This was a great 9-week online course. The ability to join live online or watch the recording if you had to miss a week was great with studying and working at the same time (especially with a consultant's lifestyle!). Joe and Liz were dynamic and approachable, and really know their stuff. They were always willing to stay on after class and explain things in more detail for those who wanted to go over something.

The course was a great introduction to the content, and the strategies provided both during the course, in the books, and in the post-course assessment were extremely valuable. The wealth of resources available, including the OG archer (with the ability to complete and track homework problems) and the dynamic practice exam reports that showed which areas needed work across practice exams were invaluable. The homework review sessions and recorded explanations for problems were very helpful as well.

Overall, definitely worth the money. Ended up with a 750, far surpassing my expectations, and an increase of over 100pts from my first practice exam.

Prepping for the GMAT is similar to getting into shape. Manhattan is like a personal trainer--they teach you what exercises do do and how to execute them properly, but it's up to you to put the work and actually lift the weight. The content instruction and study plan Manhattan provided, couple with and the time I was able to invest some practicing and error-logging review problems, I improved my score by over 150 points.

Some additional thoughts: The instructors were very responsive to questions both inside and outside of class. The one-on-one post-course assessment (which is included with the class) was very valuable in terms of planning my last few weeks of study before I took the exam.

Magoosh course is very helpful as it provides the access thru your laptop or your ipad. I had a question and they replied back in one day. The courses are too the point and the video explanation is good. I have been spending 1-2 hours per day on the course I am seeing a lot of improvement in my English and I am able to understand the verbal problems much better.

Another benefit of Magoosh course is that it is very affordable in comparison and because it is relative new course so they are very very prompt in responding. Thank You

I have been using E-Gmat Verbal Live prep for three months now. It offers clear cut views on various different concepts required to master verbal section of GMAT.

The concepts are clearly detailed and easily understandable especially for non native speakers. My GMAT mock scores had improved since I started attending E-Gmat live prep courses. I had read a couple of Verbal books for GMAT like MGMAT and Veritas, however EGmat live prep offers the best understanding of concepts with no ambiguity. And the instructor is always helpful and clears concepts which may seem odd to the student. I am preparing to take my GMAT exam on July 25 and I am hopeful of making good inroads in verbal section in my first ever GMAT exam.

At the onset, I would like to express my sincere thanks to e-GMAT team for creating a wonderful online course that fulfills needs of industry veterans like myself who are miles away from minute concepts like grammar, critical reasoning. eGMAT online verbal content is so precise & pointed that it took me few days to get on track.

I found their SC & CR sections very easy to understand as compared to another leading online course that I purchased. e-GMAT content is very well written & explained to minute details.

Special to mention is their best in class IR content. The way they explain various sections with multiple scenarios would help fresh graduates. Specially graph analysis, since fresh graduates dont see those compared to experienced people.

Also to mention is their online support on queries. They are very prompt on answering queries on concepts or specific questions.

After taking all online content, my practice exam score improved by 20 points on Kaplan and MGMAT.

My target was to get enrolled into Fellowship in one of Top 10 indian B schools. With e-GMAT's help, I was able to score decently in GMAT (650+) & convert by bid in one of Top 5 B School in India.

Sincere thanks to team at e-GMAT (Payal, Rajat, Archana) for help in my endeavor.

Once I had decided to study for the GMAT, I asked my sister to recommend a prep program. She had 4 words for me: "sign up to ManhattanGMAT". I am glad I listened to her.

I purchased the Live Online course. My lessons were highly interactive, and enabled me focus my efforts on key content within Verbal and Quant categories. I found the Sections very helpful, as instructors solved OG questions using a variety of methods. Answers were explained in a clear and digestible format. I especially love the use of the double set matrix to solve Word Problems!

Thank you, ManhattanGMAT!

I went into the program aiming to get above a 700 and had heard from multiple friends that Manhattan GMAT was probably one of the best options given my goal. I really enjoyed how they sent you all of the materials along with a syllabus of 'homework' to do each week. I was very diligent, doing all of the required work as well as the recommended problems, so by the time the online class came around, there wasn't much for me to really learn. With the exception of a few discussions during class, all of the tips and concepts they were explaining I had already figured out during the week. This is not to say that I did not like the class: the syllabus they gave me and having the class to go to forced me to do a lot of the work to figure it out on my own, and if I did have questions they were extremely helpful either in class or via email. If I hadn't included the online course, I do not think I would have done nearly as well. I received a 750.

I have found Manhattan GMAT's Complete Course (the 9 week course) to be one of a few truly fine products in the world. There is plenty of content and additional study material beyond the individual class sessions and homework assignments. If you are willing to commit the time (which is a lot) than there is no other prep program better than ManhattanGMAT. I could not recommend this program any more highly.

I also found that ManhattanGMAT's "Thursdays with Ron" to be particularly useful. I believe that this is a resource that only ManhattanGMAT has.
I scored a 620 on my initial diagnostic and ended up scoring a 720 on my first actual GMAT exam.

I have been trying to cross that 35 barrier since 4 months now. I had started at just V22 when I gave my first gmat prep. Through the 4 months, let me tell you step by step I have reached to V32 now. Its just been because of e-gmat course where they have personally analyzed my weaker areas and given me feedback regarding what I need to revise, what I need to practice and presently I am in stage where test taking strategies needs to be improved.

For Indians especially, I would recommend E gmat course because its the concepts and not just practice that will make you strong. Egmat helps you make the fundamentals strong initially. Normally Indians have the habit of reading faster without comprehending the text. Quicker comprehension is where I think Indians do lack. When you are giving gmat exam, the pressure still makes you weak in comprehension and this is where Egmat helps you alot. The strategy of quicker comprehension and the prethinking technique has helped me alot in these 4 months. I have reached a stage now where I am getting 85% accuracy in Rc in which I used to get only 50% accuracy as inference and detail questions were my weak points. Spending more time on passage and getting the gist in case its a tough paragraph (which usually takes time) are the key strategies to crack RC is what I learnt over here. SC's prethinking technique and getting the meaning of the sentence too has increased my accuracy in 700 level questions which initially used to be wrong. Coming to the test strategies too, I have been following their strategy of getting 2 questions right in the next test by working only on one weak area per week. Let me tell you that it takes time but its worth it. Even if you invest 6 days only on a particular CR weakness or any any other weakness , it helps you answer that particular question in test more confidently. I am left with following weakness as of now:

CR: Bold face, Flaw in the reasoning.

SC: Some unique 700 level in which options are too close

RC: supports a particular argument, least support.
The last test i gave I got 32 in which I got only 13 wrong overall which implies accuracy has improved but needs to be much better in the first 15 questions of verbal where my score dropped actually.

The mental fatigue is what pulling me in verbal. I need to practice more on giving full length tests though.


I hope I join the 700 club soon. Looking forward to kill GMAT>

I came across E-GMAT when I was reviewing various courses. It appeared to me that E-GMAt is the best option for non-natives. Before I signed up, I attended a couple of free sessions by Payal and Rajat. After attending these sessions and knowing their course fee, I was 100% sure to enroll for E-GMAT.

I have started learning various concepts of SC and found that it is much better than Manhattan SC in terms of clarification and description. After each lesson, you have to go through a quiz session to review your learning. It provides you rules but focus more on application of these rules. These aspects were very useful to me.

The course structure for SC is very practical and provides an opportunity to judge your level of learning. The course can be used at your own pace, I was traveling a lot early this year therefore unable to attend online sessions, however, recordings were available and the team was very helpful in answering any question I had. I have seen a drastic improvement in my verbal accuracy. I am hoping to have my exam in the next few weeks and my target is to reach 750.
