When i started preparing for GMAT i was at loss( what to study and how to study)but e-gmat courses really helped .Its a comprehensive course which encompasses everything you ought to know.The course is designed in an efficient and interactive manner which ensures learning. The concepts that are taught in e-gmat course is very effective and helps a lot in tackling the problems.Live classes are especially helpful as they not only help in consolidating the concepts one have built so far but also help in identifying weak spots that needs attention.I would easily recommend this course to anyone who is interested in taking GMAT.

Happy learning!

I am an executive with 15 yr experience in various industries, last December-14, I decided to go for MBA so decide to prep for GMAT. It took me couple of months to get started as I had been out of touch from formal education for so long. I explored several options on this forum(GMATCLUB) but decided to go with e-GMAT. The reason was very simple and logical. I simultaneously explored multiple free webinars from several top of the line courses but got sold on e-GMAT within 2 hours of attending it and ended up buying the "GMAT Live prep" combo of verbal and quant.e-GMAT promised the best ROI.. I must say that till date i havent been disappointed. By profession i am in quantitative analytics field so i was sure that it will be easy path for me..but after diagnostic test from e-GMAT i realized that i need a refresher. Japinder's and krishna's method of explaining is seamless. The discipline which has gone into building the material , videos and lessons is total awesome.. I have become a fan of e-GMAT, and i am sure even after i finish my GMAT i will take a lot of good learning lessons from e-GMAT.

After an unsuccessful attempt on my GMAT last year - I realized I was really weak on the verbal section. On further analysis I found out that while preparing - though I had learnt the techniques but I could never be confident about those answers. And the reason was, there were so many concepts that I failed to understand. I had trouble in the entire Verbal section, be it the SC/CR or the RC section where reading/understanding and answering correctly without spending a lot of time seemed like major tasks. And brushing up my grammar concepts seemed daunting. So, after searching a lot, I found great reviews about E-gmat Live Prep course. The thing that attracted me most about this course was the tag line “for non-natives” and thus, enrolling into the course was the next obvious thing to do.
As soon as I enrolled into the course I knew I was in the right place. I love the way, they have separated each section - which is further, sub-divided into different modules. This not only ensures that you concentrate on one concept at a time but also enables you to mark your progress as you move from one module to the next. There are live classes over the weekend and for a person like me with a crazy work schedule, you can view the recording and post all your questions on their blog. The instructors are great and they are always prompt in clearing your doubts. The modules give you enough base to grow on. The techniques used are easy to understand and thus application becomes easy that enables you to improve. The most important thing I realized while on this course was how important consistency and practicing is – just like exercising, you stop doing it and you are back to square one.
Though I still have time to give my GMAT exam, but I don't think I would change, or use any other course material. A few months back E-gmat started offering their Quant course and I am planning to enroll in that as well. For all those who are looking for a substantial course to work with - E-gmat is your one stop shop!
Good Luck to everyone preparing/appearing for GMAT!

I had taken my first GMAT in April this year and scored a dismal 530(Q-39,V-23).Prior to giving my first EGMAT I had subscribed the course for 2 months but I didn't get the results as expected.I attribute my score to 2 factors.
Firstly, I followed multiple sources for preparing Verbal.This can be the biggest mistake one can make.By following so many courses one will be unable to develop any concrete strategy for attacking the Verbal.This could prove extremely costly and could totally derail the preparation.Guys this where EGMAT has proved my savior.I could vouch that it is the most comprehensive course on GMAT Verbal and if used diligently along with OG it is more than enough to prepare for the Verbal Section.
Secondly, I did not follow the EGMAT process in all the 3 sections to the core during my first attempt.While in easier questions I followed the methods but for the hard ones I skipped and this proved my nemesis.My accuracy never improved inspite of all my valiant efforts.This time I made sure that no matter what happens I will follow the EGMAT process and my accuracy has drastically improved from 60% in SC to 85% and from less than 50% in CR to more than 75% in CR.I owe this to the EGMAT process.
Lastly apart from the above 2 factors I feel the EGMAT VOL course gives the best value in terms of price and the return you get.Compared to other courses which runs in thousands this course is a steal.This is extremely helpful for students like me who has already spent a lot for preparing for GMAT and are running short on budget.

Course Magoosh Premium

Magoosh is good for those who need more practice in math as it has video lessons in detail of almost all concepts required for gmat and has a good level of practice questions. It has a lot of tough questions related to geometry of gmat type. I would not recommend it for verbal grammar as the lessons do not go into great detail and not much explanation. Even though verbal is not done so well, I would still recommend to buy the premium package as there is only a $20 difference.

Pros:
-inexpensive, always on sale
-great details in quant modules, with gmat type questions

Cons:
-verbal questions, especially sentence correction and reading comprehension, are not good
-only two tests which cover quant and verbal section
- total questions including the tests are 800. Tests are not extra

I purchased this course after reading some positive reviews from people who struggled with gmat verbal part. As non- native speaker, I faced the same problem where I couldn’t improve my score even though I tried some over test provider’s material. Once I purchased the package, to be honest I was a bit skeptical as I thought I won’t have enough time to review all the material but I have to admit I was totally wrong! The way e-gmat explains sentence correction was really helpful, emphasizing on the meaning and explaining each topic in detail with post assessments quizzes, which helped to apply what you learn in practice. CR was helpful to identify where I was making mistakes, I found out that assumption questions are the ones which I was constantly getting wrong, e-gmat explained really well how to approach each question type on CR. Reading comprehension was the hardest one for me but in this course e-gmat explains very well how to break the passage and what is important to note once you reading it. RC section helped me to improve my timing and better understanding how to read unfamiliar topics and stay focus (active reading). After I finished the course, I used e-gmat new software –scholaranium, which came with the e-gmat online package. The software provides great analysis of your verbal performance; you can customize your quizzes by topic, difficulty level and etc. After each quiz explanations are very detail, I really like RC how they provide analysis of the passage!

To conclude this review I would like to say that if are non-native speaker and struggle to understand gmat verbal part this course is definitely worth your time and money! If I knew this at the very begging of my gmat journey I would have saved a lot of time!

Not being from the science background, I was finding Quants to be a difficult section for the GMAT. But, once I signed up for the Quants Course, it made it much simpler. Chapters such as Number Properties, Geometry, Algebra which were quite tough for me in the start became quite simpler after learning the concepts. As the GMAT is highly dominated with Engineering students, The course helped me to catch them in the race within no time. Great teaching methods and quizzes has helped me considerably in building my concepts. Kudos to Rajat Sir and his team to come up with such a simplified course. Thank You.

Magoosh Premium helped me get from a 690 to a 740 with only 3 weeks study. I tried to incorporate other software during this time however the different style of questions of often encountered and the poorly calibrated estimate scores caused me unnecessary concern. Magoosh's clear videos and clear interface lets you quickly get back to study each day where you left off. The practice problems are the right difficulty level for what i encountered on the GMATPrep software and then the real exam. The problems each have a written solution that you can quickly peruse or a fully worked video solution to cement any difficult ideas in your mind. Amazing for Quant but just as effective for Verbal, IR and AWA.
I combined the product with a 12 week study plan that Magoosh provided in their resources section and was happily studying when i was asked at work to move to Mongolia in 4 weeks time. Amazingly the Magoosh videos and solutions gave me enough of an edge in a crazy period in my life to get the score i wanted.
Oh, and all this for $99 - how you could possibly go wrong....

e-GMAT QUant LIVE-prep quantitative course help to learn techniques and tricks to remember certain strategies. It helps to increase confidence in test taking abilities. The course was extremely helpful and provided great explanations of the answers.
I would definitely recommend the weekend quantitative course to anyone struggling with the math portion!
Prior to attending this course I had done a few practice exams, but I was having difficulty with several sections of the material. With enrolling the e-GMAT Quant LIVE -Prep course, I felt much more comfortable with taking the GMAT for real. e-GMAT does a good job of showing you which portions are important, and has a comprehensive set of practice equations. I hope to complete learning and practice all the chapters and expecting my test score to be excellent
