e-GMAT verbal live prep is a best course available out there for non-natives. I signed up for e-GMAT verbal live prep and started preparing with sentence correction section. Thanks to AV methodology that I could improve my GMAT SC to a great extent. My accuracy level reached 90%. I attended 2-3 verbal live workshops as well. They were terrific. I am a great fan of Shraddha Jaiswal. The way she attacks SCs just blows my mind away. I learnt alot from her explanations. However, I couldn't complete GMAT RC due to some personal issues. CR is more or less OK, but I didn't find it very interesting, TBH. I kind of did CR on my won.
Before Signing for E-GMAT, I was bit confused initially about the on - demand Course, whether my queries will be answered, how will be the responses to my queries whether the content will be able to really help me understand the course and improve my score.
Moreover, Before Attending E GMAT, I Attended a classroom program in Hyderabad, Which did nothing to my confidence and I was more or less at the same place with nothing gained from that program. But E-GMAT has done wonders to my confidence just because they Made Sentence correction more qualitative by presenting the In depth explanation of Many concepts, To Name few of them
• How Ed modifiers are formed
• Relative Pronoun Modifier Modifying Previous Noun or far away Noun
I think they are available for free, guys if you just read them once , these article will change the way you approach these types of question. Before this I have read Manhattan SC guide, Princeton Verbal books But the way concept is present in E Gmat is Phenomenal, They don't just tell you the concept but they detail it to the extent that you feel comfortable and Interesting.
Enough About the SC but the way CR and RC is explained in their verbal online course is also very good. They try to channelize your thinking process towards the correct and with more & more practise answers start becoming oblivious for CR and SC Questions
I Would Definitely Recommend E GMAT Verbal Online Course to anyone who is non native and looking to improve his GMAT score.
Thanks

When I 1st thought of taking up GMAT, I knew verbal is where I’ll fall. After going through MGMAT SC and CR practicing a lot from different sources, I scored 28 in verbal which solidified my fear. I immediately started preparing for my 2nd attempt but was in doubt as I didn’t have clear plan for verbal. One of friends recommended e-GMAT to me and after attending the free strategy and RC class, I was confident that it’ll be helpful for me.
My weakest area, being a non-native, was SC. In my 1st attempt I was completely surprised that the questions I was doing in the actual test were out of my comprehension, even though I did go through a number of materials online and scored above 700 multiple times during the prep. After attending the 1st few classes of SC, my problem was clear to me. I had difficulty understanding the meaning of the question. My previous strategy was to look for an error in question and read all the options and eliminate them accordingly.
e-GMAT focus on meaning understanding really helped me. For me best aspect of the course were the live sessions. I was able to clear my doubts and at the same time see various others queries and problems which my fellow classmates were having. The discussion in live session really helped me hone my verbal understanding.
Fortunately after just a 45 days of signing up, I gave my 2nd attempt and scored 37 in verbal, yielding an overall score of 730.
I would recommend e-GMAT to anyone having difficulties in verbal. Their course structure is designed help noobs & pros alike. Most importantly it won’t hurt your pocket as much as its competitive courses would.
e-gmat has helped me in a long way in improving my verbal score from 24 to 36 (12 points improvement). The Verbal Live prep is exclusively design for those who lacks in basics and has a very simple language and examples to make a student grasp the fundamentals. The Workshops included in this course are really an eye opener and gives a final kick to your preparations. Moreover, SC with emphasis on understanding the meaning rather than divulging into terms is unique approach and is a differentiating factor. I have been greatly benefited by this and its a must for anyone struggling in verbal.Their latest addition of Scholarnium section which has got excellent combination of GMAT type question of various level of difficulties provide with you with final touch on your preparation
It was my 4th GMAT attempt. The first attempt was way back in 2013 so I wouldn't consider it for this review. I had a score of 690 (Q50 V33) on the 2nd attempt. I wanted to apply to the top schools, hence I was a little concerned about the score. I decided to take a retake but due to unavoidable circumstances didn't do well on the 3rd attempt. I wanted to give one final attempt by concentrating on verbal. I used to be active on gmat club and heard about e-gmat verbal prep and had a discount offer in my mail. I took e-gmat verbal live prep because my verbal score was on the lower side.
I started with Sentence Correction. I soon realised that the content was well planned and structured in a way that made learning pretty easy. I followed a routine to complete the content and simultaneously did the assessments, which helped me to get an idea of my strong and weak zones. I used to attend the live classes and workshops as well.
I scored a 730 (Q51 V37) on the 4th attempt.
I wont stretch it any longer. If you feel you're not bad at Verbal but are not able to score well on your mock tests or the actual GMAT, this course is for you. This preparation helped me to reach the correct answer faster than I used to. this helped me to reach the difficult questions faster and afford the time to spend on them. I still don't have a role model score, but I have just enough to give you all a hope who need that wee bit extra in verbal to cross the 700 mark.
The guys at e-gmat are amazing. Their response time to your queries will amaze you. Krishna can be a bother at times ;). I must applaud Shraddha for the SC section.
Practice hard but dont run like a bull. Planning and strategising are important. How to tackle the exam is as important as knowing the right answers. Well this is not the most structured review. Kindly bear with me on this as it was a sudden flow of emotions that I have tried to articulate.
I have taken my first gmat in dec 2013 and it was complete disaster . I have scored 17 on verbal and i had completely broken by my performance and i thought of not giving the GMAT again . In the month of april 2015 i again restarted my preparation and after lot of research i have taken E-gmat VLP and quant online course . From day one i was feeling the improvement in SC,RC and CR . E-gmat strategy for SC is very helpful , their course material are also very exhaustive .Live sessions are the application of the concept taught on the concept files . After completing SC i have done RC . understanding sentence structure helped me improving the RC . CR has six live session .Once completing the materials one will definitely see improvement in their score .
E-GMAT verbal online is a great course for GMAT verbal prep. I signed up for the course and I became more and more confident to solve GMAT verbal questions.
This course takes you from the scratch to the advanced level. All the videos are simple to comprehend. This course is not about the grammar but logic. E-GMAT team take step by step approach in videos to train the students in every aspect of GMAT verbal.
Honestly, one should go for the course, if one is looking for above 70% percentile in GMAT verbal. I have revised the course 2 times and hoping to score in 80th percentile of verbal in my next attempt.
I purchased the verbal live prep some time in May and have been using it as my primary gmat resource. It is a very good product which stresses on basic concepts instead of providing tricks to ace the gmat. The GMAT is an exam which tests logic and cannot be tricked. This course builds your foundation and is a great resource for people looking to attack the GMAT in a systematic manner. The meaning analysis in sentence correction and the prethinking method in Critical Reasoning helps to solve even the most difficult questions and do wonders to your confidence which ultimately affects your GMAT score under timed conditions.
I have been working for nearly 7 years and one day decided to go for an executive MBA. So, during my search for ex mba I learnt that I need a GMAT score for application. So, I started to solve GMAT questions online. Since, I am an engineer quants section was not a big problem for me other than seeing how to approach data sufficiency questions. But, the real devil was verbal. I had no clue what to do with difficult CR questions and no idea about how to approach SC and RC. Totally bemused I started searching on web about GMAT study material and luckily find out about e gmat. I read their reviews which were generally very good and e gmat was also very cost effective. So, I subscribed e -gmat and started taking their lessons. The way e gmat describe approach to solve SC is brilliant. Suddenly it became all easy to understand the questions and what to look into it. Same goes with CR and RC which introduced me to pre thinking which changed my way of solving the RC and CR questions. In all it was a wonderful learning experience and I recommend all the non natives to see egmat's free webinars and decide for themselves which course to go for.
I was a re-taker who had earlier taken GMAT in April 2014, when I joined e-GMAT in May 2015. More than a year had passed and I wanted to start my GMAT preps from the beginning. Based on reviews provided in GMATClub and after attending some of the live sessions offered by e-GMAT, I decided to join e-GMAT. The three things that make this course special are:
1. The clear-cut strategies for every question type it offers.
2. The course structure, which takes the student from the basics to the advanced level
3. The proficient instructors it has for delivering its live prep courses. Instructors who are good at handling online courses, with several participants and still not compromising on the quality of the course.
In short, E-GMAT live prep course is for anyone who wants to follow a structured approach in their preparations. This course does what it promises to provide and is a really great course for those aiming for decently good score in GMAT.
