Once I decided to give GMAT, I heard a range of facts and myths related to the preparation. One such myth was that the people, who are either avid readers or native speakers can only get a good score good in verbal section. The fact that I was neither of the two, scared me out of my wits and this thought was somewhere stuck in my head. Even though I tried to learn theory and practiced questions, I was unable to identify the cause of my mistakes. To add to my woes was my inability to sustain my concentration till the end of verbal section. These shortcomings were reflected in my first attempt of GMAT, where I had scored 32 in verbal.

After taking a break of a month, I decided to begin with my prep again. It was during this time one of friends told me about eGMAT verbal course. I attended the free sessions and was impressed with the way the concepts were taught. The sessions were great eye openers, and pretty easy to understand. This prompted me to enroll for eGMAT verbal course.

The course is very well-structured, and helps in understanding of all the concepts, including the tough ones such as modifiers. I realized the importance of understanding the meaning of question and the need of pre-thinking the argument. Scholaranium section is an added bonus. The timed practice of scholaranium questions gets once face to face with their strengths and weaknesses. In-fact, this section helped me evaluate and rectify my mistakes.

The eGMAT Verbal course made me feel more confident and removed the apprehensions related to verbal section. Again a big thanks to eGMAT team for their wonderful course. I would like to strongly recommend this course to every non-native speaker for the verbal prep.

I signed up Verbal Online package after going through various reviews on gmatclub. It cost $199 when I bought it. I would recommend that any student who would like to improve on verbal, must go for this.

E-GMAT has this really effective method of teaching of breaking up the sentences and teaching the minute GMAT grammer rules. In such way, you need not remember all the rules except few. Before this course, I was unable to understand why the correct answer is correct and why the incorrect one in incorrect. This is a problem with almost all native speakers. E-gmat course helped me understand the basic idea of how to read and understand the meaning of the given question and then answer it effectively.

The one more good part of this course is scholarium, where you can test your skills. Its an access with huge number of question banks. It gives you graphical representation of your performance on both accuracy and ability.
It also give you performance info on various topics as well.


Overall I would say it a nice package. I am satisfied with the quality and they way they have tried to put this all together.

Video explanations of Magoosh are really good . Magoosh prep will help to brush up all basics . When I started my preparation for gmat , I was looking for some online classes which will help me in the right direction and Magoosh gave that confidence .

Coming to question bank it is limited , and same questions are popping up during full length tests as well . full length tests are not giving the right picture of my preparation . Though video explanation for each question is very helpful.

I would say , Magoosh is good for kick starting ones preparation .

Support from Magoosh team was fantastic !!!!

Magoosh was a fantastic choice for GMAT preparation. You need to be disciplined and persistent -- skills you'll need to enter any elite MBA program -- and follow through their well-structured study schedules.
The math videos are excellent and really give you a 360 degree view of the quantitative aspect of the GMAT. Many lessons are worth remembering for long after your GMAT.
Their weakest link was the verbal videos, which I found to be too theoretical and hard to follow. I suggest they take a lighter approach, but again, I had strong verbal scores prior to the examination.
Their practice bank is very good and seeing your progress as you solve 10-20 at a time definitely motivates you.
Magoosh also extended my subscription after I postponed my initial test date: a very generous gesture.
Great value for what you get out of it!

I would highly recommend this course. I have improved my verbal a lot. This course is perfect for non-native speakers. The course content is very good and easy to understand. New addition of Scholaranium lets you practice and fill in the missing gaps.

Sentence correction is the best section. I also liked CR section a lot. The meaning based approach for SC question is awesome. There is IR section as well which is the best i have seen. Very close to actual GMAT. Its the best verbal course out there.You need not think twice before purchasing the course.

All the best.

Hi Rajat/Payal,

This is Sai Kiran and I am a user of eGMAT Verbal Online subscription.

I am highly excited to share my GMAT success story. I scored 680 in my actual gmat with Q 49, V 34, AWA 6 and IR 8.

This was my 3rd attempt. In each of the last two attempts I scored 550.

Attempt 1: 550 (score cancelled) Q 47 V 17

I took up the subscription of eGmat after my 1st attempt.

I spent a month exclusively on Verbal using eGMAT verbal online.

Attempt 2: 550 (score submitted) Q 42, V 25, IR 5 and AWA 6

Now I felt little weird looking at my Quant scores. My strong area is Quant but surprisingly the scores didn't reflect my strength. I used to constantly score 51 or 50 in my gmat club CATs. However, looking at the improvement in Verbal scores I was elated and motivated. With this energy & enthusiasm I took my 3rd attempt (mentally it was my last attempt).

Attempt 3: 680 (score submitted); Q49, V34, IR 8, and AWA 6.

My entire focus in my 3rd attempt was on improving the accuracy in CR and applying the strategies during the crunch times. I stopped taking full length mocks as I wanted my full attention on improving accuracy rather than on fetching scores.

In my latest attempt, I was pretty sure about my IR and Quant performance but the real demon to crack was Verbal.

Though I was feeling the time pressure, I did not divert from the strategy. The task at hand was not to loose my focus and to keep adopting my strategies and elimination techniques.

Finally I got my score. I dreamt of the magic number 700. But 680 is not a bad score when I look at my background.

I must definitely thank the entire team of eGMAT for putting up such a wonderful material for non natives. The overall approach/methodology built by eGMAT is extraordinary. The modules are broken into sub-modules with pre and post assessment quizzes further followed by application files is really meticulous. The verbal online module has definitely increased my confidence levels specially in the CR which is devil. The performance in the ability quiz of SC kept me motivated. eGMAT helped me master the SC keeping the time constraint in mind.

I would strongly recommend eGMAT especially non-natives who wish to ace and crack GMAT.

The latest quant quiz is extremely helpful. I love those quizzes. They keep pushing the concept levels.

The gear now shifts to the next level. Applications to the colleges.

Thanks a lot team eGMAT.

Regards

Sai Kiran

I took help of the e-GMAT Verbal Online followed by the Verbal Live courses for my GMAT verbal preparation. Based on my research and the fact that I wanted a study at your own pace kind of a program that wasn't limited to weekend classes, I chose e-GMAT over others. e-GMAT fit the bill in terms of convenience. The verbal online material for the sentence correction section was very well organized and focussed on the topics that you were frequently tested on GMAT. I didn't find the other sections of the material really helpful or worth the money. While the material definitely helped me improve my verbal score from a 30 to 34, it didn't help me achieve my target score of 37-40 on verbal. The verbal live sessions didn't add much value to me. After scoring a 34 on my first attempt, I had a phone call with Rajat Sadana, the CEO of e-GMAT and he convinced me to sign up for the verbal live sessions. I ended up with the same 34 on my second attempt as well. I'd recommend their sentence correction package but nothing else.
