E-gmat verbal Online is an excellent course especially for non natives like me,The best thing about this course is that you don't get bogged down easliy as you do while reading heavyweight books from MGMAT /KAPLAN ,it has excellent audio visual modules for clearly understanding each and every concept of Gmat Verbal.
Here are my views about the various sections of Verbal online course:
Sentence Correction: I never paid attention towards meaning centric approach to solve SC questions, but this approach is an excellent tool to improve your accuracy levels from 40-50% to 90%.3 step approach immensely to eliminate the errors and pinpoint the correct answer choice.

Critical Reasoning: Pre-thinking is one of the best tools to tackle CR,it takes time to adapt to use this tool but as soon as get used to it,it helps immensely to eliminate the wrong answer choices.

RC: Steps mentioned in verbal online course helps a great deal to come out of the terror of long RC passages,getting immersed in the package and keeping a focused approach helps in making the correct choice in RC section.

In conclusion i would strongly recommend non-native and native speakers of English to try out e-GMAT courses.it would help you more than any other GMAT courses available in the market.Kudos to Rajat and team for making such a comprehensive verbal gmat course.

I took gmat in Nov14 and scored a measly 660 with a score of 31 in verbal section and this was despite covering the SC and CR books of Manhattan. I realized that I knew most of the grammar rules but I lacked in their application, I did not have an appropriate strategy to handle different types of questions. With the aim to improve the strategy part I was looking for an online source that can help me work on my deficiencies. It was at this juncture I came across egmat, I watched some of the free videos that were available and really liked them, I was particularly impressed with the emphasis given to the areas in which non native speakers generally lack and hence I decided to enroll for the course. The course content was comprehensive covering not only most advanced and challenging topics but also providing a solid foundation in basics. Videos covered each topic in detail and practice tests helped in reinforcing the concepts learned. Overall, I found the course to be extremely beneficial as it helped me work on weaknesses and reinforce areas of strength.

After several months of preparation I got a 710 - verbal 38 in my first gmat attempt. However, I had been consistently scoring around 740 in my practice tests. Most of the verbal questions that I would get wrong were the SC questions. I knew I could score better than 38 in verbal. So, I decided to attempt the exam gain. I used magoosh for verbal but the verbal content was not so good and my score did not improve.

As a last resort I enrolled for the SC course in egmat. The training videos were good but the most value for money comes from the questions. These questions could easily be seen on the gmat or atleast it tests the concepts that are tested in the gmat.The course and the questions lay a lot of emphasis on the meaning of the sentences. I would definitely recommend this approach since the meaning is the single most important factor in gmat SC.

Only after changing the way I was solving SC questions, I was able to increase my score. I got a V41 in the actual exam. the increase can definitely be attributed to the egmat SC course.

e-GMAT verbal online is comprehensive collection of study material for SC, CR and RC.

Really liked the overall quality of material. The level of precision that I have acquired in solving SC and CR question is due to the detailed and meticulous approach that e-GMAT recommends.

The core concepts such as pre-thinking and identifying splits are the key to achieving high score on GMAT and that where e-GMAT puts a lot of focus.

Also, the huge question bank is a great asset. The scholanarium is a helpful tool to assess your strengths and weakness.

Though the e-GMAT course is quite lenghty its worth the effort and time.

If you are a non-native English speaker looking to get your basics right and ace the test, this is the perfect test-prep company. The guys at e-GMAT know how most of us engineers are good or at least above average when it comes to quant but have a scope to improve when it comes to verbal. Without wasting more time, I'll quickly list down below what worked for me.
Verbal: Definitely benefited from the SC and CR sections to a large extent. The 3 step process and pre-thinking may seem really difficult to implement at first but believe me, practice 25-30 questions in each section consciously using these methods and eventually this will become second nature. The time taken to solve each question also goes down as you get a hang of this and begin to recognize patterns.

Quant: I should have definitely leveraged this section more than what I did. But that said, there are some incredibly useful lessons on solving some seemingly tricky problems such as units digit, tree structure and series. If your goal is to score Q49 and above, definitely try your hands at the advanced topics.

Scholarium: Well, this is one the best features of the program that gives you real-time feedback on your strengths, weaknesses, how much time you are spending on questions and where there is scope for improvement. Try to incorporate learnings from this early on in your study schedule and rest assured, you will definitely benefit from this.

In sum, the online lessons and hand-on coaches at e-GMAT make it easy for us working professionals with erratic schedules to learn core concepts in the shortest possible timespan. I'll definitely recommend this to anyone.

Nothing tastes better than success - The saying is so true and I will never forget the evening of 5th August, 2015 exactly 1 month back from today when I tasted long awaited success in the GMAT. It was my 3rd attempt at the GMAT and I can say I finally made it. I will never forget the last 2.5 years of testing times that I had to face to get through a decent score in the GMAT. Exactly 2.5 years ago I decided to take the GMAT and I must have gone through tons of materials before I finally scored a 680 in my 3rd attempt. Many would consider this as a medium range score but after 2 unsuccessful attempts of 560 and 570, this is like a fab score to me.
I decided to start with Kaplan material and after my 1st GMAT prep score of 600, I decided to enroll into a classroom coaching to build up my concepts. It was a 2 month weekend course and by the time, I could get a feel of the concepts, we were almost at the end of the session. I practiced a lot of questions and I gave the GMAT Prep a few more times with my last score being a 670. I had blocked my GMAT date long back and I was confident to score at least 650 plus in the main exam. I had begun well but somehow got caught in the time game and I had to hurry up the last questions in both the sections. Result was a 560 (Q 40, V27) on the screen. I was sad but then I knew that my weakness was time management and accuracy in crunch time. I had to manage my time and felt that some more practice along with time management would surely help me improve my score but the challenge was to improve by 100 points at least.
I then decided to join another coaching and chose one based on web reviews. The classroom coaching was really good and I planned to retake the exam within 6 months this time. I must have practiced at least 1500 odd problems and I took several online practice tests before I felt confident enough to give another attempt. i had scored in the range of 670 to 720 in all my tests and I could say that I was better prepared this time. I began very well in the Quant section but some tricky questions and I lost time again but I still regained ground and ended well (at least I thought so). I began the verbal section well but a few lengthy RC passages and I felt that I messed up RC. I thought I had made up by doing well on the CR and SC section but when I saw the final score 570 (Q 44, V 25), I was devastated. I gave the exam on a Friday and I spent the whole weekend sulking not able to pinpoint the real cause of failure.
Improvement by only 10 points was surely good enough to deter me from taking the GMAT again but I did not want to give up and wanted to give 1 last try. I read through a lot of reviews for online courses and I finally chose e-GMAT Verbal Online course. I thought the best way to attempt it the 3rd time would be to get an online teacher as I could read through the courses at any time of the day. I began with live online sessions held by Rajat and I felt good the first time I attended it. Both the quant and verbal sections were very well broken up by topics and sub topics and the details were good enough for any person to brush up the basics. I went through each module of the verbal section atleast twice so as to be more confident. Another advantage was access to the GMAT club and I must say that the e-GMAT course modules helped me approach the problems in a systematic way. The final push was the Scholaranium set, which actually helped me improve my accuracy while keeping a tab on the time. The D-day arrived and I was much confident this time. I could really time all questions very well and the final score read 680 (Q50, V31). I surely was a bit disappointed to see my Verbal score but nevertheless I made it. I would like to thank Rajat, Payal and the entire e-GMAT team for the wonderful online coaching that the team provides. One can learn and relearn the concepts again and again and at one.s own pace and time. In one word, e-GMAT rocks and I would recommend every GMAT taker and retaker to consider this course.
I took a long break before I went and reattempted the GMAT again simply because I needed to practice more and overcome my fear of failing in CATs.
Some things to remember:
1.Don.t give up just because you have failed earlier. Believe in yourself and pursue your dreams to get what you seek.
2.Prepare a little everyday even if it means solving only 10 questions every day
3.Refer to various GMAT forums to understand the concept behind each wrong question that you have attempted and you fill find a series of reasoning for that particular question
4.Practice, practice and practice on the timing so that you can beat the GMAT

I took my GMAT last October and I scored a dismal 500. I did not have a blueprint to follow nor a pattern that would get me prepared. All I did was go through fellow GMAT Takers experiences and hoping that I would be well prepared. But then when I took my exam , I was unknowingly under a lot of stress and could not perform well.

I did not study for another 6 months at least and then started cruising through forums again , attended couple of webinars from E-GMAT after which I realized E-GMAT is the one that is going to take me. I'm yet to take up my next exam again , yet I feel I now know so much that I did not know last time.

I'm sure and confident I will be performing better this time and would recommend this course without any hesitation since it is highly interactive in nature and hence keeps the course very interesting.

Being a non-native Verbal was always my weaker section.I could not find any improvement in mocks. I used to score a Min Q46+ in every mocks but was never able to cross V23,which was quite disappointing.Then after attending a free webinar on strategy from e-GMAT and looking at the reviews of fellow students, I determined to enroll for the verbal online course. The course is offered at a decent price and is quite reasonable than any other GMAT courses available in India.I have been preparing since 1 and half months and am finding it enormously helpful in building my verbal concepts.I never imagined that verbal section can be so methodical.Specially the methods for solving SC questions are really awesome and Kudos to the e-GMAT team for coming out with such a user friendly tool like Scholaranium which is really a great offering and helps me understand my abilities at a glimpse.

For a non-native e-GMAT's Verbal Online is a must to get a desired score.

E-Gmat Verbal Live helped me tremendously with my Verbal preparation. I was getting good marks in my mocks in the quant section but I always bombed my Verbal. After reading through the complete manhattan guides for verbal, I hadnt made much progress and that is when I read about the E-Gmat option in Gmatclub forum. I decided to give it a try and the explanations for various grammar rules, the explanation for the various nuances made my concepts very clear.
After going through the complete package and making notes, I took my remaining mocks and I could clearly see the difference in my verbal scores.

On the Gmat day, I scored 39 on my verbal (I was hoping for a 40+ score actually) but nevertheless, it was a good 10 points above my scores that I was getting before I studied the E-gmat verbal.
