I am a non-native speaker. Before taking egmat course, i tried manhattan gmat. The SC session for MGMAT is highly rated, but somehow it didnt help me much. My SC was not improved aftering using the MGMAT SC. I read from gmat-club that egmat is really good for non-native speakers, so i started using egmat. At first, i only chose the verbal online courses. Later i found my verbal, especially SC and RC, greatly improved aftering takkng the course, so i added the verbal live prep package. E-gmat is really great for non-native speakers. My verbal improved from 35 to 40. Thanks to e-gmat!

I signed up for the Magoosh Premium course after completing the Magoosh 7 day trial and reading through some of the Magoosh free instructional materials in the Mahoosh GMAT BLOG. So far my experience with Magoosh has been great. You can practice questions and watch video lessons at your own pace. The best benefit of Magoosh is that the explanations given in practice questions are very clear and illustrated in the video and in text. I also highly recommend downloading the Magoosh Apps (Math and Idioms) so that you can practice on the go. These apps are very well designed and contain a plethora of questions to help you prepare. At $99 for 1 year access, Magoosh is a must have for anyone taking the GMAT.

I'll straight go to the point. Thank You e-GMAT.
I am an Indian male with a mediocre schooling wrt English. I wouldn't mind conceding that even my basics of English (verbs/nouns) weren't clear when I started on this journey called GMAT. I read Wren n Martin English Grammar to improve. My diagnostic test results were 570. I knew the road ahead is long. Thus I went on and on, from reading Economist to learning grammar from random English grammar websites. 6 months and my first attempt yielded a 620. I was really upset. Then I decided to take-up the e-GMAT course. I had attended their free webinars. I went from 620 to 730 in 4 months. I could have done this in lesser time but due to hectic work hours and I wanted this attempt to be the best yet. e-GMAT really made the difference by teaching right from the "basics". They taught what is important and the strategies were undoubtedly helpful. For me SC became a cake walk.
I think I could have pulled out a 750 but got a bit distracted. Rajat says in one of his webinars that the first 10 questions are important. Indeed they are. At question no 21 I got a RC that was 5 para and of difficulty level I had never practiced before. I knew i was on the right path. But trying to tackle this RC I lost a lot of time. Which forced my to skip 4 questions in the end. But still I managed a 730! Sad but still happy I pushed out a 110 point improvement.
The course is perfect for non-native speakers!

My English is very bad to start with. I took the gmat test after doing my kind of preparation and got really bad score mostly because of verbal. I wanted to improve but was totally hopeless how to go about preparing, since i had already went through all the gmat material. My conclusion was that it will take take time to improve my verbal. I started reading a lot of novels, economist and other websites that i never liked. It did improve my English a bit but the best thing was when i saw the e-gmat free lectures. It was very helpful for me and now i have found a way to improve my verbal. Best part of e-gmat is they have explained the topics very well with good examples and practice questions. They have explained each and every question. It feels like you are attending a live class. I feel confident that i can get better score in gmat. I used to love maths and used to hate verbal section of the exam. At least i don't hate it that much.

I took gmat two year back, but i was not able to score well in verbal section. i took outside coaching and various other courses to imrpove my verbal skills. but improvement was minimal, Even after scoring 48 in quant was nt able to get more then 29 in verbal. i started believing that GMAt is not my cup of tea. but i always wanted to prove my self wrong . i decided to start my preparations for one last time .I joined e-gmat verbal course and within a week results started favoring my stand . RC which was most feared topic for me became my favorite topic.I have been told earlier that there is nothing one can do about RC, but I am glad to say that if one follows e-GMAT process significant improvement in RC is possible. thanks to EGMAT team, . After completing the CR and SC course,my accuracy increased greatly
i am lot more confident now.i strongly recommend this verbal course to the other non natives
thanks

Although that i have not finished the course yet, but till now the course is really great!!! it offers too much practice and a very useful technique to solve SC & CR (i have not started the RC yet).
I subscribed for 6 months but as i was so busy with both my personal life and my professional life i was not able to finish the course in the mentioned period so i asked for a one month extension and e-GMAT team approved it.

I have not tested other GMAT courses but i think (from my point of view) this course is recommended for non-natives.

I started my preparation for GMAT in September 2013. I used Manhattan GMAT books for my preparation primarily because of its reputation. Though all the concepts were covered in detail, I found these difficult to grasp. Moreover, they were very vast and hence, time consuming. With the concepts that I learned from these books, I started solving the Official Guide questions with reasonable success. Finally, I took the GMAT on January 2014. It was a complete disaster- a score of 620 Q48 V27. I started analyzing the reasons for my failure. I found that the sentence correction section was my nemesis. I decided to sign up for a new course. I enrolled to the Verbal Live Prep Course of e-gmat as I read some exceptional reviews about it in GMATclub. Having used it, I got to admit that it is the easiest, fastest and the most efficient way to master Sentence Correction problems. The critical reasoning course was also good. The pre-thinking process, as emphasized by e-gmat, works wonders in solving questions. The live sessions of e-gmat further enhances our skills to a whole new level. In short, it is the best course available for Verbal Section of GMAT, especially for non-natives.

e-GMAT is one of the best course offered to international students.

I was searching for a course which offers basic as well as advanced level knowledge for verbal. I had attended e-GMAT free live sessions and founded the extraordinary teaching method which helped me to remember the topics very easily. So, I decided to join e-GMAT verbal live prep course.

e-GMAT provides the course structure from basic concept file to advanced level. If you regularly follow the program planning provided by e-GMAT, you will get an excellent result. I enjoyed the learning like watching a movie. So, it's amazing experience.

Like others, I started my GMAT PREP using OG guides. Being non-native, I found myself struggling in learning the various SC rules. After lot of research and browsing, I joined e-gmat verbal online course. Its actually a very good and informative course, where you can easily understand the logical aspect of GMAT English. After completing the verbal online, I enrolled for the Live Prep program so as to solidify verbal foundation. As expected, this further increase my confidence regarding the prep. As per my experience, I learn more in 1 session of e-gmat than from a book on the same verbal topic.

In my first attempt, I scored 680 in GMAT. Thanks to e-gmat course and OG guides. I didn't go through any other study material, which helped me in staying focused and completing the course in time (around 2 months).

Use the following approach to gain the most from this course:
1. Complete all the prerequisite with due diligence.
2. Trust the process mentioned in the course and apply it for all the question you attempt.
3. Don't stray away from official material. Its better to go for quality than quantity.
4. Course will teach you concept in simple and easy way, but you only have to excel in the application of the those concepts.

Let me start with first thing first, I am non-native speaker and I am still preparing for big day in Feb'15. while I am preparing I thought I will share my experience with the course, so others could benefit from the course and take advantage of this.

PROS -

SC
One of the best comprehensive module is Sentence Correction. Every single topic you could think of has been covered in detail with live sessions.I have tried Knewton too, but I must say I didn't regret at all having signed up for e-GMAT. all videos and live sessions are so great even if it's been years you haven’t seen grammar book or not familiar with basic grammar jargons. This course will fill the gap. Lot of PDF files on resource section I went through most of them along with videos really clear the concepts with examples.

After going through eGMAT SC I feel lot of confidence in SC questions even the toughest ones from OG13 I could crack within 2 minutes. I would highly recommend this course if you want to improve and get good score on verbal.

CR – it’s being more on logical side where some people don’t need lot of background rules once you get familiar with type of questions, but again you need process to tackle the questions. eGMAT CR pre-thinking helps a lot and it saves the time for sure. I have improved in section too.

RC – I liked break down approach of eGMAT. To take pause after each paragraph in passage or depending on logical shift within passage so you can digest what has been discussed and predict what could be coming next. I gained lot of improvement in RC questions after I finished lessons from RC.

Area of Improvement -

One of the area I see eGMAT should improve on having performance dashboard. I have seen dashboard from Manhattan(free account) and Maghoosh. I really wish if eGMAT could build something like that where one can see performance snapshot as in whole it’s really helpful to see the accuracy on higher level. Especially when you want to review questions you have struggled with or got wrong and even with timing issue. With dashboard you can simply filter and jump into topic where you see you have spent more time and have issues with topic. I am sure who has seen those dashboards could feel this need with eGMAT.

Overall I would recommend this course for verbal.

Nitin Khanna
