Hi,

I have taken the GMAT about a year and half back and scored 630 overall, I think the split between QA and VA was 42 and 36 respectively if I remember correctly.

Life happened, and I got derailed on my plans for MBA. However I have again restarted my preparation. One thing I had to taken care was the fact my VA score was pretty low, and on analysis and my own instinct I knew this was more due to SC and RC than CR.

E gmat course is helping me to understand the SC and RC process, I did not have any formal english grammar education so trusted my ear more while solving SC questions during my last GMAT attempt and while I started my preparation again a month back. RC is more of a pain, as more often while going through the questions after reading the passage, I cannot even understand/remember which portions of the passage i should relook at. I end up reading the passage more than once, sometimes
three time, inevitably getting the answer wrong and losing precious time.

The egmat concept of meaning and pause while reading complicated SC and RC has definitely built up on my confidence. My accuracy has gone after completing about 50% of the course. My test date is on 2/15, so heres to hoping that I will do well.

I recommend egmat verbal course as i feel that most of us juggle a job, family and preparation for GMAT has to be optimized for maximum accuracy within a short time span and multiple commitments.

There were number of issues with the course - it might work for you, but it didn't work for me. I am a non-native Indian engineer and I was struggling in verbal section. After attending the "catchy" web session of Rajat and Payal, I bought Verbal online course. Even after going through all the chapters and quizzes, I was not able to crack SC questions from OG or GMAT Prep. The three step process was just a "process" with no content. What is the use of strategy, if there is no content?? Later, I bought RC course also, but again similar to their "three step SC process", e-GMAT categorized the RC wrong answers too - something like, "out of context"; "out of scope" etc... It didn't help much, as most of the time was getting waste in categorization only... Passage summary also doesn't help much, though e-GMAT asks you to use it a lot... I didn't improve my score - just wasted my precious time and money on it... I asked for the guaranteed refund also, but e-GMAT denied any refund, saying it is applicable only on "live" courses - well read the fine print and terms and conditions well before making a purchase...

The E-GMAT quant is a comprehensive course which again just like the verbal course teaches you right from the basics. I was really weak in Number Properties and certain topics of Algebra but this course has helped me with certain tips and tricks which help me reach the solution faster.

The solutions are very detailed and the approach used in DS questions in commendable. The DS approach helps you have a standardized way of approaching questions and also helps you already come closer to the answer before reading the statements.

The instructors are very active on the forums to help students. I would really recommend this course to anyone looking for a comprehensive quant course.

The E-GMAT verbal online course is the best fit for non natives. The most amazing part being that the course is very interactive and conducts several quizzes while teaching each concept to ensure the student has really understood everything right from the basic concepts to the approach clearly.

The SC course rightly helps you develop the mindset of giving utmost importance to the logical intended meaning by the author whereas the CR course imbibes in you the quality of prethinking. I believe these are significant aspects of the course which help you in significantly improving your course.

The E-GMAT team is also very focused on doubt solving, their instructors are constantly active on the different forums to help solve your doubts and queries.

I would highly recommend this course to any non native GMAT aspirant.

I am non native. My score in first practice test(GMAT Prep) is V31. I have come across E-gmat articles on GMAT club and attended some of their free sessions. I found their method to solve SC extremely useful. I decided to take up verbal online course. I like their focus on meaning and logic to solve SC questions rather than memorising set of rules. I was able to improve my accuracy in SC significantly by following E-GMAT approach with in short period of time. I was able to score V41 in my GMAT. I highly recommend E-gmat Verbal especially for SC.

I am a non-native English speaker and this course stood out to me for several reasons:

-it broke down the concepts to easy manageable blocks for someone who is busy with a job and unavailable for the weekend live classes.

-I always wondered what the proper order to study the material. for my first attempt, I studied CR then SC and left RC until the end and was completely burned out by the time I reached RC. Result? 50th percentile for all SC,CR and RC

I only hoped that the example difficulty during the actual lessons progressed from easy to medium to hard. I think that most of the examples during the lessons are much, much easier than the practice at the end.

Overall, I highly recommend this course for anyone who is struggling the Verbal section but cannot commit at certain times.

I took the individual course of sentence correction in egmat and it worked wonders for me. Earlier i used to look at the sc question and use to select the choice that i felt right but after completing this course i got a completely different approach of handling the sentence correction question. egmat course makes available pre assessment quiz and post assessment quiz for each and every single topic. I have got a complete hold of grammar and sentence correction questions and i have seen improvement in my scores as well. I would recommend this course to all the students who want to improve their verbal scores

Hi Guys,

I could achieve my target score i.e. 710 (q49,v38) on GMAT. I underwent Verbal online course at e-gmat. Needless to say it has really helped me my verbal score. The program really explains the concepts thoroughly and in a concise manner. After going through a concept file, you really come out with a wow. I would highly recommend this program if you intend to only focus on your verbal and I pretty sure e-gmat's other program are also as good.

Only suggetion to E-gmat is to make the program a bit more interactive. While I know the program provides good analysis on weak and good areas, it would be really helpful to get some qualitative insights in a short mail. For instance: "In the last 30 days you have completed so and so sections and we find that you continuously get these right and these wrong"

Final word: the 'scholaranium', the explanation to each and every question is A-class. Just to give you a bit of analysis: I gave a gmat prep just after completing concept section - i scored a 640. Then I took a month or two to complete scholaranium, my score straight away jumped away to 680/690.

Keep doing the good work guys.

My official score report will be out in 2/3 days. I will provide a snapshot soon.

e-GMAT Verbal courseware is a step in the right direction. When I started my prep, I was confused with varied courses provided by Multiple vendors. With no specific measure, i decided to get a feel of the courses from few vendors, eGMAT being one of them. The Free trial, free sessions by Rajat alongwith with strategy plan helped me zeroed in on e-GMAT VO course. Before starting, I was doing Good on RC, average on CR & disaster on SC. With help of Verbal Online, I was not only able to retain my strong areas, but also got free of a nightmare 'SC'. The conceptual clarity, flow of understanding from SC to RC & structure courseware from eGMAT helped me improving by 7 points in Verbal section.

Though my own study plan floundered due to only effort in Verbal, thereby impacting my overall score; I would suggest anyone aiming a 700+ to put faith in eGMAT & their complete pedagogy to achieve their goals.

In spite of that, I'm going for the courseware again to boost my scores and would get back to this post as I come out with with flying colours (Fingers crossed :-) )
