I want to thank e-gmat for conceptualizing and designing such a useful course for people who struggle with GMAT verbal. This course has helped me quite a bit in improving my GMAT verbal score from 28 to 38, enabling me to score a respectful 710(Q49, V38) in GMAT.

I especially liked their SC modules which I think is worth every penny. By saying this, I don’t mean that there CR and RC modules are not effective. They are very effective as well, but as per my opinion improving your sores substantially in CR and RC requires a lot of practice along with following the e-gmat methodology, whereas one can improve very quickly on SC by following their methodology with comparatively less practice.

The flexibility of an online course that allows one to work at one’s own pace also works in favor of e-gmat verbal online as an offering. There live classes are also extremely helpful as it helps one experience the live implementation of the concepts one goes through in the video lessons.

In summary, I recommend this course specifically for those who are looking forward to a quick fix for their SC woes and generally for those GMAT aspirants who are looking forward to improve their score in all sections of verbal and are willing to put in a lot of effort in RC and CR sections.

I gave my GMAT recently and found that I didn't do well in my Quant. I felt the first 5-10 minutes I was not focused enough. I am working with e-GMAT material to improve my score. I do feel with the good material that they have, I should easily make it beyond 50 on my Quant.

Their theory and questions to practice are very good. All concepts are explained very well with option to test the understanding of the concepts right after completion of the theory sessions.

Their Scholaranium is very good to practice. The number of problems one has to solve are exhaustive.
They have covered all the concepts tested on GMAT very well.

I recommend e-GMAT for anyone considering GMAT preparation material. Worth the investment.

I am an experienced manager ( Have a MBA from a Top School in India more than 10 years ago) working for a top MNC. I decided to give my GMAT, as I wanted to apply for PhD.

As a typical Indian with Engineering background, I am very strong in Quant. Got 48 in my first mock GMAT with GMATPrep. My verbal was a low 30.

I decided to use e-GMAT. While people tend to highlight its use for non-native speakers, I think it is something that will work for everyone. It puts a template on how to approach GMAT questions. For example for the Sentence Correction they have their 3 Step approach. These are very helpful. Their question bank (Scholaranium) is very good.

I gave my GMAT last week and got a 680. I was not happy with my score, but my Verbal was a good 37. My target is to push my Verbal to 40+ and I will be using the e-GMAT material and work harder.

I will recommend e-GMAT Verbal Live Prep to anyone considering study material for their GMAT. After a level it is more of your own preparation that matters more.

At first, I purchased only the SC course because I was very impressive with the trial content. I then upgraded to Verbal Online, mainly to get access to the Scholaranium, and finally upgraded to Verbal Live after not being able to get 700 after 2 tests. I used the course for my first 3 attempts, improving from 640 to 660 to 680. But I do not really attribute these improvements to this course. Here are my reviews for each component:

- SC: among the best courses about SC. If you cannot understand grammar “jargon” such as gerunds, preposition, adverb…, you will gain many benefits from SC course. The approach of eGMAT SC is meaning-based, which is very good for understanding why one choice is correct while others are incorrect. The negative side is that this approach is really time-consuming. I struggled to reduce the time per question to under 1m30s but not successfully, even after many practices. Finally, I combined this approach with the approach from other prep company and this worked, helping me so much in saving time for CR and RC.

- CR: nothing too special. The content is quite similar to what CR Bible has. You may find the content livelier than reading Bible book, but it did not work for me.

- RC: I did not learn much about RC. The content is a bit boring, and I kept using my own way which is to read The Economist and to take notes.

- Scholaranium: At first, I saw it very useful. There are a lot of analyses here, and they helped me understand where I need to improve. But the quality of questions is far away from official questions of GMAC. My scores in Scholaranium, especially in SC, were very good, but I could not did well in official questions and real exams. I think that the questions in Scholaranium were tailored to match to the contents in eGMAT’s course. My advice is to use its analytic tools to know the strengths and weaknesses, but to not work on these questions too much.

- Live workshops: They are somewhat useful to help learners understand the contents and clear confusions, but I think it is not worth paying much money to upgrade from Verbal Online to Verbal Live just in order to have these workshops.

I have always been bad when it comes to my command over English. (though, I still feel same). I was fortunate that I came to GMATClub and after reading various Debrief of club member sharing their GMAT journey and how e-gmat has helped them, I attended e-gmat webinar and I liked how Payal approached the questions, then there was no second thought and thus, I enrolled for GMAT prep. After going through the online interactive videos, I started feeling comfortable with GMAT Verbal, but there was still a lag, therefore after reading so many debriefs on Verbal Live Prep, I decided to enroll in Verbal Live. That very decision led to score 710 in real GMAT. Basically, Live classes helped me approach the problems and I replicated the same approach in every approached problem. Initially, time was my concern, but as I kept on following the e-gmat approach to tackle questions, I was able to finish the questions in time.
I have used e-gmat sources, GMAT OG Guides and GMAT club Maths Test.
I started using scholarnium which further boosted my confidence. The questions were very much similar to tried OG questions and I felt that many of them tested me in the same way that Official Guide questions did.
The way Scholarnium gave the statistics, it helped me target my weak area and hence further confidence to solve the problems.

I want to thank e-gmat and gmatclub for the score I had.

Hi,

I gave gmat on 13-feb-2016 before joining the e-gmat verbal course. i scored 670. quant 49 verbal 33. In enhanced report my scores were:-
SC-41
RC:-38
CR:- 23
I had a very bad CR score.
The problems i faced withe CR is i used to take more time than required and wasn't able to fully understand the passage. So when i was confused in b/w two choices i had to make a wild guess.
But after joining e-gmat verbal prep I can see a considerable improvement in my CR skills. I'm able to understand the passage well thanks to LOGICAL STRUCTURE and also able to get the correct answer choice thanks to PRE-THINKING.
I have scheduled my exam for 14-Sept-2016 hope to score well this time.

Thanks,
Aayush Srivastava

When I first took my mock tests I realized that I was very weak at the data sufficiency questions (which I then realized was the case with many people). Problem solving part was okay for me but even that used to take too much time, which I discovered after taking a few quant sessions.

Rajat is really interactive in his teaching style and the methods taught by him are very easy to understand and nothing is a cramming job anymore. You can just think logical to arrive at the right answer rather than to apply formulas everywhere.

My quant score improved a lot after I took up this course with e-GMAT and would really recommend this course if you want to have a grip at the quant section with an easy understanding.

E-gmat understands the essence of the Verbal section of the GMAT exam and how non-natives approach their prep - the course is custom-designed for non-natives to reach the 90th percentile in the verbal section. An excellent platform that is interactive and comprehensive. Highly recommended!
Approach: for verbal prep, I have gone through the videos of the 3 sub-sections of the verbal section, have done the scholaranium a few times, followed by a detailed review of the OG and the Verbal Review books on a couple of occassions. With a consistent improvement across the 5mock exams that I have given, I see a potential for massive improvement on my exam day.

E-gmat, with its structured approach, helped me grasp the
specific approaches required for solving a verbal gmat problem. RC and SC is module driven and tests expertise in each module. Alongside, you can practice OG of your own to test your overall improvement. Specifically, I can see my score improving in SC after a few practices. You need to complete each module before practicing. For non-native speakers like me, I appreciate the way e-gmat helped me split phrase, clause from a sentence ( I never actually knew this!). I am yet to start with CR but I definitely recommend e-gmat for non-native students. WIll post a detail review after my GMAT exam,

Below is my Jan 2016 GMAT score, I took it casually.

My only regret is not finding EGMAT soon enough!!

I was in a position in which I needed to focus on both quant and verbal to get my score up. Although I didn't score above a 680 (current goal), now that I have sat through a strategy session and gone through a portion of EGMAT I am confident that my verbal score will improve. My first GMAT attempt concluded with a sad 29, after egmat I tested as high as a 36 on my practice test!!

I ended up scoring a 31 on my official exam but I attribute this to a little bit of fatigue,I didn't take full advantage of my last break!

Egmat is thorough, organized, and challenging. It will teach you to understand the meaning and THEN use strategy to attack the question. My only piece of constructive criticism is how much material you have to complete before the seminar sessions on the weekends. You shouldn't attend the sessions without completing the pre-reqs but in some instances they were on Saturdays and Sundays which posed a challenge.

I highly recommend egmat if you're struggling with verbal! Try something new! I will certainly use egmat to help me achieve my verbal score of 40+!
