Being a non- native candidate, verbal was always tedious and difficult to master for me. With about 6 months of self-preparation and hopping on & off from random contents of preparation from online resources, I realized that GMAT requires a structural approach than some random tricks.

I stumbled upon e-GMAT through reviews on GMAT Club and other forums. I was already scoring Q49 to 50 on mock tests but was scoring V25 to V28 on verbal section. I gave their sigmaX mock and got 640 with similar results in quant and verbal section. I reached out to e-GMAT for help in only verbal section. Thereafter, the journey has been great.
Module-wise review -
1. SC- One of the best section with foundation building concept videos. I think this is the best module prepared by them. Meaning based approach is really great.
2. CR & RC- Entire approach was around understanding the passages and thinking critically with out of box solutions.
PS: No mugging up (most imp :) )
I think for all the students whose basics are not on line. e-GMAT is the only platform which can help you.

e-GMAT as a whole is phenomenal to say the least.

I signed up for the e-GMAT Verbal Online course after 3 failed attempts and specially when my score had dropped from GMAT #2:690 Q50 V34 to GMAT #3:650 Q50 V28!!! One of my seniors from undergrad recommended me this course.

Before my third attempt, I thought that my preparation was rock solid and that I would smash the GMAT with a 740+ score easily (since I was getting in the mocks). But after downloading the ESR and getting it reviewed by the eGMAT instructors, I came to know that I had big structural gaps when it came to concepts.

The e-GMAT's Master Comprehension is such a good thing to learn. It helped me not just with Sentence Correction, but also with understanding complex CR arguments. I definitely recommend everyone to follow the process very closely and strictly. Then came the meaning-based approach to solving Sentence Correction questions and I cannot overstate the fact that how much this actually changed my mind.

I would highly recommend their Verbal course if you're a non-native speaker who's struggling with sentence correction. I improved my ability considerably with the course, and started scoring good in the mocks with my newly increased accuracy. My GMAT #4 went considerably better with a Q50 V38 but just a 710, which was quite low for this breakdown. And during the test itself I felt that this is not my ideal attempt - I experienced short mind blocks.

Nevertheless, I approached eGMAT support again, even though it had been 2 months since my course expired, and sent them my ESR. Dhananjay Lowe (DJ) picked me up from there and scheduled a call with me wherein he provided me a deep analysis of my performance and identified exactly what the issue was: A weak RC ability coupled with incorrect answers to my first RC passage, which had a very low difficulty level. I was amazed by how many insights DJ could draw out of the ESR.

I just listened to Dhananjay's advice and reappeared for the GMAT#5 and scored a super 750: Q49 V41. Notably, I got a 99%ile in SC with not even a single incorrect answer - this itself speaks for how good their Verbal online course is.

E-gmat is a good platform for improving your GMAT scores. I had taken the verbal online course. Its a comprehensive course. I found the Sentence correction and reading comprehension courses the most helpful. Scholaranium is also a very good platform to improve your timing as well as the accuracy. The e-gmat support team is also quite helpful. I scored a 35 in the final verbal test with a total score a 700. I believe I underscored a bit (probably because of the anxiety). I believe egmat prepares you to score well in verbal which can help you cross the magic mark of 700!

I started my GMAT Prep journey in Sep'20. Although I was confident in the Quant and RC section, I knew I had to score well in SC and CR as well to achieve my target score of 720+. I started researching about verbal courses through the internet and interacting with friends/seniors. This is where E-Gmat came into the picture.

I must say that the course content and the method of teaching has exceeded my expectations. The course has been designed elegantly with a perfect mix of concepts, theory, examples, application, and tests. The best thing is that they never tell you to mug up rules, instead, they will tell you how to answer questions through logic and meaning. This approach assisted me a lot while attempting tricky questions. Also, the pre-thinking approach in CR helped me develop an overall thought process by which I could eliminate 2-3 options directly. The scholaranium, with its vast question pool and analytics system, helped me to improve on my timing while attempting the questions and enabled me to identify and learn from my mistakes. The instructors were quick to respond to questions, although I just sent them a couple of them as most of my questions were already answered in the inbuilt forum.

I would firmly recommend E-GMAT verbal course to anyone who's looking for improving their score in the verbal section.

I would like to thank e-gmat for their marvelous verbal module. When I got a dismal score of 610(Q 49 V 25), my friend referred e-gmat to me. I enrolled immediately and began my journey. Prior to taking e-gmat course I was struggling a lot in verbal, especially with sentence correction. But the e-gmat's sentence correction module was really ground breaking and my ability in SC improved leaps& bounds. Their structured approach to Sentence correction is invaluable to get answer tough questions in Sentence correction. Also the method of Pre-thinking the course taught me really helped me to get rid of confusing answer choices in RC and CR. Also the e-gmat mentors cleared all my doubts within 1-2 days. Their explanations were just crisp and to the point.

Now the 2nd part and as important as video lectures is scholararium. It was a complete package and had all type of questions covered. The questions in scholararium were reasonably difficult than those I faced in actual gmat, improving my accuracy and pace of answering while taking actual gmat. I recommend everyone who takes e-gmat course to solve scholararium in complete as you would get exposed to almost all type of questions that gmat has to offer you.

The course was very comprehensive. Really helped me improve my fundamentals. The well curated video lectures coupled with powerful analytics of Scholaranium, helped me improve my verbal score. The video lectures were easy to understand as well as detailed. With Scholaranium, I could improve my SC the most,followed by CR and RC.The score in cementing & custom quizzes actually was true reflector of actual score. The Quant was a little harder than actual Quant but was good enough for practice. Also the Quant 2.0 as recently launched by Egmat looks promising
The strategy team also helped by offering timely study schedule and mapping progress timely. The support the team provided was commendable
Highly recommend this course for GMAT verbal prep irrespective if anyone is starting or is retaking the exam

I cannot thank the E-GMAT team enough for the amount of improvement I made on the Verbal section of GMAT between my 2 attempts.

For my first attempt, I went ahead with a reputed live online coaching program in India. Although, my quant prep was decent, I was struggling badly in verbal. SC, which is by far the easiest section on GMAT verbal, was pulling my score down badly. A month before my first GMAT attempt, I came across e-GMAT's verbal course and took a free sigma mock to gauge my preparation and scored a V26. On the subsequent official test 1 attempt (2 days later), I scored a V33. I thought that the sigma mock was not an actual representation of GMAT verbal section. I trusted my preparation, studied for a month and went ahead with the actual exam, only to receive a reality check (Actual score – 630 – Q49, V27). I realized that the verbal section is the one which is going to make or break my score. I got in touch with Sandeep from e-GMAT and immediately took up its subscription.

The SC, CR and RC modules of e-GMAT course are so designed that their focus lies entirely on mastering a structured process. Trust me, this is the only way to consistently perform and succeed on the GMAT. If you learn to follow a structured approach for any question, nothing will stop you on the D-Day.

The online practice platform – Scholaranium is the best that one can ask for. It helped me identify the gaps in my preparation and I could track my progress on it with ease.

The e-GMAT support staff is great too. They are readily available to handle you doubts over a mail and their response time is less than 24 hours. They also paused my subscription when I needed that owing to work commitments.

All in all, e-GMAT verbal online course is your best bet if you are looking for a great verbal score or are struggling with your verbal preparation.

Hey people I'm Sushanth.
I always thought that breaking the 700 score barrier on the GMAT wasn't something that I would be able to, but thankfully I was wrong.
As you people will notice in the details that I have mentioned as a part of this review, I had already given the GMAT once before taking up E-GMAT's Verbal Online course. I scored a 640 on my first attempt, way below what I had initially expected. The break-up was Q-48 and V-30 IR-2.
Post this, I wrote an e-mail to the E-GMAT team and decided to try their Verbal online course. A point that I was able to infer, was with respect to my performance in the critical reasoning and reading comp sections. I had performed pretty badly and hence decided to hone my verbal skills for the second attempt. I scored 710 on the second attempt,
the breakup mentioned here:- Q-50 V-36 IR-5.

Now coming to the actual crux of the matter, the E-GMAT Verbal Online Course is actually pretty good. In fact, after reading lots of negative reviews online I decided not to go for it, but post the first attempt I figured I didn't have anything to lose. The course ended up being very detailed, interactive, and well designed. It has lots of inputs and details that are really useful. I didn't really use it for SC, as I was decent with that, but instead used it to work on CR and RC. The scholaranium is a nice place to test out your comprehension of the concepts. It is customizable and has really nice questions of varying difficulty. The cementing quizzes are pretty cool too.
All of the separate SC, CR, and RC sections have concept and application files, which are really well-designed. There are pre-quizzes and post-quizzes that help you assess your comprehension of the intended concept as well.
Also, FYI I wrote the Online GMAT on my second attempt. (The Online GMAT is really nice, i.e. you don't have to go out and write the test in an environment you're not accustomed to.)
P.S.- Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about the GMAT, E-GMAT's Verbal Online Course,etc.

The course is very carefully designed taking into consideration the exact type of questions that get asked in the exam.
1. Sentence Correction - The course presented only the topics / concepts that are relevant from the exam point of view. This helped save a lot of time. Although, I followed a slightly different approach while attempting the questions, the concepts were very well explained.
2. Critical Reasoning - I tried following the pre-thinking concept. Although, I was not successful in pre-thinking at all the times, yet it helped me get to the right answer a lot of times. The concepts helped me develop a thought process that is needed to attempt the questions correctly.
3. Reading Comprehension - I just practiced RC questions from the Scholaranium. Did not see all the video lectures.
4. Scholaranium - This is a true TREASURE. The number of questions are more than sufficient to ace the exams. I re-attempted a lot of questions. The best part was that I had the flexibility to choose the number of questions and the time that I want to allocate. I
5. Forum - Was really helpful in addressing a lot of my doubts that were not addressed through the solutions. Kudos to the entire support team for addressing all the doubts so patiently and quickly !

In all, the course provided a very structured way of studying. Was really happy with the course till the very end.

Very helpful for verbal section, especially the SC content. EGMAT's mock tests are also very close to main GMAT, even on the scoring front.

I used EGMAT's verbal online resource for SC preparation and it helped me achieve good accuracy.

Prethinking also helped in CR.

Would recommend EGMAT for anyone looking to take their verbal score to 40+

Have also heard good things about their Quant resource but I personally didn't use it.

One of the good features was revising concepts using concept specific questions, by skipping the concepts.

The analytics provided is also helpful to understand where you are going wrong
