Magoosh is premium material at a very reasonable price. I was able to get up 80 points. Especially as a non-native speaker, I gained a lot from the verbal section. The practice test wasn't the best but is pretty solid and that's the only area where I'd say Magoosh can do much better. In summary, I am not sure what my preparation would have looked like and what my score card would have without Magoosh. Also, the study plans were pretty awesome. Magoosh personally helped me pick and follow the 3 month verbal study plan based on my history with the test.

Verbal Live Prep is one of the best tools available in the market for verbal preparation. Though, primarily it is designed for Non Native speakers but i believe it can be equally good even for the Native Speakers. GMAT is not a test of English but a test of reasoning. Verbal Live Prep course hits out in the very right directions. Neeti Sohal, in particular, was fabulastic with Critical Reasoning. I just loved the way she paced the course and was right on target for her entire sessions. For anyone looking for a good verbal score, I would highly recommend the verbal online or verbal live prep by eGMAT. 5/5 for the Verbal Live Prep :) and 5/5 for Neeti Sohal for her excellent teaching skills.

Magoosh's GMAT prep software is quite easy to use. The modules are very comprehensive and well laid out. The only problem with Magoosh is that the verbal section goes into in depth detail of grammar and the use of tenses etc. when you actually don't need that deep a level of understanding. It's a great starter to the GMAT prep journey but I wouldn't recommend it to push you into the deeper end of 700's. Use Magoosh in your early stages of preparation to familiarize with the various concepts of Math that are covered under GMAT and the types of grammar covered under the verbal section of GMAT.

I took the 9 week virtual Manhattan Prep GMAT Course. I knew that I needed the course to hold me accountable to my studying goals while working long hours at my job. The flexibility of a virtual course was also important to me. Mark was a fantastic instructor – he worked through practice problems by not only teaching us the fundamental techniques, but also discussing how the GMAT might distort similar problems. He made the courses very interactive – we never went more than 30 minutes without doing problem sets or other interactive activities during the sessions. We also spent time in every session talking about educated guessing strategies, which I could not have fully understood out of a book. Perhaps most importantly, he spend time clarifying a GMAT correct answer from our second choice answers. The fundamentals can come through practicing with the materials, but the ability to differentiate a “good” answer from the “right” answer comes a lot easier when you have a strong instructor who can help explain the difference. Highly recommend both Mark and Manhattan Prep!

The course content of e-gmat live prep is very detailed and comprehensive. Trust me you don't need anything else to ace verbal, provided you follow up the processes and the course structure religiously. I just used the course material, OG and Gmat prep tests for my preparations, nothing else. The meaning analysis in SC, Prethinking in CR and "how to do active reading" in RC will help tremendously. Their explanation of OG questions is very thorough and detailed. Apart from that, the scholaranium tool is extremely helpful for practice. It provides detailed analysis of all solutions and gives an insight into one's weaknesses in various areas. Their support staff and the tutors are extremely responsive and knowledgeable. The live sessions, which happen during weekends are awesome. The class videos and webinar sessions are very good in audio and video quality.

I had been struggling with the GMAT prep for a long time now. First time I took my GMAT was in 2012 when I scored 650. Did great on Quant, but was miserable on Verbal. While answering the questions I was not really sure about any question if I answered correctly or not. During my first round, I started with classroom program at Princeton, and I used several sources to study (Princeton, MGMAT, Kaplan). Although these courses made me familiar with the type of questions, and the type of wrong answers. My approach to solving verbal question was still very basic - Read all the options and make sense which eventually didn't work so well.
After that I moved to States, and didn't study for couple years. Couple months back I started studying again for GMAT. I did my research and was looking for something which will specially focus on non-Natives as the familiarity and the way we look at Verbal question is way different than Natives.

I came across eGMAT course which was being marketed for the best course for non-natives. I decided to give it a shot and completed the free stuff eGMAT offers in the course and was quite impressed. I attended the free Live session on Strategy and SC eGMAT hosts every other weekend. This was the first time in the SC free webinar, I used the 3 step process being taught by Priya to solve a few questions. Phenomenal, for the first time I derived an answer to a SC problem, and was sure it is the right answer.
Although it took some time to apply the approach but that can get better with practice.
Wow, I was really impressed and immediately signed up for the eGMAT Live prep.

With my current prep going on my Verbal score has so far jumped from V23 to V34. I clearly know my week areas, and I have been selectively working towards improving on those. Thanks to Scholaranium(Offered by EGMAT) to help me understand my weaknesses.

The interactiveness the course provides is the best thing in the course,
The step by step process you learn to solve the Verbal question is truly phenomenal. A big fat thumbs up for the course

Also wanted to talk about e-GMAT Scholaranium
So far e-GMAT Scholaranium is the only platform I have come across which provides so good analysis and options that you can easily find your weak Areas and work on them.
The course has a segmented approach. We can choose RC/SC/CR and also which topics we want to test, and also the difficulty levels.
The Question pool is very good covering all topics & concepts.
All the Quizzes taken get saved and can be reviewed later as well.
 From this awesome platform, you can easily find your strong areas, and your weak areas and work towards improving your weak areas.
Thumps up to e-GMAT team for developing such a course.

I am going to take my GMAT in Feb First week, and I hope I can cross the V40 mark and score a 750. Thank you eGMAT.

I originally scored a 610 (Q47 V27) on my GMAT around September of 2015. When I decided to give the GMAT another go, I knew that SC was going to be the biggest obstacle I would have to climb. With the great reviews posted on GMATClub, I decided to give e-gmat a shot. I originally signed up for the e-gmat verbal prep, but eventually downgraded to the e-gmat verbal online. The customer service was great outside of the weird agreement they made me sign to get $100 back from downgrading.

As for the course itself, I probably spent a little over 100 hours going through the course. I did my very best to make sure I was learning everything I was going through and not just going through it. I found this course a great start for learning the fundamentals of grammar and is good for both low level and higher level verbal scorers. I did not however find their practice examples useful as they were always tailored toward the lessons I had just learned and once it came down to actually spotting the problems on real OG problems, it was hard to execute since it was tailored to be easier to spot in the lesson. Overall, the course was a good start to my Verbal battle and I believe it was worth going through. I recommend this class for the population they market towards, the non-natives and people who are poor with grammar like myself.

The GMAT has been a 2-year journey for me. I referred multiple blogs, books and of course The Gmat Club. I received multiple emails from Rajat Sadana of eGmat, offering free Live Sessions. The first time I attended one of those I was convinced that this was it.

The live session (for Reading Comprehension) explained to me how the obvious questions were not so obvious after all. Breaking the sentence down, looking for the keywords, actively reading and gauging the tone of the passage was a revelation of sorts.

My gut feeling about signing up did not let me down. Every aspect of a sentence be it SC, CR or RC, presented information I would not have otherwise figured out on my own.

Highly recommended!

Magoosh is by far the cheapest among all GMAT courses in the market. It was the first one which I purchased. They have a variety of videos explaining each of the topics that you need from GMAT. The topics are well organized and you can follow the guide to complete the sessions or just select the topics you prefer. They also have many exercises to practice. The only thing that I didn't like was the mock exams, but those you can get for free in other places. If you are looking for a cheap and reliable solution, magoosh is your choice.

My GMAT journey started a year ago when i was just using online portals for my preparation and then i got to know about the online egamt course. Trusting my friend who suggested me the course i went on to buy the verbal course and trust me it id the best course available online for non-English speakers. the concepts used to understand the CR passages is flawless, which once mastered will give you the confidence on any CR question. Moving on to SC course; once you are done with the course it makes you fell like a master in English language.
