I had given my GMAT more than a year ago with score of 620 and at that point of time I felt so low as soon as verbal section came. I had lost all hope. My quant was always strong, and CR,SC and RCs looked like herculean to me. I was quiet week in english . But each time I would come across an RC in the middle of my mocks, I would feel low and lose time and thereby end up rushing through my SC and CR questions as well consequently poor score.

Then,I read so many positive reviews about e-GMAT and I cannot thank e-gmat enough for making an awesome program. After a yearlong break, I felt the need to start over again the videos provided by e-GMAT made the journey a fun . I make handwritten notes while watching videos. I would really recommend it to you all as well. I make my notes nice and add screenshots and links to them.

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.

The other thing that I absolutely loved about the VLP was the scholaranium. It allows you to strenghten the weaker section. The random mix of questions of all difficulty level is also great help. You can create your own mocks without subscribing any redundant material from other sources.

Thank you e-GMAT once again
All the best to you all !!

Hello,
I started my GMAT prep in the month of September 2016. However I took a misstep in my early days of prep by trying to read as many books as possible, from Kaplan premier to MGMAT series. While the books are good content wise, I never gathered focus or gained confidence for the d-day. In fact, my successive insipid scores in Kaplan CATs only validated my belief that books aren't my cup of tea for GMAT and by the mid of Dec, I was looking for alternatives.

I attended one of the e-gmat webinar's and quite liked their approach. The videos were crisp, to the point and the learning was tested immediately via a post module quiz. Comparing the pre and post quiz scores are a great way to boost your self confidence. I immediately signed up for their SC course as that was my weakest link.

For a non-native english speaker for me, the course structure was ideal. The course starts with the foundation topics, meaning the structure of a sentence, the components i.e phrases, clauses, verbs etc which clears up any misconceptions you have had all along. The modules dealing with other GMAT topics such as pronouns, verb-ing, verb-ed, comparisions, idioms are life-savers. In fact my scores in SC showed consistent uptrend in mocks during and after the SC course. In my GmatClub test sessions, my SC success rate went from 60-70's to mid 90's consistently. And more importantly, it removed the fear that I harbored about SC so much that I was actually looking forward to SC's

All in all, I would gladly recommend e-gmat SC course to anyone looking for SC coaching. I couldn't have scored 730(v40, q49) without it.

Scott at Target Test Prep has done a phenomenal job putting together the quantitative curriculum. I have worked with many other resources from larger test prep companies but none of them have matched the condensed yet extremely effective approach that TTP uses in their approach. In a few days time you will cover what other companies cover in weeks. They also have a very good focus on the type of questions that will actually show up on the GMAT versus just teaching you everything and hoping luck is on your side.

I also had tutoring sessions with Jeff, he was extremely helpful and supportive throughout the entire process. I could not ask for a better tutor and program


Jeff and TTP were critical in me scoring a 50Q on the GMAT. THANKS SO MUCH!

I took the E-gmat course after looking at a number of debriefs , stressing the need for E-gmat to help ace verbal. Being a non native speaker , i was happy that i found something that would help me cross the 700 barrier

Pros -

Covers SC , CR , RC , IR i.e 2 sections out of 4 i.e QA , VA , IR , AWA

lucid explanations

Cons -

Expensive ( better to share costs ) i feel at that price ,it could have offered a lot more in terms of no of questions
Egmat claims to have 3500 questions but the question bank has around 800 questions RC , CR , SC combined .

A lot of questions like find the noun , verb in the sentence etc are present but they are not gmat like , i mean they do help one prepare for Verbal section but claiming to have 3500 questions seems more of a marketing gimmick

I strongly believe every thing has 2 sides to it and so does this course. Studying this alone wont land you a 40+ in verbal , some techniques are only suitable for certain type of questions is what i feel. E-gmat definitely helps in preparation.

Since the course has helped me i would recommend it to people as a last resort , there is manhattan SC , Aristotle SC clubbed with various SC posts on the gmat club , all these resources utilised efficiently would give the same result as Egmat


Scholarium is easy to use but cannot switch between course and scholarium easily . I need to reopen the browser to access videos , this was an issue at times for me

Questions - 3/5
Platform - 3/5
Concepts 4-5

Overall experience - 3.5/5 but no 4
hence rating it 3/5

it's a good course but i am sure the benefits can be effectively reached in other ways as well

I can't recommend Magoosh highly enough. I was extremely nervous about the GMAT after having barely touched math since high school. I was starting from scratch. The lessons were invaluable in explaining the concepts in a clear manner. The hundreds of practice problems are amazing for letting you practice under time pressure while adjusting your difficulty or focusing on specific problem types. Every problem has a video and text solution and allows you to take leave notes for yourself when you review later. I didn't really need help with the verbal but still managed to pick up some good tricks help me improve my CR scores.

After 5 months of prep, I finally took the GMAT and did much better than expected with a 740. I ended up waitlisted and decided to retake it to improve my quant score. I paid for another round of Magoosh premium and focused solely on the problems (along with the GMAT Official Guide and the Manhattan Advanced Supplement). After 5 weeks of studying, I bumped my quant score another 3 points.

For the price it really can't be beat. One downside - their iOS apps are pretty weak. The website is still fairly functional on mobile but not the greatest whenever you have longer text passages. The scrolling gets a bit screwy. Not a big enough deal to make a difference in my opinion.

First of all, verbal itself is so hard to crack in the Gmat. Secondly, being a non-native, I felt it even harder to crack. I tried a couple of books before I even start studying the E-gmat, but none of those books were helping me to reach the score that I wanted to. In fact, not even half way there to my target score. My target score is 720. My friend happened to recommend me to E-gmat. Then, I started researching a little bit about it. All the reviews were either 5 or 4 with the E-gmat. I was so excited that there is an institution that tailored the course exactly for my needs that I did not even bother to attend a demo, and I paid for the full subscription for Verbal Live (E-gmat’s premium subscription).
The course usually has video sessions that you can watch them whenever you want to. That’s the main and nice thing about it. After each video session(Sub-category) is followed with a few examples to make sure that you learned it right. Not only that, once you covered with the whole category, you will have multiple test to take and see the scale right there, and you will all levels of questions. I realized that I had learnt nothing when I started my preparation with the two books initially. I got to tell you, I hardly was able to get 50% questions right before e-gmat. After e-gmat, I’m now able to make 70% of the questions right and sometimes even 80%. It’s worth every penny. Every week, they have a couple of video sessions that are thought by live instructors for every section. I really enjoyed studying with the e-gmat material and solving questions from Scholoranium. That’s another great tool. The question quslity is top-notch. The instructors assist you with any questions that you may have on any subject matter. I can’t recommend e-gmat enough. E-gmat is the go-to place for all your Verbal GMAT needs.

I had scored 670 in my first GMAT attempt. Verbal score was a disappointing V32. Since I was already in my tempo of preparation, I thought I would attempt the GMAT again in the next 1 month. This time I decided to go ahead with e-GMAT's verbal live prep course as I had heard a lot of positive things about the same. Having said that, I was certain of one thing- content wise I was ready, I needed to fine-tune my approach in Verbal and do the questions the right way. Thats where e-GMAT turned out to be very useful. Considering the fact that I am a non-native speaker, after going through the e-GMAT videos, I started approaching CR and SC in a structured manner. Every question type in CR was to be approached in a specific manner which I realized after going through the content. The best part is that the justification for each question is explained very systematically. Finally, I ended up with a 50 point improvement, totally due to verbal as my quantitative section score was the same in both my attempts.

I was preparing for GMAT for a while now but nothing scared me more than Sentence Correction. I tried learning from different sources but nothing much helped. So after going through the reviews of E-Gmat in different forums, I thought of giving it a try.

Believe me, there is not a better material than E-Gmat verbal videos. They are short, crisp, and to the point. After each lesson, there will be quiz where one may check their understanding of a particular lesson. The best thing about this is that you may post your queries on forum regarding the questions or any particular concept. Every question may be analyzed differently by different students and this is where this works beautifully. You may post your doubts even after reviewing the solution as you may had analyzed it differently and your queries will be answered by experts.

The second best thing about it is the videos structure. The videos are short, approximately around 15 mins on average. This really helps working guys like me who cannot devote longer hours due to tight work schedule. They have followed this strategy across the whole course from maths to verbal.

Overall this course is pretty much balanced.This course is best for anyone who wishes to excel in SC. . The Scholarinium will greatly help u to analyze your mistakes and to improve your efficiency.

Go for it...

In my 1st attempt I had scored a Q49, and in 2nd attempt Q47. The time lag between 1st and 2nd attempt was very long. Moreover, I didn't focus much on quant. But during my 3rd attempt, in which I scored Q50, I focused a lot on the e-gmat Quant course. The concept files have some very good fundamentals, which I lacked a lot.
The live sessions have very focused set of questions. They specifically test the required areas. Initially I took 3-4 minutes to solve a question of live session. As I focused more on the fundamentals, my accuracy and my pace increased to the optimum level.
The Scholaranium platform of e-gmat has even better questions. At Very Hard level the questions really get very competitive. The skill data set of the Scholaranium provides good graphic displays that allow students to track their performance. That approach worked very good for me. Every green mark in the skill data set was a hurray, and every red mark was an alert to focus more on that section.
Going step by step with the course should help students to score desired score in quant section.

I struggle with standardized exams, so I purchased Magoosh to help me out. I went up in the math 10 points in 1.5 months from the first time I took the GMAT which was a significant increase. Not having a math class in almost 4 years, I forgot a lot of the topics that were tested on the GMAT. The short videos provided really helped my brush-up on my math. They provide many questions on every topic you will see on the actual exam. Magoosh is also one of the only tutoring sites I looked into that was very affordable. I highly recommended!
