I am a non-native English speaker and verbal section was my weak area. After several months of preparation I scored a 660 (v31, Q49) on GMAT. I felt like the score didn't do justice to my preparation and I could do better. I prepared for another 3 months and this time focussed exclusively on verbal. I used MGMAT, Official guides, Kaplan, PowerScore, GMAT club verbal guide, and various resources in GMAT club for my preparation. I thought I was well prepared this time, but I wasn't. When I was attempting SC, I had no idea what the question was trying to test me on. RCs on exam were so much more difficult than what I practiced. I would read the passage, not grasp much, re-read it, this time feeling tensed and not grasp much either. I would continue in this loop until I was panicking and feeling frustrated on why the passages were so difficult. I scored another 660 (v28, Q51 ). In spite of preparing verbal exclusively I actually scored lower. At this point anyone would realize he needs help, but not me. After another 8 months I started preparing for GMAT again. Long story short I prepared for another 3-4 months (pretty much only verbal) and scored 650. I wanted to give up but at this point I had nothing to lose in giving another attempt. So I decided to take classes from E-GMAT.
I chose E-GMAT because I went through several articles on GMAT club by Payal and Shraddha during my verbal preparation and really liked their approach. I could only spend 2 months for preparation before my next attempt.
In these 2 months I learnt more than what I learnt in 2 years since I started preparing for GMAT. I considerably changed my approach in all three sections on verbal. Scholaranium is the best resource for practice that I have seen so far. The RC passages were as difficult as I found in the exam. I scored 700 in my next attempt. I am happy with my score, but just regret not having registered sooner to E-GMAT. I can't help but think that I might have scored better had I spent more time using E-GMAT for my preparation.

The E-GMAT course is very efficiently designed to cater to the Verbal section, especially for non-natives. I especially liked their SC section which is extremely comprehensive. The strategies mentioned in the CR and RC sections are equally important and beneficial. I found the CR course to be the best compared to other Test prep companies.
The Scholarium section helps you test the concepts you learn in the course. Scholarium is adequately designed to give a comprehensive analysis of the errors you make and help you test your Ability and Accuracy while solving the questions. Overall, an excellent course which one must have to mange your GMAT preparation.
English is my second language and I really recommend this product for anyone who is planning to take GMAT and English is not their first language for them.
There are many examples that make you familiar with the GMAT tests.
The RC section is really helpful. It covers all the details and give you a great perspective of what you might see in the GMAT.
I also love the scholaranium. It really helped me to be more focus and improved my RC and SC abilities. The scholaranium helped me to improve my time management and answer the verbal section in the specific time frame.
I was struggling a lot with sentence correction in the verbal section of the GMAT. The e-gmat course manages to cover concepts which other courses dont normally cover, and forces you to apply the rules methodically through the e-gmat process (for example, most people dont realize that -ing and -ed modifiers can modify both nouns and verbs!). The CR and RC preparation is also quite good, and in many cases is harder than the real thing (forcing you to prethink/read passages with detail before answering the questions). Would recommend to anyone as part of their preparation to break the V40 barrier.
Hello everyone. I am here today to share my ongoing GMAT preparation experience with Egmat. I got to know about Egmat through GMAT Club. I particularly liked the way in which information and resources are presented on the site, and I was convinced within minutes to sign up for its verbal course. Egmat is helping me in providing me all the necessary concepts and strategies to be confident with my GMAT preparation. As we all know our success entirely depends on how much time we have on your hands to invest in the goal, but for me it all boils down to how effectively we use our time. From the get-go, I focused mostly on the verbal and started with the absolute basics. Within a couple of weeks things looked better and topics started making sense to me. Earlier I always get the cold feet with the verbal question during the mock, but later I started getting the gut feeling that I know this question.
One strategy I am following diligently in SC that first understand the meaning.In any scenario, I will not look the options before analyzing the original sentence. Similarly, in CR my first stand will be to identify the conclusion and connect it with other pieces in the argument. For RC I am just following the read and solve approach. The video lessons on Egmat are pretty helpful on this count. I am very grateful to Shradhha, Payal, Krishna and Neeti for helping me out with my doubts. Thank you Team
20 Days before the exam, I still had very low confidence on my accuracy in Sentence Correction.
Even though I had read the Manhattan SC book and learnt some concepts, I was not able to apply these learnings while practicing Official Guide Questions primarily because of its lack of practice questions similar to OG.
I also felt that concepts taught in the Manhattan SC book were a bit easier than those tested in Official Guide, though the explanations were very clear and I felt I learnt a lot from the book.
Confident that my SC prep was not upto the mark, I started searching for online resources.
Trying to save some money, I collected all the SC PDF's available on gmatclub forum. I eventually (2-3 days later) realized that even though the free resources had good material, I found myself reading a new doc every few hours and was unable to focus on one. At the end of 2-3 days, I realized I had not learnt anything concrete.
This was an unnecessary wastage of time and I quickly decided to buy a good course to help me focus on only 1 source of learning. Going through the reviews, it was clear that e-GMAT verbal is amongst the best, and definitely the best for non-natives. Without thinking twice, I subscribed for the Sentence Correction course (which was available individually at that time).
I decided to devote one complete week (of the 18 days remaining) to e-GMAT sentence correction. I found the course extremely helpful. All the concepts were very clearly explained and all the edge cases were covered too. Their 3 step approach helps you in breaking down a long sentence in smaller easy to understand part. This was an extremely helpful technique.
The practice quizzes and questions were really good and of the level of Official Questions.
One word of caution, when I was following the course I was practicing questions topic by topic. Hence they are a bit easy to solve because you know what type of error is going to be in the question. Even thought the course always advises to use the 3 step approach, I felt it is not possible to do this when you are trying to quickly solve these questions ( or maybe I had little time to internalize this approach).
Hence I will advise to keep some time to solve official question, after getting done with the E-gmat course. With the concepts taught, it is possible to get at least 90% accuracy depending on the time and efforts one puts.
Overall, it proved extremely helpful to me, even in the short time span of 3 weeks and helped me get 730 (V:40).
I found the course content and course structure very well organized and super helpful. Super work!!!
I felt so confident in CR section after going through the e-gmat content that now I can easily solve 11-12 questions correctly out of 13. The SC video explainations are superb and thorough. This is the best staring point in your gmat prep journey.
The scholarium questions are also very good to practice and build on your concepts. They have a good number of questions on all the sections of GMAT. The analytics of the performance also helps in understanding the weak areas.
I would strongly recommend this product to all my friends and Gmatclub friends.

I have started my GMAT Prep before 7 month.Initially when i was looking for some material to study, however it was really confusing.My initial score was 470 as well.I had a feelng like i cannot improve on my quant score however i was really wondering on RC ,CR and SC with pretty average application skill.
Then, my friend introduced me to e-GMAT and I cannot thank him enough for having done that. After a 6 month long break, I felt the need to go over SC and CR concepts as well and the videos provided by e-GMAT made them a whole lot of fun. I would stay up till late night, watching the videos, almost like I'd be watching movies. They were light and helped me brush up my concepts very well. I had read someone's review about making handwritten notes while watching videos and then transferring those onto notepad at the end of each day as that would not only help you revise, but also create a handy notebook for you to skim through while you're on the move. This tip helped me a lot and I would really recommend it to others as well.
The CR and RC videos were really helpful . e-GMAT provides you a number of key strategies that you must keep in mind while reading through the arguments. The one strategy that worked wonders for me was "to get immersed" in everything. These strategies seem very time consuming in the beginning, but within no time, you start to internalise them.
The other thing that I absolutely loved about the VLP was the scholaranium. Since I knew that RC and SC was my weak point, I had decided to do atleast 4 passages every day, along with 20 SCs and 20 CRs. I am yet to give my GMAT now which is already scheduled on August 21st. Now I am feeling confident and hope to get a score more that 700 .
Thank you e-GMAT once again and thanks to all those who read my review till the very end. I hope I was able to motivate a few of you out there like me, who may have totally given up on verbal.
All the best to you all !!

I had taken GMAT in October 2016 and got an overall score of 680(Q50, V32). I must say that the improvement on my score should be attributed to the way e-GMAT kept me confident and comfortable throughout my preparation.
When I took my first mock from GMATPrep, I ended up with a score of 600(Q-50, V-22), which highlighted my weakness at key concepts in SC and CR. While I was able to ace Quant without external preparation, the same can’t be said about Verbal. As a non-native English speaker, I was desperate to push my verbal score by at least 32 in order to reach 700(Q51 V32 can fetch you 700), which was my target score. After going through a myriad of reviews on GMAT Club, I was convinced that I should enroll for e-GMAT Verbal Online course, and I must say it was a great decision in my short journey of preparation.
To begin with, I enjoyed the way e-GMAT covered the fundamentals of Grammar (for SC). Each and every concept in grammar is taught logically aided by relatable illustrations. During my course of preparation, I felt that e-GMAT not only debunked the myths surrounding a lot of concepts but also helped me to unlearn and relearn things that were taught incorrectly at school. Moreover, at the end of each lesson, the concepts are summarized in a nutshell that helped me big time as I am naturally bad at taking notes. Concepts, such as Modifiers and Parallelism, are cleared with ease through the documents that they provide along with the audio/video material.
In addition to SC, I lacked skills in solving hard CR questions especially the ones that are based on Strengtheners and Assumptions. Fortunately, e-GMAT teaches it to you beautifully through a test called Negation that leads you to the assumption. Similarly, e-GMAT brings out different concepts such as pre-thinking and variance analysis in order to get to the understanding in detail. Along with these materials, you have Scholaranium that provides you the flexibility to create custom quizzes (I needed them for SC and CR), which can be used efficiently to track your ability (not just accuracy) throughout your preparation. Moreover, I found that these questions had a high correlation with the questions in GMATPrep, and hence I resorted only to GMATPrep for my Mocks (unlike MGMAT). I scored 660 and 670 in the mocks written days before the exam. I was not moving ahead as my Quant score was stuck at 5o.
During the actual GMAT, I breezed through the Quant section, and in fact, I completed the section with over 15 minutes on my clock. I had even hopes of touching 51 this time. In the verbal, I felt that I was sailing in smooth waters till question number 25. A super-hard RC struck me badly, and I had less than 5 minutes for my last five questions. I rushed through those questions, and I still believe they reduced my score by at least 3 points. When I submitted my exam, I saw 680 flashing on my screen (Q50 V32). Even though I didn’t reach 700, I made a great improvement within a short span of time.
Finally, I would like to thank e-GMAT for pushing my score close to my target. I hope this review would be helpful for non-natives who seek betterment in Verbal. e-GMAT is here for you!
All the very best for your preparations!

Verbal Prep was great help to improve my score my V34 to V41. The videos and suggested strategies were really helpful! It helped me to improve my score in Verbal. Would suggest follow all the strategies suggested and practice a lot after that. In my first attempt, I only used part e-gmat strategy and part mine in Verbal. It didn’t help. Follow their strategies completely and it really helps. I went through all videos twice before my GMAT and practiced their strategies on all OG questions. Plus, the verbal workshop I attended was also very helpful.
I would highly recommend the course.
