I enrolled for the e-gmat course on Apr 11, 2014 after completing the GMAT in Feb 2014. I was not happy with my score, and decided to sign up. Prior to this, I went with a classroom course of a famous company, have also finished MGMAT SC book and powerscore CR book. I see a clear difference between e-gmat and all other resources available. Personally, I feel that e-gmat is more detailed in teaching both SC ,CR and RC. It teaches you the application, not just the rules The live sessions are great. Payal does a great job answering questions and going through the content. I am glad I found the course. I'm already seeing an improvement in my verbal accuracy. Thanks to e-gmat! My next GMAT exam is a month away.I have gone through the preview of e scholar and found it soo helpfull and will purchase the complete course. I'll continue to spend time going through their content!
I must thank e-gmat team for the Excellent course and support provided. Verbal was weak area because of Sentence Correction. I was practicing OG, kaplan and other courses, but was unable to improve in SC. At this juncue i came across e-gmat and an over-whelming response in GmatClub.com. Without any delay i wrote to e-gmat team and explained my situation in SC. They suggested me try the course for free and attend few webinars and take my decision. Gotta tell you the first SC webinar on SC was simply amazing and my doubts got clarified and purchased the VLP. VLP would be useful for people who are bored of reading and don't grasp he content. The video approach was very good and the pictorial way of teaching is phenomenal. For me, i could easily get what is being told with the help of pictures and audio.
Best about SC : Understand the meaning and meaning is everything to select correct answer choice.
Best about CR: Pre-thinking comes in real handy, but you gotta practice pre-thinking.
I was advised to use e-gmat for my verbal prep by a Columbia Alum. So I took it up straight away after being on a few of Rajat's free sessions. This is when I decided to take e-gmat.
What I totally loved were the examples and the videos. It made a lot of sense and for someone who was always on the move it was worth every penny. Secondly, when I decided to postpone my exam date they were very helpful in deactivating and then reactivating the subscription.
This course truly gives value for money for the non-native speaker. There are so many small nuances in our English that we always fall in the GMAT traps. Verbal is more important for a good score than is quant.
I had written the GMAT twice, each time I saw minor improvement in my verbal score. After reading various sc articles on gmatclub, for my final attempt I finally decided to jump on E-gmat's verbal course. I competed the SC module and in my view Egmat's SC process has by far been the most effective way for tackling SC. Seeing my improvement in SC, I have also subscribed to RC, CR and Quant.
The website is extremely user friendly and the support provided is excellent. Any emails sent to Egmat is quickly responded to(I never had to wait more then an hour).
I have tried 3 different prep-courses for GMAT preparation before switching to e-GMAT. Being non-native speaker, I always had problem with verbal section, specially SC and RC. I tried all these 3 courses based on review and price and helped me to improve my verbal score from 28 to 32. Although my quant is very good, I always got bad score due to verbal low score. Then I decided to look for courses that target non-natives as we learn English in a differently than native speakers. Then I found e-GMAT and most them had positive reviews and verbal score improvement and most importantly from "NON-NATIVES". I made up my mind to try this and started using it's trial version and liked it immensely and even attended one of the live sessions about verbal strategies from e-GMAT. After this , I was convinced and took Verbal online courses and within 10 days of my practice of 4 hrs a day I found improvements in SC and RC. When I took the mock tests after 20 days, my verbal score was improved to 37-39. I must attribute this improvement to e-GMAT as it helped me to solve verbal questions in methodically. This skill I developed solely due to e-GMAT's thorough and detailed approach in teaching verbal courses. e-GMAT not only teaches the rules but also helps you learn how to apply them in solving the questions. After practicing and learn all the methods my score stands at 41. Thanks to e-GMAT and their excellent course I feel I have learnt effectively and able to tackle GMAT verbal section with confidence. Based on my experience I would recommend e-GMAT verbal online course to anyone having tough time in mastering verbal for GMAT exam.
After a really bad score in actual GMAT exam (V22), I realized that I need lot of preparation and the online GMAT course I was using is not good enough to help me realize my goals. After looking at the free webinars and reading impressive reviews about e-GMAT I decided to purchase the verbal live subscription.
I still have to retake the test but so far I have found the verbal course very useful especially the format in which SC, CR and RC course work has been laid out. The online video files and quizzes pertaining to every section helps to implement the concepts learned into actual GMAT like format questions. Further the verbal live reinforce the concepts and fill in any gaps through online sessions. These live sessions include 700+ level questions which are solved in time environment and help to train your mind to deal with difficult questions early on in your preparations. The ease with which the concepts are explained makes this course very valuable to people at different level of understanding. The online sessions and weekend verbal live classes make the course a great fit especially for working professionals.
The SC is the most detailed online course you can find. It contains detailed concepts, quizzes and explanations for OG 13 and OG verbal 2. The 3 step process though hard to implement in time constraint but if you can adopt this process it can really boost the verbal score. The OG SC correction explanations are very helpful in preparation to verify that you are rejecting the answer choices for the right reasons rather than “sounding good” reasons. The CR and RC course though not as detailed as SC course but they cover most of the question types you can find in the exam. The verbal live sessions helps to develop the prethinking process for CR. The RC sessions taught by Shraddha really helps to develop a process for reading the RC passages in more strategic manner.
I don’t know how much I will eventually score in the GMAT retake but one thing I can say for sure is that I learned lot of concepts which will go with me life long. I would recommend e-GMAT to everyone and this course is worth every penny.
The Manhattan GMAT online classes were great in the fact that each class was recorded. I rarely have 3 hours at night to sit in front of a computer so I was able to watch the classes on my own time. Also, a HUGE advantage is that once you open up the recorded class on your computer, it will play all 3 hours even if you're not connected to the internet. I watched most of the classes on plane rides to/from clients.
I had studied and taken the GMAT once before the class so most of what the class taught I already learned. But, there is a lot of information presented in the classes and I like the way the study plan gives you a guide for your studies.
Also, I emailed J.R. Tomkinson once to ask him a question about the pre-test scores and he never got back to me, ever! I figured it would take him a few days to respond - afterall we are all busy- but he never got back to me, not even after the class ended. I was pretty disappointed about that considering the massive amount of money these classes cost.
It's a great course, helps you in understanding the small details of how to break down a sentence and indentify errors.
I never knew that just by understanding the meaning of the sentence completely will help find the errors in the sentence so quickly.
The concepts for RC are wonderful, they help in quick analysis of the passage. Initially you make take time in following the process, but as you practice it, it becomes secoond nature to you.
Once you get the verbal concepts of e-Gmat cracking the verbal section is really not that difficult.
I really want to thank e-Gmat for making my life easy for GMAT verbal.
Dear Viewers,
I have purchased the e-GMAT's ' Verbal Online' course and found it very useful.
It is structured very well and with increasing level of difficulties for each section.
It is very user friendly and easy to access.
Each level needs previous levels to be complete which helped me to focus on concept building and then the application of the concept in the GMAT questions.
Also there is test on each topic and the result in terms of marks which shows our expertise in the tested topic. So that we can evaluate our self better and prepare the weak points better.
Thank You.
Hello everyone,
I have purchased the e gmat verbal online course some time back.
The best thing to mention about the course is the training methodology used.. the audio visual stuff is simply superb concept they have implemented..
Once you revisit the concept for 3-5 times, believe me, you wont forget that thing for the rest of your life.. thats how its taught..
I have still not completed all sections of the verbal course.. but still there is a clear improvement from V25 to V32 (even though 20% of the stuff is still pending from my side)
e gmat has taken my confidence to a new level while answering verbal question.. Now I know why a choice is technically incorrect..
I would definately recommend e gmat verbal for anyone who wants a drastic improvement in verbal section.. Will post a debrief after giving my gmat which is 1 month away..
