Course Magoosh Premium

Location Online

Magoosh really helped me to get a grip on long lost concepts. The video lessons are quite helpful and refresh most of the concepts in an easy manner. The practice question section with its well-developed filtering options is quite outstanding. Magoosh = Value for money.

To enhance the product even more, some of the video lessons could be re-recorded due to their sometimes poor audio quality. But since there are only a few of them it is not a problem.

In the near future - so I have been told - users will be able to make some kind of full practice tests (mock test) and receive a GMAT like score result.

Course e-GMAT Online Focused

Location Online

The e-gmat course was a real bliss to me. I was very weak in verbal initially. I thought I was good in grammar as I did my schooling in a decent school in India. But the GMAT verbal is completely different. I used to get only 30-40% and I felt dejected thinking I was unfit for the test. Only then did my husband find about the e-gmat course through GMAT Club. We read a lot of positive reviews about it and so we decided to take a risk and got the full Verbal online package. IT WAS WORTH THE RISK.They helped me crack my fear and helped me improve my verbal score to 80-90%. When my subscription was about to expire, they also helped me extend it. I am really grateful to e-gmat for helping me improve my verbal score. I feel that there is no other better course than e-gmat for verbal.

Course e-GMAT Online Focused

Location Online

I used the e-GMAT verbal online course and was able to score a 750 (Q-50, V-40, IR-8). The e-GMAT course is methodical and very scientific. It made the whole process of learning objective and therefore leave very little scope for mistakes. I had tried to learn all the rules for SC correction but that was an unnecessary overkill. The course gave me direction and I was able to channel my time efficiently. The videos are clear and concise and the quiz at the end of each videos hammers the concept into your brain.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone reading this review. The least you could do is buy the SC and IR course. A 200$ investment in this course will definitely benefit you and I am sure with this course coupled with your hard work, you will be able to achieve a high score.

And a special mention needs to be given to Rajat and his team. They always responded within 24 hours to my mails and addressed my queries in a timely manner.

The only major drawback I could find with this course is the glitches in the software.

Course Magoosh Premium

Location Online

I got myself the premium package and I was surprised how very well instructed the lessons were. Of course, some lessons were too easy for me, because I still remember all those basic things, but it was very useful to remember everything from the start. As for a non-native speaker, it takes more time for me to process each question, and I still have some difficulties in Math, this part is more problematic for me. As long as I am watching these classes, I am starting to get used to the process and calculation techniques. Magoosh taught me very helpful tricks for faster calculations in math and sentence correction in verbal sections.
I will definitely recommend Magoosh to my friends.

Course e-GMAT Online 360

Instructor Shraddha Jaiswal

Location Online

I enrolled for the e-GMAT verbal online and live sessions. Prior to joining e-GMAT, I was using MG and honestly the whole concept of prepositional phrases, SV agreement, LDR for pronouns, SV, modifiers among others was all Greek to me, and my approach was to “use my ears to look for a choice that sounded good," skim through the choices, look for similarities, and guess the answer. There was no strategy.
The e-GMAT course taught me a systematic approach for SC and that GMAT is not so much a test of grammar but that of meaning. The finite rule set approach is what made the course very beneficial. I improved my score from 27 to 37 and am now aiming for 40+ for my GMAT, which I will take in a month. But as, “Rome wasn’t built in day," neither is your GMAT score, e-GMAT will provide you with the tool kit, but in the end it’s all about practice.

All the best
Cheers

Course e-GMAT Online 360

Instructor Krishna Chaitanya

I gave my GMAT first attempt on 3/12/13 and got a disappointing score of 500(47Q,13V).

With that score I understood that I needed to work on Verbal. I went through all the forums and GMAT club reviews to find out the best online coaching for verbal.
After going through all the reviews I found out that e-GMAT was the best course. I went through free trails and realized that it was the best for me.

I went through all the sessions post assessment quizzes and attended workshops. I am happy to say that now I am at V32 level. e-GMAT helped to reach 32 from a very low score of 13.

Online tutorials, workshops, and the course's detailed explanations are very helpful.

I am thankful to entire e-GMAT team.

Course Magoosh Premium

Location Online

I bought the course about 6 months before my actual GMAT test date, thinking that I'd casually go through the lessons and do the numerous practice questions, all by the time the test came around.

The lessons turned out to be really engaging and accessible, and made studying for the test that much more enjoyable. The quant section in particular really helped, and builds the key concepts from the ground up. The SC section is great also-very thorough.

Magoosh can teach a lot of other websites on how to build an engaging portal- the whole thing is extremely user friendly and intuitive. It's so simple to see where you need more work based on the questions you've completed, and there are enough of them to keep you going for months, alongside the OG and other free resources. (I didn't manage to finish either verbal or quant sections).

I ended up with a 710, up from 600 or so on a GMAT prep practice exam taken the day before I bought Magoosh. Very happy!

Course Manhattan Prep Live Online

Location Online

I was really pleased with my decision to go with Manhattan. The online course fit my need to do the course in the midst of a cross-country move and the fact that the courses are recorded made it easy to go back and watch. I did the bulk of my preparation after the course was over ;)

I was most impressed by Manhattan's offer of a free hour-long consultation after you take the exam and are not happy with your score. They are truly committed to their students' success.

The two things that would make the course even better is if they offered their individual coaching session discount to group class participants after their class was finished (not just during) and integrated the practice test and practice problem logs.

Overall though, very pleased and will continue to recommend it.

E-GMAT is the most complete course for verbal GMAT, I guess that many people agree this is true.

Having the necessary tools for the non native to became much more accustomed with the test format and nuances, this small start-up company has done a surprisingly excellent job with all the verbal theory via videos (and practice exercises)

The support team is excellent and very kind and friendly, answering every email within hours, clarifying doubts or technical issues.

Though I have not used the course extensively, Now I'm planning to attack its huge data best of very well written SC questions (we know that there is not good unofficial SC material, well E-GMAT does a very good gob in that).

Course Magoosh Premium

Location Online

After doing poorly on the GMAT, I decided to look for something better than just reading GMAT study guides and review books by all the big names in the field. I needed something more to build upon my ancient math skills, and poor understanding of all of the rules of English even though I am a native speaker. My last standardized test was 20 years ago when I took the SAT, so needless to say my skills were rusty.
Magoosh provides an excellent framework for getting up to speed quickly. The quant section is fantastic for providing you with the basic and advanced skills needed to tackle most question types that I saw on the GMAT. The verbal lessons were great too. I needed extra help with sentence correction and, because of Magoosh, my verbal score went up 9 points. If you are like me and need to relearn the basics, Magoosh is an excellent value. I was able to complete all of the lessons and over 900 questions in just about 2 months. Each lesson is video based and each question has a video explanation. This is an ideal solution for those who really need to work at the GMAT from the ground up.
