Sometimes its not only the study resources, but also the coaching and mentoring that makes all the difference. Joining e-Gmat gave me that morale boost and a defined action plan to work on. Course structure is very well planned out. e-Gmat simply is the most extensive, well designed and comprehensive prep course in the GMAT test preparation industry. For me, having English as a second language was a bit of worry, but with the e-Gmat course structure, I understood the key concepts needed to take the GMAT without any inhibitions.

For the Quants part, they concentrate on the Concepts more than the shortcuts which I liked a lot. This approach gives you a confidence while taking tests that you can solve any problem. Work on Accuracy... Speed will automatically improve. This is e-Gmat's approach. It worked very well for me. I took their Quants course seriously followed all the concepts explained by them and got Q50 on the main GMAT... I did not follow any other material for Quants. This time, I am going to take the GMAT just to improve my verbal Score. I should have followed their verbal concepts before taking the first attempt itself. Now that I have almost completed their verbal concepts, I am feeling confident about my Verbal prep and hope to score good . Their Sentence Correction is specially designed for Non-Native English speakers. I bet nobody can match the quality of their Sentence Correction course.

The approaches to be taken to solve Critical Reasoning Questions were cleary categorized and explained with examples. The pre-thinking approach was the best thing I came across for CR strategies. Their Scholaranium is extensive. If you cover all the questions in Scholaranium and OG, you should be all SET.

They have a specially designed website which helped me navigate to the desired topics. They had a clear study plan outlined for me with chapters broken up into groups. A small test at the beginning and at the end helped me to measure my understanding level of that particular topic. The Scholaranium has around 700 questions in verbal and more than 1000 questions in quants. These questions are a mix of all difficulties, solving these helped me manage my time accordingly. The program also allows you to create your own custom tests, selecting the topics, the difficulty level, and the time per question. This enabled me to work selectively on topics I was weak on and to test myself on the hardest questions.

My preparation for GMAT started around April of 2017 and I have been practicing on and off for more than a few months. I mostly studied from the resources available in the internet and OG. My practice lacked momentum, and I lacked motivation. Preparing for GMAT became more of a hobby rather than an active goal. In December, I realized that I do not want to take the GMAT without assistance of any Prep company. I was enrolled with GMAT Club and the I signed in to one of the free sessions on SC and Number Properties by e-GMAT. I was glad to see the methodical approach prescribed by e-gmat, focusing more on ability than tips or tricks. The methodical approach struck a chord with me, and I purchased the Verbal+Quant online course. Needless to say, the e-gmat Verbal is top notch and has helped innumerable students achieve their verbal score. The best quality of e-gmat is that it motivates the students to have the faith in their approach, follow the process, and know their takt time. Master comprehension is a piece of gold, and reading slowly with 100% comprehension is the single best advice for conquering GMAT verbal section.
Not a lot is discussed about e-gmat quant course. e-gmat quant online course was the only course that I used for GMAT preparation (apart from OGs), and boy it helped me score 49 with minimum preparation. From an engineering background, I did not have a lot of difficulty in the Quant Section and I devoted a vast majority of my time to the Verbal section. Having said that, there were a quite a few concepts that I was not good at, and e-gmat quant course helped me tremendously with those concepts. I absolutely dreaded Algebra (inequations and absolute equations), and I was also not very comfortable with the rules of Number Properties and Coordinate Geometry. The best part of e-gmat quant course is that it is extremely thorough and covers the entire breadth of skills tested in GMAT quant section. The scholaranium questions are almost all highly difficult questions and prepares you for the GMAT battle. I highly recommend e-gmat quant course to all GMAT students looking for an online quant course. The beauty of GMAT quant is it's subtlety. It tests concepts and efficiency rather than speed. It needs extreme attention to detail. The e-gmat quant course has beautifully captured all these nuances and has delivered a course that truly prepares you for the toughest GMAT quant questions. Some quant questions (especially Word Problems) in scholaranium are too long to read and are really difficult to solve in 2-3 minutes. GMAT rarely has such long questions in the exam. However, the difficulty of the questions actually makes one stronger and more prepared for the actual GMAT battle, which can be really intense.
I will end this review with the statement that for all the students who are looking for a GMATPREP without a hole in their pocket, e-gmat verbal+quant online is the way to go. It is the most affordable and the most effective GMAT prep.

As someone who travels frequently for work, the online virtual weekly class was rather convenient for my schedule.

While I had been interested in applying to business school for sometime, I dreaded the prospect of preparing for another standardized test. My class instructor, Mark Sullivan, eased that dread by presenting the course content in a way that was intuitive and enjoyable. Mark was successfully able to frame something I had been dreading for years into one of the highlights of my week. Mark was extremely friendly, answered my emails promptly, and genuinely cared about my success on this test. The flipped class method that Mark uses for his class encourages you to leverage all of Manhattan Prep’s best resources.

Manhattan Prep lived up to the hype for me. Their online resources are easy to use and access no matter where you are. The courses provide extensive data for you to continuously strengthen any weak areas.

Prior to this course, I had minimal GMAT experience. Within two months and two weeks I had an official score of 720. I will be taking the GMAT again soon to see if I can improve that score even more.

I used 3 months of the Flexible Prep package to study for the quant section of the GMAT this year. I am a native English speaker and knew that I was relatively strong at the Verbal section going into my GMAT. However, despite being an engineer, I was relatively unprepared for the quantitative section of the exam. The quant section wants you to think in a very specific way and memorizing certain tricks and formulas can take you very far. I initially started my prep using the Manhattan GMAT books. I went through all of them and realized that I hadn't really retained any of what I read because the practice was not engaging or well structured. It did not force you to review material periodically and didn't provide very many GMAT style problems to practice with. I took a second CAT after reading the books and found that I'd made very little progress.

Enter Target Test Prep. I read the reviews of many online resources before settling on TTP, partially because of the reviews and partially because their price point was MUCH more manageable than other companies. I feel like I got incredible value for money with the package, ultimately boosting my score from 690 (first CAT exam) to 780 (official score).

Some of the aspects that I liked most about the Target Test Prep software were its plethora of examples and practice problems, the periodic reviews of past material, and the similarity of the problems to the questions in the GMAT official practice exams and actual exam. The software has 2500 practice problems, testing you on every quant subject imaginable. I finished every practice problem, including re-doing some of them when I felt that I wasn't as solid on a topic. Every few chapters or so, the programs prompts you to review the latest material. This kept me accountable and forced me to build knowledge instead of just memorizing a technique for a few days to forget it several chapters later. I used the written study guides and made note-cards in addition to following the online progression.

After completing the studying, I took the 2 practice exams from GMAC and 4 practice exams from Manhattan Prep. The way questions were worded or structured in the GMAC exams was extremely similar to the way TTP had taught me. On the other hand, Manhattan Prep seemed like it was purposely trying to trick you. On the test day, I saw several problems that were structured in a that was almost identical to what I had studied with TTP.

As my final test score obviously demonstrates, TTP prepared me extremely well for the quantitative section of the exam. I would highly recommend it to anyone who really needs to focus hard on quant and may be stronger or more confident in verbal.

The first great think about EGMAT is the structure of the course. Every lesson is followed by a quizz that helps you build a solid ground from which to improve later. Then I teaches you how to reduce problems in a way that its relative easy to apply the knowledge from the classes.
The course teaches you very well how to attack problems in a structured maner. It has lots of practice with different levels of dificulty and they really put a lot of effort to explain the solution. Also the schoalarium platform has a practical diagnostic board that lets you see the topics in which you are good at or those where more practice is needed.
Another good feature is that the course also "forces" you to solve the Official guide. You might think at first that the course makes you spend more money than its actually needed but it is totaly worth it!

I took GMAT on 1st JAN 2018 and scored 700.What was most satisfying in the score report was verbal score of 37. I understand that V37 is not a great score, however improving from V17 (in my first mock test) to V37 is a refreshing change. After initially failing to increase my verbal score despite referring to multiple resources, i turned to E-GMAT verbal online course and that decision made a big difference .

Their course content is comprehensive and detailed.The best part about the course was their CR course which encourages people to pre-think. Initially you might feel that pre-thinking is time-consuming, however with pratice you can solve the CR questions under 1 minute.Pre-thinking in CR will definitely help to increase the accuracy and speed . SC section covers all the basics you need to know to conquer GMAT SC. scholaranium is a good collection of most up-to-date GMAT question with detailed explanations.

Overall, I really recommend GMAT verbal course to anyone who is struggling with GMAT Verbal

I was recommended the course by a friend post a debacle attempt (V32 Q49).

The videos are extremely helpful : 1. The videos help understand the concept in terms of what we are trying to achieve as we look at every question 2. Prethinking required 3. How we eliminate all the incorrect options.

The RC videos are the most helpful as they go beyond what the books can teach. I tried Manhattan and Kaplan for my first attempt but this course helps internalise all the concepts. As you practise different questions in the scholaranium (question bank with tonnes of good questions), they become inherent in your application.

Thumbs up to e-GMAT.

I started enrolling for the e-GMAT Live Prep for 1 month and I managed to attain a GMAT score of 610. Although this might not seem much, I studied only for a short period of time. Having said that, I intend to retake the GMAT again in around 3 months time and I will still have e-GMAT to use.

I find that e-GMAT is a very good resource and quite worthwhile for its price. As a native speaker, I found it very useful and easy to understand. However, despite being a native speaker, in school, I was not properly taught what are verbs, nouns, adjectives, etc, but learnt these over time and years from conversations with my friends at a basic level. So, since the e-GMAT Verbal section is good, since it uses a lot of such keywords, I was not able to fully utilise those materials until I slowly learnt the definitions and usage of those technicalities and fundamentals of English.

Over time, one will get used to the GMAT format and how they test you and you will improve greatly the more you invest your time practicing.

Good luck to everyone taking the GMAT!

I took my first GMAT in March 2016 and scored a 660 (Q49, V31). Since I am a non-native speaker, verbal was/is my weakest point. However, I had some changes in my career, so until the end of 2017 I did not start a new GMAT preparation. When I started considering taking the GMAT again, I decided to devise a good preparation plan first with an emphasis on Verbal part. My next GMAT is scheduled for beg of July 2018, and I will share my experience with the test afterwards.
For my 1st preparation which took ~3 months, I used only Manhattan SC, CR, and RC; and OG resources. This time I decided to change my strategy and I was reviewing different courses to understand which one would give me the best possible outcome. In the end, I decided to take E-GMAT VERBAL ONLINE, since it had very good overviews and it also provided an access to GMATCLUB tests. The price was also very reasonable to me.
After having used the course for ~6 months of interrupted preparation (due to job schedule) here is what I can say about the course:
- SC is really brilliant. I firmly believe that this is the single resource you need to master your SC. I became very confident with SC after about 2 months devoting my time only to this part of the course.
- CR and RC are also great. Every type of question is taught in a very structured and logical approach. First, the structure of an argument is explained, so that you can quickly segregate it into premises and conclusion parts. After that, for each type of question you are presented with a right approach to solve such type.
- What makes the course really strong is its structure in presenting the materials. All concepts are followed by quizzes and OG questions, and such approach makes you learn the concept very deeply both in terms of theory and immediate practice. You don’t need to create any plan as to how to approach the materials – you just follow the schedule step-by-step to cover all concepts.
- The course is abundant with very hard questions, especially in CR. I believe it is very useful to solve questions of hard level in order to feel comfortable in the test setting. The Scholaranium section provides a very high quality questions bank.
Overall, if you are searching for a single resource for Verbal part, I can say that e-gmat is a great choice and it worth every dollar of the price.

Wish you all the best!
