I used the e-GMAT course and was able to score 700 (Q50 V35). I took the e-GMAT SC course. It is a simply a perfect course. Its price is completely reasonable, and it really improves your SC abilities since it use several new concepts that I have never seen before. This course added another 20% to my sentence correction skills! I was introduced to this web site through one of my friends, claiming his 70% ability in SC improved to 90%, and I believe he was completely right! The course is really comprehensive, I could find out every necessary section in it.

e-GMAT uses a multimedia environment that makes it pretty easy to understand the tough problems of SC. One of main problems was that I am not native speaker; thus, I could not find out why some answer choices were FALSE AND WORDY despite being grammatically correct. This course helped me a lot since for each question it discussed each of 5 answer choices with regards to grammar and the intended meaning. Thank you e-GMAT

E-GMAT: an excellent course

I came across E-GMAT when I was reviewing various courses. It appeared to me that E-GMAt is the best option for non-natives. Before I signed up, I attended a couple of free sessions by Payal and Rajat. After attending these sessions and knowing their course fee, I was 100% sure to enroll for E-GMAT.

I have started learning various concepts of SC and found that it is much better than Manhattan SC in terms of clarification and description. After each lesson, you have to go through a quiz session to review your learning. It provides you rules but focus more on application of these rules. These aspects were very useful to me.

The course structure for SC is very practical and provides an opportunity to judge your level of learning. The course can be used at your own pace, I was traveling a lot early this year therefore unable to attend online sessions, however, recordings were available and the team was very helpful in answering any question I had. I have seen a drastic improvement in my verbal accuracy. I am hoping to have my exam in the next few weeks and my target is to reach 750.

VERBAL LIVE PREP

This course begins with basic level and moves to advanced level. The topics are classified as per the level of difficulty and have been split into Concept files, Application files, Practice files. All the files in this course are relatively short, lasting to 20-30 minutes.
SC : The focus is on understanding the meaning of the sentence first and strategy is to divide sentence into smaller parts. The answers might be grammatically correct but logically wrong. Only when the intended meaning of the sentence is clear, I can get to the correct answer.

CR : Strategy of pre-thinking is the key for CR. I just followed the pre-thinking process as taught and not only improved my accuracy but also my timing to answer CR questions.

RC: Strategy of passage summaries at various stages of reading the passage proves enough to answer the questions correctly.

The best part is Verbal Live Prep. The live sessions are easy to understand and they cover the more challenging problems. The live sessions are very interactive and give a chance to understand the thought process of the instructors on how to use the e-GMAT process to tackle hard questions. In addition to learning from the instructors, I also learn from other attendees as they give an idea about how many different ways one can think about a particular question type.

Also Online classes are best for those who work full-time. Even if you miss any class you can access the recordings or attend the next online class from another batch as they run simultaneous batches.

Grockit one year membership is free for with Live prep course and complement the e-GMAT course well as one can practice with large question bank with quizzes and tests .

I suggest e-GMAT to all students who are struggling with verbal . ESPECIALLY FOR NON NATIVES , The strategies taught are very helpful and if followed diligently will surely improve verbal scores.

I'm already seeing an improvement in my verbal accuracy and I am now constantly scoring around 35-38 in my mock tests. My GMAT is next month, and I will reach my target score of 40.

eGmat is the answer to my SC woes

I have been thinking of taking the GMAT for a long time(7 yrs), but work pressure, personal commitments keep getting in my way. I finally made a new year resolution and started researching all the courses/books. Initially I started with MGMAT SC book, but unfortunately I am not a very good text book learner. I have a very low attention span and start losing focus within 15-20 mins, additionally I start counting the pages that are left to complete a chapter, and then just give up on the efforts altogether. This added with constant work related travel every week and a very hectic project, I was miserable and was not making any progess.

I decided to purchase the eGmat Verbal live course after trying their trial videos. I was simply bowled over. This is the first time in my life, that I have seen boring academic content (SC and CR) explained in such a lucid and easy to understand manner.
The concepts are very clear and concise; its just with the right amount of detail and depth.I have never had a formal English Grammer Class. (Hindi was my first language) so the verbal side of the GMAT is my personal nemesis. However I actually feel that my confidence in SC and CR is increasing bit by bit everyday.

I would like to say here that the videos are excellent and makes me want to learn after a really long hard day, when studying from the books is a chore. The concepts especially the SC ones are really easy to understand and I find that the explanations and the application of rules to the actual questions is better than any gmat book. Also the emphasis on meaning of a sentence is something that I was not aware of earlier and hence was answering almost every question wrong in the GMAT diagnostic test. The quiz at the beginning of every module, ignites just the right amount of curiosity to deep dive into the concepts, and the quiz at the end reinforces the concepts and tells me how much I have really understood.

I wish I had begun my preparation earlier, but thoughts of Verbal always scared me.I have registered for my GMAT date in August, and hope to achieve a decent score.

Wish everyone all the very best in their GMAT prep.

I re-took GMAT and saw a 10 points improvement in my verbal score - V25 to V35
I must thank e-gmat team for its elaborate and strategic study materials that have greatly helped me improve my verbal score.

I found the course to be very scientifically constructed because of which the verbal concepts become very clear.
The strategies taught are very helpful and if followed diligently will surely improve verbal scores.

Shraddha , Payal and Rajat are very helpful and approachable .One can always reach out to them for questions , helps and tips.


I suggest e-gmat to all students who are struggling with verbal .

I signed up for e-GMAT verbal Live course late last year. I previewed several courses on the market and decided to go with e-GMAT considering the course content, teaching methodology and practice exercises. You can’t beat the price for the quality of the content you get. I’m very happy with the online content you get with the live classes. Each chapter has a quiz at the end which gauges your understanding of the topic. I felt more confident after each chapter and improved my scores after each test.

Live classes dealt difficult topics with much needed detail and the instructors concentrated more on the strategy rather than the quick short cuts. At times, I felt like the live classes were geared more towards students with prior preparation or test experience. I’d recommend smaller class size and more formal approach in the initial classes for students who start their prep with e-GMAT.

The instructors are awesome. I loved their classes on prethinking and exam preparation techniques.

The best thing that can happen to your Gmat Verbal prep-e-Gmat

This review is for:  e-GMAT Verbal Online | Location:   Online |
I gave Gmat twice, with scores of 670 and 610. I lost 60 points, all in verbal, in my second attempt. I ran out of all the resources; I solely depended on Manhatten SC for SC, Power Source CR Bible for CR and Manhatten RC for RC. Then I came to know about e-Gmat and bought its Verbal Onlline.

How e-Gmat changed my way of preparation?

The most important thing you get through SC course of Verbal online is the method of approach to get the right answer. They just don't give a bunch of grammar rules, but provide a systematic approach to tackle a problem. Even with CR and RC, the video's helped me to formulate particular strategy for particular problem. This changed the way i look at the questions.

Highlights of Verbal Online:

Sentence Correction:
*The course provides solid concepts. It was amazing that even after preparing from Manhattem SC there were so many concepts i was not aware of.

*The Gmat-like set problems after each concept will really help us to apply the concepts learnt

*Amazing level 3 questions. The level 3 questions are just the kind of questions we see in the real test.

*Emphasis on meaning. There are dedicated problem sets with emphasis on meaning of sentences.

*UGE questions. Extra practice questions in the form of UGE-User Generated Exercises, is very helpful.

Critical Reasoning:

I like the way how they divided the chapters and the sequence is pretty good too.
Especially the weaken, strengthen and assumption sections in CR are dealt in a precise manner with subdivisions and application files appropriately. I felt that if there were application files for method of reasoning and flaw in the reasoning, it would be good. Similarly more exercises at the end of the whole CR course would be an icing on the cake.

Reading Comprehension:

*The way they divided the course according to type of questions(detail qs, main point qs etc) is very fetching.
*The strategy suggested in the course to tackle an RC worked for me very well and i was able to increase my accuracy.
*There are Gmat-like practice problems at each level.

All in all. e-Gmat Verbal Course is a boon for all those struggling in verbal

After giving a couple of attempts at GMAT (650 and 680), I almost gave up on my GMAT and MBA dreams. After a couple of years, when I started considering an MBA once again, I wanted my preparation to be strong. I did not want to leave any loose ends in terms of my preparation. Last couple of times, Verbal pulled my score down and I did not want the same to repeat. After seeing a bunch of positive reviews about e-GMAT, I decided to give it a shot and ended up signing up for e-GMAT's Verbal Online course.

I had to learn to understand logic with sentences to begin with. And this is where I believe e-gmat helped me the most. Although, what they taught was not radically different, the visualization of how one should approached the CR problem helped me quite a bit. This process increased my accuracy and when I did take the GMAT again, after exactly two years, I ended up scoring 730 (Q50 and V38). A total improvement of 50 points in a span of 2 months.

As I start to write this review. I can recall the funny time I had last year when I came back after giving my first GMAT when I scored 22 in Verbal (total of 510). I frantically searched through various verbal courses and came across egmat. Their free trials were enough to get me hooked. They made verbal study a CAKE WALK. As I progressed with the course, I was actually seeing the difference in my approach and accuracy! Their SC course is mind blowing. Payal has probably a magic wand to break down the problem into more "understandable" chunks and extract every possible information/learning out... and rajat's CR tackling strategies are great. I was able to replicate the benefits of these 2 courses to RC. I was actually confident to handling Verbal in my second attempt.

Egmat has one of the best online response mechanism, they always made sure to revert asap. sometime in matter of couple of hours!

I wish them all the very best.. Oh, and my verbal score next time was 36! (I total of 14 points shot up) - - all credit goes to Egmat!

Try it folks...you ain't going to regret it!

I used the e-GMAT course and was able to score 730 (Q51, V35) and my accuracy in SC improved up to 85-90%. My accuracy in sets of SC questions varied between 40-95 %. I tried very hard to get some consistency but to no avail. I took e-GMAT’s SC course. This course completely changed my approach to SC. I have got to say, this is one killer course. I had done all the grammar rules, but it was like rule overkill for me. I was unable to concentrate. This course gave me a lot of direction. It taught me a concrete technique/approach to SC and immensely helped me improve my accuracy up to 85-90 %. While grammar rules are obviously very important, the approach to the questions can help improve accuracy as well as enable you to solve the question quickly. e-GMAT really helped me attain this. I also found the structure of the concept files very helpful. This course was a very good confidence booster. For all of you out there who feel their weakest section is SC, this course can do wonders.
