I have been struggling with my verbal, especially Reading Comp. I have looked all over GC for tips and strategies. But nothing seem to help. It was becoming really frustrating. So I decided to buy E-GMAT Verbal Online.
I would recommend this course for a non-native speaker. E-GMAT can be useful because after each lesson there are quizzes to complete. e-GMAT is an excellent source for Verbal. All the concepts tested on the GMAT exam are covered. The SC and CR are the best with explanations to simple as well as complex concept.
I have spent a good portion of today going through the Verbal e-gmat course. I have already seen an improvement in my understanding and practice questions both on e-gmat and in the OG

Before taking up the Verbal online prep - E-gmat course, I enrolled myself for the Kaplan Courses. Having nothing to compare with, I candidly followed the process they asked and materials they provided. I got a GMAT score of 640, although I was targeting above 700. Disheartened and upset, I tried to figure out why it happened, cause I had never put in that much of an effort anywhere else. This year, when I enrolled myself for the E-Gmat course, it was clear to me. There are so many things which non-native speakers arent aware of because it has never been pointed out. There is a structure and system to everything in Verbal. It is just like quants , logic, if it fits , there is a formula you have to apply. E-Gmat does this sincerely and most importantly gets to the root of your understanding. I wish I knew about the course earlier and didnt waste my time, energy and money on other courses. My fingers are crossed for my GMAT next month, and I definitely feel more improved and confident.

I had less than two weeks to take the GMAT. I was skeptical at first to purchase magoosh. I finally bought it when i took a practice test and score a 560. I realized I needed to review my concepts. I loved magoosh and loved the big video library. I also really liked how all the practice questions were accompanied with an explanation video. I was having timing problems in quant and the videos taught me alternative methods to think faster. I would recommend this product to anyone who wants a high score. I went from a 560 to 670 in two weeks. It only makes you wonder how high one would score if practiced for a month or two. It is a great product with a great team behind it.

I have GMAT in August 2013, received a low score in verbal and planning it again in March 2013. with e-GMAT's verbal course, I already feel the difference in my prep levels.

the best part about the course is their process oriented approach to verbal questions. As you practice more, the approach is set in your brain and verbal questions become easy. All the questions in their Scholaranium are authentic and similar to Official Guide questions. You still have to remember a lot of grammar stuff though!! the Course is extensive with 24X7 online support. It has really helped me and I cant wait for my GMAT exam in March!

I have been using a variety of course material but was still unsatisfied with the way SC was dealt with. Being a non-native speaker, I was especially anxious about this part. That is when a GMAT buddy recommended Magoosh to me and I am glad I tried. Till I used Magoosh, I had been through a lot of theory which I found difficult to apply. Although going through Magoosh’s SC videos were exhausting, but at the end of it I realized I had a firm handle over my concepts. These high-quality videos are well-researched and well-explained. The thing the Magoosh does right is that it not only goes into great depth but it also uses a lot of examples to drill that concept in. Additionally, the tips and concepts illustrated in the videos are of really high quality. The CR and RC areas are decently covered too. All the videos are short, exhaustive and easily comprehensible. They do use a lot of jargons, but you will get used to it.
As for the quant, being an Asian, I was already pretty decent with quant and didn’t need much help on that front. But I didn’t regret the quick refresher that Magoosh gave me. A lot of the tips were really handy especially the pacing tips.

Additionally, the almost 1000 practice questions that Magoosh have put up are, in my opinion, one of the best in its class and one of the most GMAT-like questions out there. The questions not only test on a variety of concepts but also test these concepts repeatedly so that the student learns from repetition and becomes confident with his/her skills. Each question is followed up by a video and text explanation and gives a link to the related concept videos and theory. The tags assigned to the questions along with the ability to flag a question for review, makes not only the question solving but also the revision very easy.

In all, Magoosh is the perfect one stop solution to all your GMAT-woes. It starts from the scratch with its comprehensive and high quality videos and brings you to your zenith with its high level questions and tips for exam taking.

I had the opportunity to try the Quant Scholaranium Beta version. At first I had no expectation out of these questions. But boy was I in for a surprise. The questions were of really good quality with a good level of difficulty. I found them to be more GMAT-like than the questions of a lot of other GMAT-Prep providers. Note that these questions are not for the faint hearted. Pick this course up only if you are already on the Q49 level but still want more. The 2nd best thing about Quant Scholarium is the explanations for the questions. They are not only logical but they also give you different ways to solve each questions. I used to even go through questions that I had got correct just to find out a more time efficient way of solving the question. The UI is pretty neat and they have done a good job by keeping tags for various topics, difficulty level and type of questions (PS/DS). This enabled me to target my preparation. I picked up the topics that I found difficult first and then worked my way down. The quantity of questions are good (711 questions and approx. 250 of them are categorized as hard) and should be more than enough practice for the exam. The option to flag a question is a plus. The 3rd best thing about Quant Scholarium is the analytics which is by far the best that I have seen. The Dashboard and the Skill Data tab gives some pretty neat analytics which help identify specific weak areas. The landing page calculates and displays various statistics that helped me to identify my weak areas. So, for example, I found out that while I was pretty good with Probability, I needed to work on Permutations and Combinations. The Attempts tab helped me keep track of my performance and gave me a “grade” of sorts (weighted average) of my performance.
All in all I am pretty satisfied with eGMAT’s quant scholarium. This course came at the right time and now I am more confident of “breaking” the Q49 plateau.

I would like to rate the Magoosh experience as quite satisfactory. Having given my first practice GMAT test at 530 to getting a 650 in the actual test in a short span of one and half months. I feel the program did its job quite well. Having good videos for all the concepts helped me learn. There one month study plan is very comprehensive and challenging.
I would say the quant content was quite good and involved a great number of practice problems with excellent video explanations.
I am satisfied with the verbal part. Though I feel after going through the whole verbal practice I could not improve much....but though the problem could be entirely in me not them.

Being a non native English speaker, I took e-Gmat's verbal online course after I attended a free webinar from E-gmat and found it helpful. The content of the course is very good. The course helps to go into details without making it complicated. The SC section is exhaustive and explains in great detail. Their approach to sentence correction is probably the best among all the prep companies. The practice tests in each module helps in fine tuning my preparation. I strongly recommend candidates to take this course to succeed in gmat's verbal section. They also offer some free concepts on their website where you can see first hand the quality of their resources.

Magoosh is a good tool for GMAT aspirants, quant questions are very useful to students, In GMAT real exam I got some questions same as in magoosh quant. coming to verbal section this section is a quite different from math’s, It requires complete knowledge of English along with lots of patience to read passages. I felt magoosh passages are a bit lengthier than GMAT orginal exam.
Positives:
• Great flexibility to practice questions as we like,
• Magoosh score predictor is very accurate.
• Explanation of questions and their answers is very nice.
• Customer service is good, reply for doubts will be addressed soon.
• Magoosh YouTube videos like Tuesdays with Kevin are very useful.

Considerations: The only thing I feel wrong with Magoosh is the slow pace of English lessons.

Magoosh is great. Their concept videos are incredibly detailed and give you a great foundation for everything you'll need. Additionally, their practice problems have video solutions that walk you through every step so you're never lost and know exactly what you may have done wrong. I would definitely recommend Magoosh to anyone who is serious about getting a top score. Between their study plans and content, they are one of the best out there. Before Magoosh I didn't know the mechanics of sentence correction on the GMAT and would choose answers that "sounded" best. I wanted something that would help me learn how to actually solve SC questions and not just make educated guesses. The only thing I think they could do better would be their CATs.
