Hello Everyone,
I am a non-native English Speaker who has started preparing for GMAT just over a month back. I had purchased the
magoosh courses after reading the reviews and finding it most cost efficient.
But these days I am coming across quite a few debriefs of 700+ scorers(Non-native speakers) who aced verbal and found
eGMAT courses very helpful.
I am left wondering should I also opt for
e GMAT Verbal course. will it make much difference as compared to
Magoosh.
TIA
Hi nishitraj,
Both the courses are very good and will certainly help you improve your scores. If you feel you are not achieving your target score, you can consider the
E-gmat course.
e-gmat verbal online or the
e-gmat verbal live course are both amazing courses especially designed for non-natives. They offer almost 25% of their courses for free so you can try out their free trial to decide which one you want to go for. Plus the
e-gmat Scholaranium which is included in both the courses is one of the best verbal practice tools in the market. You can easily track your progress in that you can identify your strengths and analyze and improve on your weak areas.
I must add that if you are particularly looking to discover and improve on your weak areas in quant; a subscription to
GMATCLUB tests is the best way to do that. They are indeed phenomenal and will not only pinpoint your weak areas but also help you improve on them.
Further taking multiple mocks might help. Apart from the GMATPREP,
Manhattan GMAT tests and Veritas Prep Tests in my experience have good verbal and Quant section and will certainly help you point out and improve your weak areas.
Further another advantage of taking many mocks is to build up your stamina. Apart from the GMATPREP tests, taking practise tests of any major GMATPREP company ought to do that.
I would also encourage you to purchase the latest version of
OG and the verbal review for some great additional practice. Here is a link that will help you with your decision.

Magoosh detailing a 3 month study plan
https://magoosh.com/gmat/2012/3-month-g ... -students/. You will find it very helpful as it gives out a study plan as per your needs.
Hope this helps. All the best.
