Through the Egmat's structured startegies and approaches, I scored Q51 twice consecutively on my official GMAT attempts. It's difficult to score Q50 on quant but it's much more difficult to score Q51. I knkew knew all the concepts even in my first attempt but in my second attempt, I knew the exact strategies needed for seemingly difficult questions. Quant Scholaranium played a huge role in improving my ability in quant. I always enjoyed solving the customised tests on Quant Scholaranium. One important thing to keep in mind while solving quant scholaranium questions is that choose all Easy, Medium, Hard and Very Hard questions in each of your practise tests once you are confident about the concepts and applications. Otherwise it will be very difficult and frustrating for someone solving all the Hard and Very Hard questions in the end. It's a good strategy to spread evenly all types of difficulties. For sure, very hard questions take more than average time ( 2 minutes ) to solve but attempt them and try your very best to get the answer even if it takes more time than usual. These questions actually provide resistance training for your brain. Its It is like if you can lift 100 pounds during your practice then you can definitely lift 80 pounds on your show day. In that sense “very hard questions” push your brain to think beyond your traditional limits which in turn makes you more efficient especially in data sufficiency questions. If you have practiced and understood all the 1000+ questions on Quant Scholaranium, then you have got everything you need to score Q51 on the official GMAT exam.

51 on Quant!

I took the exam on 10th August and got 730 (Q51, V37). In my previous attempts, I was never able to get full on Quant (50 and 49).

I want to outline the role of e-GMAT Quant Live Prep in helping me get to 51. Although I knew that my Quant was strong, it needed some serious brushing up. e-GMAT with their rigorous yet relevant conceptual questions helped me specifically with Number System, Probability, Sets, and Statistics. Most importantly, I gained a lot by practicing on Quant Scholaranium.

The rigor of some questions is just amazing and it was refreshing to solve those questions. It really made me feel confident and in flow with my Quant.

Choosing the right verbal course for nonnative speaker is critical to succeed in Gmat verbal section. It didn’t take me a lot of time to zero in on egmat course after going through reviews about the course on gmat club.

The course follows a structured and meaning based approach which really helps to crack questions at ease.

Mastered Compression really helps to tackle even the most difficult of RC passage. On the top of it the structured approach taught to solve different question types really helps.

The concept of Pre-thinking used in CR truly unique and effective. If one follows the process as taught my experts, then finding the correct the correct answers is never a struggle

When I started SC, it was my weakest section. The meaning based approach really helped me to improve my ability. It goes beyond the different rules that we usually come across.

Course Magoosh Premium

a) Magoosh has a very well defined structure for Verbal lessons and typically covers everything from basic that a non- native speaker should know to become more sound in solving complex Sentence correction and Critical reasoning questions. Also video explanations after each question are self explanatory and one doesn't need to look for any personal instructor to help with doubts. If in case, there is any doubt, instructors are very polite and clears the doubt with a very holistic approach over email.

b) Quant lessons contain every topic that are covered in GMAT syllabus and questions generally provide exam-like feel.

c) One area of improvement is that user interface can be made little smoother to switch between different sections, but that in no way hinders the study experience in long run.

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.

Best course for verbal

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.

Course Manhattan Prep Live Online

Instructor Jamie Nelson

Location Online

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

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.
