This is the best course to start from the scratch, nice content, ease of use and with lot of practice. I highly recommend this courses. Earlier, i spent too much time learning so many grammar rules.
For RC, I couldn’t comment too much on it, as I believe for this particular section everyone’s reading strategy will be different. A thing to note is that there are a couple videos where we can follow the reading and thinking process of the instructor in answering the questions, and I believe these videos were pretty helpful.

Also-prethinking helps a lot to stay focused all the time

If you are reading this post of mine, I might strongly assume that you are aspiring to take the GMAT exam & indeed hoping to crack it. Before you start reading this , let me tell you, confusion regarding how to start, which course to take is natural, but if you are confused whether to take the e-GMAT Verbal course, don't be any more --you are at the right place. I had been in your shoes 6 months back when I joined e-GMAT. After a lot of struggle, finally I had made up my mind to take the GMAT exam within 2 months. My target was a score of 760 so that I can apply & get selected in Stanford last round this year itself (after all, what's wrong in dreaming) After doing a lot of research, taking suggestions from friends & colleagues & going through the reviews at GMAT club & across the Internet, I managed to confuse myself to the best of my abilities regarding which course to register for - e-GMAT or GMAT-pill. I got few negative feedback as well which only succeeded in adding to my confusion. After pondering for 2 days, I decided to attend my first e-GMAT free live session. The session was on CR Pre-thinking & absolutely clean bowled was I! Approx. 150 plus students had joined the session & I was amused by the way each & every questions were handled by the e-GMAT teachers. I believe that it was a life-changer for me as it made me take one of the most important decisions of my life --buying the e-GMAT Verbal Live Prep course (the dream began to take shape!).
The very first thing I would like to mention regarding the Verbal Live Prep (there's also another Verbal course called Verbal Online) is that the content is huge -- and as they rightly claim - You don't need any other resource. Honestly, if you complete the course, study materials & attend the live classes & religiously follow all the instructions regarding studying & application & attending OG questions, you really DO NOT need any other resource. Atleast, I didn't.
The CR classes are mind-blowing, all the teachers are amazingly student-friendly, especially Shradhha is awesome. When Shraddha taught, she never looked at the watch and would continue to explain until all portions were crystal clear. She exceeded the time limit of 2 hours each time and each of her classes were outstanding. This If you are starting afresh for the GMAT journey, these live sessions really get you on track. The SC course is amazing as well; however my score has been a bit less in this section since I was unable to imbibe the process of breaking a sentence into its clauses & following the subject-verb agreement, meaning analysis rules in those chunks. It was taking me a lot of time to internalize the process & as I was in a hurry to take the GMAT exam to be able to apply by March, I decided to skip that method. I believe my score of 38 in Verbal is due to this issue.
The RC course is also quite good & together with the live classes & proper step-by-step guidance to solve the OG questions(video solutions to OG questions), the Verbal Live prep is sensational. I took the Official GMATPrep tests and scored 720 in each of them. Finally, I took my GMAT in March 2016 after studying for around 2 months & scored 720. I researched a lot regarding application to top B-schools with this score & also discussed with a Consultant, who has suggested me to improve my score to a 760 in order to dream BIG. When I informed e-GMAT regarding this & said that I am planning to take the GMAT exam again soon & requested them to extend my course, Rajat has promised me to extend the course for 3 months free of cost. In today's age of cut-throat commercialization, I was pleasantly surprised to see such friendly & non-commercial approach, where the extension was not charged for.
I strongly recommend this e-GMAT Verbal Live Prep course to anybody who wants to conquer the GMAT. Last but not the least, one thing I would like to mention regarding the 4 point score improvement guarantee of e-GMAT. Since I started preparation, I had been scoring approx. 32 to 34 in all the mock tests & practice quiz. However, once I completed the e-GMAT course, my Verbal score has improved to 38 in the actual GMAT exam. In fact, I had scored 38 and 40 in verbal in GMATPrep1 and GMATPrep2 respectively. I strongly believe that next time when I will be taking the GMAT again, if I can follow the e-GMAT techniques religiously, I will definitely be able to score 42+ in Verbal which will definitely help a lot in transforming my dream of getting into an elite business school into reality. I will definitely come back with another post after the re-take to inform if I did succeed and that day, my review will be a lengthier one, that's for sure! Stay tuned & all the very best!:-)

Couple of key points need to be reiterated before I start (Did not take these into consideration for the initial 2 mocks):
1. Do not ignore the Official guides, they are extremely helpful.
2. Do not go without giving proper mocks
3. Ensure you're able to function at 100 % during the examination hours

For the course review, I want to highlight that this course is going to be extremely helpful to you in case you're a non-native speaker and verbal is your achilles heel. This was the case for me and my fundamentals for grammar were extremely weak (specifically SC). The 1st GMAT ESR report confirmed the same, that is, my weak areas were DS in Quants and SC in Verbal. For sentence correction, I needed a course that I could do on my own (full time job with variable timings across regions makes it really difficult to join a course and weekends are sometimes working as well). This is where E-GMAT Verbal Online course came in to the picture with the excellent reviews and the option of being completely online which enabled me to complete the course in any way I wanted.

The course is very well structured and covers the basic fundamentals. It also ensures that students are aware of the correct methodology to solving problems and how we can bucket these into various types. After a topic is covered, it has a set of relevant OG questions for the topic. This was the best approach because I was extremely confident of tackling SC questions in the scholaranium as well as the mocks I gave post completion of any SC section.

Honestly, a 110 point improvement was more than what I had expected, which was primarily due to the:
1) interactive nature of the course
2) In-depth explanations provided
3) Quality of questions
4) Flexibility of creating our own tests by
a. Level of difficulty
b. Topics, and
c. Time limits (among other things).
These were further complimented by the dashboard summary which proved to be extremely helpful to me in tracking what was pending for me to tackle.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is looking for an improvement in Verbal section (SC, CR and RC). The prethinking approach to CR questions is also quite good and ensures maximum efficiency and accuracy while solving CR questions.

I had heard about egmat from one of my friends and i subscribed for the same last year from october 2015 to October 2015. Initially i subscribed for Quant and verbal live but when i attended their 1st live class on CR, I opted for just the video sessions, not the LIVE ones. I did not find the LIVE class adding much value, but yes it indeed takes a lot from your pocket. The reason why i don't reccomend going for LIVE is that for the first 15-20 minutes, its just the egmat advertisement and for the next hour or so the instructor just read out whatever is written on the PDF. there are around 100 students (less or more) in that class, obviously the instructor cannot answer to their questions too. So what's the point? I mean just simply share the PDF, and i will go through it, joining class does not make any sense. talking about their quant, I will never ever reccomend it to anyone. buying quant subscription from egmat was the biggest mistake of my life. their quant starts with very basic, which is good but then there is a drastic jump to the level of question they present to you. That gap between the course content and the question, actually makes you feel like your quant level is 0 rather -ive. atleast in my case , i will say that it deteriorated my confidence a lot. "a lot" means A LOT!! so please don't go for egmat quant.

I am an engineering student and I always believed that quant should not be any problem for me at all and it is my strong section, after working for 6 years it is bit rusty but would be fine if I work upon it, Unfortunately, I was wrong, my way of approaching questions was very time consuming and I totally forgot some of the important topics like probability, inequality ,stats then e-gmat quant came to my rescue and helped me with some of the rust basics to hard problems of 700 level, I am pretty sure with the amount of topics they have covered it would be sufficient for my quant prepration.

I am a Non Native and like majority of the Nonnatives I was also struggling with my Verbal section of GMAT, I never used to pick right answer for right reasons and always believe in those options which sounded correct to my ears and wasn't bothered about subject verb, modifiers, idioms etc.
I was always struggling to pick correct answer, then one day my friend suggested me to go through E-gmat videos and I was awestruck with their approach, I liked their 3 step process - (Analysis of Meaning, Sentence Structure, Options Analysis), their unique way of breaking the complex sentence into small parts suddenly allows you to see small details like subjects, verbs, modifiers, parallel components, etc.
E-gmat Verbal online course with live prep course is great, the beauty about live prep is that if somehow you have missed the live course you can always visit the recordings and ask your doubts from experts.I would definitely recommend the verbal online course along with Live-prep course especially for the nonnatives.

The course is very structured and guide u step by step in strengthening your core concept especially in SC.

the Scholaranium is a great tool as well! it helps me identify my weakness and focus on the part where i really need instead of buying a new book and just go over the same thing. It also allows u to make notes on each questions or sections where it is needed and come back to review those notes when it is needed.

Overall, very useful and helpful platform for those who wants to improve their score and get ahead of the gmat.

I would strongly recommend the Egmat Verbal Live Prep for Sentence Correction, CR and RC sections. The course covers all concepts required for SC in particular very clearly. It also does good justice to the CR and RC concepts that will be tested on the GMAT. After completing the course, I would recommend that you develop a strategy that really works best for you to solve questions right in time( e.g. the way you read and work logically towards a solution may be unique and trying to adapt too much to some other way may reduce your speed and accuracy--I have found this to be true irrespective of the test prep company in the picture) . You will need to practice doing the questions quickly and naturally on your own after the concept building part from egmat. The people at egmat are very helpful and provide free extension services if your situation is genuine useful! The scholaranium is very good for identifying your weaknesses and targeting your preparation accordingly. I found the egmat verbal workship extremely useful as well - this is an excellent gauge of where you stand on the actual test with respect to score and difficulty. I believe it is the best prep source out there for non-native english speakers in particular!

E-GMAT course is the best course I have encountered till date for GMAT preparation. For my first attempt, I took another company's course and was pretty much confident about verbal score. However, I ended up with V28 and was bewildered. Thereafter, I took the E-GMAT Verbal course and it did wonders. In my second attempt, I scored V39. The basic difference between e-GMAT and others lies in its teaching pedagogy. e-GMAT focusses on the meaning of the sentence. This in turn helps to mark the answers more accurately and sensibly in all the 3 types: CR,SC, and RC. e-GMAT verbal not only teaches english for GMAT but also is a very good tool for a good english. I would definitely recommend this course for every non-native as well as native speakers. ITS A TOTAL VALUE FOR MONEY!!

I've started my preparation 1.5 years back and with online series . But I was not regular in my preparation and in between took many breaks. My aim was to achieve 700+. In quant, I reached to 48 but in verbal, able to achieve on 28. After an year, with that preparation I gave GMAT and scored only 660 with only 33 in Verbal. Then after a lot of feedback and online reviews, I took the egmat Verbal online course and started with all the video lectures. This course is the immense important tool to clear the basics and get into the minute details of Verbal. In CR as well, the prethinking technique given by egmat is of immense help to me. My correct percentage has already gone up. The strategy for RC questions also has given me a confidence in attempting short as well as long passages. Then comes the scholarium that I still need to complete. The scholarium is key USP of egmat course and is a helpful tool in achieving high score. I've renewed again egmat so that I can cover all the scholarium tests. I believe if anyone goes through egmat online course word by word, he/she will definitely achieve 38+ in Verbal. Hoping for me as well
