Payal Tandon Reviews

Company: e-GMAT

“If you take on a task, give it your 200%, or else don’t take that task on at all”. This is what Payal often tells her students, her team members, and even her daughter.

A perfectionist to the core, she gives everything her best without cutting any corners. No wonder she has been a topper throughout her academics. She was the topper (the absolute topper, not just 99 percentile) in the 12th grade State of Haryana board exam taken by more than 1 million people.

Pursing her passion of making learning effective and enjoyable, Payal is constantly thinking of better ways to impart skills to people – whether it is how to read a passage more efficiently, how to deconstruct a sentence, or how to train other experts. At e-GMAT, Payal oversees curriculum development, expert training, and all operational activities. In a nutshell, she is committed to the success of all e-GMAT-ers.

E-GMAT verbal life is good but don't forget to put your efforts in doing the homework! The setup of the live class is convenient because they are all in the weekend. However, you need to sacrifice a lot of weekend time and rest time to devote your all into studying for the gmat. Egmat has good resources such as recorded videos of lectures, online lectures, and lots of practice questions for you to get familiar to the subject. The video can be long but if you pay attention and have done the homework before attending the live class, you will get a lot out of it. Remember though, do your homework for the old subject and more homework for the upcoming new subject. That's the only way that you can improve your performance.

I am an engineering graduate with decent quant skills. I have given GMAT once and scored 47 on quant. This has made me realise that quant cant be taken for granted. I was on a search for a quant course that would guarantee a jump and zeroed in on egmat after going through their verbal section.

the concepts are explained in a simple and efficient manner the tricks to solving the questions are something to learn. Overall the material is good with sufficient questions of varied difficulty to test your mettle. After going through the weak areas i have managed to score a consistent 50 in the mocks i am yet to give my GMAT.

I would recommend anyone to attend this course and bet that they should be able to score at their 90th percentile.

SC has been a problem for me. E-GMAT approach to logic is sound for not only the test prep but also for day to day usage. I had already referred few other recommended sources but they really did not help me in improving my SC accuracy rate significantly. I found many reviews for e-gmat's SC course that convinced me to sign up for the course.The most important thing about e-gmat is that: they claim their course is designed for non-natives. This fact drew my attention. I finally took the e-gmat Verbal Live Pre course. The interface is very clean; topics are well arranged. The interface tracks your progress. The explanation to each question is explained very methodologically. I really appreciate their efforts in building this excellent platform.

During 1st attempt,I have used Manhattan, Kaplan and Official guides for exam preparation.I couldn't perform well in the exam and my weaknesses were exposed especially in the Verbal section. Later, I've taken a long break without considering a next try for couple of years.However, I have been considering for a while to take GMAT again and finally decided at the end of 2015.

I was looking for Verbal courses and read reviews on GMATCLUB for each course provider. Without any hesitation, I signed up for e-GMAT Verbal course and they organized very well with the better content, at end of each topic testing the acquired skills, abilitiy quizzes and detailed explanation presented for all the questions on the platform. One best thing about the course, it comes with a better testing platform that features moderate to complex questions and explanations. I believe this course is a very valuable especially for those who are non-native English speakers and also weak in verbal section.

- SC course is designed structurally, nice approach used to tackle SC Questions by understanding the meaning of the sentence and eliminating wrong choices very easily. Concepts are taught at right pace in detail, provided better explanation and testing the skills with the help of Quizzes.If any concepts/explanations aren't clear, experts clear the doubts that are posted on the forum.

- CR course is very good with better explanations how to pre-think assumptions, understanding the nuances of argument and apply necessary skills to tackle variety of CR Questions.Quizzing platform is amazing with a mixture very hard to moderate questions and explanation for each question is awesome.

- RC course is alright with the lectures and ability tests.
- IR course is exhaustive and covered all possible types of Questions that may appear in official GMAT exam.Now, I've mastered this area with the help of e-GMAT Verbal course.Live sessions are amazing with better Q&A sessions and good interaction with the experts.

As per my experience with e-GMAT course, I've learnt detailed concepts, solid understanding of each section and equipped with the skills/tricks to perform well in the exam. I recommend this course for the aspirants who might be considering to take GMAT and also aiming for a best score.

I have been struggling with verbal for a long time. I would always get stuck between the two answer choices. Without a tutor I was finding it very difficult to know why a certain answer choice is incorrect. No matter how thoroughly I read the explanation it would not make much sense to me. However, my verbal understanding has improved dramatically, thanks to E-gmat. The way the tutorials have been broken down, it let's you master a topic at a time, and explains clearly what's the difference between a tempting answer choice and the correct answer choice.
I would 100% recommend the course, if verbal is what are you struggling the most.

For the quant, it's again a great program but more so for the beginners who need to brush up their basics. I use to teach voluntarily to the kids and I can assure you if you really want to strengthen your quant skills Egmat is way to go.

I have come across various prep methods for GMAT but undoubtedly E-GMAT is the most effective among all of them. Verbal proves a nightmare particularly for non-natives! E-GMAT's approach towards verbal is unique and powerful. Pre thinking is the single most helpful tool to approach verbal questions of any difficulty. Focusing on core skills eased my way through the difficulty levels of the questions. E-GMAT literally took the verbal fear off my mind. I am very confident to hit a good score in my next attempt. I would write a detailed debrief of my journey once I finish my GMAT.

Upset and frustrated, I started looking for online materials and based on the positive review, I enrolled myself for Quant Live course. I spent some time going through the material and really liked the way concepts were explained. The presentation format of the material really helps understand things faster. The internal forum is pretty active and answers your questions promptly.

I already feel the difference in my quant ability. I would be giving my GMAT again and hopefully these concepts learned from e-gmat will help improve my verbal score. I shall share my feedbakc once agin after my exams. Awesome

After going through all the positive reviews of the e-gmat verbal live prep course I enrolled for the course and I must say I started at a verbal score of 17 and the course helped me move to V32 in the actual exam the approach for the sentence correction is especially very impressive and in my opinion very helpful for the non natives. The sections on CR and RC were also very comprehensive and helped in understanding the format in which GMAT asks the questions. I would highly recommend this course in case you are a non native and are looking forward to increase your verbal score.

After taking this course, I was able to raise my verbal score from 29 to 38. I am not finished yet; I plan to take the GMAT again and I am confident I can break 40 this time.

My favorite thing about SC is the emphasis on logic and meaning. One can know all the grammar rules in the world; but without a heavy emphasis on meaning and logic, it would be very hard to ace SC.

My favorite thing about CR is the emphasis on pre-thinking. Once pre-thinking becomes a habit, all the mental friction will go away. Mental friction is your biggest enemy, because it will increase the amount of time spent on questions.

This course is relatively inexpensive, but it would pay huge dividend.

e-GMAT verbal prep offers a crisp mix of logic and rule-based teaching and it prepared me to answer the questions of sub 500 level as well as 700+ level without having to change the process. This helped me being structured in answering questions and saved precious moments which I could have lost if I didn't follow their step processes across SC, CR and RC.

While it took some time to get used to their processes, but once I mastered those, every single question became a cakewalk. I was able to increase by verbal score from 30 (in my first mock test) to 41 in my actual GMAT.

I would highly recommend Rajat, Payal and team to all the candidates out there, whether native or non-native.
