I have been out of college 2 years and was worried about starting to study again. I really liked Manhattan GMAT's study schedule. They were also realistic with studying and realizing most people are working. I took the class online and thought there would not be a lot of interaction but the two instructors did a good job with making sure we were answering questions online and through the microphone.
I think the best and most helpful part of signing up with ManhattanGMAT was an instructor looking over my practice scores and telling me what I should work on and giving different examples and suggestions than what was in the class and the online lectures.
I had taken Manhattan online course before I took my first GMAT but my verbal score was not good enough to score even 620+. I tried to improve but nothing changed even after 2 months. My score just improved 2-3points in these 2 months and that again wasn't good enough for taking GMAT one more time and scoring 700 for a decent school.
Then i joined e-gmat, which I shocking believe is actually designed for me. Every lesson was very useful for me and it cleared all my doubts on all major error topics. I started practicing questions along with e-gmat preparations. As a non-native english speaker, i believe e-gmat knows exactly what I need to do to score higher in GMAT test.
My GMAT is due next month, I am on the score of 34-35 that is 7-8 points improvement from my previous score. Hopefully in a month I would be able to score around 39-40 in Verbal after some more practice, and this verbal score would put in the range of 710-740 on GMAT if I would manage to score same or better in quant section (thanks to Gmat club for helping me on quant section with such a great collection of maths questions).
I am really thankful to E-gmat team for such a great help for improving my score to 10 or more points. You guys just hit bang on my weak areas and confusion points.
I re-took GMAT and saw a 10-point improvement in my verbal score - V25 to V35
I must thank the e-gmat team for its elaborate and strategic study materials that have greatly helped me improve my verbal score.
I found the course to be very scientifically constructed because the verbal concepts become very clear.
The strategies taught are very helpful and, if followed diligently, will surely improve verbal scores.
Shraddha , Payal and Rajat are very helpful and approachable. One can always reach out to them for questions, help and tips.
I suggest e-gmat to all students who are struggling with verbal .
This was a great 9-week online course. The ability to join live online or watch the recording if you had to miss a week was great with studying and working at the same time (especially with a consultant's lifestyle!). Joe and Liz were dynamic and approachable, and really know their stuff. They were always willing to stay on after class and explain things in more detail for those who wanted to go over something.
The course was a great introduction to the content, and the strategies provided both during the course, in the books, and in the post-course assessment were extremely valuable. The wealth of resources available, including the OG archer (with the ability to complete and track homework problems) and the dynamic practice exam reports that showed which areas needed work across practice exams were invaluable. The homework review sessions and recorded explanations for problems were very helpful as well.
Overall, definitely worth the money. Ended up with a 750, far surpassing my expectations, and an increase of over 100pts from my first practice exam.
Prepping for the GMAT is similar to getting into shape. Manhattan is like a personal trainer--they teach you what exercises do do and how to execute them properly, but it's up to you to put the work and actually lift the weight. The content instruction and study plan Manhattan provided, couple with and the time I was able to invest some practicing and error-logging review problems, I improved my score by over 150 points.
Some additional thoughts: The instructors were very responsive to questions both inside and outside of class. The one-on-one post-course assessment (which is included with the class) was very valuable in terms of planning my last few weeks of study before I took the exam.
Magoosh course is very helpful as it provides the access thru your laptop or your ipad. I had a question and they replied back in one day. The courses are too the point and the video explanation is good. I have been spending 1-2 hours per day on the course I am seeing a lot of improvement in my English and I am able to understand the verbal problems much better.
Another benefit of Magoosh course is that it is very affordable in comparison and because it is relative new course so they are very very prompt in responding. Thank You
I have been using E-Gmat Verbal Live prep for three months now. It offers clear cut views on various different concepts required to master verbal section of GMAT.
The concepts are clearly detailed and easily understandable especially for non native speakers. My GMAT mock scores had improved since I started attending E-Gmat live prep courses. I had read a couple of Verbal books for GMAT like MGMAT and Veritas, however EGmat live prep offers the best understanding of concepts with no ambiguity. And the instructor is always helpful and clears concepts which may seem odd to the student. I am preparing to take my GMAT exam on July 25 and I am hopeful of making good inroads in verbal section in my first ever GMAT exam.
At the onset, I would like to express my sincere thanks to e-GMAT team for creating a wonderful online course that fulfills needs of industry veterans like myself who are miles away from minute concepts like grammar, critical reasoning. eGMAT online verbal content is so precise & pointed that it took me few days to get on track.
I found their SC & CR sections very easy to understand as compared to another leading online course that I purchased. e-GMAT content is very well written & explained to minute details.
Special to mention is their best in class IR content. The way they explain various sections with multiple scenarios would help fresh graduates. Specially graph analysis, since fresh graduates dont see those compared to experienced people.
Also to mention is their online support on queries. They are very prompt on answering queries on concepts or specific questions.
After taking all online content, my practice exam score improved by 20 points on Kaplan and MGMAT.
My target was to get enrolled into Fellowship in one of Top 10 indian B schools. With e-GMAT's help, I was able to score decently in GMAT (650+) & convert by bid in one of Top 5 B School in India.
Sincere thanks to team at e-GMAT (Payal, Rajat, Archana) for help in my endeavor.
Once I had decided to study for the GMAT, I asked my sister to recommend a prep program. She had 4 words for me: "sign up to ManhattanGMAT". I am glad I listened to her.
I purchased the Live Online course. My lessons were highly interactive, and enabled me focus my efforts on key content within Verbal and Quant categories. I found the Sections very helpful, as instructors solved OG questions using a variety of methods. Answers were explained in a clear and digestible format. I especially love the use of the double set matrix to solve Word Problems!
Thank you, ManhattanGMAT!
I went into the program aiming to get above a 700 and had heard from multiple friends that Manhattan GMAT was probably one of the best options given my goal. I really enjoyed how they sent you all of the materials along with a syllabus of 'homework' to do each week. I was very diligent, doing all of the required work as well as the recommended problems, so by the time the online class came around, there wasn't much for me to really learn. With the exception of a few discussions during class, all of the tips and concepts they were explaining I had already figured out during the week. This is not to say that I did not like the class: the syllabus they gave me and having the class to go to forced me to do a lot of the work to figure it out on my own, and if I did have questions they were extremely helpful either in class or via email. If I hadn't included the online course, I do not think I would have done nearly as well. I received a 750.
