I had given by GMAT in 2014 and scored a 710 with 50 in quant and 34 in verbal. However, apart from sheer exhaustion from the long test due to lack of preparation, I had no clue how I ended up with that verbal score. I ended up going through a few books and online material to figure out what the problem was and why my verbal scores were just like a roll of dice, just randomly up or down.

Finally, I came across e-gmat and saw very positive reviews. I just took the free trial and also the webinar. I found the webinar waste of time probably because I had already given GMAT but the free trial was good. I enrolled for the full course and immediately observed a minor improvement due to the stress put on meaning over rules.

What really made a difference to me was, however, the Master Comprehension. It really helped me nail the problem. My comprehension of a question was totally dependent on my mood. Master Comprehension really helped me with the right way of comprehending sentences and pausing at the right places, thereby improving my overall comprehension substantially.

I still need to get a little bit faster though with the methodology but in a few weeks I should be able to comprehend faster and also improve my score significantly.

Just one improvement for the course. Though the videos are really detailed, I feel it takes a long time to cover the entire portion. It would be good to condense at some places for effective studying.

I am non-native English speaker and my GMAT journey started close to a year ago. Due to a hectic schedule at my workplace, the journey to the finish line kept on getting delayed. I had attempted a few mock tests in the early stages of my preparation scoring 680 (Q50, V33) and at that point of time I was bewildered on how GMAT questions seemed fairly tricky to answer particularly in the verbal section. Besides, the study material provided by the regular GMAT prep companies had tons of rules that one had to go through that was quite a mundane process to follow. Even if you read through the book entirely, absorbing it and applying it to questions seemed like an inefficient process for the time invested in it. My friend introduced me to e-gmat course and it seemed to address some of those pain points immediately.

My quant was always strong, and CR and RC were average, SCs just didn't come to me intuitively and I had to put a lot of effort in ensuring my accuracy improves. But each time I would come across an SC in the middle of tests or reading, I would feel relatively less confident and thereby end up affecting my overall verbal accuracy and scores. Videos provided by e-GMAT made them a whole lot of fun. There were in appropriate bite sized chunks that can be watched and absorbed immediately. There were quite exhaustive in nature and you didn’t need another source to clear your concepts if you felt stuck at something. I found the practice of making notes either in a note that you can carry or an online platform extremely helpful. Though I prefer the handy notes, making notes while you go through the videos is an extremely effective way of improving retention.

One of the key features of the course is how it made me believe that there is a method to tackling every question type like there is in quant. It’s not necessary subjective or intuition based as a candidate might feel in early stages. Scholaranium comes with an “ability” evaluation technique that tells where exactly you stand in a particular section or all sections combined. This has been a very useful tool for me as I was able to do targeted practice for areas I was faltering on.
I could really resonate with what I was being taught in the courses, for e.g. strategy "to get immersed" has immediate benefits to how you Tackle RC. I even used the note making approach during RCs quite regularly and was thereby able to get ALL my main point and structure questions right. Trick lies in being able to internalize the strategies being taught. The course does a very effective job at improving your level for the time and effort invested in it.

As I reach the end of my preparation. I have seen significant score improvements on my mock tests which hopefully I will be able to translate into test day performance. I think structured practice guided in the right direction can tremendously help candidates and that’s what course is enabling, the study plan also gave me a way to hit the ground running once I made up my mind.

Thank you e-GMAT and hopefully, I was able to help a few of you get some clarity around your preparation strategies. Will write a detailed debrief post my GMAT.

I liked the format in which the course is designed. It helps you out to understand the content first and then practice on the concepts with practice questions.
My verbal was really poor but this course helped me to get some grip on it. Would recommend the verbal course for Non-English people to crack GMAT exams. Practice tests are properly designed to present GMAT like questions with same difficulty levels.
I did not take the quant course but few of my friends who took the course told me that it is fairly easy and should be taken only by those who did not have exposure to normal maths.

I realized I need to do some real work on Verbal as I merely scored V29 on my gmat prep. The problem was that, there are many gmat products out there and I was overwhelmed with choices - naturally I wanted to have the one which would give me maximum impact. Upon reading a lot of reviews online, I decided to give e-GMAT a go.

What I particularly like about e-GMAT Verbal was that it emphasizes understanding the SC question first, rather than plunge oneself into the nitty gritty of grammar rules. It is the first of the 3-step-process (Meaning analysis, Error Analysis, Options Analysis). The approach helped me to improve my SC considerably. Apart from that, the e-GMAT Verbal has a number of quizzes for each of its topics, which further helped me to cement my understanding of that particular topic.

The structured approach in tackling the Verbal questions was something which I found truly helpful.

One of the great learnings I had during the e-GMAT Verbal Online course was the innovative problem-solving approach, which is based on meaning and pre-thinking. Verbal Online is carefully designed from student's perspective, specifically teaching a step-by-step process to solve various items being tested.

For Sentence Correction, Verbal Online helped me to adopt a methodical process to understand the meaning thereby helping me to improve my overall accuracy. My accuracy for Sentence Correction shot up to 75-80% after incorporating e-GMAT's approach of solving SC questions.

Similarly, the RC and CR courses focus on pre-thinking, which is yet another important and effective method to achieve higher accuracy. I used Scholarium to focus on my weak areas and thoughtfully watched the videos to excel in my weak sections.

For a non-native speaker, Verbal Online is worth every penny and I would highly recommend it.

E-Gmat is the best to prepare for GMAT.I tried official guides but my understanding was not well, i was doing a lot of mistakes in Sentence correction especially in Modifiers, comparisions and Idioms.In Critical reasoning i was finding it hard for assumptions ,strengthen & weaken questions..When i started preparing with E-Gmat, it enhanced my learning for SC & CR .Later i was quite confident in the above mentioned sections in Sentence correction & Critical Reasoning. Thanks E-Gmat for ur support and pushing me through the limits.I will strongly recommend all non natives to go ahead with the verbal live prep program of E-Gmat and improve more than 40 in verbal.

I believe that e-GMAT is the best Verbal resource out there. I started with a Verbal score between 30-34. My weakness was SC and so I decided to try e-Gmat which was notoriously known for its SC approach.
E-gmat SC approach is very quick, efficient and definitely helped me achieve 40 for Verbal part on my test day.

What I would recommend: Stick to one course/approach per section. Do not wander around with many different companies. You will only get confused.For me it was e-GMAT for SC (The best course for SC in my opinion), PowerScore for CR and gmat club for RC.

I was looking for a decent platform to study for GMAT. After couple days of research, I've decided to give e-GMAT a shot. So far, it's amazing and worth every buck.
I really like the post-quiz feature that allows you to review the concepts you just learned. And their Scholaranium is great as well, it really helps you to get used to GMAT questions.
Their verbal contents help me boost my confidence in the section. After thoroughly study verbal section with E-gmat, I learned how to look for the intention of the questions.
I highly recommend E-gmat to those who are willing to improve their GMAT score.

Before enrolling in E-gmat my accuracy in SC used to be 60-70%, after a week or so into the course I was at 80%+ accuracy. It all started making sense why I was getting the questions wrong and how to apporach SC efficiently. The 3 step process worked wonders for me. The video format of the course is very effective and provides in depth knowledge of all the things you need to master SC. The course is organized and has a nice flow which helps you get the maximum learning out of it. CR and RC courses are way better than other courses I have come across. The overall course really helped me go from V28-30 to V37-40 range. So I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to go beyond V37+.

I had given my GMAT more than a year ago with score of 620 and at that point of time I felt so low as soon as verbal section came. I had lost all hope. My quant was always strong, and CR,SC and RCs looked like herculean to me. I was quiet week in english . But each time I would come across an RC in the middle of my mocks, I would feel low and lose time and thereby end up rushing through my SC and CR questions as well consequently poor score.

Then,I read so many positive reviews about e-GMAT and I cannot thank e-gmat enough for making an awesome program. After a yearlong break, I felt the need to start over again the videos provided by e-GMAT made the journey a fun . I make handwritten notes while watching videos. I would really recommend it to you all as well. I make my notes nice and add screenshots and links to them.

The RC videos were really helpful as well. e-GMAT provides you a number of key strategies that you must keep in mind while reading through RCs. The one strategy that worked wonders for me was "to get immersed". I would literally tell myself at the beginning of each passage that "Oh! this sounds interesting, lets read what happens next!" I even used the note making approach during RCs quite regularly and was thereby able to get ALL my main point and structure questions right.

The other thing that I absolutely loved about the VLP was the scholaranium. It allows you to strenghten the weaker section. The random mix of questions of all difficulty level is also great help. You can create your own mocks without subscribing any redundant material from other sources.

Thank you e-GMAT once again
All the best to you all !!
