I would like to share my experience on the Verbal Live Prep Course of e-GMAT with the aspiring GMAT test takers. e-GMAT's methodical process to attempt the verbal section not only breaks down the question for the test-taker but also helps us identify where we went wrong (this is crucial as later you can work on correcting your approach). Here's my individual take on the different components of the verbal live prep-
1. The lessons
The lessons have been broken down into simple concepts (20 minutes video). You start with real basic day to day examples to understand the subject. The concept is later embedded into your mind by applying it on small length questions. Only after you complete certain pre-requisites you are allowed to move further. (This again ensures that you aren't skipping the process and quickly skimming through the most important part of learning)
2. Scholaranium
In one of the strategy sessions, Rajat mentioned how it was important to test your ability and improve on it in order to improve your score. The Scholaranium tool does exactly that! It helps you identify your weak areas, and gives you ample amount of questions to improve on it. I have used other GMAT learning products but nothing has come close to Scholaranium in helping me identify my weak areas.
3. Live Sessions
These sessions play an important part in your step-2 of your prep. Once you have learned and understood the concept, the live sessions help you tackle 700 - level questions. The tutors break down the questions with such ease that you can't help but have faith in the 3-step process. :)
Another aspect that I really like about the live session is how the tutors are patient to answer every doubt and proceed only after the students have grasped the right understanding. In one of the sessions, we were made to write down the reason for the rejection of the answer choices. Shraddha went through every answer written down and gave us the feedback on whether we rejected the choice for the right reason.

The support staff is very co-operative in answering your questions. I had to unlearn, re-learn and then apply the 3-step process. If you are a non-native speaker, I highly recommend taking the Live Prep Course. The process of studying for GMAT has been fun.

E-GMAT verbal is really sound tool for all who want to improve Verbal part of the GMAT in short period of time. For example, my result is from V32 to V39.

Study materials are well sorted and delivered to users in a very understandable manner. Moreover, I personally enjoy the electronic format of studying instead of having heavy books. Reading the text from the screen puts you in exam format while studying, and that really makes you more prepared for the exam.

E-Gmat is the most innovative tool for the GMAT preparation I have met, and it is perhaps the best solution for affordable price on the market.

Before to enroll on e-GMAT course I tried taking courses offered by universities and studying by myself and I just felt that I was wasting my time and money. The e-GMAT Quant Live Prep course has been helping me to gain confidence, now I’m feeling myself more confident. This course helped me to re-learn some math skills that I had forgotten. I’m going to keep you posting about my score once I take the course next March.

The teachers are really good and the way the course is conducted is must, they are well organized and are focuses on your success.

This is my 3rd attempt at the exam and I took the e-GMAT for the 2nd and the 3rd attempts. I have witnessed a 17 point improvement in my Verbal score from a 23 on my first attempt to 40 in my third attempt. Even though I didn't do as expected in my 2nd attempt, I knew that the under-performance in 2nd attempt was more down to my failure to perform in the test. The easy explanation with the help of slides helps one to understand complex topics. A diagnostic test at the end of each topic helps you assess your understanding of the topic. The newly introduced Scholaranium provides ample practice to master the skills learnt while going through the modules. However, the best judge of my performance was the Verbal Workshop in which I scored a 99 percentile indicating that my preparation was on the right track. The faculty at e-GMAT has always been extremely helpful. One always wonders how doubts will be cleared when attending online courses, but the faculty at e-GMAT has always been prompt in replying to any doubts that I have mailed to them. I ended up with a 710 in my 3rd attempt. However, I intend to give one more attempt in hopes of improving my score one last time. I'll definitely be asking for an extension for my online course.

e-GMAT Quant Live Prep is a relatively new course and it not as famous as eGMAT's verbal course. It might be because e-GMAT verbal course's is designed for non-natives and generally, non natives for e.g Indians are good at GMAT level Quant, so they might not be as enthusiastic about the Quant course as they will be for Verbal course. However, for anyone who is willing to spend a little bit of extra time on the quant section, I would recommend the Quant Live course too as it will help scoring those extra 3-4 points from Q48 to Q51.

Verbal Live Prep is one of the best courses that is out there for non-natives. It is an audio-based course and hence, more interactive compared to reading books. My favourite part of the course would be the way it is structured. The course would start with the simplest of concepts and would end with the really tricky or interesting ones. AND for every topic the course touches, it has a practical as well as an application quiz. So, it is made sure that you have understood the topic and are able to solve within the time frame as well.

While Selecting a course, as almost everyone preparing for GMAT does, I bought the MGMAT books. But as a working individual , I would be almost always exhausted. I didn't want to read a book after coming back from work. I wanted something more interactive and eGMAT's verbal live/online course is more than what one can imagine or ask for. I really found it beneficial during my preparation.

For me, their best would be the SC course. It is so good that you will start following in your daily lives too.

I would strongly recommend the course for anyone and everyone looking to ace the gmat.

Hi everybody,

I am one of the students of e-gmat course enrolled to the verbal live prep program. As is the case generally with all Indian student, I had difficulties in coping up with e-gmat verbal section.

If you really want to score V35+, one thing that you should definitely look at is to enroll to e-gmat SC course. It gives you the confidence by making sure you understand all sections - (SV Agreement, Pronouns, Modifiers, Parallelism, Comparisons, Idioms, Meaning based questions).

Trust me the toughest question types in the SC are from the parallelism and comparisons. These are made absolutely a cake walk by the e-gmat course. Even the meaning based questions are dealt in depth which makes the section a breeze to crack.

You should definitely try the e-gmat SC course. Get the confidence in the overall verbal section and then upgrade. Atleast that is what i did. Follow the study plan diligently and you can answer almost any SC question.

For SC - Understand everything from e-gmat SC course + solve OG questions + solve GMAT prep questions (Buy, if you dont have them) + solve scholaranium.

Download the GMAT prep questions available on GMAT club for past SC questions. search "GMAT prep questions gmatclub" on Google.

Moving on CR section took a bit of time for me to get complete understanding on. A combination of the CR-Bible and e-gmat course for CR would be ideal in my opinion.

You should definitely only and only solve the OG questions for this module. Solving questions from any other module will confuse you a lot. The quality of the official questions cannot be replicated at all. So stick to official questions. Download the GMAT prep questions available on GMAT club for past CR questions.

When understanding each sub-topic in this section, make sure you absolutely understand Assumptions. If you are able to crack assumption questions, you will be able to solve almost any question. Go in the following direction:

Assumptions -> Strengthen -> Weaken -> Inference -> Evaluate -> Paradox -> Bold face.

e-gmat course asks you to follow an approach called "Prethinking". It worked for me some times and did not work sometime. So choose what is right for you. As i mentioned, a combination of e-gmat CR + power score bible is ideal to crack this section.

Now the RC section:

The most ignored section by everybody. This is the section which will make or break your verbal score eventually. Follow the e-gmat RC course diligently. It has explained the different categories of section in depth with sample questions from that question type.

Make sure you understand the explanation given for the answers to the questions in the RC passage. Your mind will get tuned to find out the way to solve RC questions. Again phenomenal in content coverage.

Sometimes, i felt summarizing every paragraph and then getting to a single line summary of the entire RC passage was difficult to follow during the exam. But nevertheless the approach definitely help to a large extent.

My suggestions finally:

e-gmat course is very flexible. enroll for the course as you get the belief that it is helping you improve in answering the question.

e-gmat course has an absolutely easy upgrade process and will always be ready to help you for any doubts.

All the best everybody!

Getting the E-Gmat course was perhaps the best decision of my future MBA career. I scored a GMAT 640 in my first attempt with a Verbal score of 28. I could have increased my verbal score to 30+ on my own but I wanted to have a more clear understanding of the verbal concepts tested on the GMAT. SC was the weakest point for me and I knew that to score well overall, I had to tackle SC.
SC classes were amazing and the video lectures helped me understand the minute grammar concepts really well.
The best thing about this course were the live lectures. Amazing discussions used to happen during the class and we were thoroughly tested on our concepts.
Neeti Mam's class on CR helped me a lot in understanding the concepts tested in GMAT CR section.
I recommend every non-native speaker to try this course once for your GMAT preparation. It will definitely make you a better writer and a better GMAT test-taker.

Hi All,

After my first attempt, which was quite disheartening, I have taken the verbal live prep of E-GMAT. I was actually amazed by their course as the lessons and the user interface were simple and splendid. I was a bit paranoid as I thought that the doubts that occur while studying would not be cleared through an online course properly. But, I might have asked the tutors atleast 20 questions(many silly ones as well). They have cleared these doubts very fast and didnt leave even one question unattended.

My main weak areas were CR and RC. I thought i couldn't get any better in these areas. I was skeptical even while signing up for this course. But now I am very delighted that i did, as hardly any of my questions go wrong.

The PRETHINKING startegy in CR was time taking in the earlier stages. But as Rajat said, there is a transition stage during which one might feel they are going slower than usual. But this strategy is so marvellous!! Also the Markers list in RC, helped me so much to keep up the faster pace and the maximum comprehension.

This course is excellently designed for a non native English speaker. Kudos to Rajat and E-GMAT team! Keep up the good work :)

I was having difficulty in GMAT Verbal until I came across the Verbal live prep program. This is an excellent course and it is very well structured.
The live prep videos help strengthen concepts learnt through the class videos.
The concepts taught in CR provide a thorough structure towards approaching CR questions. The course lays out a detailed strategy for each question type in CR.
Of great emphasis in the CR component is Pre-thinking. The course teaches you how to prethink answers before looking at the answer choices - a vital component of CR.
I highly recommend this course to anyone who is weak in GMAT verbal.
