e-GMAT verbal online is comprehensive collection of study material for SC, CR and RC.

Really liked the overall quality of material. The level of precision that I have acquired in solving SC and CR question is due to the detailed and meticulous approach that e-GMAT recommends.

The core concepts such as pre-thinking and identifying splits are the key to achieving high score on GMAT and that where e-GMAT puts a lot of focus.

Also, the huge question bank is a great asset. The scholanarium is a helpful tool to assess your strengths and weakness.

Though the e-GMAT course is quite lenghty its worth the effort and time.

If you are a non-native English speaker looking to get your basics right and ace the test, this is the perfect test-prep company. The guys at e-GMAT know how most of us engineers are good or at least above average when it comes to quant but have a scope to improve when it comes to verbal. Without wasting more time, I'll quickly list down below what worked for me.
Verbal: Definitely benefited from the SC and CR sections to a large extent. The 3 step process and pre-thinking may seem really difficult to implement at first but believe me, practice 25-30 questions in each section consciously using these methods and eventually this will become second nature. The time taken to solve each question also goes down as you get a hang of this and begin to recognize patterns.

Quant: I should have definitely leveraged this section more than what I did. But that said, there are some incredibly useful lessons on solving some seemingly tricky problems such as units digit, tree structure and series. If your goal is to score Q49 and above, definitely try your hands at the advanced topics.

Scholarium: Well, this is one the best features of the program that gives you real-time feedback on your strengths, weaknesses, how much time you are spending on questions and where there is scope for improvement. Try to incorporate learnings from this early on in your study schedule and rest assured, you will definitely benefit from this.

In sum, the online lessons and hand-on coaches at e-GMAT make it easy for us working professionals with erratic schedules to learn core concepts in the shortest possible timespan. I'll definitely recommend this to anyone.

Nothing tastes better than success - The saying is so true and I will never forget the evening of 5th August, 2015 exactly 1 month back from today when I tasted long awaited success in the GMAT. It was my 3rd attempt at the GMAT and I can say I finally made it. I will never forget the last 2.5 years of testing times that I had to face to get through a decent score in the GMAT. Exactly 2.5 years ago I decided to take the GMAT and I must have gone through tons of materials before I finally scored a 680 in my 3rd attempt. Many would consider this as a medium range score but after 2 unsuccessful attempts of 560 and 570, this is like a fab score to me.
I decided to start with Kaplan material and after my 1st GMAT prep score of 600, I decided to enroll into a classroom coaching to build up my concepts. It was a 2 month weekend course and by the time, I could get a feel of the concepts, we were almost at the end of the session. I practiced a lot of questions and I gave the GMAT Prep a few more times with my last score being a 670. I had blocked my GMAT date long back and I was confident to score at least 650 plus in the main exam. I had begun well but somehow got caught in the time game and I had to hurry up the last questions in both the sections. Result was a 560 (Q 40, V27) on the screen. I was sad but then I knew that my weakness was time management and accuracy in crunch time. I had to manage my time and felt that some more practice along with time management would surely help me improve my score but the challenge was to improve by 100 points at least.
I then decided to join another coaching and chose one based on web reviews. The classroom coaching was really good and I planned to retake the exam within 6 months this time. I must have practiced at least 1500 odd problems and I took several online practice tests before I felt confident enough to give another attempt. i had scored in the range of 670 to 720 in all my tests and I could say that I was better prepared this time. I began very well in the Quant section but some tricky questions and I lost time again but I still regained ground and ended well (at least I thought so). I began the verbal section well but a few lengthy RC passages and I felt that I messed up RC. I thought I had made up by doing well on the CR and SC section but when I saw the final score 570 (Q 44, V 25), I was devastated. I gave the exam on a Friday and I spent the whole weekend sulking not able to pinpoint the real cause of failure.
Improvement by only 10 points was surely good enough to deter me from taking the GMAT again but I did not want to give up and wanted to give 1 last try. I read through a lot of reviews for online courses and I finally chose e-GMAT Verbal Online course. I thought the best way to attempt it the 3rd time would be to get an online teacher as I could read through the courses at any time of the day. I began with live online sessions held by Rajat and I felt good the first time I attended it. Both the quant and verbal sections were very well broken up by topics and sub topics and the details were good enough for any person to brush up the basics. I went through each module of the verbal section atleast twice so as to be more confident. Another advantage was access to the GMAT club and I must say that the e-GMAT course modules helped me approach the problems in a systematic way. The final push was the Scholaranium set, which actually helped me improve my accuracy while keeping a tab on the time. The D-day arrived and I was much confident this time. I could really time all questions very well and the final score read 680 (Q50, V31). I surely was a bit disappointed to see my Verbal score but nevertheless I made it. I would like to thank Rajat, Payal and the entire e-GMAT team for the wonderful online coaching that the team provides. One can learn and relearn the concepts again and again and at one.s own pace and time. In one word, e-GMAT rocks and I would recommend every GMAT taker and retaker to consider this course.
I took a long break before I went and reattempted the GMAT again simply because I needed to practice more and overcome my fear of failing in CATs.
Some things to remember:
1.Don.t give up just because you have failed earlier. Believe in yourself and pursue your dreams to get what you seek.
2.Prepare a little everyday even if it means solving only 10 questions every day
3.Refer to various GMAT forums to understand the concept behind each wrong question that you have attempted and you fill find a series of reasoning for that particular question
4.Practice, practice and practice on the timing so that you can beat the GMAT

My first attempt with no prep at all was around 450. A disaster.
I struggled for 1,5y to get my 700. During this period I tried everything, with no success, mainly in the verbal part. Between my third and fourth attempt, I decided to buy e-gmat as a last alternative for gmat. Fortunately, I improved from 31 to 36 in 45 days. The course has a lot of techniques and clear explanations for SC. I could improve a lot in verbs, modifiers and idioms. Besides, the prethinking approach for each type of questions in CR helped me to understand what the test was expecting as an answer. Also, scholaranium, one of the tools of e-gmat was crucial to help me identify my weak areas. Cant believe it is over... rs

I recently gave GMAT and scored a descent 700 (Q47, V39). I made a 90 points jump on this score in comparison with the score of my previous GMAT 610 (Q49, V22). This was made possible by E-GMAT''s Verbal live prep course, which, by the way, I narrowed down to with the help of reviews provided by members of this very GMATclub forum. And finally, here is my own honest opinion - If you are a non native speaker looking to crack the verbal section, then look no further than Verbal live prep course by e-gmat. It is the best-in-its-class course. The course will start with awesome video lessons, which will cover each aspect of the SC, CR and RC that you need to know and which will, in turn, build a strong foundation for cracking the verbal section. When you are done with these lessons, you will come across tests for individual topics which will strengthen the concepts in your mind. The two other best features of the verbal live prep are the scholaranium, which has a pool of questions that are very very close to real gmat questions, and Verbal live sessions, which will help you learn tips & tricks as well as develop the ability to understand the meaning of the sentence and to think logically.

In summary- Go for this scores if you are serious about cracking the verbal section and frustrated with sentence correction, which, by the way, will be a cake walk for you once you complete this wonderfully designed course!

PS- Thanks to all the members of E-GMAT team! you have been of great help in my GMAT journey!

This was my third attempt. In my first one,I got enrolled in Jamboree Delhi,but it didn't help me much and I scored a 660(Q50 V27). Thinking that maybe I didn't give much importance to verbal,I decided to solve all OG questions again and almost ignored Quant. Result 650(Q48 V32). This was the point I got dejected completely,as being a high achiever in my school and college life,I had always gotten what I wanted without much of an effort. I was looking at forum posts on gmatclub for some hope when I saw an e-GMAT ad that promised 700+ around score. The one thing that stood out for me was the "for non-natives" part. That made me click the ad which redirected me to their website(one of my best decisions till now). There e-GMAT has these free webinars which I thought would be just another sales pitch to get me to buy their product(see my skepticism). But I decided to check them out anyways. If you haven't done that,DO IT. In the free webinars, Rajat did initially explain about how e-GMAT works(for about 20 mins),but after that it's all substance. In that one 3 hour session I realized how foolish I was to think I would ace the GMAT without knowing the basics. After going through the free modules I decided to buy the Verbal Live course.

After looking at the product I decided my schedule and set myself small targets,like completing SC course in 2 weeks and such.After 40 days,I decided to buy their quant online course too as I knew I couldn't be careless about it this time. I had decided that this will be my last time taking the GMAT,as I thought if I couldn't get a score after clearing my basics too then maybe I am not good enough for this. I studied for 10 days and got my quant back on track. I had taken the verbal live course in which the live sessions were invaluable,as I got to know good points such as importance of first 10 questions along with in depth explanations which help mould your thought process. The pre-thinking session was such an eye opener and made CR questions very easy. Earlier I used to solve SC by "if it sounds right,it is right" approach(I know,dumb) and couldn't exactly tell what part of a sentence is what. But after learning the basics I was able to actually make out the parts of a sentence and felt more confident(more confident than in quant,imagine that).There is this second live session of SC where the instructor tells about what a sentence is made up of,and I don't know what clicked in my mind at that time,but this helped me to see a holistic view of the SC questions,making them a cakewalk down the line. Although there are summary pages in all the modules,but I still kept a notebook and wrote my own summary of each module,which helped me revise the concepts when I moved to CR and RC and thought that I was losing touch with SC. The RC modules were also very good,and helped me strengthen the topic which had spelled my doom in the earlier two attempts. No longer was I scared from the long RCs which consisted of technical terms.

There was also one factor regarding e-GMAT which I found important,and that was the emails about the success stories of candidates. Believe me, staying focused for two months is not an easy task and you could easily lose way. But whenever I felt that I needed some motivation,I watched those videos and it reminded me of why I started this journey in the first place. Even after 4 months I remember a sentence spoken by one of the successful candidates during his skype interview,that "you should chase excellence,not a particular score". This sentence resonated with me somehow,and while earlier I thought that 9/10 was a good accuracy,I now wanted to chase excellence and to get all correct,not because it would get me a good score,but because it would make me feel good that I am on course to master the topic. You should definitely try to up your motivation from time to time during preparation,as someone has rightly said,motivation isn't something you can stock up once for a period of time,it's like food,you need it regularly.

I used only e-GMAT study material and OG13 in my last attempt,as I didn't want to solve questions from other material and elevate or degrade my confidence with respect to them. The OG questions alone are so rich that I believe if a person can analyse his performance on only those questions then he/she can get a very good score. I solved the OG the third time,but saw the questions in a totally different way after learning of the concepts. Also,I purchased the official exam pack,which I think is invaluable to your preparation in the final phase.

Their is so much that I could go in details of,but this post has already become very long. I would end this by asking all you people to keep trying,you will eventually succeed if you have the determination to do it.

After scoring a shocking 570 in my first attempt in Nov last year, I started hunting for a course that will improve my score. With lots of R&D on how to improve GMAT score, I compared many test preps course and finally decided to go for eGMAT VLP for 2 reasons:
1. High positive reviews by non-native retakers
2. Impressed after attended free live sessions

Since then I have learnt several new things that i was not aware of during my earlier preparation. Among all the courses they offer, my favorites are Live sessions, workshops, and SC course and its OG audio/visual explanation.

I would recommend VLP to anyone who is weak in verbal section and wants to improve it. Instructors at eGMAT are very patient and they try their best to clear your doubts. You can always approach them in several internal forums and learn many more things from there.

I took my GMAT last October and I scored a dismal 500. I did not have a blueprint to follow nor a pattern that would get me prepared. All I did was go through fellow GMAT Takers experiences and hoping that I would be well prepared. But then when I took my exam , I was unknowingly under a lot of stress and could not perform well.

I did not study for another 6 months at least and then started cruising through forums again , attended couple of webinars from E-GMAT after which I realized E-GMAT is the one that is going to take me. I'm yet to take up my next exam again , yet I feel I now know so much that I did not know last time.

I'm sure and confident I will be performing better this time and would recommend this course without any hesitation since it is highly interactive in nature and hence keeps the course very interesting.

Being a non-native Verbal was always my weaker section.I could not find any improvement in mocks. I used to score a Min Q46+ in every mocks but was never able to cross V23,which was quite disappointing.Then after attending a free webinar on strategy from e-GMAT and looking at the reviews of fellow students, I determined to enroll for the verbal online course. The course is offered at a decent price and is quite reasonable than any other GMAT courses available in India.I have been preparing since 1 and half months and am finding it enormously helpful in building my verbal concepts.I never imagined that verbal section can be so methodical.Specially the methods for solving SC questions are really awesome and Kudos to the e-GMAT team for coming out with such a user friendly tool like Scholaranium which is really a great offering and helps me understand my abilities at a glimpse.

For a non-native e-GMAT's Verbal Online is a must to get a desired score.
