I was very weak in the verbal concepts when I started preparing for GMAT. One of my friends suggested about the verbal live course of egmat. I have since then been a fan of it. The course covers indepth details of each verbal concepts and quizzes covering the concepts for each. I really found it useful to get the basics right before starting to practise on the scholaranium. I would recommend this to anyone who has issues with the basics of verbal concepts. I am myself recommending it to all my friends. Wish all the best to the egmat team! Keep up the good work.

I have started using egmat course for more than three months now. I have found it very usefeul especially the scholaranium section. The verbal scholaranium has very diverse set of questions that is very good for all levels of GMAT takers. For me, I was having a lot of trouble with CR section initially. Ability to filter questions by difficulty helped me initially. I was able to track how well I was doing in the different levels of questions. The SC and RC sections are also very useful. I consitently use the EGMAT scholaranium to practise atlease 10-15 questions a day depending on my schedule.

Target Test Prep Flexible Plan Review

Course Target Test Prep Flexible Prep

I took my GMAT for the first time in July 2017 and got a 44Q. After months of studying, using all the Kaplan materials (including the Live Online Prep Course), and taking countless practice tests with better results, I was really disappointed with my quant score.

After decompressing for a few weeks, I decided I might as well give the GMAT another go while the math was fresh in my mind. I didn’t want to wait another year to take the test and have to re-learn everything I had spent months trying to remember. So I decided to take the test again at the end of August.

As I geared up to take the test again, I knew that just using the Kaplan materials again wasn’t going to get me the score I wanted. After extensive internet searching I landed on Target Test Prep. Beyond having good reviews, the Flexible Program was reasonably priced at $99 a month. This was a big plus after spending thousands on the Kaplan program.

Like other reviewers have said, the Dashboard is extremely useful. It shows your strongest and weakest chapters, your accuracy percentage, your average time per question (even divided up between problem solving and data sufficiency), among other things. It is a great quick and easy way to keep track of your progress and see what you still need to improve on.

I began with doing the medium-level practice problems in each of the chapters. That gave me a good indication of what me strengths and weaknesses were. After determining the topic areas I needed to review (e.g., combinations and permutations, probability), I reviewed those specific chapters only. The chapters were detailed and contained a lot of useful tricks to work through problems faster. Especially useful were the video AND written explanations for each practice problem within the chapter. I also liked that the practice problems were divided up by difficulty level and practices sets had accuracy goals depending on difficulty level (i.e., you should aim to get 70% of medium questions right vs. 60% of hard questions right).

Target Test Prep really lived up to its reviews. After using it exclusively for a month, I got my quant score up to 49! I can definitely say that I was more confident about the quant section going into my test. More concretely, I know I would have gotten the first question of the quant section wrong on test day if it weren’t for Target Test Prep.

After paying huge perks for coaching in Crack ISB and attending classes for almost 3 months, i could not improve in my GMAT score. Then when i discussed with one of my friend, he has suggested me to go for E-GMAT, which is good for improving scores in verbal. I got 80 points score improvement with in 2 weeks of E-GMAT course purchase. I always thought we have to remember 100s of rues in grammar. But E-Gmat has thought verbal course in unique manner proper Techniques in understanding English.Generally learn techniques in maths, but it has thought us to learn English in technical manner.

TTP helped me overcome my fear of math

In my first attempt at the GMAT, I had tried several resources but never found anything that really worked for me. Enter Target Test Prep. I had a great initial conversation with Jeff who encouraged me to switch up materials to help enliven the process. I took his advice and signed up for the $1 weeklong trial (which is great for us commitment-phobes). I really liked the clean and sleek interface, the dashboard that tracks and analyzes your progress, and, most importantly, the way TTP broke down the material into super specific chapters.

TTP provided the depth and breadth that I needed but didn’t get from the other materials. There were even times when I encountered problem types that I thought were way too specific and that there was no way this would be tested on the actual GMAT. Definitely not the case. As the Boy Scouts motto goes, “always be prepared.” TTP equips you with ALL the tools and knowledge you need so you’re prepared to tackle every quant problem on the GMAT. Also, TTP is awesome in that you can use the nifty dashboard to focus on very specific problem types. It removes any doubt or confusion on which areas need more focus and attention.

If you struggle with math, use TTP – This is hands down the best resource available if you need to improve your quant skills. The thoroughness of the program is unparalleled. DO ALL THE PROBLEMS. For the first few chapters, I was only doing the easy and medium problems then resorting to OG problems. Don’t do that. By doing all the problems, you’re drilling key concepts into your brain to the point where you’ll be able to easily identify patterns and solve problems without hesitation. Again, do all the TTP problems and then do all the OG problems.

I also signed up for individual tutoring sessions with Jeff, which was a major game changer. Jeff challenges you to really understand the concepts being tested while also showing you ways to outsmart the test makers. I am not a great standardized test and often let my anxiety get the best of me, but Jeff showed me that if you really understand and know the material, then there’s no reason to get anxious. Just trust in yourself and what you’ve learned.

A journey from V28 to V36

I had given my GMAT last year in October and scored an abysmal V-28 which resulted in a poor overall score of 650 despite scoring a whooping Q-50. So for my next attempt the strategy was very clear - to concentrate predominantly on Verbal with some intermittent emphasis on the Quants section.
So the Verbal preparations began in full swing in January 2017. I read the entire Manhattan SC section and solved the enitre SC and CR sections from OG. But somehwere deep inside I was not convinced with the method of approaching the verbal question and was in search of a mentor to guide me . At this juncture a friend suggested me to try out E-GMAT . I wasted no time and immediately browsed through the free concept files on the same day. I was so impressed that I immediately bought the Verbal Online package on the very same day and it turned out to be the best decision with regards to the GMAT preparation. After about a month I upgraded the package to Verbal LIVE in order to access the Live Sessions which again proved to be really helpful. I think I can safely say that the entire 8 point improvement in my verbal score is all due to the E-GMAT course.

I would like to recommend the E-GMAT's Verbal course for the following reasons:

1) SC Course : I think the E-GMAT's 3 step process to solve the SC questions is a game changer. This approach helped me to improve my SC accuracy drastically. Also the concepts files especially that of 'Modifiers' and 'Comparisons' are really helpful.

2) CR - Prethinking Methodolgy : This enabled me to approach the CR questions in a new manner . Approaching the CR questions by this method really helps to improve the accuracy and at the same time to reduce the time spent on each question.

3) Scholaranium Platform : E-GMAT offers a wonderful portal to practise several questions. It helps to access the exact strengths and weaknesses and helps to strategize the study plan accordingly.

Verbal Scholaranium: Best in the market to master SC & CR

I struggled a lot with verbal in my first attempt to gmat whereas my quant was not that bad. I scored 33 in Verbal & 48 in quant. I did so many SC & CR questions but couldnt improve the accuracy and thus couldnt score good in verbal on the real gmat. I havent yet taken the gmat after taking the course but I see substantial improvement in verbal. I wanted to take the exam last month -Sep'16 but due to some uncontrollable situations I couldnt take it yet. I have been away from the studies for last one month and plan to take the exam around 30th Nov.

I found e-gmat's SC & CR very helpful. Before I had to put the pause on studies, I starting hitting 39-40 on verbal in Mock tests and certainly I am much confident to crack the exam now. I always thought of SC as something with lot of rules but e-gmat makes SC so simple. Their strategies of modifiers are very helpful and after finishing the course I realised that there is no need to learn all the ideoms and other rules that actually arent required to score well.

Their CR strategies are also very helpful. Their diagram strategies helps to achieve high accuracy on hard questions. I didnt spend too much time on the e-gmat's RC part. So, I am not very sure about the value it creates in the learning but SC & CR are definitely very helpful, specially for non-native speakers.

The manhatten tests which i used were very un-gmat like when it came to math. The math was unexceptionally hard. For someone scoring a 49-50 in the gmatprep i was scoring between 44 and 47 in manhattan. So a suggestion to them would be to decrease their quant difficulty level because a person getting q50 would waste time on math thinking is actually bad instead of working on verbal. The verbal part of the test was accurate and had some great questions. Also their book on sentence correction was good for developing concepts but should have proper gmat like questions to solve. Also study material were very good

Having planned to give my GMAT few years ago I never had the time to prepare for the same, due to the busy work-life I never seem to have a proper time for a Offline classroom session. When I started preparation, I had no idea on how to approach Verbal sections, and I got haunted by most of the questions in OG. I found even extremely difficult to understand the solutions provided in OG SC&CR and RC. .Then one day I heard reviews about EGMAT through my friend and Instantly bought their Verbal online subscription for 6 month complete package(Verbal) which enhance my skills and develop my ability to solve gmat questions with time restrictions. I could see the difference and was able to comprehend things much easier and in a structured way. I have gained a lot from EGMAT and my verbal scores jumps from late 20 points to 30 points and so on .Highly suggest this course for anyone who is already good with math and looking for a quick revision, or anyone who's starting from scratch. 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" in the passage and read what happens next!" I even used the note making approach during RCs quite regularly .Intially they seem to me time consuming but later on practising questions with that strategies increased my post scores with greater accuracy. Furthermore CR videos focussed on key strategy “Prethinking” in mind before jump to answer choices and increase your chances to choose correct answers within time constraints.

To summarize, I highly recommend this course to everyone for their structured course curriculum, streamline approach and encourage all skeptics to at least try the free lessons offered by e-GMAT and then take a final decision to buy their online course . Last but not the least I would like to say thanks to Rajat Sir,Payal Madam and Shraddha Madam for their marvellous support during my entire preparation and keep my morale boost up

Thanks and All the best.

The verbal content of e-gmat is the most comprehensive content i have ever come across. The systematic approach is very useful . Every lesson has a pre- assessment and post assesment quiz to see your important. They have a huge question bank with all typeS of problems. You can create your own test based on the topics you select and also based on the time. The sentence correction is absolutely amazing especially for non natives. If you are finding problems with verbal just trust e-gmat . Sometimes you are very strong in one topic and very weak in some other topic dividing each topic into subtopics helps you understand your weakness at the core level and work on it and that is what e-gmat does
