I was pleased with e-GMAT verbal section. Though I am a native English speaker, I had trouble with GMAT questions. I performed poorly in the CR sections in my first attempt. I lacked concentration to fully understand passages and effective approaches to questions. However, my second attempt was much more successful and I was more comfortable with CR.

I purchased the 6 month access and I believe the price was a great value, especially considering the amount of practice questions in scholaranium. e-GMAT dives deep in its methods and clearly explains them. They introduce you with powerful strategies to dissect passages and pre-think.

My only negative point is that there were many non GMAT grammar related typos. There were many sentences that did not include articles in front of nouns which as a native speaker was distracting.

I used TTP after using Manhattan (which didn't go too well for me admittedly) and I really liked their breakdown of the lessons, I loved the detail it went in, the topics that it covered as well as the sequence of the topics. They really breakdown each topic in a detail level that is absolutely needed. I liked that there were practice questions throughout the lessons. I also liked the after chapter quizzes (they come in easy, medium and hard range, and are such a good practice, and you know what you should be aiming for). I also liked that it told me my best, worst, areas and I could understand what to work on. The videos with each question are so helpful because they help to understand where you are going wrong. My only suggestion would be to purchase their 6-month subscription rather than month by month because if you are in my boat, you will realise you want the course for a much longer time and will now be paying maybe a 100 dollars more than if you had gone with the subscription...Overall, a big yes !

I highly recommend the GMAT prep offered by Target Test Prep. I was already studying Quant for a couple of months but I was lacking some of the basics because the last time I used them was already a couple of years ago (classical situation). I needed a structured course that led me through everyhting I need to know to ace Quant and TTP offered just that. I highly recommend it for everyone who needs a comprehensive prep from scratch. I tried a number of other Quant Preps as well but TTP was the best one for sure. What I also enjoyed about it was the very professional user interface (believe it or not, when you spend so many hours with it these things actually are important). Together with GMAT Club Tests this is the only Quant Prep you need to achieve Q50/51.

I joined the e-gmat course after my first attempt in GMAT. I prepared for GMAT with E-GMAT verbal online course.This course has provided me immense help and has been a great mentor in clearing my concepts. Their RC part is well structured and defined.The SC section is amazingly designed, structured , and detailed that one will surely improve his/her accuracy and timing if follows the 3 step eGMAT process diligently. Focus on pre-thinking in CR questions is also another amazing aspect of the course. The tests given here give a good and a "close to the real" GMAT exam. Overall experience has been excellent and I would recommend this to anyone who wants to excel in their GMAT exam.

I used the various courses out there to try and improve my verbal score but nothing would stick. I would always get stuck between 2 answer choices in SC and would only pick the correct one 50% of the time. After taking e-GMAT's verbal online course, I understood how the sentence would change meaning with the way the sentence is structured. This skyrocketed my accuracy are helped improve my overall verbal score. Their SC module is the best I've seen and if you're struggling with SC there is nothing better than this out in the market. Additionally, the CR module was great to help me identify how t pre think the answer but not be 100% sold on my answer.

I had self-studied using Manhattan Prep books for the GMAT for two solid months and took the test in July - sadly, I got a 640 and was deeply disappointed in myself.

After giving myself a month off, I decided to take matters into my own hands and enroll in a GMAT class. I would have preferred an in-person course but live in the Midwest, so an online class was the next best option. I ended up choosing Manhattan Prep for their live online class, and I am so glad that I did.

The course I took was compressed into about 6 weeks and boy was it a marathon! It consisted of 3-hour classes every Saturday and Sunday with a long list of homework assignments to complete during the week in between classes. It was definitely a slog, but it was worth it. What stood out about Manhattan GMAT's approach, in my opinion, was the way they taught the course. They placed a firm emphasis on mastering foundational quant skills and then taught techniques and shortcuts to use on the test. I also really benefited from the timed questions that they used during the class. They were excellent practice that helped me shed my jitters around completing complex math questions in such a short period of time. Tony was also a great instructor. He was patient, kind, and always willing to explain a concept multiple ways so that students fully understood it.

Thanks to this class, I increased my score from a 640 to a 710. I also got a 99th percentile Verbal score and a much higher quant score than I received before. It's not cheap -- financially or time-wise -- but I firmly believe that committing to a Manhattan GMAT course will significantly increase your score.

The course is fantastic. They way they've structured the verbal is really brilliant. My verbal score improved from a 33 to 40 in a span of about 1.2 Months as well as my Quant (42 to 48) and I managed this with a full-time Consulting job at a Big-4. Their foundation concepts along with their application files and post Module Quizzes really drills in concepts. Verbal Scholaranium is a treasure trove of quality questions.

I've been trying to crack this exam for close to three years now. My breakthrough was e-GMAT, Kudos to those guys. It is a must have course if you are serious about improving your score.

I'm from a non quant background and had a lot of struggle with quant at the beginning at my preparation.

I recommend Magoosh Math for everyone who needs to brush his/her quant basics. I don't think that you can hit a Q50/51 with Magoosh alone, but if you start from a lower level and want to progress to a Q~46/47 than Magoosh is definitely a good choice.

The video lessons are not to long and provide all of the necessary information to deal with certain topics. After my studies with Magoosh, I understood a lot of concepts such as probability and combinatorics, and geometry with which I struggled at the beginning of my self preparation.

I'm really glad that I tried Magoosh and could improve my Quant.

I signed up for the Target Test Prep service for a quick brush-up prior to my GMAT exam. I had previously taken the exam and scored well in verbal, but needed a serious quant boost!

After reading multiple reviews, I went with Target. I had my exam coming up in about a month, and needed some intensive core skills review + practice problems. The 'chapters' available on Target were an awesome way to walk through fundamentals. There was even an option for 'accelerated practice' which lets you focus on slightly more complex material.

The practice tests were comprehensive, testing a whole slew of possible GMAT areas. The answer explanations were thorough. There were also video explanations which I found super helpful.

The team was super responsive to any questions I had - both material-wise and customer service-wise.

Overall, I'd highly recommend.. especially if you need to focus in on quant over a short period of time! My score was much more balanced after studying with Target. Thanks Scott and team!

Despite being a natural strength of mine, I completely tanked the Verbal sections on my first two attempts on the GMAT, getting a V33 and V35. With another attempt scheduled in just 2 weeks, I decided to go for broke and purchase the e-GMAT Verbal package.

I only had two weeks to prepare and was skeptical of starting my prep from scratch. The structured approach to tackling Verbal questions advocated by e-GMAT makes it exceedingly easy to arrive at the correct answer. The systematic division of topics and topic-specific skills, along with on-demand video lessons, helps acquire those skills faster. Scholaranium, e-GMAT's question bank, is endlessly customizable and helps you hone particular skills repeatedly. On the GMAT, repetition is key to mastery, and e-GMAT has based their course around this.

I only used the service for ~15 days but my the approach helped me elevate my score to V42. I'm confident that enrolling into e-GMAT's courses from day one would have pushed my score above 760. The questions are representative of those on the actual test and the techniques advocated help save time and relieve pressure when taking the test. Great stuff; highly recommended!
