Course e-GMAT 2M Focus

I tried the e-GMAT course after having (or at least tried to) go through books.

e-GMAT courses - As a working professional, I found that the online resources are much better. I never thought I would say this, even after sitting in front of a computer for the better part of the day however they are much more tolerable on weekdays and one can easily spend 90 minutes on them. The egmat courses are really nice. Their SC meaning based approach does a much better job of tackling SC than MGMAT does. You retain much more as well. Prethinking and Bold Face in CR is very good too. For RC, this is the first real course that taught something. Overall, the live sessions compliment the leanings in the course very well.


In addition, I also looked at economist GMAT and Grockit. The both have a number of practice questions. Although the explanations in Economist GMAT were better, Grockit was free for me and complemented the e-GMAT course well.

One of the downside of online resources is that they don't work well on Tablets. Hence, you cant take them outside.

The best thing that I liked about this course is focus on fundamentals. It did not teach me tricks. After going through the course, I was able to solve most official questions easily. Moreover, I was confident of my answers in GMAT Prep question pack 1 - something which I was not after going through the MGMAT books.

Hi Everybody,

I had signed up for the egmat course after giving my GMAT for the 1st time. The course was indeed good. Firstly,it is economical and secondly audio visual learning is an effective method of learning the concepts. I would say that there was not many new things I learnt, but the clarity of concepts learnt improved greatly. The efficacy in spotting errors improved. When I say this, let me tell you the best course which fits in here is Sentence Correction. They have loads of questions to apply and reinforce the concept in your mind.

As regards Critical reasoning,they use the pre thinking approach. Truly speaking, I dont follow this approach and have my own way of solving CR problems. They dont have a separate UGE for RC which is leaves you with less questions top practice with.

Then finally comes the RC part. Here too E GMAT does a good job of segregating the question types. But again there is no UGE here so less practice questions.

All in all,I would say that you can complement your study material with E GMAT. You will surely not repent. Moreover it is a verbal focussed course unlike other test prep companies which focus more on quant.

When I started my preparation ,I was looking at different courses specifically for Verbal.
I found the e-Gmat course which is one of the good investment I have done for the preparation.
So far, I have used only SC course. Sentence correction course provides a an excellent approach to tackle the SC questions and the Instructor Shraddha is a fantastic.

Online SC course complemented with live sessions is THE BEST course. Breaking the sentences into smaller and logic groups sounds initially hard but it greatly helps in understanding the meaning and accuracy. I hope e-Gmat other courses will also be as good as SC. I am excited to start my RC sessions in coming weeks.

Anyone who is having a bit of trouble in understanding long and complex SC problems then go for e-Gmat course...!

“I used the e-GMAT course and was able to score 730 (Q48, V44). I took e-GMAT’s Verbal Live course and e-gmat was a big contributor to this significant increase in my verbal score. Your SC live sessions helped me a lot. Like most others, I was one of the rebellious ones who had doubts about the approach e-GMAT suggested. I was concerned that the approach will take lot of time but once I got used to the 3 step method, I could complete the answers in less than 2 mines - as you have been saying all along.

I also need to mention about the RC tutorials. The detailed analysis of all the answer choices, including the wrong answer choice patterns was a GREAT help.

I have tired both VERITAS and Manhattan course, the two most expensive and supposedly the best courses available but didn’t the score I expected. Ultimately, help came from the lesser known courses such as yours and Grockit. One thing is for sure, e-gmat's RC course is one of the best we have in the market at the moment. Thanks e-GMAT. Especially Payal. You are truely amazing. It really shows that you want us to do well”

Hello friends, I gave my GMAT in Nov & got a dismal 500 (Q43, V-18) & after that I enrolled in E-GMAT V- online course. On April'4th, my score was 630 (Q-48, V-29). I would mention categorically that this significant jump in Verbal was only due to E-GMAT.

Take for instance- SC--> Verb ing modifier uses..(or) how common errors could be created using "Like".
RC - diff types of Qtns,
CR- how to pre-think for each type of Qtn & more important was how to identify which answer choice is with in the scope & how it impacts the conclusion.

You name it & they have it for each element of Verbal for GMAT. This course is simply amazing.

e-gmat SC course is an excellent resource for any GMAT taker. It really breaks down the SC concepts into nice logical way so that one can really start applying the concepts right away. The best part is the way the course creators have logically grouped the most tested concepts in the course. Also, the examples and the quiz in the course nicely compliment to the concepts provided in the course.

For me personally, the course has increased my confidence level in tackling the SC questions. I have been scoring high in all my GMAT prep tests particularly SC. I highly recommend this course for any non-native speaker.

Course Magoosh Premium

This was definitely a great investment, with the help of Magoosh my score went up by 100 points. The key is that you have to be really motivated and practice every day. The explanations are clear and easy to understand, and the practice sessions are adaptive, so you are really practicing for the GMAT.

Magoosh gives you tips to do math at a faster pace, and the reasoning behind it. Magoosh also gives you pacing tips, which for me was one of the greatest advantages.

The questions on Magoosh are really at a high difficulty, which helps you over prepare for the exam

Yes. Magoosh is indeed a gem of the courses available. I have enrolled in their premium subscription and the explanations are awesome.

The range of questions are qutie broad. The difficulty of Hard and Very Hard questions are beyond the imagination of real questions in GMAT.

I specifically like the sentence correction, DS and Problem solving video explanations.

Kudos to Magoosh and looking forward to shine in GMAT with your awesome guidance.

Dear Friends,

E-Gmat is a game changer in the field of GMAT verbal preparation by its innovative ideas and scientific approaches. I have followed several books and took other online courses for my GMAT exam. But I was not satisfied with my results. E-Gmat approach to solve Sentence correction is truly a rewarding experience.

E-Gmat always stresses on understanding the meaning and the structure of the sentence rather than learning the English grammar by rote. This step by step approach helped me to eliminate the wrong answer choices.

Anyone who is preparing for GMAT should definitely take the free courses available at E-Gmat website. It will help you to understand the E-Gmat approach to solve verbal question.

Above all Rajat and Payal are very much approachable and help you to solve different question. The E-Gmat has a forum to address the doubts of the students. I found this forum activity very useful for my preparation.

Well, I always believed in self study instead of tutor, classes and all. After taking some MGMAT mocks, I realized that verbal score was not improving, and it was always dancing between 29-31. My GMAT was around 2 weeks away, and I thought of taking a GMAT prep test. It was a real bummer and scored 28 on verbal. I knew that I could not change 28 to 38 in 2 weeks time, but did not want to change the exam date either, so talked to Rajat Sadana and explained my situation. Rajat suggested to me to take SC course only. I purchased just that and finished it in 10 days.

The Course was awesome. Concepts were explained like teaching kids at elementary level, so they are hard coded in your memory. Their approach to tackle questions was really strong, if practiced religiously you will overcome timing issues. Their approach digs the question really deep and there is a very little room left for errors.

Not only the SC course, but I also got some free videos on their website for CR and RC course. I worked on their CR bold faced questions approach and figured that my accuracy in OG increased surprisingly using their strategies.

If I would have come to know about their course earlier then I would have turned my 28 verbal to 38+ by doing all 3 sections from their course. Anyways I did good on my test day and was able to score 34 in verbal. I believe e-GMAT course came really handy for this improvement in my score. Not to mention, if you have any doubts or concerns just post it on their website, and you will get reply really fast that is useful for people who get anxious if they have a question while studying.

I believe that if one seriously studies all 3 sections from their course and practices really well using those techniques for all OG and Verbal Review questions, then one can easily improve by 7-8 points in verbal.

I have taken knewton, a instructor-lead verbal course in bangalore and e-gmat. E-gmat teaching methodology is unique and the best.

I have always liked the pictorial method of teaching and e-gmat teaches concepts representing them in a pictorial fashion. The concepts are concise and to the point. They have a great customer support. Compared to other Test Prep company, their course cost is reasonable.

I have researched a lot and finally took e-gmat after getting twice fooled by knewton and the local test prep company. E-gmat is value for money. If you are looking for something in verbal, e-gmat is the final destination.
