The strategy guides were great and the instructors were very helpful. The online classes provided the structure I needed to keep myself on schedule. Seb and Chris made the classes fun as well as a great learning experience!

I believe the study plan played a major role in my score.

The archives of Thursdays with Ron was a great resource. Ron get you to approach the problems with the right attitude.

I also took the advanced workshops. The workshops were very useful as they pushed me beyond my comfort level.

Overall, it is the best investment you can make if you are aiming to score above 700. I got a 750 (V 41, Q 50).

I was told by friends and family that manhattan gmat can help people break the 700 barrier. and they can.
The books especially for verbal, are very comprehensive and have detailed explanations.

After reading the Sentence Correction books, you start to recognize patterns in sentences. This way you can eliminate 2-3 answer choices in a matter of seconds.

The books also help to keep you from getting confused when answering Critical reasoning questions. Critical reasoning can be dangerous if u change ur line of thinking based on answer choices. Manhattan Gmat teaches you how to keep on track.
The teachers are all very proficient in what they do, and i assume they must have a very good success rate.

I'm very pleased with how ive performed in my GMAT.
So i can definitely vouch for Manhattan Gmat.

I think Magoosh has one for the best resources available to prepare for GMAT. It has more than 800 questions to practice for types of level and topics, which provides much needed flexibility for preparing for a particular topic initially.

I was surprised to see the awesome level of RC questions especially the ones of very high difficulty. Sentence correction section has some great insight on to look out for errors in the stem before going through the answers. They also have great support team, which gets back to you whenever you contact them.

If you're lost and don't know where to start from, I would recommend Magoosh.

I signed up for Magoosh for several reasons. First, it was discounted to $100, a very attractive price for such a comprehensive program. The next thing that brought me to Magoosh was the 50 point score increase. Little did I know that I not only would exceed the 50 point guarantee, but that I would also break 700!

With Magoosh, I increased my official GMAT from 630 to 700 in just under 6 weeks!

Magoosh was absolutely instrumental in my prep. I've always considered myself a pretty strong math and verbal guy, but the GMAT was a different monster. Magoosh's videos were very engaging and the instructors clearly explained all topics. If you are around the 40 range for your quant score, I would highly suggest buying Magoosh, if only for the fantastic math videos. I scored a 40 on my initial GMAT, and with Magoosh I was consistently registering 47-48 on practice exams (and that was with only about 4/5 of the math videos watched).

The verbal is also highly educational. I am a native speaker, but the Sentence Correction videos especially provided many aha! moments that helped me break the 90th percentile (40V).

The videos were short enough so that you could easily sit down and crank a few out if you are crammed for time after class or work. I would highly recommend buying a notebook to take notes on all of the video lessons to review later. Watching just 10 videos a day and working about 15 problems a day was exponentially helpful to my 70 point score increase.

I can not recommend Magoosh enough. Thank you Magoosh!

I started using Magoosh after unsuccessfully using another competitor's program. What I really liked about Magoosh is the in-depth question bank, as well as the video explanations. I really do think that's what makes a difference - being able to see a visual explanation of the problem makes it easier to understand and remember the problem, and steps taken to derive at the solution (at least IMO). overall, I would recommend this program and for only $99, you can't really beat that price...definitely well worth the price!

The only negative thing I will add about the program is that I didn't find that the problem sets had enough geometry and critical reasoning questions...

When I started my GMAT preparation, I was consistently hitting 49-50 on the Quant but Verbal was bit of a handicap as I was struggling to go past the 30 mark in the early days.

I went through countless forums as I was hellbent on scoring a 700+ which was only possible with a target of 35+ on the Verbal. Being a non-native, I needed a course which understood my problems. After reading about e-GMAT, I thought of giving it a try. I first enrolled only for sentence correction course, and within 15-20 days my accuracy on SC was hitting 80% consistently. Within a month of the course , I could barely get SC questions wrong with accuracy hitting 90+ %. The presentations and practice quizzes were a great boost and also the UGE files just kept my flow going till the GMAT.

I knew that I needed one more strong section on the verbal besides SC. Because of the good experience with SC, I also enrolled for CR Course. CR Course on e-GMAT focuses a lot on pre-thinking which is one thing that I was lacking on initially. But I finally started working on CR questions confidently and my accuracy increased from 65% to around 80%.

With two strong sections on the Verbal, I didn't wait and went ahead to give my GMAT. With all the careful planning, I hit a 710 with split of Q50,V37 .

Thanks to eGMAT majorly. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants great results in short time. This course is specially great for non-natives.

I’m writing this review to thank the e-gmat team for their great effort. Everyone makes our lives easy to get top score in verbal section. In the same way, I like to share my experience that may help students to shorten when studying GMAT verbal.

I enrolled in Egypt in a classroom course that was disappointing. I rarely understand the CR or solve SC correctly. Through studying each gmat course in gmat club, I found e-gmat content which I was rich. I decide to go for “verbal life prep” to get more life practice and answer my question. There was a good deal for $299 for 6 months. As soon as I registered, I was provided with password to access the website. The program comes with mock tests.

E-gmat organizes the study through plans and calendar for live sessions. IF you miss one, you do not need to panic because you can listen to the recording or simple attend next month.

For sentence correction experience
• Follow e-gmat process. This helped me to understand some of my errors.
• Stick to the level and do not jump.
• Always study the concept even you feel that you know it.
• Review the concept files clearly.
• Solve application files.
• Solve OG13 sentences. I can mark progress
• Attend live sessions especially, parallelism & modifiers.
• There are extra trainings in UG section.

For Critical reasoning experience
• Focus on the “Conclusion and premises” 3 concepts files.
• Study each concept file and its application and dissect
the examples to know how to solve it.
• Give yourself time and do not be rush.
• Pre-thinking is crucial to CR process.

For Reading comprehension experience
• it is easy. I had good experience from my TOEFL exam

All what I need to say is that you need to start engaging with strong source rather than get trapped in other sources that won’t help you.

I shifted to online prep companies after spending over a year in self-study since then I felt I needed focused professional guidance. Like all employed fellows, I have to manage time as and when I can manage. I finally opted for Magoosh Premium since OCT 2013 and have been using it frequently.

I've mostly used the Quant section and found it to be helpful. I need to devote more time to the verbal section, but it looks okay. The explanations after every question are helpful. I think Magoosh has helped me to pace up in attempting questions. The interface with the timer certainly gives you a perspective of the test environment. I still have a long way to go but overall I think Magoosh is a good course for the price they are offering.

I have been enrolled for the Magoosh Premium online for the last 2 months. It has been a great support from then.

Though being an Engineer by profession , had forgotten the 10th Grade Mathematics. But, Magoosh has helped me revisit and also enjoy the same. Especially, few topics like probability, which were once a nightmare. Now, I am pretty confident with the help of Magoosh.

The topics start right from the scratch , which enables any student understand the same irrespective of a math or non-math background.

Yet to explore the whole set. Would continue to have fun learning at Magoosh.

Thank you once again.

This (very) user-friendly service was an excellent way to quickly and efficiently review both Quant and Verbal topics I had trouble with. I felt increasingly comfortable with my deficiencies as time inched closer to test date (11/18/13), and I achieved a 50-point improvement, breaking the 700 barrier with a 720. I'm very proud to recommend this service!

In addition to Magoosh, I utilized practice tests by Veritas and 800Score, all of which contributed to my success. Additionally, their customer service is top-notch - they always got back with me quickly to resolve any issues I had, which were few. The videos and especially the explanations were extraordinarily helpful - you're able to correct yourself quickly and access similar questions to really hammer away at any problems you're having.
