I am using eGMAT from Jun 2015. Their verbal course is the best in the lot. The forum is very active and is a big plus.The verbal course is structured to start with the basics and develops the focus to ace the GMAT. If you are willing to unlearn and relearn the basics for verbal this course will be helpful. I feel that e-gmat is more detailed in teaching both SC and CR. It teaches you the application, not just the rules.

Thanks to e-gmat. I recommend Verbal online course to anyone who have problem in verbal, especially in SC and CR and who wants to give the test in very short duration.

I would like to recommend the e-Gmat course to as a must have for your SC section preparation.

I get an improvement from V25 to V35 with the e-gmat verbal online. My improvement is mainly due to the SC section. The SC course is a must have for a non-native. The course presents all the gramar rules you should know in a very intuitive way.

Only 15 days were enough to see a considerable improvement in my skills.

The RC and CR are also good but don't expect a good improvement if you already learn the methodology from other companies.

Try and you will enjoy it!

So.. Gave my GMAT on 6th Nov 2015. This was my 3rd attempt and hence I knew in my heart that this time I have to crack that 700+ mark and aim for a high score. My previous attempts fared like this:

Attempt 1: 590 (Q 42, V 29)
Attempt 2: 650 (Q 47, V 32)

Finally in the 3rd attempt scored a 710 (Q 47, V 41, AWA- 6, IR-5). While I was hoping for a 730+ (and honestly could have done better in quant) I was nonetheless quite happy with my performance.

I started my prep for 3rd attempt around August 2015 (wanted to start early but hectic work schedule did not allow that ). Below I have tried to list out some steps I followed during my 3 months of prep for GMAT.

1) before i started my prep, I decided to reflect back on my performance. Clearly, Verbal section was a challenge for me and I needed to put in lot of efforts to increase my verbal score. Being a non native speaker made it even more difficult to understand and grasp the verbal concepts.
That is where e-gmat came into picture. After doing a lot of research, reading through forums, and talking to people I decided to attend few free verbal sessions offered by e-gmat. I found their teaching methods highly methodical yet simplistic and felt that e-gmat might be the right choice for me to work on my verbal skills. With that in mind I enrolled for their Verbal Online course (even verbal live prep is very good but for me self studying works better). As it turns out, this was one of the best decisions I had ever taken in my approach towards gmat preparation. The modules offered by them are nicely structured for all 3 sections.

SC was always my strength but I used to make some critical mistakes on the 700+ questions. E-gmat's 3 step approach to solving SC questions made life much easier. I realised that by simply focussing on the meaning of the sentence there was a lot that could be unraveled regarding the sentence structure. Once I got a hang of it I stopped relying on my ear and started focussing on the meaning of the sentences to get through a sentence correctly.

CR was a challenge for me during my past attempts. A huge challenge. After enrolling in the e-gmat course I realise why it was so. I had missed out on the most important aspect of CR q's- PRE-THINKING!! Pre-thinking in CR q's is a non-negotiable according to me. Once you start to pre-think the underlying assumptions that the passage has, half the battle is already won. E-gmat's module teaches you to excel this skill through it's well structured modules. From a 30-40% accuracy in CR to a 100 % accuracy on actual test (source- enhanced score report) is no mean feat and understanding a cr argument, breaking it down to it's simplest form, and pre-thinking assumptions is something that comes in handy very single time.
RC - they key to excel in this section is to NOT GET BORED while reading a passage. That is most important. Losing your interest in what the passage is talking about affects your RC performance deeply. Practice as much as u can without worrying about time spent per passage (initially). read editorial sections from newspapers to get a hang of complicated language and sentence structures.

Also the scholaranium tool offered by E-gmat comes very handy. You can track your performance on a regular basis and the tool offers a huge question bank.

2) Created an air tight daily schedule for my prep and followed it without fail. reviewed my performance weekly and noted down concepts/ q types that I still needed to work on. This step is very important. There are so many different topics to cover (both in quant and verbal ) that If you do not have a plan in mind then you can easily lose track and end up messing your entire preparation.

3) For quant I used OG and Magoosh course. Magoosh again is a very helpful course specially for quant section. The modules are really helpful and Magoosh also offers an extremely helpful question bank.

Also I cannot stress enough on how important OG is when preparing for GMAT. Official guide questions can often give you insight into every single concept that can be tested on gmat so make OG your first check point towards GMAT.

4) Tests - GMAT prep (best possible source. very accurate and reliable). MGMAT tests- another useful source. the 6 CAT's allow for good practice and even the scoring algorithm is close enough to the real GMAT.

But the most important aspect to success in GMAT is patience. GMAT is no rocket science. More than anything it is a test of your nerves. all the prep that you put in boils down to just one thing- how well can you manage the stress levels during your actual test. Make no mistake that the most important aspect the test likes to explore is your ability to understand the logic behind questions under a stressed environment.

All the best !

I registered for E-GMAT verbal online course after completing my initial prep from various other sources. Though i have been good at quant, i couldnt improve much on verbal prior EGMAT course.

EGMAT completely changed my approach towards verbal. SC has been the most dreaded part but the concepts followed by tests has helped me improve in each topic in SC. I find the verbal course very structured and easy to learn.

I am in midst of my preparation and have already experienced improvement in my score and feeling confident about CRACKING the verbal.

I am looking forward to CRACKTHEGMAT with EGMAT.I would surely recommend this course for GMAT Verbal prep

The course helped me realise how I should not have taken my GMAT exam without such basic platform.
First and best thing to start with was the SC preparation. It gives a very clear picture of how to look and categorize a complex sentence structure. Initially i was not good at grammar and i prepared for SC by studying the grammar rules. But once i started my preparation with e-GMAT I got rid off the basic fear of reading a complex sentence. I learnt how to break the sentence to understand the meaning clearly. This helped me indirectly in CR as I need not go through the sentence twice to understand it. I feel for CR and RC one needs to develop fast and clear comprehension (which I'm not good at) along with this online material.
I'm yet to complete the course as I need a balance between professional practise and my education and that i need more time. Still I strongly believe e-GMAT has a very detailed and clear structure comparitive to other online study materials (I purchase one another online course before e-GMAT).

After studying on my own for gmat for 3-4 months, I signed up for e-gmat course. I started with SC course and it was really helpful. The way of breaking a complex sentence into clauses and clearly identifying SV pair etc really boosted my confidence in SC. CR and RC course was also useful but SC section really stand out for me. Instructors are very knowledgeable and help you learn the right ways and methods to tackle GMAT. Rajat's strategy sessions are also useful. I would recommend e-gmat course for non-natives or any one who is struggling with verbal section.

Hi

I would like to share my experience with E-gmat Verbal Online. The course content is great and meticulously planned to give a good insight into each verbal section specially the SC which i happened to focus more. I did manage to run through the CR course before my 2nd GMAT attempt though i was quite literally struggling to master this section. Another area of weakness was RC and here to i was not in a position to complete the course despite the 6mth validity period. So i just decided to give the exam come what may with just a fair improvement in SC.

Honestly i would Not be the right person to give a constructive feedback on the CR & RC courses as i haven't mastered the E-gmat process yet. This is more to do with the kind of approach i used in practice which was best suited to me but never yeilded concrete results. But i am sure the course if pursued with due diligence would yeild results.

Just to add to my prep , I have enrolled for the E-gmat Vlive prep to understand the gaps in my learning and as of now i can already see further improvement in SC. I believe I can master the CR and RC courses if i can manage to diligently follow their process

Only concern i have is the time frame recommended for this Vonline course. I found that to be challenging since my fundamentals in Verbal were totally exposed in the 1st GMAT and literally it was learning verbal from scratch. Hence i did take a lot more time to cover the majority(SC & CR) of Vonline.

I would recommend this course for people who need just a brush up on the fundas and for others like me i suggest directly enroll for live prep which is more comprehensive in all aspects.

I am a non-native English speaker. When I decided to appear for GMAT and took a diagnostic test to get a feeling where I stand in the verbal section, I got a miserable 21. I have enrolled in to the E-GMAT verbal online course and went through the well developed, process oriented approach to each of the verbal section. After completing 80% of the course, I have written two more mock tests to check where am I at this point of time. To my surprise( may be not a surprise, because now I am well equipped) I scored 36 and 39 respectively. This a tremendous improvement, for me at least.
I happily recommend this course not only to the non-native speakers but also to the native speakers. Because the approach developed by the E-GMAT helps beating the GMAT.

I am non-native speaker of english and indeed ,till my higher secondary ,the medium of instruction was Hindi. So, in GMAT world my weakest area was verbal. I prepared with standard study material such as manhattan GMAT sentence correction and power score CR and even taken a local coaching to improve my verbal score. But I had a lot of doubt which remained as doubt.

I attended a strategy session of e-gmat conducted by Rajat and went through the free trials of e-gmat.Then, I joined Verbal online as was convinced that Verbal online will be suitable to my work schedule and my laziness.

During my preparation, I realized how good the verbal online course is. Special mention for SC, because I think this is the best course which anybody can take and become comfortable with nuances of SC- sentence structure,meaning and spotting the errors.SC is structured in very easy to understand mode . Moreover, the articles written for SC is superb.In CR, Structure and pre-thinking steps gives a solid understanding of the argument. In RC, solution technique for Inference question was best.But the best part is verbal workshop. I recommend everyone to attend it,because it gives you the points where you have to focus (even you have studied full and getting a good score in mocks).

Finally, Thanks to e-gmat. I recommend Verbal online course to anyone who have problem in verbal, especially in SC and CR and who wants to give the test in very short duration.

I got GMAT 620 and then I took the eGMAT verbal Online Course.
The step by step integrated course not only helped me to understand the basics well but also helped me develop necessary skills for GMAT. I completed the course in 20 days and started taking 800 score and GMAT Club tests, which comes free the Verbal Online Course. These mock tests helped me immensely in getting ready for the real GMAT. After that I again wrote the GMAT and then scored 710. My verbal score improved from 27 to 35. I would strongly recommend this course to everyone, especially non natives. Please write to me in case you have any question.
