Egmat has helped me clear the basics with very much efficacy through its tutorials and has tons of problems to practice.
Practice questions after each tutorial are very helpful to apply the concepts learnt right then and helps to get a clarity on the application aspect.The topics are exhaustively covered .The strategies are very well explained which help in saving a lot of time on the Gmat .The scholaranium practice tests and reports regarding results present a clear analysis of the weak areas and scope of improvement which definitely helps the test taker to work on the weak areas and consequently improve .
The level of difficulty of eGMAT Quant practice questions is good, higher than what you would expect in the GMAT exam.
However, the questions did help me prepare better because i always remained under the impression that i have a lot to improve.After solving such touch questions, solving OG questions actually became a cakewalk.However, the downside is that you might actually go low in confidence when you get too many such touch questions incorrect and your timing strategy might also go for a toss. You cannot solve such tough questions,using the timing strategy that you have in your mind.
Thanks !
I’m a non native English speaker and e-GMAT has been invaluable to me. Some things just sound ‘incorrect’ to me but are grammatically correct. E-gmat helped me identify these types of answer choices. I highly recommend the course to anyone who’s struggling to go from a ~680 to a ~750+ On the customer support side also these guys are super helpful and were happy to answer questions within 24 hours.
Overall, highly recommended.
I've posted this before on another review but I'll do it again for the benefit of the community - The course is somewhat pricey but well worth it if you're already working and time constrained. I'm not a student anymore and don't have the time to sort through what's important and what's not - I like that e-GMAT just says: this is a problem, this is how you solve it, here's a quiz to make sure you understand, done .... onto the next one.
If you're looking for a no BS course that will bump up your GMAT score in a reasonable amount of time, I can vouch e-GMAT will help you do that. The rest is upto you.
This is the first review am writing after facing the real GMAT exam .I can confidently say that e-Gmat is the best course for verbal in the market.
After going through so many GMAT verbal books i realized that my verbal score was not improving at all.I
was stuck in the range of 25-26.I bought e-gmat online course after reading their excellent reviews online.
After going through the online verbal course ,I improved from 25 to 34 in just 2 weeks.I finally understood the concepts
which i was not able to understand earlier for instance,the use of modifier ,sentence run on,verb tense and parallelism was always so confusing .
Finally ,on exam day i was able to get 640 in Gmat with 35 in verbal.I cant believe i improved by 10 points in just 2-3 weeks of time . Iam going to attempt the
exam again by next month and now i am close to 35-37 in my mocks.For me e-gmat made a big difference.I would suggest to those who are searching for best material and
course on GMAT verbal ,please stop wasting your time and money .Just try egmat iam sure if i can improve others can also improve.
I would highly recommend this courese to anyone who wants to improve their scores in short span of time.The course is designed
in such as way that it was fun learning through the videos along with few series of tests ,which actually helped me to correct my basics and
improve my English fundamentals.If you get your fundamentals right then no question is actually tough on GMAT.
I found Magoosh Verbal video lessons a great complement to Manhattan Verbal guides; especially for SC. Let me explain how it works. If you study a lesson or strategy in a book, it may not stick to your mind. But when you study a concept and few days later you face the same concept on practice problems, and then a week later watch a video lesson on the same concept, it would probably remain in your memory for long time. Magoosh video lessons; especially SC ones; teach you new concepts or deepen your understanding of newly learned concepts.
In addition, Magoosh offers a "Help" feature that you I found very helpful during my studies. You could simply email Magoosh experts and ask them anything. They also have video explanations for OG problems.
Nevertheless, I do not like their AWA section. They could have done much better on this section.
In sum, If you are a dedicated test-taker and willing to spend 2 to 3 months studying GMAT, I highly suggest purchasing Magoosh products. You have to listen to them and follow their approach.
Quant was never an issue for me.But Verbal was always an Issue. I started my GMAT Verbal preparation by starting with few good recommended books. But on going through them the second time I realized that i had missed a lot of things and hence revisited them again. In this process I invested most of my preparation time in learning concepts than practicing.With this I gave my first attempt and it was disaster (V24,Q51).That's when i started with e-gmat verbal course.
As this was my second attempt and I was also working , course structure gave me enough encouragement to continue with my studies. The 'Correct' methodology you learn along with skillset and immediate application of them helped me a lot.And then off-course on completing the whole course there was Scholaranium to give me a very clear picture as to were i lag and which areas i need to focus on.
Thank you e-gmat for showing me a clear picture ahead when i was stuck and had no where to go.
After 1 month, I took my first diagnostic test using the GMAT Prep software and scored 580 (Q39,V30). I honestly felt defeated because I knew I needed at least a 700+ for the top B-schools. So I decided to work on my Verbal because my SC score was really low, I re-read the MGMAT SC book but looking back now I should have accepted that my issue was not only about putting in the time needed, but also about finding a good online platform with video lectures. I have never been one to study using only books.
I re-read the MGMAT SC but I think I made my situation worse by trying to memorize all the different rules. I was hesitant about spending more money on courses but one day when I was working on some OG SC questions after work, I failed 8 out of the 10 SC questions i had solved so out of frustration, I bought the eGMAT SC course. It was truly a blessing. The way the topics are broken down is incredible. For each video, there is a pre-assessment quiz which was good so that I can access my knowledge on the topic (e.g modifiers, pronouns etc). Then the video explanations explained the topics and addressed common errors. Afterwards a post assessment quiz was given.
After watching half of eGMAT videos, I took another practice test and scored GMAT Prep 2: 640 (Q45, V35). Quite an improvement from V27 but I knew that I needed to find more time to work on SC.
In October, I took the Exam Pack 1 and scored 680 (Q48, V35). I retook the exam again but the questions were 30-40% the same so I scored 770 (Q50, V45) so I didn't get too excited. 2 weeks later, I finished the remaining verbal videos and took another practice test and scored 710 (Q48, V40).
Prior to Magoosh, I took my first diagnostic test using the GMAT Prep software and scored 580 (Q39,V30). I honestly felt defeated because I knew I needed at least a 700+ for the top B-schools. I decided to purchase Magoosh because it was reasonable prized at $179 in comparison to the other courses in the market.
Magoosh was a REALLY good way to take a step back and relearn everything I thought I knew about Quant. Mike's explanations were really helpful in learning the efficient way to solve math problems. The quant practice questions were really good and had detailed solutions. My quant score improved from Q39 to Q46 in my practice tests.
However, I didn't really enjoy the verbal section of the platform. The verbal was too rule based and did not emphasize on examples.
Overall, I will recommend Magoosh for quant.
REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]
I improved 8 points in verbal from 33 to 41. Key for me was my basics improved with this course, and then I did tons of practice with strong basics.
I tried studying from other popular course guides, but for me it didn't helped much.
I was more like guessing the questions, it took time to even realize the areas where I needed improvement.
Best thing about this e-gmat course for me is it is really interesting and keeps you hooked through visualization and short animated lectures, with tons of practice before and after the lecture. The written e-gmat articles are even more helpful. I just liked everything about this course including the verbal workshops that I got to attend, integrated reasoning course that came free with this and gmatclub membership that I got.
I started my GMAT with classroom courses in Delhi, and then took to manhatten, but my score did not improve much. I was stuck at 630-640.I was not sure what was i was missing , then a friend of mine who had given his GMAT recently and scored 740 in just 2 months suggested me E-GMAT Course.
I took the online course and not the live prep. To my surprise it suggested to understand the concepts first unlike my classroom course with an institute in Delhi which emphasized on shortcuts.
It took me 2 months to complete verbal and the mock scores have improved a lot. my last score was 710.
The course explains the concept and application very well. I can easily identify the errors from the question sentence itself now, well i need to memorize all the concepts still. most of the time i forget the concept. I would really recommend it to everyone who is struggling to improve the verbal score.
I am yet to give the GMAT in December and i hope my actual score is consistent with my mock test scores.
Which Magoosh study plan did you use?
