Course Experts' Global "Must Have" GMAT Review

Location Online

The test series of 15 mocks by Experts Global is great, the best in the world of GMAT!

The quality of questions is very high and challenging as well as strictly on the GMAT pattern. The scoring is not off and a very decent suggestion of where you stand. The explanations are detailed and the video explanations are really helpful.

The best part on their platform is the analytics as they really give a very deep analysis of performance and you save a lot of time in doing it yourself; moreover, the kind of analysis their portal gives is probably manually impossible.

A part of their analysis that gave accuracy on slowest 20% of the test was a particular eye opener for me as I realized that when I was spending extra time, I was mostly getting the questions wrong. This taught me to avoid spending extra time on questions I struggled with and instead focus on doing rest of the questions correctly.

In my opinion, this test series is a must-have for any GMAT aspirant. A good part is that it is also very economical as you get 15 tests for just $50 so even if one is enrolled with some other course, one can afford this test series and have a great option for tests and analysis.

Course Experts' Global GMAT Verbal Prep Online

Location Online

My GMAT preparation was mainly focused around the Verbal section as I have been good with Quant since my school days.

Despite trying all the main study materials in the world of GMAT, my score in Verbal was not improving and I was struggling to breach the 30 mark. This is when I saw some videos by Experts Global and decided to opt for their Verbal only program.

The program did wonders to my Verbal prep as things have been taught in a very practical, non-theoretical way in Experts Global's material. The sentence correction books helped me create a very strong foundation and the videos really helped me in practically solving the questions quickly.

With around two months of dedicated focus on Verbal section through EG, my accuracy as well as speed improved drastically in sentence correction and this allowed me more time to deal with RCs and CRs as these are topics in which I could do well if I have enough time on the test.

I would like to thank Experts Global for this wonderful GMAT course. Their videos are short and amazing, the SC books are really detailed, practice exercises are highest in quality and high in number, and mock tests are brilliant- the best in the world of GMAT!

I cannot say much about their Quant but the quality of questions (both Verbal and Quant) was great in mock tests so I would imagine that even their Quant is great.

From personal experience, I would strongly recommend Experts Global for their Verbal course and the test series.

Course e-GMAT 4M Focus

Location Online

I started researching about all the best available resources out there and eGMAT was the clear winner. I took their free trail, went through few materials and attended webinars. I most effective thing about eGMAT is that it is an online course, which gives you immense convenience to study at your own will and time. Also, I found solving questions online made me get used to the GMAT format a little better than solving from traditional books (I am someone who tried both. So you can take my word for it).
I purchased their quant and verbal packages right away and started the preparation.
RC Strategy
I have attended a webinar in eGMAT for RC during which a statement by Payal stuck a chord with me. She said that often times we forget that the passage is a real pice of article coming from an authentic source. It changed my perspective towards RC and made me look at passages not just like some tool through which GMAT is testing me, but like a story that’s happened in the real world. It helped me immerse into the passage and assimilate information before answering the questions. It helped me a great deal with accuracy and gradually time taken for each passage.

CR Strategy
Hands down, pre thinking strategy by eGMAT is the best approach for cracking CR questions. I know there are other ways in which you solve the arguments using equations, negation statements etc, which I think make CR complicated than it actually is. CR is essentially about our thought process, which fortunately can be developed with time through pre thinking strategy.
When I initially started practicing this strategy, I used to take a lot of time for each question but my time and accuracy were far better by the end.

SC Strategy
The quality of SC questions in eGMAT are spot on. Solved as many questions as I can and noted down each and every incorrect question into an error log (MUST). Went through the error log in regular intervals. With a lot of practice my accuracy increased from 40% to 90% by the end of my preparation.

Course e-GMAT 4M Focus

Location Online

I enrolled with e-gmat twice. First in 2017 - haphazardly used the platform and did not follow the guidelines. This half baked preparation reflected in my first score. However, I had a distinct take away when I walked out of the exam center that the e-gmat had all the tools that I needed in the past four hours to perform better if only I had prepared seriously.

Two years later, I re-enrolled with e-gmat for my second attempt. This time followed the course to the T. Took 2 months to prepare. Scored 730.

The Concept files, application and practice quizzes builds your fundamentals for GMAT. However, scholaranium is the goldmine. This is the section that truly prepares you for the 2 hours of Verbal and Quant on the exam day. I extensively used the scholaranium to test myself through Ability quizzes and practice endlessly. 1000+ questions and each of them helps.

I have seen countless wonderful reviews of e-gmat's Verbal course and I don't have any different opinion either. But I have taken the course twice over 2 years and what stands out is that these guys evolve. And evolve for better. Check out the new CR module. SC module can't be perfected any further in my opinion. i did not use any other course/practice.

Quant - They prepare you for what gets tested - language, information overload handling and ability to concentrate. Use scholaranium ability quizzes wisely and honestly. They pretty much reflect your readiness for GMAT.

Did not use any other material/course. Used gmatclub tests for extra practice on quant, the subscription for which comes with e-gmat sign up. Gave 2 official mock tests.

I will recommend e-gmat for anyone who is not only looking to write GMAT confidently but also looking to enjoy the 4 hours of the dehydrating process.

No cheap tricks, completely online, usefully interactive, no hassle of turning pages of 6 books to cover the verbal and quant course.

Wish the e-gmat team all the best.

Only one month of TTP - 100 point improvement

Definitely recommend TTP for quant improvement. After my second attempt (Q39) and consistently scoring only Q40-44 on practice tests, I knew I had to dedicate my time towards quant. I used TTP for only 4 weeks using the accelerated study plan, which instructs you to do the section tests first and then read chapters on any questions you incorrectly answer on the tests. Great targeted practices that drill concepts into your mind.

Despite only finishing 60% of the course, I still managed to consistently score Q47-49 on practice tests and ultimately a Q48 on my third attempt! Was extremely satisfied with the course and can attribute most of my success to TTP. I recommend anyone that has 2-3 months to do the full, regular study plan, and even if someone has 6-8 weeks to do the plan on the accelerated study plan (works well if you have already had 1 or 2 attempts and have a foundation of quant knowledge).

Hi there, it was encouraging to read your post. I've been struggling with a Q36 for last one year. It's heartbreaking to put in so much effort and still meet with stagnancy. Makes you wonder where you're going wrong. and i've been scratching my head on this for months. I have a decent foundation of quant (i hired a rather expensive private tutor to brush up my quant fundamentals as im a writer and i have little to no background in maths). I then gave an attempt which was dismal.i then took EGMAT course for 299$ studied again for 6 months and gave an attempt....still stuck at Q35/36. ordered kaplan mocks, redid a whole lot of practice questions in quant and gave third attempt last month...met with Q 36 again (got all medium questions on the exam).
I really need to rethink my whole approach to quant before i give my next attempt. Do you think TTP will help? I am studying aloongside job..so i generally give 2-2.5 hours weekday and 5 hours sat and sunday each....i'vw already invested a lot of money in prep courses...really want to make my best move this time...one that really gets me results. do share your thoughts please. thank you

Hi Mosaician, I am not stocking you. I swear :-) (but I do get review comment notifications for spam purposes).
I would highly recommend that you study BEFORE work. E.g. if your work starts at 8 or 9, then wake up at 6 and study for 1.5 hrs before work. That will be the most productive and valuable time you will have. If you can pull just 1.5 hours in the morning, that's equivalent to 6 hours after work probably (and likely even more since my mind was pretty useless at night). Instead I just read books, fiction, studied some vocab, and did review in the evenings. I could not be productive otherwise.

See if you can rearrange your work schedule or your sleep schedule for even a month to see the difference. Make sure you start each day with review of yesterday's material (don't just read but retell it to yourself - tell yourself what you have learned. I also took notes and wrote things out. I never studied with the notes but the fact that I wrote them down imprinted them in mind long enough to get a 750).

Good luck!
B.

Course e-GMAT 4M Focus

Location Online

My experience with e-GMAT has been stellar. After using some very disappointing resources for GMAT prep, I happened to attend a free webinar organised by the company on RC. I was blown away by the simple but effective teaching style of Payal. Her reading and comprehension tips are the same that I have always followed sub-consciously over the years as I have read books. It was only with her teaching that I understood the underlying principles. The company's constant focus on understanding meaning is by far the most effective, fool-proof and easiest approach to solve questions. It may seem daunting at first and especially so if you are used to mugging rules (or have read in others' experiences that the same is necessary). However, let it flow organically and trust the process and you will see a drastic improvement in your understanding and score within days.

Experts`Global is a comprehensive prep-course. The quantitative section offers a wide range of videos on topics covered in GMAT. Both quantitative and verbal sections offer such an extensive questions bank by topic that you will rarely find such a useful question bank in other preps.

However, the quantitative section tries to provide some "formulas" to solve problems. I find this effort counterproductive since GMAT is more interested in critical thinking. "Formulas" are just a tool to help in the critical thinking process. Another aspect is worth mentioning. The exams were not adaptive. This lacking was simply frustrating since an adaptive score predicts more accurately the actual GMAT score.

Course Magoosh Premium

Location Online

Hi GMATClub members,

After giving GMAT and achieving a miserable 640 score , with verbal only 28 , I made up my mind to enroll in formal online course instead of self-study.

I had few courses in my mind - but I was quite price-sensitive , so after weighing pros and cons of various course , I zeroed in on Magoosh , which was providing 40 points improvement guarantee .

I did not pay much heed to its Quant Part , so wont comment on that ; however its hard and very hard questions are superb if you are aiming for Q50-51

For Verbal , I completed this section with letter and spirit. It covers each and every aspect tested on GMAT , but somehow misses the 700+ question nuances and subtleness. The hard and very hard questions are somehow not GMAT type but more of a complicated version of 600+ level questions.

The best part about this course is - Email Assistance . You can ask your doubts anytime and the team will revert in no time . Very active , friendly and knowledgeable student - mentoring team.

Somehow , this course didn't work out for me .
This nowhere discounts the credibility of the course , because each one has its own unique study style . On top of that , you can always claim a refund.


Thanks
Vikas

PS I could not claim as I could not finish its Quant Part.

Course Experts' Global "Must Have" GMAT Review

Location Online

Its a test for revision and to pace up your things. But i have doubt on its adaptability, as in some test i find quant really easy whereas in others its really difficult. So i will give 3 stars. And if you look for video explanation, you will find some of them really awesome, but some of them are really poor because i find some explanation really big and time consuming whereas other are really short and time efficient so i have mix feeling regarding these test. But one thing is for sure that question types or material is gmat type. so these tests are good for practice rather than totally rely on them. Best tests are official tests.

Although I couldn't improve my score in my actual GMAT exam, the course has helped me with a lot of concepts. The way they have broken down every topic is fantastic and creates rhythm. Every topic is followed by GMAT type questions, which help solidify the concept. All questions come with the difficulty level and it's really helpful in knowing where do you really stand and how much more effort you need to put to complete that topic with better understanding. How can I forget their GMAT mock tests. All questions in the mock come with video explanation, again a great help if you like to watch videos and learn. Overall, I found the entire course to be very helpful.
