Course e-GMAT Online 360

“I used the e-GMAT course and was able to score 730 (Q48, V44). I took e-GMAT’s Verbal Live course and e-gmat was a big contributor to this significant increase in my verbal score. Your SC live sessions helped me a lot. Like most others, I was one of the rebellious ones who had doubts about the approach e-GMAT suggested. I was concerned that the approach will take lot of time but once I got used to the 3 step method, I could complete the answers in less than 2 mines - as you have been saying all along.

I also need to mention about the RC tutorials. The detailed analysis of all the answer choices, including the wrong answer choice patterns was a GREAT help.

I have tired both VERITAS and Manhattan course, the two most expensive and supposedly the best courses available but didn’t the score I expected. Ultimately, help came from the lesser known courses such as yours and Grockit. One thing is for sure, e-gmat's RC course is one of the best we have in the market at the moment. Thanks e-GMAT. Especially Payal. You are truely amazing. It really shows that you want us to do well”

Hello friends, I gave my GMAT in Nov & got a dismal 500 (Q43, V-18) & after that I enrolled in E-GMAT V- online course. On April'4th, my score was 630 (Q-48, V-29). I would mention categorically that this significant jump in Verbal was only due to E-GMAT.

Take for instance- SC--> Verb ing modifier uses..(or) how common errors could be created using "Like".
RC - diff types of Qtns,
CR- how to pre-think for each type of Qtn & more important was how to identify which answer choice is with in the scope & how it impacts the conclusion.

You name it & they have it for each element of Verbal for GMAT. This course is simply amazing.

e-gmat SC course is an excellent resource for any GMAT taker. It really breaks down the SC concepts into nice logical way so that one can really start applying the concepts right away. The best part is the way the course creators have logically grouped the most tested concepts in the course. Also, the examples and the quiz in the course nicely compliment to the concepts provided in the course.

For me personally, the course has increased my confidence level in tackling the SC questions. I have been scoring high in all my GMAT prep tests particularly SC. I highly recommend this course for any non-native speaker.

This was definitely a great investment, with the help of Magoosh my score went up by 100 points. The key is that you have to be really motivated and practice every day. The explanations are clear and easy to understand, and the practice sessions are adaptive, so you are really practicing for the GMAT.

Magoosh gives you tips to do math at a faster pace, and the reasoning behind it. Magoosh also gives you pacing tips, which for me was one of the greatest advantages.

The questions on Magoosh are really at a high difficulty, which helps you over prepare for the exam

Yes. Magoosh is indeed a gem of the courses available. I have enrolled in their premium subscription and the explanations are awesome.

The range of questions are qutie broad. The difficulty of Hard and Very Hard questions are beyond the imagination of real questions in GMAT.

I specifically like the sentence correction, DS and Problem solving video explanations.

Kudos to Magoosh and looking forward to shine in GMAT with your awesome guidance.

Dear Friends,

E-Gmat is a game changer in the field of GMAT verbal preparation by its innovative ideas and scientific approaches. I have followed several books and took other online courses for my GMAT exam. But I was not satisfied with my results. E-Gmat approach to solve Sentence correction is truly a rewarding experience.

E-Gmat always stresses on understanding the meaning and the structure of the sentence rather than learning the English grammar by rote. This step by step approach helped me to eliminate the wrong answer choices.

Anyone who is preparing for GMAT should definitely take the free courses available at E-Gmat website. It will help you to understand the E-Gmat approach to solve verbal question.

Above all Rajat and Payal are very much approachable and help you to solve different question. The E-Gmat has a forum to address the doubts of the students. I found this forum activity very useful for my preparation.

Well, I always believed in self study instead of tutor, classes and all. After taking some MGMAT mocks, I realized that verbal score was not improving, and it was always dancing between 29-31. My GMAT was around 2 weeks away, and I thought of taking a GMAT prep test. It was a real bummer and scored 28 on verbal. I knew that I could not change 28 to 38 in 2 weeks time, but did not want to change the exam date either, so talked to Rajat Sadana and explained my situation. Rajat suggested to me to take SC course only. I purchased just that and finished it in 10 days.

The Course was awesome. Concepts were explained like teaching kids at elementary level, so they are hard coded in your memory. Their approach to tackle questions was really strong, if practiced religiously you will overcome timing issues. Their approach digs the question really deep and there is a very little room left for errors.

Not only the SC course, but I also got some free videos on their website for CR and RC course. I worked on their CR bold faced questions approach and figured that my accuracy in OG increased surprisingly using their strategies.

If I would have come to know about their course earlier then I would have turned my 28 verbal to 38+ by doing all 3 sections from their course. Anyways I did good on my test day and was able to score 34 in verbal. I believe e-GMAT course came really handy for this improvement in my score. Not to mention, if you have any doubts or concerns just post it on their website, and you will get reply really fast that is useful for people who get anxious if they have a question while studying.

I believe that if one seriously studies all 3 sections from their course and practices really well using those techniques for all OG and Verbal Review questions, then one can easily improve by 7-8 points in verbal.

I have taken knewton, a instructor-lead verbal course in bangalore and e-gmat. E-gmat teaching methodology is unique and the best.

I have always liked the pictorial method of teaching and e-gmat teaches concepts representing them in a pictorial fashion. The concepts are concise and to the point. They have a great customer support. Compared to other Test Prep company, their course cost is reasonable.

I have researched a lot and finally took e-gmat after getting twice fooled by knewton and the local test prep company. E-gmat is value for money. If you are looking for something in verbal, e-gmat is the final destination.

Course Magoosh Premium

Magoosh is definitely an amazing service. The course material is neatly organized and relevant for the GMAT prep. The amount of practice problems for all of the GMAT sections is more than enough.

But to be honest, the main strength of Magoosh is how they deliver the quality content - the instructional videos with tips and strategy are value for dollar on their own. When you take the incredibly helpful and friendly staff which is on call to help you with any difficulties that you encounter along the way, you are certain you cannot find a better deal around.

I took a live prep class which was like any other - it focused on teaching you math and making you practice verbal which is useful for repetition, but it has nothing to do with GMAT. Magoosh puts you in the right state of mind and explains the logic behind the exam. It teaches you how to do well with the right way of thinking, which I can tell for a fact is the most important part of taking the GMAT, since I scored decently high by seeing problems that need solutions rather than tasks that need to be solved.

All in all, 11/10.

I Joined the e-gmat Verbal Live Prep course few months ago. At that time i was really weak in the verbal SC and CR. This course really help me to improve my SC and CR. Now a days i am going through RC section.

I have a very busy schedule of work in my company, 10 to 12 hours, after that when i go to home i really don't want to read any thing, but this course is very visual and easy to understand. I scheduled my GMAT date on 22 April 2013. Now given some prep test and improved much in the verbal part..i really like to thanks to the e-gmat people for such a wonderful course.

I am almost done with the course, the SC and CR part is excellent.

I have purchased MGMAT in the past, I feel the e-gmat SC and CR strategy is bit different from MGMAT and better to understand. I read the MGMAT SC Guide thrice but still feel that i am missing some parts, but this course made my life easy.

I will give more details about my experience once i finished my exam...meanwhile i must say that if u are really weak in GMAT verbal, then try ur cent for this course...

Hello Guys,

I would like to share my opinion about the e-gmat course.

I bought the VERBAL LIVE PREP on Feb'13 and had 45 days to study before my GMAT test. On my first attempt I got 530 (Q39-V24) and I was really disappointed with my overall score, specially on verbal section. After doing all sections on E-gmat platform I could improve my score to 690(Q48-V37).

I'm from Brazil and the verbal section was really challenging to me because of difficult vocabulary and short timing to work on each question. It is not easy for a non-native speaker recognize the pattern used on GMAT verbal section and E-gmat platform help you on that. My learning sequence on E-Gmat platform was SC, RC, CR and Integrated Reasoning.

SC: The theory and examples used are very easy to understand and the way E-Gmat presents the content is very illustrative and facilitates memorization. It's is an excellent material. The only negative point is that they have questions solved for OG12th edition and since I bought the new OG13th edition this area was not so helpful to me since they don`t show the alternatives during the explanation.

CR: It is really great material that helps you to understand what the question wants you to recognize. After some time, when you read the passage, you start to recognize the type of question and to remember how the question look like. You can recognize a pattern among questions and improve speed and accuracy.

RC: It was the most difficult part to me. GMAT texts are very detailed and boring. When you start reading a passage, it is very easy to get lost in the middle and have to go back and read it again. In my point of view, there is no trick to get questions correct besides improve comprehension. I improved my comprehension skills watching E-gmat videos and solving many questions on Grockit website. I also spent a lot of time evaluating wrong answers.

IR: The concept videos are very good and give you a very good idea about different type of questions you can found on your GMAT test.

My overall review about e-gmat is very good and I strongly recommend it specially for non-native speakers. It will help you to improve the specific knowledge required on GMAT verbal section and you will not loose time reading many other materials.
