Hi,

I gave gmat on 13-feb-2016 before joining the e-gmat verbal course. i scored 670. quant 49 verbal 33. In enhanced report my scores were:-
SC-41
RC:-38
CR:- 23
I had a very bad CR score.
The problems i faced withe CR is i used to take more time than required and wasn't able to fully understand the passage. So when i was confused in b/w two choices i had to make a wild guess.
But after joining e-gmat verbal prep I can see a considerable improvement in my CR skills. I'm able to understand the passage well thanks to LOGICAL STRUCTURE and also able to get the correct answer choice thanks to PRE-THINKING.
I have scheduled my exam for 14-Sept-2016 hope to score well this time.

Thanks,
Aayush Srivastava

When I first took my mock tests I realized that I was very weak at the data sufficiency questions (which I then realized was the case with many people). Problem solving part was okay for me but even that used to take too much time, which I discovered after taking a few quant sessions.

Rajat is really interactive in his teaching style and the methods taught by him are very easy to understand and nothing is a cramming job anymore. You can just think logical to arrive at the right answer rather than to apply formulas everywhere.

My quant score improved a lot after I took up this course with e-GMAT and would really recommend this course if you want to have a grip at the quant section with an easy understanding.

I recently got done with my GMAT exam and ended up with a score of 740 (Q-49, V-41). I owe a big part of my success to the e-GMAT team who helped in raising my verbal score from 33-34 to 38-41.

A brief background- I am an Indian by origin, a consultant by profession and a holder of Masters degree in Economics. I recently became a mom and therefore, decided to take a sabbatical from work. During this break, I revisited my dream to pursue MBA and decided to use this time to crack GMAT. Being a mother to a toddler who needs my constant attention, I wanted a course that would give me the flexibility to study at my own pace. Reading about e-GMATon GMATClub, I did not have to think much and signed up for the Verbal Online course.

Researching about various courses on the internet, I gained a fair knowledge about what each course was offering. And while, a lot of courses were very similar to each other in terms of SC rules and CR pre-thinking approach, one thing that set e-GMAT apart was its step-wise approach to each and every question in the verbal section. This helped me a lot as this eliminated a lot of guess work for me. Using this methodical approach, whenever I picked the answer choice, I knew my reasons for it. Moreover, one of the most important key take-aways from e-GMAT course was that it made me think from the examiner's point of view and made me aware of the common traps that GMAT lays down. This greatly influenced my accuracy rate.

In conclusion, e-GMAT is surely worth every penny and every second of time. It provides you with the best opportunity to improve your score. All you need is diligence and sincerity to follow and practise the course work.

Hi,

I have been struggling with the goat since a couple of years. Initially I got a score of 610. Even after months of preparation my score barely moved next time around and I could hardly get a score of 620.

Thereafter I took a long sabbatical and thought that I would never crack the goat however I gave an exam very recently and got a score of 650. Although I this wasn't the score I was hopping for, I was convinced that I could improve.

I brought the Magoosh verbal prep. Initially I felt that it was very technical as it used grammatical jargon. However I soon realised and this was pointed out by the professors also that we needed to focus on the concepts and not what they are called.

I started going through the concept videos. The sc module is really through. The strength of the course is also in its questions. I finished the hard and very hard questions across the three modules.

At this juncture, I would also like to highlight the help that I received from the support team. They helped me analyse my GMAT Enhanced report. There was a phase when my mgmat scores were declining. I turned to the core team for help. Finally in the last week, they gave a simple most important tio that I need to revise questions.

The result of sustained efforts and coaching was an improvement of the verbal score from34 to 38. My gnat score improved from 650 to 710. Thanks for making this happen!

I am a 45 years old and I am French; my English is ok but not perfect. The Business school asked me to have +500 points. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a lot of time to prepare the GMAT, just eight weeks. After five weeks of the Economist Gmat preparation, the first try was awful with 410 points!! And I had to retake three weeks later. That’s why I decided to switch from “GMATtheeconomist” to the E-GMAT preparation.The experience was very good. In three weeks, I gained 100 points. My test was a success with 510 points, so next year I will study in a business school!

E-gmat understands the essence of the Verbal section of the GMAT exam and how non-natives approach their prep - the course is custom-designed for non-natives to reach the 90th percentile in the verbal section. An excellent platform that is interactive and comprehensive. Highly recommended!
Approach: for verbal prep, I have gone through the videos of the 3 sub-sections of the verbal section, have done the scholaranium a few times, followed by a detailed review of the OG and the Verbal Review books on a couple of occassions. With a consistent improvement across the 5mock exams that I have given, I see a potential for massive improvement on my exam day.

I took up the e-GMAT Verbal Online after taking up a few free live webinars they offer online and found the way of approaching verbal questions really tactful . It was just like doing maths. egmat makes verbal very calculative and following their rules you always know about what is going correct and what not. Be it the approach to CR questions or modifiers,parallelism,subjunctives they cover everything that is asked in a brilliant way. My RC accurcy went up to 95 percentile with their RC course. The entire money was worth investment . I never got time to do scholaranium nor did
I complete the sc and rc but still I got v39 all thanks to them

E-gmat, with its structured approach, helped me grasp the
specific approaches required for solving a verbal gmat problem. RC and SC is module driven and tests expertise in each module. Alongside, you can practice OG of your own to test your overall improvement. Specifically, I can see my score improving in SC after a few practices. You need to complete each module before practicing. For non-native speakers like me, I appreciate the way e-gmat helped me split phrase, clause from a sentence ( I never actually knew this!). I am yet to start with CR but I definitely recommend e-gmat for non-native students. WIll post a detail review after my GMAT exam,

Below is my Jan 2016 GMAT score, I took it casually.

I would like to thank Magoosh Team for their incredible support and course!

I am a non-native. My last GMAT score was 630 (Q: 49, V-26). However, my simulation scores on the GMAT software were 710 and 730 so I believed that I could do better.

I used Magoosh for both Quant and Verbal but I spent 80% of my time on Verbal.

Sentence Correction Module: Covers all the topics quite well. I recommend that one use Manhattan Book along with the course. It covers basic as well as advanced modules.

Critical Reasoning Module: I went through the module and it summarizes everything for you. I find that for critical reasoning pre-thinking is the key so I worked on changing my approach whilst attempting the question.

Reading Comprehension: This is the first time I gave importance to RC as I always believed that this skill was something too hard to be improved. However, the module guides you how to attempt a question (Pre-thinking) and was very helpful in streamlining my approach.

Quant: I have never had any issues with the Quant and I believe that Magoosh's Quant section is very good if you are aiming at scoring high score.

Support: Their support is incredible!! You can't beat that! before this attempt, I used e-GMAT's support, which is basically discouraging and not helpful at all. e-GMAT would make you travel a mile before they even try to address your question. They would force you to post your questions on third party forums before they even look at the question. Having said that, e-GMAT's content is good but the support makes me feel that I don't want to deal with them for number of reasons.

Value for money: Can I give Magoosh more than 100%? Is so, then pick that number yourself!


Thank you,

Yaman

My only regret is not finding EGMAT soon enough!!

I was in a position in which I needed to focus on both quant and verbal to get my score up. Although I didn't score above a 680 (current goal), now that I have sat through a strategy session and gone through a portion of EGMAT I am confident that my verbal score will improve. My first GMAT attempt concluded with a sad 29, after egmat I tested as high as a 36 on my practice test!!

I ended up scoring a 31 on my official exam but I attribute this to a little bit of fatigue,I didn't take full advantage of my last break!

Egmat is thorough, organized, and challenging. It will teach you to understand the meaning and THEN use strategy to attack the question. My only piece of constructive criticism is how much material you have to complete before the seminar sessions on the weekends. You shouldn't attend the sessions without completing the pre-reqs but in some instances they were on Saturdays and Sundays which posed a challenge.

I highly recommend egmat if you're struggling with verbal! Try something new! I will certainly use egmat to help me achieve my verbal score of 40+!
