During my preparation, I was planning to join a course for GMAT verbal. e-GMAT focused on the verbal part and is highly effective because of the teaching methodology. I joined the course in June and started with the SC part. The course content covers the important topics and the illustrated examples on various concepts are instrumental in scaling up the knowledge of SC.
CR tutorials train to analyze the argument meticulously and consider various possible assumptions, thereby minimizing the chances of errors. The RC passages could be more rich in content with more difficult questions like the ones in Manhattan GMAT tests. Nevertheless they are a good source of practice.
The discussions in online sessions were helpful in clearing most of the common doubts. I especially remember the CR session on Boldface questions where some of the most challenging problems were discussed and it helped significantly improve my approach to solve such questions.
But I would like to point out that the voice in some part of the tutorials is not very clear and the time management in some of the online sessions would have helped us learn more.
Overall, I found the course to be really useful.
Hi
I had signed up for the SC course 5 days before my first attempt at GMAT in June '13. I scored 640 (Q48,V29). After the abysmal performance I was determined to do well and decided to book a test date again.
My Job involves a lot of travelling and, even though I signed up for th effective CR and Verbal live add on courses of e-GMAT, I could not focus on my studies.
In October I decided to take a shot at GMAT again. I have my test on Dec. 19th '13. But by this time my enrollment for the e-GMAT SC course was about to expire. I recieved an email from Admin for the same. I requested the e-GMAT team extend my enrollment for a month and to my surprize they happily agreed.
I was very delighted by this gesture. e-GMAT has prooved once again that it's not only about the money. I have been studying through e-GMAT only for verbal and in the mock test already my verbal is touching 35-36. Hope to improvise further and post another review after my GMAT test.
I am very thankful to the e-GMAT team! You guys rock and so do all your sessions and concept files!
Highly recommended!
I was introduced to E-GMAT learning platform back in May 2013. At that time, I was frustrated with my inability to improve my GMAT performance especially after covering the MGMAT Sentence Correction book. I am not saying that MGMAT is not a good source, however, it did not work for me as I anticipated it to. I read a lot of good reviews on the GMAT Club site and decided to subscribe for the whole live prep course-including SC, RC, CR and IR sections. All teaching members are very friendly and explained, in detail, any questions that you might have during the live sessions. I was able to improve my accuracy and increase my speed on the SC and CR questions. As a result, I improved my verbal score from 21 to 31. I recently decided to take the GMAT exam at the end of November, and now I work on my RC skills as I was not able to cover them for my last GMAT attempt. I would recommend the E-GMAT platform to any non-native speaker.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
