I first heard of e-GMAT through a friend that had used the course for her exam. After reading quite a hefty amount of reviews of several services, I chose e-GMAT for its attractive price entry and great reviews. I'm so glad I did so!

e-GMAT's Blietzkrieg platform is really user-friendly, organizing each of SC, CR and RC separately. Its videos are really easy to follow and uses both theory and examples to convey what it's most important for any test taker to know. I love that they provide "Application Quizzes" for each of the topics as this helps cement the understanding on how to approach different type of questions. Additionally, its Scholaranium is perfect to help you understand where are your weaknesses and strengths and thus get better through practice and through a thorough understanding of the concepts with the video lessons.

By the end of each lesson, I felt like I had mastered the approach that they teach and I think that's the most important thing I've learnt so far. It's not so much about knowledge but rather on how to approach each question. The "pre-thinking" technique on each of the SC, CR and RC sections has helped me improve my verbal score on mock tests significantly from V37 to V41.

e-GMAT's approach helped me rethink how I had been studying and would definitely recommend it to anyone who has had a difficult time with the verbal section of the exam.

Good luck to everyone!

I started testing myself with free GMAT practice exam from Veritas and Manhattan prep. My verbal score was near about 27-28. A friend of mine suggested me about e-Gmat. This course helped me to raise my verbal sectional score by 10 points, up to 38. Though my score at actual Gmat was a bit lower than the practice tests this was due to exam pressure. the e-Gmat course is very well defined and provides one of the best analysis of your preparation.E-GMAT focuses from the very basic reading technique up to the most advanced problems. I would highly recommend this to anyone and especially to non-native English speaker.

I took the Verbal Online course on E-GMAT prep provider. The detailed video lectures and crisp summary help understand the concepts very well especially sentence correction. It segregates the topics efficiently and in small chunks which is very helpful in understanding difficult concepts. The examples in each section are to the point and bring out the essential focus point of the topic. The questionnaire after every topic helps you find your weak points in particular concepts. Also the detailed answer and approach is what of utmost significance.
My verbal was very poor the first time i gave GMAT. After taking e-gmat verbal online course my score increased significantly from V24 to V37. This increase is the major reason for my success at GMAT. I would definitely suggest Verbal Online as it would be very efficient in preparing your for GMAT Verbal in the limited timeframe.

I am using this course from almost a month and I can defintely tell you that it is the one of the best course availabe for native as well as non-native english speaker for improving the verbal score.In addition to this i found e-gmat verbal as much fasinating and helpful as verbal.
The course teaches you the verbal in such a methodical way, that gradually you will become good in all of the aspects.
The best thing i want to point out that at one place it explain you why you have selected the wrong answer choice but it also tell you why you haven't selected the correct answer choice.
I find it very fasinationg that how gradually you become good at verbal as well as quant in short amount of time that you will not know.
Just follow the the methodical way the egmat teaches you and you will definitly reach the 700 score border.

And of course this course is value for money because after trying so many courses available online finally i recommendit it most.

Kudos to e-gmat Team !!

I started by GMAT preparation a year back. I initially enrolled for classroom program at a bid time coaching firm. In my first attempt at GMAT, I scored a 640. I was pretty disappointed and immediately booked for another exam slot in one month. In my next attempt, I scored a 680. While I did better than in my previous attempt, the score was below my threshold. I did not have much issue in quant but my verbal score was not very good.

I was not sure on why I was not getting the score I needed. I did not book for another exam slot immediately as I figured that unless I change my preparation strategy, I might end up getting another score in 600s.

2-3 months passed and I did not focus on GMAT (I guess I wanted a break from the preparation). A friend of mine recommended e-GMAT to me. He had taken the verbal prep course and found it beneficial. I checked out the website and decided to enroll for the verbal part.

The SC portion in e-gmat was pretty good. e-gmat focuses on the concepts rather than just eliminating answers coz they don't sound good (I always eliminated "being", but then e-gmat taught me that there are cases when "being can be correct also).

The key to getting the SC correct is to master the concepts and keep applying it on the 700+ questions in 1 - 1.5 minutes.

Initially, I did not practice for CR as I figured that this section needs no preparation. A lot of ppl were talking about "pre-thinking" and I never really understood the fuss behind it. But my accuracy in CR was not high and I had to confront myself on it. I started focusing on "pre-thinking" concept. I would not say that I mastered it, but it definitely helped.

For RC, I focused on creating para summaries in order to derive the intention of the passage. I always ran out of time till I reached the 4th passage in the exam. I could only attempt the 4th passage if it was an easy topic and if it took me ~1 min to read it. Even with the new exam pattern, I still had to face 4 RC passages. That puts a lot of emphasis on decoding the passage quickly.

Overall, I would say that e-gmat was quite useful in my preparation. I would recommend it to anyone looking to improve his/her verbal score.

As a non-native speaker, and even though I had a very good level of grammar and comprehension of English, I found the Verbal section of the GMAT a bit hard to decode. I could not get the tricks behind the questions or get my mind around some of the grammar rules that for English speakers are usual, but for a non-native speaker are hard to understand.

But ever since I started the course at e-GMAT my ability to comprehend the types of questions and wire my brain accordingly improved so much I had a great boost in my confidence. It provides several options to customize the quizzes in the Scholarium and allows you to train the concepts and the right way to face the questions.

I did not get the score I want in the test, but certainly, I will by continuing my preparation with e-GMAT.

Best of luck!

I did the accelerated GMAT course with Emily Sledge. If you're able to spend money on a class, this one is definitely worth the investment.

After the class ends, you receive a personalized practice plan. This was very valuable because it helped me stay accountable and focus well during crunch time. Emily was always accessible by email and helped me after the course finished when I was hitting a quant roadblock.

The online format is pretty similar to a live classroom, and the practice tests are just like the real test setup (I personally thought the practice test quant sections were harder than test day).

I also liked how the course included strategies for staying calm because the GMAT is a mentally tough exam.

Absolutely phenomenal experience. Daniel and Ceilidh were both excellent instructors and my skills improved dramatically under them. The books and all of the online materials that come along with the course are all very well put together and were immensely useful aids throughout. The instructors integrated these materials flawlessly and ensured all relevant topics were covered. The combo of the online self paced videos with the live online class worked extremely well. Specifically, having the ability to interest with a small (10-20 person) group and share ideas and strategies helped tremendously. Hands down the best prep available and a no-brainer if you’re shooting for 700+.

The quant section helped me brush up my basic knowledge with video explanations. It is very convenient and user-friendly because it is easy to track what you have learned. It tells how much time you have spent on each section, there are some applications, which are in GMAT-like style to test whether you totally understand the lessons and apply to GMAT or not. The program is interactive and focuses on your weaknesses. The support team at Magoosh is extremely cordial and understanding. All issues are quickly resolved within 24 hours. I believe Magoosh’s core value puts students’ priority at its focus, something that is strongly reflected in the e-GMAT support team. Magoosh blogs and videos helped me to rebuild the confidence. I would strongly recommend this service to anyone because I think the value provided for the cost is great.

I subscribed to VLP after having a dismal performance on the GMAT for the 3rd consecutive time. Although I have been an eGMAT client for over two years, I never really implemented the eGMAT processes and always answered questions based on shortcuts and gut feeling. Though I learnt the concepts well from VO, I still succumbed to pressure and anxiety at the time of the test.

Before I share my 2 cents on VLP, let me clarify a myth right here. VLP isn’t a classroom model (instructor-led) coaching to teach you the basics and redo the VO course, but with an instructor instead, VLP complements the VO by helping you to assume the role of both the test maker (Prethink) and test taker (POE). This is precisely why VLP is the best course available in the market.

Here are my brief opinions about the VLP course, in parts:

RC: I have heard enough of reading the passage slowly but never spent my time in knowing what is the optimal reading speed and time. VLP – RC sessions helped me discover how to read a passage and answer RC questions with high accuracy. I have now improved my accuracy to over 80% from a meagre 50%, and I attribute it entirely to the master comprehension course and the VLP- RC sessions.

CR: I usually fare better at CR generally with 70% accuracy but the average time I spend on CR question was way over 2:30 mins. However, after diligently applying the approaches (Prethink and POE) taught in the live sessions, I am now able to see a good improvement in my accuracy while taking much lesser time to answer CR questions (< 2 mins).

SC: I used to score low in SC due to poor comprehension skills. The master comprehension course helped me a lot in SC as well. Now I can break down sentences into smaller chunks and assimilate the meaning and proceed with the POE. The instructors who conducted the live sessions helped me understand the different processes in solving the different error types and made the SC question-solving process a breeze. I have improved my accuracy by leaps and bounds but taking close to 2 mins, which I believe will come down naturally with good practice.

Having outlined these opinions, I believe I will be able to apply the VLP approaches in my next retake and achieve my target score. Stay tuned for a debriefing after my GMAT.

Final Verdict: VLP course will make you think like a test-maker thereby resulting in improving your accuracy to peak levels, and VLP should be your go-to course if you are targeting a good verbal score (V40+).
