhattan SC guide, Powerscore CR bible along with OG. These are amazing resources, especially SC guide which has an extensive list of rules that come in handy in identifying the flaw in sentences. I was able to get through with the easy & some medium level questions. However, I couldn't get many hard level questions right & when I saw a sentence which was too long and/or fully underlined, i would be kinda demotivated, which would bring my morale down because I felt SC was the easiest section for me in verbal. I would take more time for CR as well, especially assumption questions & boldface. RC was a nightmare, even in my preps & the actual GMAT I wouldn't have enough time to finish all my verbal questions, so I made it a point that for one of the RC passages I would guess & mark the answers so that i can match the time to answer all the questions.
I decided to try e-gmat Verbal Live Prep because I had seen some reviews about this Verbal course as the best for non-natives. After going through the SC course, I was overwhelmed. The 3-step process is an eye-opener. After understanding the meaning of the sentence & applying the steps in the right away i was able to reduce my "takt time" or turnaround time for every SC question and also I could get most of the even hardest questions right. Its a very comprehensive course covering all the concepts to the depth.
CR course with emphasis on logical structure, prediction, ABC test, negation test, variance test is very strategic & helped me to counter assumptions & most difficult CR passages with ease & save a lot of time too. Finally I could get a hang over RC as well with the systematic reading strategies in the RC course. RC was the most difficult section for me and now I can boldly face it with active reading. The live sessions were very useful with very friendly instructors having great insight & amazing expertise in that particular area. Live session Recordings were also very useful for me as I could go through it whenever required, many times. For every question/query, I could find answers within the exhaustive question banks/blog & also found quick responses from instructors whenever needed. Verbal workshops were accurate predictors of our stand. I have not taken my GMAT again yet, I see a score improvement in my verbal though, in manhattan prep tests i could score 34-36 & in GMAT prep test I could score 32 in a consistent manner, which helped me touch 640 in manhattan & 610 in GMAT prep tests with only verbal score improvement and same quant score. I had also enrolled for two other major GMAT Prep courses as well & attended some free sessions from other courses too and from my experience E-gmat Verbal Live Prep Is the best I can suggest for anybody looking for a breakthrough in GMAT Verbal.

I liked the course a lot. The course material helped me to understand the concepts. The question bank associated with it helped me to apply these same concepts and pretty much internalize the material. I recommend this course to whoever is taking the exam. Also, e-GMAT provided me the prompt help on the questions I had on the material.

Before subscribing to the online course work I had doubts about the effectiveness of the online learning. But, the instructional videos are so detail, and they simplify the concepts by simplifying the complexity. And, each video has quizzes which helped me solidify the understanding. The questions in the question bank are excellent as they test these concepts thoroughly. Each video lesson has a forum where people can ask questions by sharing their understanding. Instructors promptly responded to all my questions.

I recommend the coursework who are planning to take the e-GMAT.

This is the best course to start from the scratch, nice content, ease of use and with lot of practice. I highly recommend this courses. Earlier, i spent too much time learning so many grammar rules.
For RC, I couldn’t comment too much on it, as I believe for this particular section everyone’s reading strategy will be different. A thing to note is that there are a couple videos where we can follow the reading and thinking process of the instructor in answering the questions, and I believe these videos were pretty helpful.

Also-prethinking helps a lot to stay focused all the time

If you are reading this post of mine, I might strongly assume that you are aspiring to take the GMAT exam & indeed hoping to crack it. Before you start reading this , let me tell you, confusion regarding how to start, which course to take is natural, but if you are confused whether to take the e-GMAT Verbal course, don't be any more --you are at the right place. I had been in your shoes 6 months back when I joined e-GMAT. After a lot of struggle, finally I had made up my mind to take the GMAT exam within 2 months. My target was a score of 760 so that I can apply & get selected in Stanford last round this year itself (after all, what's wrong in dreaming) After doing a lot of research, taking suggestions from friends & colleagues & going through the reviews at GMAT club & across the Internet, I managed to confuse myself to the best of my abilities regarding which course to register for - e-GMAT or GMAT-pill. I got few negative feedback as well which only succeeded in adding to my confusion. After pondering for 2 days, I decided to attend my first e-GMAT free live session. The session was on CR Pre-thinking & absolutely clean bowled was I! Approx. 150 plus students had joined the session & I was amused by the way each & every questions were handled by the e-GMAT teachers. I believe that it was a life-changer for me as it made me take one of the most important decisions of my life --buying the e-GMAT Verbal Live Prep course (the dream began to take shape!).
The very first thing I would like to mention regarding the Verbal Live Prep (there's also another Verbal course called Verbal Online) is that the content is huge -- and as they rightly claim - You don't need any other resource. Honestly, if you complete the course, study materials & attend the live classes & religiously follow all the instructions regarding studying & application & attending OG questions, you really DO NOT need any other resource. Atleast, I didn't.
The CR classes are mind-blowing, all the teachers are amazingly student-friendly, especially Shradhha is awesome. When Shraddha taught, she never looked at the watch and would continue to explain until all portions were crystal clear. She exceeded the time limit of 2 hours each time and each of her classes were outstanding. This If you are starting afresh for the GMAT journey, these live sessions really get you on track. The SC course is amazing as well; however my score has been a bit less in this section since I was unable to imbibe the process of breaking a sentence into its clauses & following the subject-verb agreement, meaning analysis rules in those chunks. It was taking me a lot of time to internalize the process & as I was in a hurry to take the GMAT exam to be able to apply by March, I decided to skip that method. I believe my score of 38 in Verbal is due to this issue.
The RC course is also quite good & together with the live classes & proper step-by-step guidance to solve the OG questions(video solutions to OG questions), the Verbal Live prep is sensational. I took the Official GMATPrep tests and scored 720 in each of them. Finally, I took my GMAT in March 2016 after studying for around 2 months & scored 720. I researched a lot regarding application to top B-schools with this score & also discussed with a Consultant, who has suggested me to improve my score to a 760 in order to dream BIG. When I informed e-GMAT regarding this & said that I am planning to take the GMAT exam again soon & requested them to extend my course, Rajat has promised me to extend the course for 3 months free of cost. In today's age of cut-throat commercialization, I was pleasantly surprised to see such friendly & non-commercial approach, where the extension was not charged for.
I strongly recommend this e-GMAT Verbal Live Prep course to anybody who wants to conquer the GMAT. Last but not the least, one thing I would like to mention regarding the 4 point score improvement guarantee of e-GMAT. Since I started preparation, I had been scoring approx. 32 to 34 in all the mock tests & practice quiz. However, once I completed the e-GMAT course, my Verbal score has improved to 38 in the actual GMAT exam. In fact, I had scored 38 and 40 in verbal in GMATPrep1 and GMATPrep2 respectively. I strongly believe that next time when I will be taking the GMAT again, if I can follow the e-GMAT techniques religiously, I will definitely be able to score 42+ in Verbal which will definitely help a lot in transforming my dream of getting into an elite business school into reality. I will definitely come back with another post after the re-take to inform if I did succeed and that day, my review will be a lengthier one, that's for sure! Stay tuned & all the very best!:-)
