- [ ] I gave my first GMAT exam without any coaching or without enrolling into any course and had a low score of 530 Q42 V20 and the first thing that came to my mind was I need to improve my verbal skills so after reading a lot of reviews on GMAT Club and attending the first free webinar for CR from egmat I decided to give it a try and enrolled for the Verbal Online course.The best thing about this course is step wise approach to explain things. The videos require a lot of time but it was worth it as it helped me understand the every detail also a step wise approach to solve the questions.I liked the videos for both SC and CR and after going through all the courses my accuracy for SC improved from 45 to 80%. Another feature of this that I liked was the scholaranium wherein I could practice and improve my performance.
Overall, I think Magoosh was the turning point in my studies. It was amazing to have over 1000 problems at my fingertips anywhere I went. On top of that, they were sortable by type and difficulty. If I wanted to practice hard probability problems, I could set up a session of exclusively that. This was extremely helpful towards the end of my studying when I knew my weaknesses and wanted to focus on just a few things.
Another great part is that the problems are pretty similar to the GMAT. The verbal was better (but less difficult) than the Veritas bank I also used, and the video explanations on ALL problems are worth their weight in gold. It's incredible that you can get that much information for so little money.
As long as you can stay motivated, Magoosh offers far more value than any other course out there. There are lessons covering the most basic topics, and video solutions to every problem on the site ranging from beginner to advanced. For less than $200, its an absolute steal and I highly recommend it.
E-GMAT is the best online course that I have come across. Those who need to clearly understand the math concepts then E-GMAT is the course for you undoubtedly. The concepts covered have immensely helped in my preparation.
The best thing is the sample questions that are given after each concept to firm up your learning and the volume of questions in Scholaranium. The level of question range from easy to hard giving you the flexibility of choosing the difficulty level using custom quiz, which I have used the most in Scholaranium to track my improvement.
Another best thing about E-GMAT is the feedback that you get from the instructors, who have been very quick in responding to every query and their responses have been very detail too.
My quant accuracy and ability have improved since I started using E-GMAT course and I have my actual exam in 4 weeks time, but I want to give this feedback on the course so that it might help those who are still wandering about the right course to choose to ace the verbal.
Definitely I recommend to those who are looking for a self paced course with good question bank to practice.
Thanks!
Target Test Prep's product is all you need for GMAT Quant prep. I had used a test prep course from one of the "big" guys. After finishing the course, I scored a 550 on the real thing. I felt extremely disheartened, so I started doing research on the GMAT forums for better products/platforms and came across TTP. After reading a lot of great reviews of TTP, I ended up signing up for TTP's $1 introductory price to see what the hype was all about. I was immediately blown away by the platform. Once you sign up, you can take a diagnostic test, which is based on the score range you are targeting. After the diagnostic has been completed, you can chat with Jeff about which study plan would be best for you. Most of the questions have video explanations and the analytics help you track which question types you continually get wrong and/or why you continue to get them wrong. If you can master the hard questions on the TTP platform, you shouldn't have trouble with the GMAT Quant section. I did as many TTP questions as I could and ended up improving my quant score from 37 to 45. I know that a 45 isn't in the 90th percentile but given my starting point, I am happy with how much I improved and I know that it wouldn't have been possible without TTP.
The guys at TTP are extremely responsive and Scott deserves a special shout out for all the help. Scott asked me to push harder when I didn't think I could. Throughout the process he was available for any queries that ranged from questions about the TTP platform to test day anxiety.
If you dedicate the time and energy to go through the study plan that TTP has laid out, you WILL see an improvement. If you are reading this review as you are doing research on which platform to sign up for, look no further and sign up for TTP today. There isn't a better product out there for GMAT Quant. Good luck!
The manhattan prep self-study tool kit is an excellent resource for quantitative aptitude. It is not all that great for verbal, in my opinion.
It includes the following - You get 12 Manhattan GMAT Books + 3 Official Guides
- Includes a one-on-one session with a GMAT instructor
- Includes GMAT Navigator tool
- 5 Video lessons from GMAT Interact
- 6 Manhattan GMAT CATs + online quizzes
- 6-month access to GMAT Club Tests is included, a $250 value
The five video lessons were really helpful. Also, the 6 tests are quite high in rigor. It may not replicate the exact GMAT level but will give you a fair estimate on where you stand.
I feel that their philosophy of being prudently priced has been fulfilled in their execution. They offer useful content. Mike (One of the main Guides) is amazing. Mark my words. The Math section videos are a must watch. view some of them 3 times. and the high level math should be reviewed before the test ass it has some excellent 'Big Ideas" which got me through some high level quant problems in seconds as I knew information that took the fun out of the question. The verbal is good I would watch the videos twice. However I had gone through Powerscore Cr bile so critical reasoning was set. In case of sentence correction I suggest use Magoosh don't waste time on an ebook like MAnhatan prep unless ur taking it slow. Magoosh has it all for SC and supplement Magoosh SC with challenging questions and resources of leading companies such as veritas which offers free tests. RC I did not study too much as I am an avid reader. Overall Math Videos are a must and the quality of questions for practice is amazing- They have a smalller number of questions - around 800 and 2 practice tests. The questions are designed to test some trick or logical concept application so that no question is useless. I think if you Review your prep with Magoosh you will find it tested properly. I gave both practice tests and 1 MG prep , 1 GMAT prep. The videos on essay (AWA) are good and other than OG I think Magooah is a very calm and competent guru. And worth the money (120 - discounts) and access to gmatclub tests and quizzes. I think do OG study from Magoosh and review With it.
It seemed better than Math revolution and I had recommendations for magoosh.
Hi All,
I had the subscription for both GMAT online and GMAT verbal live prep programs offered by e-gmat.
The most important thing I liked was their course content ,which has been split into little chunks. This makes it very easy to focus on the weak areas and learn the concepts thoroughly. They also have a pre-assessment and a post assessment quizzes before/after each lecture that helps you gauge your existing and improved skill level.
The responses to various posts both in the forum is quite impressive. In many cases , I used to post content in order to check my understanding . So it kind of gives a feeling like you're in a classroom program.
The scholaranium is a tool that I used most extensively. This has helped a lot in checking your current ability and fixing the same. They have certain really tough questions which test your core concepts in a very different way. This is particularly helpful for people who would want tough questions to practice so that they are ready to face them when the actual GMAT test throws one.
They have included a lot of grammatical nuances that are rarely tested in GMAT . This for sure helps you if you're shooting for V40+.
I have certainly improved a lot from my existing skill level as the course made me look at the approach in a new light.
E-gmat is the best verbal course for non-natives. The content makers have done a great job in simplifying the verbal section and have actually made it interesting. Before starting my GMAT preparation (at the cost of sounding boastful), I thought I had strong verbal skills so I should be OK in this section. However this was proven wrong immediately when I took my first test. Shattered with my score, I decided to sign-up for e-gmat after reading all the reviews and my score started increasing pretty much after the first few SC videos. Their scholariam is also a great tool to test your level periodically and make tweaks in your preparation as needed.
The SC and RC section go into in-depth anaylsis for each questions and help is in clearing your basic doubts.
The verbal section is extremely comprehensive and you can individually focus on your weak areas through the use of scholariam to improve your score.
REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]
I took my first GMAT on March 15th 2017 .I did not take any coaching help and only relied on the Manhattan GMAP prep books and official guides and some free online stuff. I scored a score of 590 (Q 47 and V 24 and IR 2) .I realized that I have considerable concept gaps in verbal and that I cannot simply overcome them by studying Manhatten Prep books and Office guides. So I started looking for Online / Live session courses and reviewed them on Gmat Club.I trusted Gmat club reviews simply because there were verified reviews and I found that E-Gmat stands out as a clear winner in the Verbal online segment courses not only with the maximum number of reviews but also reviews from successful native Indian speakers whom have done well on the Gmat.
So selected the E-Gmat course and tried to complete it from beginning to end. I was pleasantly surprised to find how each and every tops have been framed and different pitfalls and common tested errors for that topic has been discussed at length. Each and every chapter is followed up with a concept check with real GMAT like problem. Each such exercise helped me to rectify the grey areas that I had in those topics and move on.
The Verbal scholarium is such a meticulously planned exercise tool that gives you 730+ Gmat like questions that you can use to practice either to develop your accuracy or your sense of timing , a factor that is crucial and extremely handy in actual GMAT test.
Although I am confident that the sentence correction module of EGMAT verbal course is truly the best one that is available in the market and prepares you holistically towards a better verbal score, CR section is also elaborate and there are over 230 gmat like practice question in the verbal scholarium that is sufficient to elevate your CR accuracy.
Only thing that might be slightly made more relevant is the approach one needs to take for the RCs as sometimes I have felt that the approach is lengthy.
Overall I would say that it is fantastic product and provides much more value than it is priced.If it is followed holistically , it is bound to improve your GMAT verbal score .
I went with the egmat course. I went through the SC and CR courses of egmat, and they were, no doubt, a great stepping-stone to a better understanding of the subtle concepts in SC, and the pre-thinking way in CR.The questions in scholaranium are very good.What worked for me in SC was that I understood the meaning of the sentence in question and always questioned myself about the modifiers used in that sentence.For CR, the pre-thinking, as obvious as it sounds, tremendously helped me.
In summary, e-gmat verbal online is a great course for non-native english speakers
