i have purchased egmat verbal online course 2 months back as i was very poor in verbal, the course has a very methodical approach for each section and i learnt a lot from it there using the pause tactics and meaning based approach has really helped me in gaining some confidence in sentence correction part of the verbal , the course is also very handy for critical reasoning and reading comprehension part it also covers integrated reasoning . in totality i feel any one who is week in verbal should definitely give it a try also the scholarium is a nice place to test your newly gained skills it has some gmat type questions on which you can test your skills also you can set the difficulty level according tp your understanding
e-gmat's Verbal live prep was a super helpful program. I tried using several books and one other online source. I had a hard time using each of those because they didn't bring in the comprehensive learning approach that egmat's verbal live prep brings. I'll go through each section of egmats verbal live prep and how it was helpful. But first just to clarify, the only reason I gave a 4 star general rate was for functionality of the site. There was a couple times I had problems with general "bugginess" of the the site and where the site went down when I was in crunch time for studying. It was only off for a few minutes but was still annoying. Other than that the site worked great and didn't have any problems. The online modules and web recordings are all incredibly effective because of the interactivity. The interactive nature of the modules allow the user to learn and retain what you're learning. Scholaranium is a great tool to solidify and practice everything you've learned in the learning model.
Sentence Correction: The sentence correction program was incredibly effective. The reason it worked so well was that not only does the program teach grammar rules, it teaches on a meaning based approach. No other program that I tried took this approach and as a result no other program was as effective as egmats. When solving SC questions, testers should not only be thinking about if the grammar rules are correct, but what meaning is the author trying to get across. After learning this my SC approach changed.
Critical Reasoning: Like in my sentence correction approach, I changed my CR approach when I went through the online module. It teaches you to go for meaning when reading the CR question. After I got that concept down, CR started making sense. I didn't rush through problems worrying about time. I didn't look for shortcuts. I took a very fundemental approach to every problem I faced and ensured I understood exactly what the sentence was saying and what was being asked.
Reading Comprehension: RC is an area I really needed help with. Prior to talking the verbal live prep course I tried several ineffective approaches. The approach that worked was egmats, which teaches you to slow down, ensure you are comprhending each sentence you read through, stop and pause when you need time to think about what you read and not oversaturate your mind, and making effective notes that allows you to understand the purpose of the paragraph and allows you to know where to look for specific detail problems.
Started at 610 (Q48 V28), scored today 720 (Q48 V41)
I enjoyed this course. It provided me the solid concepts and application tactics to score high in Verbal. As a non-native speaker, I struggled a lot with the verbal section. I tried other courses such as Manhattan, but I did not have the results I got with e-GMAT. E-Gmat is easy to follow, and you can have discounted prices if you need an extension of the course. It is the most cost-effective course is available on the market right now.
The architecture of the course is amazing. I definitely suggest live sessions... they provide so many useful tips. And also take advantage of the Q&A section for each exercise, just reading the questions and answers provide so many valuable insights.
And Scholaranium helps structure the fine tuning to improve accuracy.
The team answers really fast and they know what they are doing.
I am so grateful of having found this course, I really recommend it to anyone who is non-native speaker and wants to improve Verbal for good.

I had prepared on my own using the Manhattan Prep Interact (on demand) option for two months. However, I never really found improvement. I constantly got 650s on all of my practice tests and on the actual exam. However, I switched to the live online advanced course (to help those struggling to break the 700 barrier), and it was a tremendous help. My instructor, Mark, was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and offered great strategy and advice. It was a lot of fun going to class. At the end of the course, I took the GMAT again and was able to break the 700 barrier. Manhattan Prep is correctly referred to as the gold standard of GMAT Prep. It was such a big help. Definitely upgrade to the live online class
E-gmat verbal course is so beautifully structured. It helped me improve from a V21 in gmat prep to a V38 in the real gmat. I dreaded the verbal section especially CR & a 17 point improvement in verbal could not have been possible without this course. Live sessions complement the online modules to give a candidate everything that's needed to ace verbal. Signing up for the e-gmat verbal live prep on the advice of many colleagues proved to be so fruitful.
Thanks e-gmat for creating such a wonderful product to help the gmat aspirants. The course gives a holistic learning experience and does not endorse shortcuts, making it a great fit for any aspirant who is methodical in the preparation. You would not be required to remember much or apply shortcuts rather just getting the basics right will help. Scholaranium gives ample practice to make you test ready.
When i started preparing for GMAT, Verbal was my biggest problem area and it was extremely difficult for me to understand why certain options were incorrect and one was correct. I could never never understand any logic behind it.
I wasted 5 weeks doing Manhattan and OG, it just didnt work for me.
I finally came across e-gmat and after a lot of research and asking around i bought the Verbal Live Prep course. From there, there was no looking back. Initially after scoring V25-28 continuously in mocks, i finally score a V35 in the GMAT, enough for the 700 score.
The structure of the course is well defined, easy to follow and track. Audio Visual files of concepts is extremely helpful and a completely new way of teaching a course.
There are enough concept and practice modules for understanding the basics. However, it is never enough. The Scholaranium has some really good GMAT like 700 questions to practice.
They have a very simple 3 step approach which is easy to follow. Their approach is very logical and focuses on the meaning of sentences/ passages and this works wonders!
The Verbal Live Course is exactly the same as the verbal course, except the former has weekend webinars which is very helpful and surprisingly very close to a classroom. Also it kept me on track to complete modules before the weekend webinars. This was a big help for lazy people like me who procrastinate a lot.
However, if you are disciplined enough and keep yourself on track, even the verbal course is as good. You won't be missing out on much.
I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out the right material such as egmat for Verbal, i could have saved a lot of time. So don't be like me, just got for the egmat verbal courses if you are really struggling!
Hi all,
Iam a non-native speaker and I see Gmat is a dread examination that I have ever had. After a short term that I was confident to study by myself, I failed the exam and then I was so confused Who I am. One day, I found E-gmat course on gmat club and then I recognize that It is a key factor so as to help me understand exactly the significant skills needed in the exam.
In SC, I can recognize each mistake swiftly. In CR, pre-thinking is a key that helps me to tackle argument and understand the core. RC is considered as the most difficult test and e-gmat course has a unique method to deal with.
All in all, I also have Verbal Scholaranium to practice before the primary exam and I hope I can achieve the best score.
I recommend this course to everybody who pursue a best score at gmat test.
Thanks e-gmat course!
I gave the GMAT about a year back and was devasted looking at my score. I scored poorly on Quant. I realized during the process what I need is a more structure oriented process on my Quant. Although the questions of GMAT can be done due to the limitation of time and not following a step by step approach to solving each problem I faltered at the main exam ending up guessing more than 6-7 questions on my GMAT exam. On my next attempt I took up the EGMAT quant online course also and I saw a drastic improvement on my speed to solve problems following the 3 step approach to solve any given problem.
Through the course and the data analytics used on each chapter, I identified what my weakness was.To improve on the speed I used to use Scholaranium which was a great help in providing useful insights on which none numericals did I spent more time on . Also how can one use minimize the number of steps for problems which of a 650 level and up .The practice quizzes helped me solidify my foundations on each chapter. I didn't even realize when I reached from a level of Q35 to Q43 within a month . I wouldn't say Q43 is a kickass score but it made me reach quite close to the magical Q51 now. Thank you egmat for the support provided throughout the journey and I hope others will also get motivated reading this

First of all, I consider myself lucky to be writing this review. Never thought of doing this one day. Special thanks to e-gmat team!!
It is easier to help a student who is already on V30+ and looking for a better score in verbal. Actual challenge is to show the way to someone who started from V20s. By the way, that was me. I started my GMAT journey in 2015 with my first official score of 540 (Q41 V23). I was devastated but more than that I was perplexed. I gave some 120+ hours on my studies, solved all the OG questions with decent accuracy and was confident too. However, the GMAT was not at all happy with my performance.
Thereby, I started searching for a course which can give me answers to my questions. Needless to say, I tried a lot of options earlier, but it was e-gmat course which caught me eye.
E-gmat tremendous course content, experts support and root cause fixing approach helped me get comfortable in verbal for the first time during my entire GMAT journey.
I would recommend e-gmat verbal to someone who really wants to work on the root theme of GMAT verbal pattern and not just clearing the exam. It would not just help you score better in GMAT but also make you understand business english better.
I made a whooping improvement of 130 points with my recent score of 670 (Q49, V33).
Thanks e-gmat team for being such a great influencer in my GMAT journey and helping students all over the globe to reach their target score.
PS: I was also a student of e-gmat Quant online course and improved my score from Q41 to Q49.
Good Luck and Best Wishes!!

It focuses primarily on the concepts and has enough practice questions to make the concepts stronger. I'd recommend this for anyone who is starting with the GMAT prep. People at advance stages of prep can also use this to review and revise their concepts
This course helped me the achieve a verbal score of 38 on my first attempt at the exam..
I'd even recommend to view all the lessons at least twice in order to brush up the concepts. The practice questions are also very good and unlike any other prep program. The explanations that are provided are very detailed and easy to understand.
To put it in a nutshell, this is an excellent course for any GMAT aspirant
