'Verbal for non-natives' - that's the perfect way to describe the e-GMAT Verbal Online Course. Like many other non-native speakers, verbal section was my achilles' heel. After thorough research about available verbal courses, I decided to buy e-GMAT Verbal Online. And I am happy to have trusted e-GMAT for my verbal preparation. Not only they have a huge collection of quality questions but also their solutions are superb. I also liked the way course is structured in several modules - each covering a set of related concepts; it helped me develop sound fundamental. Also noteworthy is the size of their question pool, which helped me build upon the fundamentals and be ready for my test day.
Overall, it's a must for any non-native speaker.

e-GMAT course is much more impactful than any other course that I have taken. What I have learned from this course in 3 days is more than what I learned after using a leading test prep SC book for 3 weeks. The explanations by e-GMAT are fantastic. Explanations by other test prep companies seem shallow. Furthermore, only at e-GMAT have I found a standardized process to solve SC questions that works equally well for 500 and 800 level questions. The flexibility to pause, rewind, and replay enables me to learn at my own pace.
As a non-native English speaker, I found it hard to crack the sentence correction questions. My accuracy was around 60% and how many ever problems I solved from various resources, I wasn't able to improve my accuracy. That's when I came to know about e-GMAT. Barely after a week of studying this course, I could see a significant improvement in my accuracy. The way e-GMAT explains the concepts is refreshingly different and it makes solving sentence correction questions pretty interesting. I was using numerous other resources and everything had somewhat the same approach and some of the questions got repeated across the materials. e-GMAT gave me a solid method to approach the sentence correction questions and I could apply the same method in all types of questions whether simple or difficult. Once I completed the concepts and exercises in the course, I stared solving problems from OG and I could achieve an accuracy level of 80 - 90% every time. I have already recommended e-GMAT course to couple of my friends and would not hesitate to recommend this product to anyone who is struggling with sentence correction. I came across e-GMAT through various reviews in Gmatclub forum. I was initially confused between crackverbal and e-GMAT and finally decided to go with e-GMAT after attending one of Rajat's webminars. The course starts with very basics of verbal concepts (subjects & verbs) and goes deep in each of the topic well. Each video starts with a pre assessment to assess your existing skill level and then the concept videos. Finally, there will be an application file where they test you and score your skill learned through the concept videos. If it is below the acceptable grade, then they will suggest you to redo the concepts. There is an additional section for each of the concept which gives selected OG questions related to each of the concept taught. This provides a grip of the topic and how it will be tested in real GMAT.

I had thought of writing this review after taking my GMAT but it’s almost 19 days away so here you go –

The best thing about the e-gmat course is that all the material is together at one place so you won’t have to look at 15 books, 20 sites and 25 note books and you can carry it anywhere. That the material is as comprehensive as it can be is a bonus. Icing on the cake, if you have taken the live prep, is the way any concept is explained during the live sessions. The lessons are animated so that you can go through them at any time and even while you’re doing something else. Also, you see the lesson and you hear the audio which minimizes any outside interference or distraction (I use a headphone for maximum use).

The first live session for me was the free RC session. It’s just GOLD. The way instructor explained the point of view of the author and the main point of the passage was marvelous and really hit the bulls eye. So it’s no surprise that I hit a 51 in RC in GMAT Prep 2 exam last week.

CR has 9 different sections with each section having 1-4 lessons (with each lesson having it’s own quiz), followed by a practice quiz and then a session quiz. The live prep has 6 live sessions and covers each type of question. You can take the quizzes multiple times and all the previous session records are there for you to see. Each session covers the question strategy and how to identify the incorrect answers. The solutions are pretty detailed as well. For example, in boldface type questions it has a ready reckoner list which tells a student what are the many options can be, how are they renamed and how to identify the correct answer and how to connect the two boldface lines (if there are more than one). Then it tells you how the test makers confuse you and how to avoid falling into the trap.

The best section of the course is the SC section. It has covered each topic in detail and there are several blogs about most of the topics apart from the animated lessons. The blogs themselves are more than 200 pages if you collate them. SC was my weakest section but now I am more confident in SC than in any other section.

If you have done the session, followed all the instructions, reviewed the correct as well as incorrect answer choices you’d score more than 40 in each of the section for sure.

e-GMAT course is extremely comprehensive. I usually struggle to structure my time / plan for studying; however, e-GMAT provide a fool proof schedule that helped me improve my score from 650 to 700 in three weeks. As a non-native English speaker, the contents in the course really help break down the structure of grammars (useful in the GMAT and real life) and making the verbal section much more "quant-like." As far as the strategy of attacking questions, I was skeptical at first as it took longer than my "natural" method but as I get use to the e-GMAT method, my accuracy sky rocketed. Thank you e-GMAT!

If you are weak in verbal then 90% chances are you are struggling with SC portion big time.

Let me be honest, you will not be master or learn grammar per say but you will definitely learn almost all the concepts required for GMAT.
Course is well designed and categorized in orderly fashion - walks you through concepts one step at a time.
Audio is a big plus, it keeps you engaged and in between interactive questions make sure you are paying attention.

Of course, it's not a magic wand that you join the course and you will learn all or will get V40+. You have to put effort and explore a bit outside too. The course cover most of the things but you need to practice the concept learnt in different scenarios on different type of sentences, comprehensions and reasoning questions.

For those (including me) who use their ears for SC, e-GMAT presents a pretty well defined frame work. You can modify it depending upon what best suits you but you will definitely start using logic to choose answer instead of 'sound/ear'.

I was pretty comfortable with CR and RC, but still those two sections are as good as SC.

I can blindly suggest this to anyone wanting to score till V40. Above V40 it's your own effort no course can guarantee.

They have large practice question bank, Scholaranium, which can be customized too as per your own choice. Good way to track your progress.

Quant was never been my strength and it always sends jitters down my spine. Though I spent 70% of the preparation on quant, but quant remains a nightmare. It was very much evident when I hit a score of Q36 on 2013. It took another 2 years for me to come back and start the things all over again. But it was not that easy to get back into the rhythm and I realized that I need to start everything from scratch. But I found the savior from unexpected quarters (i.e., e-gmat whose strong forte is verbal).
E-gmat has very methodical and structured approach towards solving every concept in quant. The approach & design of the concepts & their application in gmat context will effortlessly take your practice to 700+ levels. The live sessions are real gems which help you to explore your competencies and sharpen your abilities to the core. The whole learning process is so joyful and you tends to forgot the time for your preparation. It is no exaggeration to say that there were times I sat for more than 3 hours in learning.
I seriously recommend this course to every individual who needs a real help in quant & I will give 5 stars to the design and to the content. Three cheers to E-gmat team.

My tryst with gmat started way back in 2013 with MGMAT and a other domestic gmat prep course. I had revised the course several times before the exam but to my dismay I hit 510. It was a terrible experience that the money and great amount of time were wasted.

It took another 2 years for me to come back and start the things all over again. But it was not that easy to get back into the rhythm and I realized that I need to start everything from scratch. As I was in a very confused state, I accidentally bumped into a strategy session by Rajat, courtesy - GMAT CLUB. 2 hours of strategy session unearthed the loopholes in my previous preparation. Immediately I have registered for trial version and within no time I realized that e-gmat is the game changer for me in GMAT prep. I opted for both verbal live prep and quant live prep thereafter.

I should say E-gmat’s learning methodology breaks the monotony of passive learning. A structured and methodical approach towards the each and every concept keeps you engaging and intriguing throughout the learning process. Though I lay hands on manhattan and other distinguished GMAT prep courses, the learning on e-gmat platform is more engaging and even the very difficult concepts effortlessly ensconce into your mind.
Be it 3 step process for sc or verb-ing and verb-ed modifiers, or for that matter every single concept in verbal unfolds a great clarity and takes you closer to better accuracy. I salute Rajat & Payal for their untiring efforts in making e-gmat verbal course, the world best course. You made whole lot of boring and bizarre grammatical concepts into a very simple, understandable and lively concepts . It makes the whole process of learning a joyful ride.
I seriously recommend this course to every non-natives & I will give 5 stars to the design and to the content. Three cheers to E-gmat team.

The course is very well structured - Study Plan, Content and scholaranium.Importance of Approach to each kind of problem was an eye-opener to me.
The strategy of solving SC by understanding the Meaning and Logic on SC is priceless. It helped me solve all high level problems on SC. It took me a lot of practice initially to understand the importance of this approach. Adapting to it has increased by SC score from 36 to 40.
Couldn't find the resource much useful for CR and RC. I haven't done much practice on scholaranium though.
But after reading so many positive reviews of scholaranium, now I'm tempted to do it before I retake my exam.

With a plethora of information available on the internet on GMAT, I decided with e-gmat after reading a couple of reviews. The quant material is good for people like me who are scoring around Q 25-30 in mock. Just studying this material will give u nearly 10-15 point improvement in quant taking the score to at least Q40-Q45. To score beyond this, you will need material from gmat club, for topics like overlapping sets , co-ordinate geometry etc. I would highly recommend e-gmat quant material, if you are scoring in the range or 30. In addition to this, the free sessions that are made available by the tutors are excellent and help avoid some pitfalls.
