There are plethora of online courses for GMAT but I chose e-GMAT because it gave be a discipline to study and practice daily. More importantly, I was excited to learn so many new things via online videos. This was the first time I was going through an online course and it worked wonders for me in SC, CR and RC.

The Ability test and Custom Quiz on Scholorenium is awesome which brings out the unknown weak areas and guide you towards improving on those. Thanks to Payal for her outstanding presentations.
The other important thing is the approach to attach a problem and the step by step resolution of the problems.

Quant was my weak point. Though my concepts were all clear and I had a good idea of the basics, I used to get scores ranging from low to mid 40s, which was certainly not enough for the scores I have been aiming for.

Pros
- It helped me bring the discipline and structure into my preparation.
- Gave me lots of insights and hacks into solving questions, that I used to find tedious and time consuming.
- My Weakest topics were Geometry and Modulus, and with the help of e-GMAT's course, I have been able to improve my accuracy by 70% in these questions.
- Segregating questions into Easy, Medium, & Hard categories & the Analytics that goes with it went a long way in helping me identify and rectify my weak points.

Cons
- A few sections look like they need to be updated (In terms of numbers & figures), though it doesn't affect the preparation process, It may make it easier for a learner to grasp.
- No Full length tests as a part of Scholaranium

Overall, I would certainly recommend the course for anyone looking at getting a good boost to their preparation and Score

Hi friends. I would like to share my experience with e-GMAT verbal. Previously I was casual in verbal preparation, as I used to get bored while revising basic Grammer. But once I started preparation with e- GMAT, I started to spend more and more time on verbal. Last year my verbal score on gmat was 16. Thus I decided to spend maximum time on verbal. Few takeaways from my experience are as follows:

1) e- gmat not only helps in bridging the conceptual gaps in english grammar, but also instills confidence in preparation. The more questions I solve using the e GMAT strategies , the more cofident I feel to do well on actual GMAT.
2) The videos impose a clear understanding of individual subjects. Within a month of preparation with egmat verbal course, I could see improvement on my mock test.
3) Any student who is not so confident with verbal section should take this course and mark my words, you would experience a transformation by yourself. At, present I am confident enough to score 32 + which seemed like a dream before I had taken e GMAT verbal online course.

Thanks for your valuable time.

I have been using the e-GMAT's Verbal Online course for some time now. I fell back on my preparation due to work and daily life pressures but I've been using it for few months now. Their verbal online course is a great collection of videos which explain each and every concept in detail. If you don't want to be scanning multiple GMAT books then this is the course for you. I also recently attended a few free webinars with e-GMAT and was really impressed by the approach of the instructors. They concentrate on ensuring clarity of GMAT verbal concepts and explain how you should be applying them in the exam. After attending one of the SC sessions, I was immediately thinking differently and was able understand what mistakes I making. Actually, I've even decided to upgrade to Verbal Live Prep course because I feel the Live Sessions will be a critical component in my preparation.

I'm a working professional and it gets really hectic to fit GMAT preparation in my schedule. However, after using e-GMAT's Verbal online course and attending webinars I feel their course is a definite winner. They even provide you with well set study plans and which really is everything you need.

e-GMAT thanks for being our savior!

Good on quant but not so good on verbal

Course Magoosh Premium

Location Online

Since I'm a novice at GMAT, I took the course from magoosh premium after searched what online course that can help me to prepare for gmat exam. My target is pass 500 score mark in only one month.
I followed its one month guide, study both quant and verbal videos everyday, and do practice problem from its question banks and official guide. As a result, I can't keep up the study plan because I have a full time job and only have 2 hours on weekdays and 6 hours on weekends to study, while the study plan suggest that you should have 5 to 6 hours a day to study. So I changed the plan to focus only solving its question banks.
The quant lessons is very good, while the verbal lessons is not a game changer especially if you are a non native. The only drawback from the video lessons (especially verbal) is it use a plain text format for the presentation, so if you are a visual learner you are not gonna like the lessons.
Its question banks is top notch because its give you a video explanation on every questions (there are aprox 800-900 question). The explanation on quant is straight forward, it will clear your doubt and often a very hard questions can be solved by simple way. On the other hand, the video explanations on verbal question is not good as the quant's, especially in CR.
In the end, at the exam I scored 440, which is a very disappointing score.
Conclussion: few thing that I like from the magoosh is its quant lessons and its questions bank. If you are a non native who want to improve verbal, try something else.

I am a non-native speaker. I decided to appear for GAMT at the beginning of last year. I registered myself in GMAT club and bought the full course of Manhattan GAMT study material. Having an engineering background, I hardly faced much challenges to solve GMAT quant section. However, I found verbal section really challenging. Even though I went through the complete Manhattan sentence correction and critical reasoning books, I struggled to complete the verbal section within time.
I decided to take some expert’s advice for my verbal section preparation. While going through reviews on different GMAT prep courses, I came to know about E-GAMT. I attended E-GMAT free webinar for free sentence correction and critical reasoning sections. I was really amazing by teaching process and found it very much comprehensive. After attending a few more webinars, I decided to go for E-GMAT verbal online course. Within a week of study, I have seen a significant improvement in my accuracy. The way e-GMAT explains the concepts is refreshingly different and makes solving sentence correction questions pretty interesting. E-GMAT POE for sentence correction method is very much comprehensive and I could apply the same method in all types of questions whether simple or difficult.
I have already recommended couple of friends about E-GMAT verbal online course for GMAT preparation, and in my opinion for any non-native speaker who is preparing for GMAT, E-GMAT verbal online is the one stop solution for GMAT verbal section. My actual exam is schedules next month. I hope I will be able to write a happy new review after the test.

The egmat quant course is simply amazing. It forces you think in math terms and apply a specific process instead of learn by heart many algebraic formulas.
The videos explanation are easy to follow and allow you to retain more information and key concepts. Although the live sessions contain complex questions, they are extremely helpful because they clarify some of the most frequent doubts one person may have.
The exercises following the theory are designed to build a solid understanding of covered concepts and allow you to attempt more difficult Gmat questions as you proceed through the course.
Besides, the concepts are separated per topic and you can find related exercises easily (this is really helpful because it allows you to review concepts and practice more where needed).
In conclusion, I strongly recommend this course to anyone is serious about the exam and needs a correct and easy approach to solve quant questions

Quant Scholaranium is a great way for practicing and improving your score. It has a lot of options to use. You can choose different areas to practice and track your progress. I am sure that anyone who buys Scholaranium will not be disappointed.
Explanations for the solutions are very good to cement the knownledge on quant. The level of questions are very good an also tha variety covers avarythng that you nedd to know for the gmat test.
In general it was very useful using Scholaranium and I recommend to everyone. I enjoyed using it and it has been a great tool to improve my quant score.

Before opting for the Verbal Live Prep course from E-Gmat, I went through various verbal courses available online but none of them were as complete as the Verbal Live Prep from e-gmat. After going through the course , i felt nothing in the curriculum is left behind and i could easily solve difficult SC, CR and RC questions.

Scholaranium is a section where one can attempt the section wise quiz or the sub-section wise quiz.
They have a lot of variety of questions and it really helps to keep the track of progress.
They also have forum where people can discuss their doubts, and the guides help them out. That really helps in understanding where I was going wrong.
In all I would say that they have an excellent , well-structured course.
They really focus on the basics and make the process a lot simplified.
It offers more than 200 questions in each section of the verbal test, viz – CR, SC and RC. One can take sectional tests to gauze their performance or take a complete verbal test to gauze the performance in the verbal section of the test – so one can take 10 sectional ability quizzes and 5 verbal ability quizzes. The tests are quite scientific and the way they are designed gives you a very good measure of your true strengths and weaknesses. You can identify your sections to work on and then focus on that section to weed out any weakness that you may have. After working on that section you can come back and take the ability quizzes to see the improvement if any. It tells a student if he or she is truly ready for the tests of if there’s any gap in their ability which they need to fix before taking the tests. This would allow then to avoid any nasty surprises on the test day.

At the beginning of the course, a study plan is provided which helped me greatly in chalking out my own study plan. The concepts are taught using Audio/Visual files which are much interesting in reading plain text files. This leads to better concentration and better retention of the concepts learned. The learning process is well planned. After a series of concept files there are application files which tests the ability to apply the concepts learned in that section. The files may be revisited as many times as required. Moreover, the application of concepts is taught in great details in the Live Sessions and all queries/doubts are answered by the tutors.

E-GMAT Scholaranium is a wonderful tool that helps greatly in increasing the accuracy.

Overall, E-GMAT Verbal Live Prep is a highly recommended course to increase your verbal ability. Most of my friends who have cracked or are preparing for GMAT have gone through the VLP course by E- Gmat.

Right direction- Improving GMAT verbal

Before I enrolled in the course, I unsuccessfully self-prepared for the GMAT exam through well-known GMAT books, scoring V25 and V27 - a poor improve after some intensive months of preparation.
So, I decided to attend one of e-gmat's free webinar. This 2.5 hours session was an eye-opening experience for me. Rajat made me realized my weak areas and the right way to improve them, so I decided to enroll in the e-GMAT Verbal Live Prep and work strategically. After these months I can say that it was the best decision because I have successfully improved my accuracy by polishing the e-gmat process.
1) SC: I learned that "meaning" is key. Understand the intended meaning of the sentence, mentally dismantle its structure and determine the role of its parts is helping me to increase my accuaracy. I have reached 80% accuracy so far and I keep improving.
2) CR: Here Pre-thinking is the "key of the Kingdom". Carefully reading the argument, understanding what the author is trying to communicate in the conclusion, and identifying the role of the premises or how the premises affect the conclusion is key. Mastering this mental process helped me to effectively "pre-think" and predict the correct answer.
3) RC: e-gmat reading strategy is awesome. Identifying the structure and the rol of each paragraph helps to better understand the passage and predict the author's main idea.

Now I feel self-confidence while solving each verbal question, understanding meaning, pre-thinking answers and eliminating answer choices for the right reasons. Remember that timing is not the problem. It's an outcome of the process you employ to solve the questions. I still have some more weeks to polish the process and my skills in order to beat the exam! Thanks a lot e-gmat!!
