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.

This review is regarding my experience and learning through verbal live prep.This course focus on special area and helps to improve not only the accuracy but also the ability.I started my journey where I scored V17 and after 2 months of verbal online course my score hit V31.i would recommend verbal live course to anyone who is dreaming his or her Gmat score.I would highly recommend sentence correction to everyone who are looking to achieve accuracy for more that 90%.Live webinars helps to know the reason for your score pleatue and enhances your skill to move further.
I started my prep by Manhattan series books. For a month, I had no clue what am I supposed to do with all this information. It was so frustrating that even after spending hours reading the book, i was not able to solve the questions properly. I mean, even if I could solve some of the questions, I wasn't confident enough.
Finally one fine day, I heard about e-GMAT from one of my colleague. After browsing through the site, I thought of attending one of the free webinar. It was so amazing, so interactive and the best part, none of the questions from the students were unanswered. I immediately enrolled and started my prep once again.
The most important thing that you get when you start the course is confidence. The courses are very structured. The 3 step approach is the main thing. If you make it a point to solve all the questions using this mantra, you can solve any question. I think this is the only course that actually offers a formula to solve RC questions.
Although I didn't score really good but that was majorly because of my quant score. I only studied for quant for a week and that too I didn't practice that well. But I had a 10 point improvement in Verbal. Overall, I think anyone who wants to write GMAT and is not really good at reading and comprehending, they should definitely try this course.
The E-GMAT quant is a comprehensive course which again just like the verbal course teaches you right from the basics. I was really weak in Number Properties and certain topics of Algebra but this course has helped me with certain tips and tricks which help me reach the solution faster.
The solutions are very detailed and the approach used in DS questions in commendable. The DS approach helps you have a standardized way of approaching questions and also helps you already come closer to the answer before reading the statements.
The instructors are very active on the forums to help students. I would really recommend this course to anyone looking for a comprehensive quant course.
The course content of e-gmat live prep is very detailed and comprehensive. Trust me you don't need anything else to ace verbal, provided you follow up the processes and the course structure religiously. I just used the course material, OG and Gmat prep tests for my preparations, nothing else. The meaning analysis in SC, Prethinking in CR and "how to do active reading" in RC will help tremendously. Their explanation of OG questions is very thorough and detailed. Apart from that, the scholaranium tool is extremely helpful for practice. It provides detailed analysis of all solutions and gives an insight into one's weaknesses in various areas. Their support staff and the tutors are extremely responsive and knowledgeable. The live sessions, which happen during weekends are awesome. The class videos and webinar sessions are very good in audio and video quality.
I have been fighting with the GMAT prep for a long time now. The first time I decided to think about GMAT was in December 2015. I had some lapse in my project and I wanted to engage my self in something interesting. Also I was feeling stagnated in my career. So the obvious choice for an IT professional with 11 years experience - an International MBA - a move I figured would give my career a push. Anyway getting back to the topic of GMAT, when I read about it and attempted a few questions, I realized that this is a serious exam and needed dedication and good amount of prep but for me personally I needed help as my verbal was very bad and quant was just ok but not where I thought I was at start.
Well since I am a pretty lazy guy, I always need a target before me to help me focus and prep (Well it worked for me for my certification exams.. so figured it was my way for GMAT as well).
I started with an classroom program locally but I soon realized that they are not going to get me there. I practiced hard but some how never managed to go beyond 600 in the mocks and my nemesis as per analysis was SC. So started searching online how can I get better and stumbled upon a free webinar from e-GMAT. I enrolled it instantly and I was blown away with the approach they took and recommended. I immediately decided to try their SC course as I thought if I can fix SC verbal would take care as I was doing decently in CR and RC and Quant was decent as well. Since my GMAT exam was already booked and I was slated to fly out for 2 months just after my exam for business, I decided to take the exam completing only 80% of SC. To my horror my actual GMAT score turned out to be 540 (Q39 V24). I was disappointed and went back home and ordered the ESR from GMAC. When I got my report I found that I had done the best in SC. My SC was way ahead of all other sections in Verbal. That is when I realized how good e-GMAT course was and how it had built my basics. I decided to attend the free CR and Number Properties webinars to check if those modules were taught the same way as SC. Once I attended these sessions, I was pretty convinced that I this course will help me get a good score. I enrolled in Live Prep Classes. The best part is whatever Rajat Sadana says in the intro of the free sessions about e-GMAT course almost all is true (well about the improvement for re-takers will verify once I take again the actual GMAT again) but if proof is needed, I have just finished CR modules of the course due to my hectic work and my basics in these have become so solid that, I am already scoring 640 in my mocks with a V30.. something which I was not able to do so earlier and this has led me to believe that come March next year, I will be ready to take the GMAT challenge head on and score a 700+. Also what e-GMAT offers is a great set of tutors in Rajat, Payal and Neeti (have interacted with only these so far) and there customer support is pretty good (just wish that they can improve the turn around time on queries which sometimes takes longer than expected). All in all I surely recommend anyone like me to surely take the Verbal prep live as it is flexible, thorough and yet affordable and gives you the confidence by helping you focus on the basics and processes that even on tough questions the correct answer just stands out.
I found egmat's verbal program to be very effective and hence I signed up for their quant course too. As expected, the quant program was just as good.
1. It exposes you to a huge variety of good questions (some much tougher than the GMAT). In the process, you develop the confidence to crack anything.
2. The questions are solved in a very structured manner. The concepts are explained well in a detailed fashion. There are self-assessments to identify strengths and weaknesses followed by the course, concepts, and multiple quizzes.
3. It comes with a detailed timetable. Hence it makes one very focused throughout the process of preparation. It helps to stay in control.
4. Like the verbal course, the learning is very visual and engaging and hence retaining the concept in memory also becomes easy.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!
I joined egmat for their course after a recommendation for Verbal for nannatives esp SC. The level of difficulty of the SC question is notch higher than GMAT. The approach taught and pratice has helped me to avoid most of my mistakes. I feel much relieved after practicing and applying strategies from the live prep sessions. Now, I am getting confidence in my SC, CR section with their sessions. I would recommend it for all who have verbal issues especially with SC. CR and RC is also very good. And practice from the sessions helps gain mastery over the topic. I am very happy with my choice.

The course has a nice flow, starts from the basics and leads up to complex problems.
Each module helped me gain in depth knowledge about the language and was a stepping stone towards a good GMAT score.
After taking the course, i feel more confident about myself with the verbal section of the GMAT.
I would highly recommend this course, specially for students whose first language is not english. The course has a nice flow, starts from the basics and leads up to complex problems.

its a great course that deals with all the essential concepts from the most rudimentary and basic level of understanding. This makes sure that you have the sound fundamentals required to build upon and pace through the preparation upon completion of the required materials.
This i believe is a great tool that one should have for their preparation of their sometime daunting experience of going through the preparation and the exams.
i would recommend that you use the eGMAT Verbal Live feature and course available within your study schedule and plan for giving the gmat exam.
like many other things, this is not the most ideal in terms of the technology its based out. the videos are presented at the very basic level and deal with the core concepts that are required for the exam. but the price point they offer is phenomenal and must to have for the preparation of a key exam that can change one's life.
