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!

I stumbled upon, e-gmat through its one of the seminars. I took its Rc webinar, and points specified in it, itself helped me take my Rc accuracy from 72 to 88%. With such a dramatic improvement I started taking its webinars on regular basis, including Quant. Realized that if just 30 min webinar can improve my performance what would the entire course would do?! I enrolled for the course and started as per the study plan provided, not only it's effective I also had a lot of fun going through this learning phase. Due to my last minute health issues and personal problems, i couldn't practice well the last month. I would definitely recommend all to take this course.

I stumbled across this program really late in the study process. I hadn't been studying and had scheduled the exam for 2 weeks from the date I signed up. Knowing that Math would be my weakest point, I needed a rigorous program that would allow me to both concentrate on specific areas of weakness, provide timely feedback, and build on my foundation. In short I was in an impossible situation, trying to cram and relearn math in short order.

The program was fantastic in helping me achieve my goal, boosting my Quant score by 20 points in less than a week of dedicated study. I highly recommend starting the program with enough time to complete the course start to finish, as I think I would have easily added another 30 points.

The flexible pricing and the depth of information is another major benefit of this; given the intensive and time consuming demands of my job, I knew I would not be able to complete a standard course, but I think this program would be even better for someone who is really focused on quant!

I bought Magoosh Premium subscription during the start of my preparation for GMAT as it was one of the cheapest options available in the GMAT test prep space. Magoosh can be a very good starting point as it really helps in building the basic during the initial stages of the prep. Now let me dive into the individual questions and provide a point of view on it.

Verbal section of Magoosh is not upto the mark specifically for the non-natives, cant really judge the course from the point of view of Natives. I would suggest non-natives to skip their verbal section.

Quants section is a great place to brush up your basic and practise low difficult questions. They have explained basic question of the foundation level in quite detail. It is one of the test perp company which comes very close to the GMAT level difficulty in Quants. But the platform lacks adequate amount of difficult questions. For quants one should supplement magoosh with gmatclub test and gmat perp question.

To give you bit of a background I am a Chemical Engineer and work in production department of a fertilizer producing company. I have scored 750 in my first attempt of GMAT and have converted ISB Hyderabad. I wanted to thank eGMAT for this decent score and thus palnned to write this testimonial.

Since I am a chemical engineer the main problem which I encountered during my preparation was that I work in shifts with Wednesday as my weekly off. I didn't have so called weekends at my disposal. Moreover after each Wednesday my work timings change from 6 AM to 2 PM or 2 PM to 10 PM or 10 PM to 6 AM on a rotational basis. To put in simple terms there is a weekly change in my work timings so I had to factor in these constraints while preparing for GMAT.

I enrolled for eGMAT on February 28th and gave my exam on June 21. eGMAT being an online course gave me the flexibility which I wanted and was my best bet in that scenario. I chose eGMAT on recommendation of one of my close friend.

Sentence correction(SC) was my weakest section and that's where I think there is nothing better than eGMAT modules. They have done such an extensive research on this topic for each slides of sentence correction. I prepared my personal notes for each slides for future reference. I did not mug up each and every rule which they provide to be frank but I used to just skim through my notes on a weekly basis and also just before attempting a mock. This in my opinion ingrained those rules in my subconscious and I can say this with conviction because my accuracy with SC gradually increased.


For Critical Reasoning (CR) section initially going through the strategies stated by eGMAT was absolutely necessary for me. The segregation which eGMAT has done on the basis of question type is commendable for CR section and in turn it familiarised me with the CR section. But for CR section my opinion is once you get familiarised with the type of questions that are asked, the best way to improve it is through practice where the Scholaranium designed by eGMAT comes into picture. It is a test taking platform where one can customise and decide the amount of questions, the topics one wants to attempt and the time frame in which one wants to attempt it.

Coming to the Reading Comprehension (RC) part, along with eGMAT modules reading books is essential. Though eGMAT modules can help you get familiarised with this section but they can do as much since this section requires alot of patience with gradual improvement and no magic wand can give you sudden grip on it. In my opinion best way out in RC section is constant reading and then practice.

For Integrated Reasoning (IR) section I just read eGMAT material two weeks before the test. Though I could not score well in IR in the actual exam but my score does not reflect the value of the modules of eGMAT since I used to score 7 and above in my mocks and there was strategical error on my part during the exam which lead to just 4 in the actual test.

In short I can say eGMAT's Verbal online program is a well though out and researched one and the modules especially SC ones are Gold Dust. I highly recommend this course to the aspirants.

So Far it's the best experience for me.

The quant part has the best questions that you will find anywhere. And it's not just the questions themselves, the explanations provided also help you uncover many shortcuts and help strengthen your core concepts. Admittedly, I found them to be a little harder than the GMAT quant questions, but that should help you be better prepared for the final test. And also, the live prep session very really useful cause they emphasize on questions which matters the most.

The focus is on concept :)
Before taking the course my score was Q39-Q40 whereas now I have improved my score to Q48-Q49.

Highly Recommended.

Hi , I recently scored a Q 49 and this was a improvement of 4 points from my previous attempt of Q45. I owe this improvement entirely to e Gmat quant online course. The platform is designed to teach you the courses in small bites and there are associated practice exercises to test your learning. Even though quant in GMAT is high school level but one need an air tight logic and grasp of concepts to not to make silly errors in test. This course of e GMAT does a good job by dwelling deep into basics as well as keeping the learning very interactive. I highly recommend the course if you are targeting Q49 and above.
