I was looking for a course that could help me structure my approach towards verbal, especially sentence correction. After going through one of the blogs by E-GMAT on the gmatclub forum( I think it was on modifiers), I felt that it was exactly what I was looking for, a well organized and step-by-step approach to sentence correction which appealed to my mathematical mind ( Yes. I am an Indian Engineer).
The course covers all the basic concepts and helps to build a strong methodology which can help you shorten the time spent/question and improve accuracy.
You also get multiple tests on two different portals(25Q and 9V on GMATclub and 5 complete tests on 800score), which helps you gauge your progress more accurately.

Thanks to the course I improved my score from 710(Q50 V34) to 750(Q51 V40)

Totally recommended!!!!

PS- There are not many sample questions.So keep practicing on GMATclub forums there is sufficient material available here. The best approach would be to strengthen theory on E-GMAT and put it to test on gmatclub.

e-GMAT's verbal online course is an excellent resource for anyone who aspires to solidify his/her understanding of the GMAT's verbal section. What sets it apart is the depth of the content offered in the course. It's extensive and meticulously prepared.

My primary motivation to take up this course was to reinforce my foundations in sentence correction as that was the one part where I was struggling with the most. e-GMAT's verbal online course was instrumental in driving the point that a correct sentence should have only one correct meaning and that there should be no scope for ambiguity. Although I was familiar with this concept, the tutorials and questions provided in scholaranium helped me bring further clarity in an exam setting. The improvement I noticed in sentence correction also helped me improve Critical Reasoning.

In a nutshell, if you are a non-native English speaker and are struggling with fundamentals, this course is a life saver. They have provided an excellent collection of questions to hone your skills. The one area where I felt e-GMAT can improve is to provide quicker feedback on scholaranium although I can imagine this is an uphill task due to the popularity of the course.

To give a little bit background, I am a Software Engineer work in an internet company. I scored 760 in my first attempt of GMAT and are applying for a professional part-time MBA program. I wanted to thank eGMAT for this decent score and thus decided to write this testimonial.

Since I have to work during workdays and play with kids before bed time, I didn't have much time to prepare for the exam during the usual days and had to spend most of my time on preparing during the Christmas and new year holiday period. I came to e-GMAT courses first through their free sessions and I found that their approaches were very helpful for me to correctly analyze the questions and being confident about my choices. Thus, I decided to buy the online courses for both quant and verbal sections.

I did carefully go through the basic concepts and made some practices on e-gmat.com, although I didn't have time to go through every video and practice provided by the courses. For Critical Reasoning, the proposed three steps are quite helpful for both improving the accuracy and saving time: reading the question, pre-thinking possible answer, comparing the options. For Sentence Correction, it was suggested to spend more time on reading the original sentence and finding possible errors than on comparing options, which I agree is more effective and effecient than spending more time on directly comparing options.

Overall, I think the e-gmat course worths the money and time I spent, and it helped me a lot on getting a decent score in my first attempt.

I started my GMAT journey in September. Quickly reviewing some reviews online, I decided to purchase the Manhattan books. After a few weeks of studying, I thought the books were a little boring to read and didn’t have much structure to my study plan. I knew I had to find a better game plan if I wanted to be successful in the test. I decided to turn to people in my network who had taken the GMAT. A friend, who is currently at HBS and had struggled with the quant portion of the test, recommended Target Test Prep to me.
I signed up for the 5 day trial and immediately loved the platform. The course is very interactive, comprehensive and provides a detailed study plan. I was able to drill down on concepts I was struggling with and move faster on what I understood well. It was a perfect way to structure my study time for the quant portion of the exam. After completing all the lessons, I scheduled an exam date at the beginning of December and scored a Q44. I was very disappointed as I knew I could do a lot better in the quant section. I decided to reach out to Jeff and scheduled some tutoring sessions. As I was pressed for time and wanted to meet the R2 deadlines, I was ready to do anything to improve. I scheduled a few sessions with Jeff and in just a few hours he was able to assess some of my key weaknesses and provide me with insightful tips on how to improve my test taking strategy. I wrote the exam 20 days later and improved my score to a 710, Q47 (which was sufficient for most of my target schools). I am confident that if I had continued to do a few more hours with Jeff, I could of have increased my quant score even higher. The online platform gave me a solid base and understanding of the concepts, but Jeff was able to bring me to the next level. He was also extremely supportive, texting me to ask how my practice was going. My only regret is to not have started the one on one tutoring sessions earlier!

I scored a 740 on the GMAT with only three weeks of studying, due primarily to my usage of Target Test Prep's Flex Plan to target quantitative. I only had a few weeks to study and I knew that my quantitative skills would be my weakest area, so I scoured the internet and my personal network for recommendations on the most effect way to boost my quantitative score. One of my good friends who scored a 750 on her GMAT recommended Target Test Prep, and I would highly recommend this material to anyone who needs to review quantitative in preparation for the exam.

Target Test Prep Flex Plan has roughly twenty chapters covering all different areas of the quantitative section, from coordinate geometry to functions & sequences to probability to rate / work problems. Target Test Prep covered every type of question that I ever saw in any GMAC-published practice material. Along with each chapter is included easy, medium and hard tests that one can take to test the concepts that were just learned. It was an extremely effective way to target my weakest area, and I wouldn't have done as well as I did without it.

For those GMAT takers that know they are weak quantitatively, this is one of the most cost-effective and high-quality products on the market to address geometry, arithmetic and algebra. Flex Prep is only $99 a month, and it was extremely worth it for me! :)

Very comprehensive Sentence Correction course for verbal. This was my weakest section and I went for EGMAT because there SC section is incomparable. I liked the approach mentioned to target this section.It has enough practice questions and also prepares well for time management. Apart from SC, I took their free webinars. One should try their SC free webinar. It gives a good enough idea of the methodology stated in course. I dont know if they still provide SC course independently but at 79$ it was a good deal compared to other courses available in the market. Thank you E-GMAT team.

I took my first attempt at GMAT in 2014 and scored Q39 & V31. Even though I was hitting around Q45 and V36 in my mocks, it was a drastic drop in performance and score. I prepared on my own primarily using Manhattan books for both Quant and Verbal.
Fast forward to Nov 2017 and I started my GMAT preparations once again. But this time I was equipped with a different set of tools. I opted for E-GMAT (out of 3 other companies) based on the reviews. I bought the Complete LIVE Prep and instantly knew that I made the right choice. Each topic has a pre-quiz, detailed content, post -quiz, application quiz and a practice quiz in that order. This is followed by a list of OG questions on the same topic for additional practice. So it makes sure we are completely thorough by the time we move on to the next topic.
The interactive course modules have been laid out well and they are short and crisp (about 20-30 min long). There have been instances where I have taken those modules during my office hours. They are supported on my iPad and it made my learning experience much more easier. The only problem that I found here was that the e-learning modules did not run in Chrome/Safari and it works only with Puffin browser.
Talking about the course content, Quant covers all the required topics well with clear-cut explanations. I dont think even the Manhattan books give you a good explanation on Probability & Combinations as good as e-GMAT. I just enjoyed that bit. And regarding verbal, I don't think e-GMAT needs any more reviews talking about how effective it is.
The strategies employed to tackle CR & SC works wonders for me. At first, i used to deviate from the process when solving practice problems. And when I made sure I stick to the process no matter what, I took about 5 min for each question. Now I have reduced it to about 2.5- 3.5 min and I am still working on it.
All I am focusing on now is practice. I can already see the improvement jump in my scores from Q39 to Q48-49 and V31 to V38 -39 in my mocks. I am aiming for a Q50 and V40 and I am overly confident that I can hit them with more practice. This is where Scholaranium comes in handy. It has about 1000 questions in Quant and 900 questions in Verbal. Scholaranium is where you can cement the knowledge gained through e-learning modules. In addition to this, I had the option of Live sessions but since I was a bit occupied on weekends with family chores, I was able to give only one session. However, I do have access to recordings of those live sessions and I randomly play them through on my lazy days.
e-GMAT gives you a wealth of tools to tackle the GMAT.
If you are serious on GMAT to break the 700 and if you are ready to put in the effort and sacrifice, then I can guarantee that e-GMAT is all you need!!

I have given two attempts of Gmat and cant score more than V19 And V20 on both occasion in the verbal section though my Quant score was Q47 .For the !st time i used MGMAT verbal books but the concept to learn in MGMAT book one need to require a prior concept of basics in which i was lacking.Then i searched on gmat club about the courses and the material i came to know about the egmat.After checking the free version of verbal i ordered the Verbal on line course
Systematic Approach: EGMAT has a systematic approach to teach the concepts, to provide basic application question and then to provide advance practice question. This helped to learn and improve my accuracy. The audio-visual concept files also let me remember the important theories.
Also, the methodology with regards to understanding a CR question is far superior to that followed in various guides,

The Magoosh GMAT Premium is the best course to build your basics.
Especially the Quant section helps you build the basics with the Video explanations instead of the dry written explanations. It is the most efficient Quant Prep courses available on Earth. I have tried almost 5 courses. Highly recommended to reach Q49 quickly. >Q49 needs proper timing and strategy that comes from giving a lot of Official Mocks and analysing them extensively.
Magoosh support team replies to your queries over the email that a lot of other courses don't.

Best way is to start building concepts with Magoosh Prep course and then move to only official material.

Amazing -- I could not recommend this place more. Stephanie Moyerman was incredibly and I fully credit her with getting me to an awesome score. Stephanie was incredibly attentive and knew how to pace the class so that no one was left behind or getting bored / feeling like they weren't be challenged. We had a wide range of skill levels in our class, but everyone felt like they get the attention and "challenge" that they needed. Even though it was a "Live Online" class, Stephanie made herself available outside of the classroom to answer any questions / provide a morale boost. Thanks to Stephanie and MP, I received a full ride to my dream school!
