Magoosh is definitely a good starter kit for someone new to GMAT and not willing to spend the big bucks. They have a series of video lessons which are excellent concept builder. The slides are interesting and provides the required information. I would recommend it mostly for the theory part of the GMAT preparation. One specific area where they excel is the expert response. I haven't used any other prep services but any question related to any area of GMAT are promptly responded by them within 24 hours! I have even asked SC related questions from external materials and they were gladly answered

I started preparing for GMAT about 50 days before the test and after wandering all over the place for a decent verbal strategy I finally got the e-gmat verbal online course and boy it was awesome.
From day 1 I could see my verbal score and comprehension improving. Since there was not much time I couldn’t complete the scholaranium which turned out to be a pretty awesome tool for practising new and GMAT like questions.
Going from a verbal score of 24 on my first GMAT official mock to an actual score of 35 on the GMAT was really made easy by the way e-gmat course was structured.
I would suggest the verbal course to each and every serious aspirant of the GMAT specially to non natives or to those who find comprehending SCs and CRs difficult because there is a lot to learn from it.
Happy preparing and thank you e-gmat.

I purchased E-gmat course around 4 months back. Being an Indian I'm good with qaunt. My verbal score in my mock test was pretty low. I was devastated by looking at my verbal score in my mock tests (V25 or something I don't remember actually). One of my senior suggested me to take E-gmat verbal course. I took verbal online course and started practicing all the modules in the course. The best thing about e-gmat is that it has the best user interface. In particular CR course is the easiest and interactive course. Their way of teaching the concepts using examples and then the practice files is well organized. There are around 1000 practice questions in the scholaranium which are similar to the actual GMAT questions. My competency has been increasing and I'm now confident with my verbal. Thanks to E-gmat and their support team. If anyone is not comfortable with verbal and don't know where to start with then I would suggest that E-gmat is the best place.

Before taking the Manhattan Prep online course, I believed that I was disciplined enough to take the self-study route. Though I diligently studied through the OG, Manhattan Prep Study Guides, and the GMATClub resources, I felt that I hadn't actually learned anything. This culminated in scoring a 550 on the GMAT after a year's worth of study.

I chose to pay for a prep course to help focus my studies and also decided that an online course would be best. The online course provided me with flexibility, since I travel frequently, and also allowed me to pick a highly rated instructor, and after doing some research, I chose to enroll in Jamie Nelson's online class.

I would highly recommend taking an online course with Jamie Nelson. Not only did she translate the study guides into layman's terms, she provided tips and tricks that she had accumulated over her time spent teaching the GMAT. Jamie's "Jamieisms" provided shortcuts to common quant and verbal questions, helping me to save on precious time.

More importantly than her teaching ability, Jamie was always available outside of class hours to help. I was weak in specific topics within the quant section, so I would reach out to Jamie for advice; she was ready to forward drill sheets and class notes from her other classes so that I could bolster my learning.

I believe that the online prep course provided me a stable foundation to build my understanding of the GMAT. I began with a 550 on a Manhattan Prep GMAT and ended with a 700 on the official GMAT. To everyone reading this post, I can't recommend the course more. I wish everyone luck in their journey!

e-GMAT Quant scholaranium is definitely a powerful and helpful tool which is a must have for someone who wants to score a brilliant 700+. The concepts are explained in a clear and concise manner and practicing in the scholaranium would easily help someone who is at a below Q35 and to someone who is aiming for Q50+. What I really liked about the course is the "create custom quiz" option which as clear as it sounds helped me to choose the number of question along with the difficulty level and the duration of the test , this helped me get my timing in place and I could accurately see which were my major weak areas. The queries that are asked in the forum are cleared within a day and that helps to get your doubts cleared almost immediately.

The brilliant analytics along with questions ranging from Sub 600 level to a 700+ level makes Egmat Quant scholaranuium a must have. I recommend this course to all who feel their basics are a little messed up as I myself have moved from a Q37 to a Q48-49 level.

Thanks

e-gmat's verbal course was a great resource during my GMAT preparation. After trying various online resources and failing to improve my verbal score, I decided to give it a go with e-gmat trial. The way the course is structured and the focus on meaning made me buy the course right away. e-GMAT focuses on the key aspects you need to learn and you can always benchmark where how you are doing with the powerful scholarium tool. Only few weeks into the course, i feel very confident about my skills and continue to improve! My only regret is to have not discovered e-gmat before and not having more time to improve my verbal ability.

I tried a bunch of free products from various sites before finally choosing Magoosh. I got it at a discount for $120. I was aware that their Verbal modules were probably not the best, but my main objective was to revise certain high school math topics I was rusty on.
Mike is a great teacher. He makes it a point to reiterate the important stuff several times and tells you which videos you can skip based on your prior knowledge. The Magoosh Help portal connects you to him and I was able to clear several doubts this way.
I didn't watch a lot of Verbal videos on the platform, so I'm probably not the best person to review them.
One thing that I didn't like about Magoosh was its mocks. The questions were picked directly from their practice question bank and the scoring didn't make sense to me.
Overall, Magoosh worked well for my needs because I just needed a recap. Their quant videos were the best part.

This course is everything you need to accomplish your GMAT goals. I would say the only thing that is tough is getting through a three hour online class in one sitting. If you see this as being a potential problem for you, don't panic - do these two things and you should be good: (1) pick a good time slot during the week that you will be able to consistently make and a time that you won't generally be extremely tired during (also, don't overthink this, you'll be fine if you are internally committed) and (2) pick a great teacher like Jamie that will make the three hour class as exciting as it is informative. Manhattan Prep actually allows you to test out teachers (the first session is free) which is great because it's is very important to like your teacher - nine 3-hour sessions lay ahead of you (but again, don't overthink it). Would I recommend this course, absolutely. The course material is great and does a good job of steering you toward what you need to focus on.

After a totally disappointing result in my first GMAT (470 with 17V and 39Q) I decided to get an online course which gives me a good overview of the verbal section in the GMAT. The e-GMAT Verbal Online course was a great helop to do so. My improvement was not that much, but thats because I wasn't able to finish the complete course due to personal issues.
At the beginning the indian accent was not easy to understand but after the first videos this was no problem anymore.


If you want to ace the verbal section and get good summaries I totally recommend the e-GMAT Verbal online course!
