I have taken the Magoosh Premium subscription form Nov 2016.
I have not been disappointed.
The lessons are complete and they try to break down each and every concept so that everyone could understand it.
The practice problems can be tailored to suit your preparations.
They provide some (not many) shortcut approach to solving quant. It is a comprehensive course with excellent synthetic question bank. It has a very comprehensive question bank with 500+ questions in both Verbal and Quant. EVERY question comes with a video explanation, which I think is not mirrored anywhere else. Apart from their online course, Magoosh has an array of mobile apps (Android, dunno about IOS) which can make learning fun while commuting from work. Add to that a robust email based support system, you can hardly go wrong.
NOW, The deficits:
1. The verbal course, SC is not as good for a non native speaker as some other courses are. Critical reasoning is average, not comprehensive.
2. Quant does not focus on what gmat focuses on. No special emphasis on number properties, statistics, etc.
3. The questions are not characterized by the scores they reflect. They are grouped into Easy, Medium, Hard, Very Hard.
All in all its a good course to start your preparation with, but somewhere down the line, you will require a booster.
Manhattan Prep comes to search when I have a tight - 3 month timeline to prep for GMAT with a full time job. I got a raffle prize for the online session so I went with David. I am good with math but bad with verbal. David was fun, interactive and clear with his sessions. He also answered my questions with emails after class when I needed. Overall I would say he's really good. Quant probs were really easy for me so I used it simply for practice tests and validate my thinking. Verbal was the challenging part. My advice for online session is that it's only a tool to lead into the door. The only way to improve the score when one's already in 700+ club is to study and reflect, know ones weakness and go fix it.
E-gmat claims to have a huge pool of questions in the scholaranium for SC practice, but I must admit that most of these questions are not upto the mark. Out of some 180 odd questions dedicated to SC, the company claims that around 50-60 are of 700 level. But, these questions are not at all difficult. Once can pass through the entire set by knowing some typical rules like two independent clauses can't be connected by commas. These questions test rules that are rarely tested on the gmat. In my opinion, it is a good place to start if someone needs a good medium level questions to practice on. but in case, you want to up your game, then these would not suffice. Explanations are provided for all the questions, and I must admit that these are very detailed. You would not find such detailed explanations anywhere else. In my opinion, you should opt for the verbal scholoranium if you want to practice on some basic and medium level problems. Overall, I am satisfied with the product, but the product could have been improved considerably. The company could provide some more hard level problems based on concepts that are actually important from a GMAT perspective.
I have been using the course material for my preparation for the exam, which is in the next 20 days.
The course is very comprehensive and detailed. Each section is divided into sub sections and after the basic overview given , related questions have to be solved. This increases the understanding of the topic.
Also, the OG questions have been divided and provided with each section.
Some of the concepts ,such as absolute value, quadratic equation ,prime numbers etc. have been explained very well.
Scholaranium is very much useful in preparing for the exam. The questions in Scholaranium are of high quality and gives a good insight into the questions that one can face on the exam day.
Hi,
I appeared twice for GMAT and got 620 (Q50, V25) both times. Seeing no improvement in my verbal score, I lost my confidence. After analysis, I realized that RC was my major problem. Meanwhile, I came to know about e-GMAT. I purchased the e-GMAT Verbal Online Course to improve my Verbal Score. The course provides good strategies to tackle RC, CR, and SC with lot of examples. RC section provides detailed strategies to read and attempt different type of problems. The presentation of course is very engaging and interesting. Finally, I took my GMAT on 19th January 2016, and scored 690(Q50, V31). The SC section provides a lot of examples with strategies to tackle similar problems.
I was weak in Verbal esp sentence correction. After going through a couple of forums, i decided to take verbal e-gmat course and scholaranium. Egmat's unique approach to solving SC problems simplified the concepts and application process. e-gmat course improved my sentence correction drastically. Similarly, practicing scholaranium helped me improve my CR and RC sections as well. Scholaranium helped me target my weak points and improve it. The level of questions is a touch higher than what is expected in gmat. This helped me to gain my confidence and addressed my timing considerations as well. This is certainly one of the best prep courses available.
REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]
I lacked skills in verbal section in GMAT. Then, my friend introduced me to e-GMAT and I cannot thank him enough for having done that. After a year long break, I felt the need to go over SC and CR concepts as well and the videos provided by e-GMAT made them a whole lot of fun. I would stay up till late night, watching the videos, almost like I'd be watching a sitcom. They were light and helped me brush up my concepts very well. I had read someone's review about making handwritten notes while watching videos and then transferring those onto Evernote at the end of each day as that would not only help you revise, but also create a handy notebook for you to skim through while you're on the move. This tip helped me a lot and I would really recommend it to you all as well. I made my notes nice and colourful and added screenshots and links to them. Going over them later seemed fun because of all the colours I had added. (let me know if you want me to share them with you!)
The RC videos were really helpful as well. e-GMAT provides you a number of key strategies that you must keep in mind while reading through RCs. The one strategy that worked wonders for me was "to get immersed". I would literally tell myself at the beginning of each passage that "Oh! this sounds interesting, lets read what happens next!" I even used the note making approach during RCs quite regularly and was thereby able to get ALL my main point and structure questions right. These strategies seem very time consuming in the beginning, but within no time, you start to internalise them.
As per me, this course is a must to improve the verbal skills in short duration of time. I have a scheduled GMAT exam next month, hope results in practice results the same in the main
The GMAT Verbal school is split into 3 parts - RC / SC / CR. My major aim for getting into this course was SC and I started to prepare for the same using the E-Gmat course. Now, I can see that when it comes to SC, there is a clear improvement. I want to prepare properly for another one month using the same to make sure I prepare to an extent that my score would be unbeaten. Please use E-Gmat especially for verbal preparation as it can improve your score by a great magnitude. This will give you an edge and you will be ready to send your score to the b-school of your choice.
E-gmat's verbal online prep all components are worth considering. The pedagogy used to explain sentence correction has helped me to understand basics and achieve higher accuracy. The RC Section is equally good,detailing key aspects of mastering comprehension. The CR section delves deep into key aspects of critical reasoning and helped improve my reasoning skills . I have improved by 14 points with respect to my last GMAT Iin verbal. Thanks to E-GMAT. I have improved by 80 points from last 630 to current 710 in my GMAT SCORE. I have relied on e-gmat to raise my score and improve my profile. The scholaranium section helps you focus on key weak areas and improve accuracy over the time.
I have tried several methods for studying for the GMAT: went to a GMAT preparation school, went through couple of GMAT books and took a trial of several online courses, but the most interactive platform I found was E-gmat. Actually it was one of my GMAT teachers who recommended me to check this online program.
First I started attending the Webinars and carefully listened to Rajat a couple of times when talking about improving your score. In this webinars you can realize which is the strategy of E-gmat and of course after purchasing the Verbal Online course I can confirm it helped me A LOT!
I had trouble with the CR and the RC, which indeed you can buy separately but i bought the whole Verbal package to get some other topics of RC. I had at that time 2 weeks before the official test so I focused on my main weakness (CR questions). I improved incredibly and now I'm taking the rest of the course (RC & SC) which seems to be very helpful if you need to reinforce other points such as particular topics of SC.
The support given by the E-gmat staff is AMAZING!, always replying very quickly and giving you the best options according to your needs. I consider the previous mentioned the most important reason for getting this course from E-gmat, you won't regret!
All the best to you all..
