A year back ,i started thinking seriously about the GMAT.
The greatest struggle for me was verbal section as an non native speaker.
While i was doing self study ,I got correct answers more by intuition than by approach.

I lacked the right approach and focus on meaning on the SC questions.

I started looking for the test prep company and found the Egmat the best in the business.

After completing the online SC course my concepts expecially in SC significantly improved.

In addition scholarium has one of the bestquestions available for practise.

Would recommend this course as a must have to all those who are serious about getting a good GMAT score and to all those who are struggling with verbal section most.
You can make it possible with your dedication and with the help Egmat.

Gmat is something I am really scared now. I scored 500 GMAT in my last attempt and I got admitted into USF on condition if i again take GMAT and score minimum 550. I scored only 400 this time. the egmat material is very good but you need more time for a person like me. I think verbal I something very hard for me and I have seen on many occasions. Gmat is very hard for a person like me and i have tried so many times and i am very scared of GMAT.Egmat course won't make your work easy. It starts froms basics though but real time gmat exam is not something similar to egmat.

A year back ,i started thinking seriously about the GMAT. The greatest struggle for me was verbal section. While i was doing self study ,i got correct answers by intuition which made me even more dubious about my good score in GMAT. I started searching for good stuff and fortunately bumped into e-gmat review on gmat club.The gmat verbal online course provided me with a great base to start with. My concepts expecially in SC significantly improved. In addition Scholaranium helped in identifying weak areas and improve timing. Above all , the Scholaranium questions were pertinent to the actual GMAT test unlike those of many other online test preparation courses. The algorithms used in questions selection is great and just what the student required. This gave me the flexibility of choosing the right kind and number of questions as per requirement.

Would recommend this course as a must have to all those who are serious about getting a good GMAT score and to all those who are struggling with verbal section most.You can make it possible with your dedication and with the help of E-GMAT.

For the convenience of people reading this review, i have divided this review into 3 parts to help the reader form his/her own opinion.

Introduction- I am a working professional and i decided to give GMAT somewhere in July 2016. I work for a consulting firm and usually spend 9-12 hours at work, leaving me with very less time for studies at home. On a normal day i am able to devote only 2-2.5 hrs. to studies. Do you think its less ?.. Well for me it is! During my engineering i developed this habit of sitting for long hours and 2-2.5 hrs. didn't seem sufficient.

I got a dismal 650 on my first GMAT attempt and after that i decided to take a completely new approach towards prep. Verbal being the weak point i decided to try the E-Gmat verbal live prep course.

Features that I found most useful- The entire verbal curriculum is divided into 3 parts – SC,CR and RC and they provide you with a roadmap for your prep. Within every section every topic is further divided into small video modules followed by a few practice quizzes. Length of the videos usually ranges from 15-30 minutes max. Now as I said earlier after working 9-10 hours in office I use to find very less time left for studies at home (am sure a lot other working professionals must be facing the same problem), this division of entire syllabus into small modules solved my problem. You don’t need to spend more than 1-1.5 hrs. on any single topic. You might end up taking more time in your preparation since you’re spending only 2 hrs. a day, but trust me, going slow and steady is much better than completing the entire curriculum in 15 days and still be not clear with the basics.

Secondly, one of the most important aspects of GMAT prep, especially in verbal, is knowing why the right answer is right and why the wrong answer is wrong. E-gmat verbal live prep gives a very detailed solution to the problems and helps in developing a correct line of reasoning. I studied from books during my first attempt and no matter how good the books are, they never discuss the each answer in such detail.

Thirdly the scholaranium will help you find your Achilles heel. You’ll be able to find your grey spots after practicing only a couple of ques. Manually keeping an error log and bucketing the question under different sub topics are cumbersome and time-consuming tasks. Again as I said before, with only limited time for studies, scholaranium helped me save that crucial time.

Improvements- I have been preparing for gmat for past 3-4 months and with consistent efforts I have improved my verbal ability considerably. From not being able to solve even easy question to getting 700-750 level questions right. It all about having the right approach towards each question and that is what this course will help you develop. The right approach!

Before joining the Verbal Online prep, I took an official GMAT mock test. Being an engineer, I was always good at Quant and Verbal was always scary. This is what reflected in my mock test too; I scored 50 in Quant but just 30 in Verbal. This was the time for me to delve deep into introspection and to boil down to a game plan to achieve a 730+ GMAT score.

I started off by attending some free demo classes at some well-known coaching institutes, but honestly I realized after just 1 class at each of these that these are only good for an average score as the level of class material was too low. A friend recommended e-GMAT and I eventually bought the Verbal Online course. I think it was a great decision to go for this course. The highly interactive and fun videos in the course make sure that you can study even after 12 hours of work.

SC and CR were my biggest weak areas in Verbal; e-GMAT came as a savior. The way even difficult concepts have been structured and presented in videos is highly admiring. The topics are arranged in a fashion that makes it easy to assimilate. The practice provided in the course is brilliant and really makes you work on your concepts. The videos are short, concise and easy to comprehend. The explanations for all the questions are detailed and e-GMAT tutors made sure my questions were answered within minutes and with detail. "Pre-thinking" technique in CR truly needs a kudos. The RC videos were really helpful as well. e-GMAT provides you a number of key strategies that you must keep in mind while reading through RCs.

Scholaranium is really helpful as it helps to analyse your performance on timing and accuracy in different areas of verbal. The detailed analysis can then be used to focus on weak areas. Complete material of e-GMAT has been well strategised, defined and then laid out.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is struggling to attain a good GMAT score, and is particularly weak in Verbal.

I have an engineering background and thought that GMAT Quant part should be the easiest one for me, but on my first GMAT attempt I got Q46, which is less than I expected and than I need. To improve my score I had to find the right way to polish my quant skills and learn how to deal with complex questions. Addionally, I had an issue with timing and was looking for the timing strategies in quant part. I know that typically I grasp information much better when I study with tutor rather than on my own. Thus, I decided to find a platform that will give me a chance to get an access to live cources and an extensive set of questions for training.

I purchased e-GMAT course with an access to Online Live study. It worked out for me really well as there are multiple topics ciovered and I could find the ones I need. I participated in an online class dedicated to solving advanced math questions and then I took several classes on specific tipics where I felt myself weak - Number properties, Permutations and Combinations.
Features I liked the most
- The pace of live cource is just right to bring everyone onboard
- It's not just monolog of the tutor, but rather interactive discussion with the class
- Typically sessions are over the weekend, which was critical for me
Overall, I became much more comfotable with the quant part after this course. Somehow it even helped me to get rid of extra worry during the exam - I started percieve every math problem as an interesting task which can be approached rather than as an opportunity to ruin my final score.

Recently I retook the test and got Q49 :)

Sentence Correction has been my achilles in Sentence Correction.

I have always avoided studying SC, because I never knew where to start. In January I took my 1st Official test, 690 (Q46 V38) and although I am happy with the score, I know there is room for improvement.

I talked to my struggles to a current Haas student and he recommended to e-gmat. I decided to give the GMAT one more shot (looking to break 700) and enrolled in e-GMAT SC.

I like how the SC is organized, and the lessons seem intuitive and not that hard to follow. Spanish is my primary language, so my English fundamentals need practice.

My personal favorite feature is that each lesson is tied to real problems from the Original Guide, so as I'm learning new lessons, I feel more confident tackling real GMAT problems.

I recently took a GMAT Diagnostic test and got a 740 (Q49 V42). I credit e-gmat for breaking the V40 barrier. Over the Christmas break I'm going to re-watch the lessons to see how far more I can take my verbal score. I never thought that I could break V40, but now I can dream of getting a 43 or 44.

My GMAT journey started many years ago in 1997 when I sat the exam to attend graduate school to pursue my MBA and received a score of 520. I was excited because the school’s minimum score for acceptance at that time was 400. However, after pursuing my MBA (GPA 3.94), I took a break from studying but decided to sit my Certified Public Accountant (CPA) examinations and started studying again, sat and passed the exams in November 2003. I was (still am) a lecturer at one of the Universities in Jamaica and with teaching being my passion, my calling I got caught up with teaching and enjoying my teaching experience. However, I decided it was time to pursue my terminal degree (PhD in Accounting) and my GMAT journey started once more. I thought I could study for this exam on my own (although I had been out of school for quite some time) with books from publishers such as Barrons, Princeton, Kaplan, Manhattan, just to name a few. I sat the exam in July 2016 and was devastated when I received a score of 510 V27 Q36.
My goal was to start doctoral studies in September 2017 so I sat the exam again in February 2017 and received a score lower than the 510 that I had received in August and cancelled my score. My hopes of commencing studies in September were shattered. I realised then that I needed help and did a Google search and came across e-GMAT online courses and my GMAT preparation took a turn for the better. I knew about Manhattan online courses and the other online courses and read reviews about their courses but since their books were not helping I did not bother to try their courses.
I read reviews upon reviews about e-GMAT and how its verbal (my weakness was GMAT verbal. I dreaded all three sections especially SC and RC. I just did not like those reading comprehension passages. I needed a reading strategy) helped students improved their verbal score and so decided to give it a try. I registered for their GMAT online courses in March 2017 (Quant. and verbal) and my GMAT experience has not been the same since. Their verbal online videos bring home the material and content in such a way that I wished I had found this review course many months ago. The RC videos and its strategies on how to ace RC passages turned my fears into hopes.
My studies were disrupted though for a few weeks when my father passed in July from the Big C but despite the sad times I continued my studies.
The verbal videos explain the content so even someone who has been out of school can understand and relate to the material. The videos are absolutely awesome. The ability quizzes are a gem. They are helping me to build my confidence and also to manage my time in answering questions. I have seen my accuracy level moved from in the 30%, 40% to 100% on some quizzes.
So far I have no regrets in choosing e-GMAT and I know with continued preparation I will achieve my target score of 770.

Earlier I had tried multiple of GMAT preparation courses and material but was not able to excel in the test as attempted GMAT once in 2015 and was only able to manage 550 (Q48 and V19). As you can see I was really poor in Verbal. And that came to me as a biggest fear as how to overcome this. And as because of that GMAT was one of the huddle which I was struggling to cross till I came across the e-GMAT Online course which was a best decision I have ever made till date.

I was good in quants but the verbal was really effecting my overall score and e-GMAT course came as a saviour for me. First, I got to know about e-GMAT course while I was browsing through the GMATCLUB website and thought of giving a try as they were offering the Free Trial to see if it’s really worth taking up the course. So, in the free trial I was able learn those aspect of Verbal which I did not know early and it offered a systematic approach of how to address a particular type of question in GMAT. And as I was able to gain and was getting the right approach, I made my final decision to taken up the GMAT ONLINE course offers as I want to learn in my own convenience without any time constrain. And the best thing about the purchase was the 7 days money back guarantee. After the purchase, I followed the provided study plan provided by e-GMAT. I would stay up till late night, watching the videos. They were light and helped me clear up my concepts very well. For each concept, I use to make notes while watching videos as that not only helped me revise, but also create a handy notebook for me to skim through while I was analysis my errors. This tip helped me a lot and I would really recommend it to you all as well.

About the approach of the course, it is very innovative but most importantly structured. The idea of application files and concept files helps grasp the crux of the all the Concepts specifically in Verbal section of SC, CR and RC. With a whole host of practices and their detailed analysis helps is finding the real problem in the approach and helps in rectifying then with the further practice sessions. Now I am able to attempt a SC question in an around 1-1.5 mins.

In the CR section the concept of pre-thinking seemed very obvious to me but the application was just as difficult. However, adopting the step-by-step e-GMAT strategy I was able to get to a proper structured approach to CR questions. What I found excellent were the solutions CR questions and the methodology use in approaching the CR questions which gave the real understanding of how to attempt a CR question and help me to easily eliminate the wrong answer choice, which I think gave me a confidence boost to score well in CR section. 

The RC videos were really helpful as well. e-GMAT provides you a number of key strategies that you must keep in mind while reading through RCs. The two strategy that worked wonders for me were, first - "to get immersed" – with each passage I was able to say "Oh! this sounds interesting, lets read what happens next!" I use to summaries each paragraph in RCs passage to get the GIST of each paragraph and for the overall summary of the passage on a regular basis and was thereby able to get all my main point and structure questions right and reading to the context of the passage and not getting bog down to an unknown word which help me built a better faster way to attend the topic given. These strategies seem very time consuming in the beginning, but found within no time, you start to internalise them and able to reduce the time in RC sections.

Additional Master comprehension course built the foundation for me to have a systematic approach to attempt the verbal section in total as it helps a lot of how to go thought the each provided passage or a sentence without being lost.

And finally, the best thing about e-GMAT course is the Scholaranium. Customized practice tests are excellent both in terms of quality of the material and quantity. Question are optimized to make the candidate be extra-ready for the exam level questions. It is a great tool through which you can take 'Verbal Ability' tests to identify your weak areas and then selectively work on them using e-GMAT's 'custom quiz' option. Once you have mastered those areas you can again take an 'ability quiz' to gauge your progress. In total Scholaranium has a total of close to 750 questions from which you can take customized quizzes. From the day, I started practicing on e-GMAT Scholaranium, I developed a habit of taking a 10 CR, 10 SC, 4 RC test for sure! I witness a huge impact both in terms of accuracy and speed. I have been able to improve my overall accuracy from 40% to 87%. Answer explanations are also great which helped me in areas where I was making repeated mistakes. I am working on right now achieve a 96% accuracy which will be a great achievement for me as my GMAT test is due in next 30 days.

Thank you e-GMAT for the course as it is really helping me to be prepared for the GMAT test and achieve my desired score of 700+. With this I will have only thing to says that e-GMAT courses are the best and I hope whom so ever is reading my review will be motivated and make the rightful selection in choosing a course as I did.

I will be uploading my final review and GMAT results after 16th with additional information regarding my preparation next time.

Please wish me luck for my GMAT test. And all the best to you all who are aspiring for MBA and preparing for GMAT!!
