Rajat mastered the skill of taking standardized tests at an early age by scoring better than 99 percentile on most exams including the CET (Indian equivalent of SAT), GATE (Indian equivalent of GRE including technical GRE), and the GMAT. Rajat stands out as one of the two students in the country who were selected by Nokia Research (NRC) Germany for a fully funded Master’s degree at IIT Delhi and subsequent internship at NRC Germany.
Post MBA (from Babson where he received full fellowship), Rajat was hired by Honeywell as a Marketing and Business Development Manager to grow its wireless business. During his 4 years at Honeywell, he helped grow the business from $2M to $25M. In August 2010, Rajat founded e-GMAT with Payal Tandon to fulfill his dream to democratize Test Prep education by leveraging technology to provide high quality, personalized, and effective education at affordable prices.

I am a non-native speaker. Before taking egmat course, i tried manhattan gmat. The SC session for MGMAT is highly rated, but somehow it didnt help me much. My SC was not improved aftering using the MGMAT SC. I read from gmat-club that egmat is really good for non-native speakers, so i started using egmat. At first, i only chose the verbal online courses. Later i found my verbal, especially SC and RC, greatly improved aftering takkng the course, so i added the verbal live prep package. E-gmat is really great for non-native speakers. My verbal improved from 35 to 40. Thanks to e-gmat!
purchased the verbal online prep. It got my score V25-29 to V36-38 within 2 months of studying 2 hrs per day.
They get into the basics and make you understand how gmat creates the material that is most commonly tested. highly recommended to anyone struggling to get past v30. i will be taking the gmat test again and hopefully will cross the v40 barrier.
the video are easy to understand and learn from. make sure you attempt all the practice questions and learn from your mistakes.
I originally started with reading the manhattan gmat book for sc however i could not understand most of the content, the video's here helped me understand from the basics.
The cr content is equally good -- just note the sample questions are harder than the real test.
Hello All, Basically I am a non native speaker and its quite obvious that I faced difficulty with the verbal part of GMAT, although i was comfortable with Quant, I tried several books in the past but none of them could help me achieve my target score, That is when I came across e-gmat courses through lot of positive reviews, Although i was little skeptical, I went ahead and enrolled myself for the complete prep after attending a demo class which was helpful. I can confidently say I could see a lot of change in the way i was understanding the question which ultimately improved my score and I was lot confident while attending the questions. There is clear cut explanation of each concept and at the same time practice questions were followed by which was very very helpful. I could see drastic changes in my test scores and I would recommend e-gmat to anybody who wants to see their score increase in a short period of time, I have already recommended it to few of my friends who are very happy with the choice. SO gear up guys ,stop wasting your time in checking out every material available out there and go ahead with e-gmat course
Background
Initial GMAT score 640. Verbal was in low 30's :(
Material used:
OG 13 questions
SC by Aristotle
GMAT 2 score 680. Verbal improved by 2-3 points
At this point I did not even wanted to touch GMAT material anymore. I've got the rules but wasn't applying them correctly, I might apply one or 2 rules and then jump to an answer choice. Wasted hours of my time and effort.
e-GMAT Approach
I had attended one of e-gmat's free webinar where Meghna solved a 700 level SC question, which made complete sense as to how she got us to the correct answer.I took advantage of their coupon code and bought Verbal Live Prep. Finished one module after the other, it seemed I was getting closer and closer to a higher score in Verbal. If you are looking for 700+ score Verbal Online provides ample modules to pick up speed but if you need a little push with your study discipline go all in, get the Verbal Live Prep.
All I had to do was tune out the world and listen to how each question was solved, explaination on creating structure around SC or CR is a life saver! The live prep gives access to live sessions where you get to solve 700+ level questions with fellow GMAT takers, its a good way to gauge where you stand on which topic and take notes on the questions you could not solve. Best error log ever!
I am planning to take my GMAT in another month, using Rajat's tactical strategy for the last month prep before I hit the hot seat, wish me luck :).
I am a non-native speaker so basically i faced a lot of problems while preparing for GMAT and CAT(an indian entrance test for mba). As an engineering grad,the main encumbrance for me was my verbal. After extensive research i choose to try out E-gmat live courses.
The e-gmat SC and CR courses are one of the best. The best thing about e-gmat was its quizzes and its focus on only the main points. The 3-step process for SC was one of the best trick to solve any SC question.After completing the SC course,my accuracy increased greatly.
The RC was great too but could have been better.
I would highly recommend this course to any non-native GMAT aspirant as well as CAT aspirant who wants to improve their SC skills.
To start with i m a non native speaker. Before i have started the EGMAT course i have tried Manhattan verbal books. This didn't help me much as i was very weak in my verbal part. This course is started from the basics and slowly went in. I really loved the way sentence correction course was taught. In the Live classes we were shown how to attack a question which is really helpful. I truly thank EGMAT team for creating such a wonderful course. Every penny spent on this course as fees is worth deserving. I recommend this course who are non natives and are really looking for score improvement.
Hi:
I got to know about e-gmat courses through gmatclub and at that time I was scoring not more than 23 in verbal. My first GMAT prep mock was terrible (Q47V23) and it was clear to me that if I don’t improve my verbal score, it wouldn’t matter if I score even 51 in quant. After trying a good amount of free classes/sessions offered by Manhattan, Kaplan, Princeton etc., I attended the free strategy sessions offered by e-GMAT that made me realize the importance of e-gmat courses over others. It is even easier to tell the difference when one is a non-native speaker of English language. In a heartbeat, I decided to subscribe e-GMAT ‘s verbal live prep (VLP) course.
Just within a month of subscription on VLP, my verbal score shot up from 23 to 28-29 range, which was astounding. During live sessions, I got opportunity to work on my thought process and improve my approach to solve certain type of problem. The most advantageous part of live sessions is that you get to discuss your doubts directly with the experts and fill the knowledge gap right there and then. All teachers (Rajat, Payal, Krishna, Juhi and others) of e-GMAT VLP courses are very thorough and they try their best to reach out everybody in the class. I was very weak in critical reasoning (CR), but after 4 months, my accuracy improved appreciably and my verbal improved to V39 from V23 which is too good to be true (if I recall my initial score).
If you want to make most out of VLP course, don’t hesitate to ask even trivial questions during the live sessions.
Cheers,
GS
I haven't yet given my GMAT . But I have given few mocks for it and trust me I have seen a drastic improvement in my verbal scores by just attending few sessions . The course has done a lot of research on how to keep you interested in the subject and one of the best feature is it does not follow the usual method of teaching like just stating the rules and solving the type questions. You consume and retain what they teach you without much effort.
I have enrolled for Verbal Live Prep , their sessions are really good.I'm still attending them . Rajat and Payal do a great Job. They are very focus and immediate in solving your queries.
Critical Reasoning course ,RC and Sentence Correction courses are beautifully compiled and improvements are visible after going through the sessions once. I recommend anyone who wants to improve his or her Verbal score to take this course. It will boost your GMAT score for sure. No second thoughts for this course.
I must thank e-gmat team for the Excellent course and support provided. Verbal was weak area because of Sentence Correction. I was practicing OG, kaplan and other courses, but was unable to improve in SC. At this juncue i came across e-gmat and an over-whelming response in GmatClub.com. Without any delay i wrote to e-gmat team and explained my situation in SC. They suggested me try the course for free and attend few webinars and take my decision. Gotta tell you the first SC webinar on SC was simply amazing and my doubts got clarified and purchased the VLP. VLP would be useful for people who are bored of reading and don't grasp he content. The video approach was very good and the pictorial way of teaching is phenomenal. For me, i could easily get what is being told with the help of pictures and audio.
Best about SC : Understand the meaning and meaning is everything to select correct answer choice.
Best about CR: Pre-thinking comes in real handy, but you gotta practice pre-thinking.
It's a great course, helps you in understanding the small details of how to break down a sentence and indentify errors.
I never knew that just by understanding the meaning of the sentence completely will help find the errors in the sentence so quickly.
The concepts for RC are wonderful, they help in quick analysis of the passage. Initially you make take time in following the process, but as you practice it, it becomes secoond nature to you.
Once you get the verbal concepts of e-Gmat cracking the verbal section is really not that difficult.
I really want to thank e-Gmat for making my life easy for GMAT verbal.
