Course Magoosh Premium

Location Online

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.

Course Magoosh Premium

Location Online

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.

Course Magoosh Premium

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.

Course e-GMAT 2M Focus

Instructor Payal Tandon

Location Online

I chose e-GMAT at an early stage of preparation and I am glad I did so. The course is very comprehensive and it sticks to a single “process”. What I like about the course is that it keeps things simple and there is no need to memorize rules.

The e-GMAT process (3-step in SC, Prethinking in CR, and Reading Strategies in RC) is extremely useful under the exam conditions. It shows that the PROCESS NEVER FAILS even when we are under pressure.

The Live sessions are fantastic – they start from where the Concept Files have ended and take you to that 750+ level.

The workshops are real eye openers – they show you where you are lagging and help you to achieve your dream score.

The faculty is of top quality and always ready to help you. Whenever I had a doubt I could get it cleared by e-GMAT experts. The replies were well researched and thoroughly explained.

Overall, I owe a lot to e-GMAT.

Well, I heard about Magoosh from my friend and I tried the trial pack for a week and found it to be really good.

I went on to purchase the premium package and the videos in that were fantastic. It helped me understand a lot of topis in a better way,the critical reasoning part was fabulous.I'm planning to give the Gmat a crack by the end of december 2013 and it hope I come up with a good score. I've been doing the practice tests under the Beta feature in Magoosh and it gives us the experience of taking an actual Gmat test sans the IR and AWA.

Course Manhattan Prep MGMAT Self-Study Toolkit

Location Online

Thanks to Manhattan GMAT and Ron Purewal's "Thursdays with Ron" lectures, I was able to boost my score from a 580 to a 770. 9 books that Manhattan GMAT has to offer fill you in on the basics you need to ace the GMAT. If you need to refine your study plan even further, you can get the Manhattan Advanced GMAT Quant book and easily get accustomed to the patterns prevalent in Quant section of the GMAT.

If you have to choose one course, choose Manhattan. The books are amazing, and the instructors are more than happy to help you if you have any problems during your journey to the perfect score.

Course e-GMAT 6M Focus

As a Non-native speaker, verbal is my weakest part. Although I have sound grammar knowledge but I could not solve GMAT SC through that simple grammar knowledge. I heard lots about e-GMAT, especially for Non-native speaker it’s a best online course. So I Signed up e-GMAT verbal online course.

After 2 months when I had complete my SC and CR concept, I realized my accuracy has increased almost 60%, which makes me enough confident. I really liked the course. Specially the meaning based approach to SC is awesome. My accuracy jumped just as i started to apply this approach.

Initially it may take some time, but its a very useful and handy tool to attack SC once you master it. I would also like to mention about their CR attacking strategy. The Prethinking strategy helped me to understand the CR stimulas more clearly. I knew what i have to do. The prethink strategy helps you to attack the question actively. The RC part is also very well organized .I got Some simple way to Crack RC puzzle. They have very effectively organized the IR part. After every concept they take a quiz which is related to that concept makes its student very much clear about those concepts.

At last, My GMAT exam date is 20th Dec. so I want to gives really thanks e-GMAT for make me confident about my Verbal part

After taking the Diagnostic Test of GMAC in OG-13, I realized that my Verbal Scores were quite low. This course helped me clarify a lot of doubts and covered a lot of basic concepts.

Content:
This course has a lot of content for complete Verbal Section. But the content for Sentence Correction is self sufficient and the discussions in the forums are quite helpful. The detailed methodology explained in the course for all the Sentence Correction and even Reading Comprehension questions is quite helpful.

Guidance:
Many live sessions are organized from time to time which help in fine tuning GMAT strategy. Further, the doubts are clarified and answered within a day.

I initially started my SC prep with manhattan sc and later followed many materials, they all did help me, then i practiced 100's of questions and i always thought practice would get me to the top...but its been a while and i found my scores being inconsistent...after some thought i believed it to be because of my over dependence on my intuition, and intuition without good logical backing may lead to inconsistent performances. But i read all the best sources at least a few times, then i felt i'll try e-gmat, after hearing about it on gmatclub.

Let me please tell you this thing. It is the only best course available in the world for non natives especially Indians. Egmat team knows how non natives approach the questions, how much they understand each and everything.

This course helped me a lot, now, when i choose a choice i know why that choice is right and the others are not. Even now i am able to see many errors in my office emails also.The course helped me strengthen some of the concepts along with giving me a right approach.If you will follow their approach then definitely you accuracy will increase.

At last egmat is a must try for every non native citizen who wants to achieve a good score.

Self-reported Score:
730 Q50 V39

Improvement 70 Points

Course e-GMAT 6M Focus

Location Online

Intro: I'm an entrepreneur based out of India and I am applying to the Top 5 US programs. My aim was to get a 700+ score.

I scored a 730 (Q50, V39) on the GMAT recently (Oct 09 2013) and I can't thank the e-GMAT course enough.

I had started my preparation a little late for R1 and first decided to go for a quick fire preparation method and chose the GMAT pill but saw absolutely no improvement in my performance (from GMAT Prep 1 to GMAT Prep 2) and that's when I started looking for alternate verbal programs . I specifically needed a Verbal program because I'd scored V29 in my GMATPrep.

After reading the great reviews of e-GMAT on GMAT Club, I enrolled for the Sentence Correction Course on e-GMAT.
I must say, in less than 4 days , I noticed a difference in my accuracy while attempting the OG '13 questions.

After finishing just 2 levels of the Sentence Correction, my Verbal scores jumped by around 5 points and I was extremely pleased as the number of SC mistakes per mock test dropped from 8 per test to less than 4 per test.

With the improvement I saw in SC, I quickly upgraded to the LIVE Course (I got a top up for $99 as it was the end of the month special).

The CR course really helped get my thought process right and fixed my CR basics problem. I had fortunately analyzed that I made 70% of my mistakes in the Weaken and Inference CR questions and I dedicated my CR preparation to these particular modules.

Another advantage with the CR approach of e-GMAT is that it REALLY helps you think through the AWA part of the GMAT as well and I was fortunate to score a 6.0

(I didn't bother with the RC as I'm a firm believer than RC can't improve overnight.)

The Integrated Reasoning section of e-GMAT is extremely detailed and covers a large number of problems of varied types but I would personally advise you to use it only if you specifically have issues with a particular type of problem. Otherwise, the GMAT prep questions are more than enough (I scored an 8).

Also, the e-GMAT Customer support is great and they are very quick to respond to emails and clarifications.

I suggest you use the course (watch the videos and attempt the pre and post tests) to get your basics right and practice from the Official Guide.

Overall, I would highly recommend the e-GMAT course to EVERY non-native . It's a great investment for a high Verbal score and I am sure you can easily have an 8+ point improvement in Verbal using their course.

Thanks
Rohit..
