My Background:
Although I am not a native, I completed elementary to university education in Canada.
I have a mechanical engineering degree.
I have been working for 6 years as a project management professional in the oil and gas industry.
Initially, without any studying my baseline was 630 (Q47, V30) based on GMAC's prep test. I gave myself 50 days to study for the exam in total, and dedicated 10 days on the verbal section.

General Thoughts:
I purchased e-GMAT service because I heard so many good things about what the company offers. True enough, the contents offered were fantastic and of high quality.
However, if you are a native English speaker or someone like me, who has a good command of the language, the progress may seem a bit too dull. I found myself often skipping / fast forwarding on video lectures. To be honest, I lost my patience with the progression and started to study on my own. However, that is not a reason to take away any points from the quality of e-GMAT.

Result:
After 5 days of studying with e-GMAT plus 5 days of studying on my own, I took three GMAC's prep tests.
In the three mock exams, I scored (38, 40, 39 respectively). In the actual exam, I scored V38.

Would I recommend this e-GMAT?:
Yes and no. It really depends on what type of a student you are, and what your background is. For me, I was able to review valuable core concepts that I sort of have taken for granted (as I studied English throughout elementary to high school). Beyond that, studying on my own proved to be more efficient. However, if you are a non-native or you do not use English on a daily basis I would highly recommend e-GMAT.

If you have a day job and you’re working 5 days a week and you want to crack GMAT so badly in a go, the eGMAT online course is exactly what you need. Currently, I am preparing for my second GMAT as my first one didn’t go as planned. It was all Self-study with assistance from online videos from different sources and of course, OG’s. But for the second attempt, I really wanted to do it differently and avoid the same mistakes that I did before. I was looking for one course that would help me develop a methodical and structural approach to solve any GMAT problems and also help manage time in this busy schedule of mine.

After doing a lot of research myself, reading online reviews, I enrolled in eGMAT Quant Online Course. The eGMAT Quant course is a very well-designed and elegantly presented prep tool. After eGMAT’s latest enhancement, the look and feel is top-notch. It is so easy to navigate and everything is self-explanatory. The biggest advantage for Working Professionals like me is that it lets you study at your own pace.

The Quant Online course has everything that you need to ace GMAT Quant section. It helps you develop a Study plan depending on your target score and also it comes with an online tool to help you realize your sectional abilities. This is actually very cool! The Course is categorized into 5 sub-sections: Number Properties, Algebra, Geometry, Word Problems and Advanced Topics. Each sub-section has a lot of content and study material along with a lot of Practice and Application Files. After eGMAT’s latest enhancement, the course also includes problems from OG 2017 and 2018. This is saving me a lot of time.

The Scholaranium is where you can take customized quizzes and also test your individual section abilities. This is really helping me to identify my strong and weak areas and focus more on the weaker sections. This is a great tool and the way it considers the candidate's performance and does all the planning for the candidate is a big help. It is easy-to-use, versatile and flexible.

The Course is definitely a Confidence booster! It’s been few weeks since I started my prep using this course and I feel so good about it. I am confident that I will be able to hit Q50 mark this time. It was Q47 in my first attempt.

I would strongly recommend eGMAT online courses (both Verbal and Quant). The program is interactive and focuses on your weaknesses, with plenty of exercises and a full explanation on why each of the answers is wrong or correct. You get to learn many time-saving tips and techniques. The Support team is very helpful and excellent in responding to any queries.

Don’t ponder over. Trust eGMAT and go with it. Good Luck.

I have joined e-gmat Verbal on-line after reading many reviews with positive feedback about it. I have used both the on-line course and also scholaranium practice tool for verbal. Although I am still in the process for re-taking the exam I already can provide some insights about how the scholaranium tool is robust. The tool has the followings benefits:
1- It is close to GMAT question type to great extent,
2- It has the option of customizing practice to certain verbal areas to focus on weakness areas
3- It provides great analytics about your weakness, strengths
4- The e-gmat staff are great, they provide answer to any clarification, also the already existing feedback under each question is already helpful.
Overall a great tool, and can be enough as practice tool beside OG books practice questions.

I took the Manhattan Prep Live Online Course because I had read great reviews of the company and also saw that they offered a 25% student discount (I am currently a college student, so this was very appealing to me). Manhattan Prep doesn't hold any in-person classes near me, so I had to take the online course. I was a little nervous about it at first because I thought I would get distracted if I wasn't in a classroom. However, I think the online course was a great decision for me. The Manhattan Prep instructors are extremely helpful and willing to give you one-on-one attention. There were ~10 people in my class and 2 instructors. The class met for 3 hours every week. The instructors engaged everyone in the classroom by calling on students and making an effort to understand everyone’s thought process. The instructors solved practice problems with us, thoroughly explained common mistakes or misunderstandings, and walked through ways to approach problems that I found extremely useful on the test. I felt comfortable asking questions in class and reaching out to the instructors outside of class as well. Manhattan Prep also offers several practice exams with full, worked-out solutions and performance analytics capabilities. In addition to the 9-week online class, the plethora of resources available to me during through Manhattan Prep (GMAT Official Guide, Manhattan Prep books, practice exams, etc.) were invaluable to my success on the exam.

Jeff was a great help in regards to increasing my quant score on the GMAT. I had an ambitious goal of raising my score 30 points in one month. I had been using a self-paced study plan with another firm and was struggling to get my score higher. Just a few hours with Jeff taught me things that greatly helped my score. I was able to improve my quant score by 5 points (42 to a 47)! If I could have started my studying over, I would have just hired Jeff and used his program from the beginning. Jeff was incredibly responsive throughout the entire process. I also found the Target Test Prep course to be incredibly helpful.

I really enjoyed Magoosh. One of the things about the program itself that makes it so valuable is that each problem you do has a text explanation but also a video explanation. I did find their verbal section to be better than the quant section. You get access to a huge number of problems. If you are willing to take the time and go through each of their video lessons you will see yourself improving in areas you needed help with. As far as the dashboard I am no sure how accurate the score it shows there reflects considering my projected score for quant was way lower. I do believe using magoosh and their "study guide" gave me the increase in my score I was looking for.

I took the Verbal Online Prep, in Aug 2017 when I was restarting my preparation for the GMAT. The Verbal Course is phenomenal and truly helps a non-native English speaker understand the core rules of spoken and written English. The course is very well structured and divided into easy-to-do sections. I took up the Gmat preparation after 5 years in service and the course got me up to speed with the format of the GMAT, the structure of the questions and the quickest methods to solve SC/CR and RC questions. In the next couple of sections, I will explain what worked for me in the Verbal Online Prep

Verbal-Online

Background
I am an engineer with an Oil and Gas E&P Company in India and I have been working since 2012. As with any regular engineer in my country, I was pretty decent on my Quant and average on my Verbal. Since I manage operations in my company, my work is pretty dynamic and I spend anywhere close 9-10 hours a day working, sometimes even on weekends. I started my GMAT preparation back in Nov 2015 but achieved my desired results Jan 2018. Over the years I sampled almost all the test prep products in the Market and I can safely say that the E-GMAT course is the best strategy and test prep course on the market.

Before I started with the E-GMAT. I had tried Classroom Coaching, which I never felt was as helpful as the E-GMAT course. After realising that my classroom prep was insufficient, I started doing self-study. The highest score that I got on Verbal was a V34. However, I was always aiming > V40 score on the GMAT. By July 2017, I had given multiple GMAT attempts and was out of ideas as to how to increase my score. A friend introduced me to the E-GMAT Verbal Prep. Since the test prep module was online, I was skeptical whether I would be able to clarify my doubts on the E-GMAT platform because the online course follows a fixed structure. I thought I would miss the attempt to speak to someone and get my doubts clarified. However, my skepticism was unfounded. The E-GMAT answer forums are a Gold-mine of information and there were days when I just went thru the Forum to understand how people think about, how do they deconstruct the questions.

Course Structure
The Course Structure is very straightforward. You start off with the Strategy and the Master Comprehension Module. Both these modules are essential to kick-start your preparation. The Strategy Module will help you prepare a strategy to get to your desired score. The Master-Comprehension Module was an eye-opener. The Module introduces the meaning based approach and gives you a complete low-down on how to effectively apply the meaning based approach.
After going thru the basic modules, the real action starts on the individual section modules. The Section modules are fun and I gleaned a lot of information, ideas and methods to solve the Verbal Questions. Mind you, by this time I had already given the GMAT thrice and I thought I already knew quite a lot about verbal section on the GMAT. The E-GMAT Verbal Online Prep changed that notion. Daily I was learning about new things that I had not read and found during my self-preparation.

Course Concepts

The course breaks down tough concepts into easy to understand videos and slides. Before starting the course, I knew I had trouble with SC and RC. The SC course started with the meaning based-approach to solve the questions and the approach was carried on to CR and RC question solving as well. All the 3 sections are nicely done and they give you a feel of complete control of the Verbal Section. One of the best things about each of the sections is that each section starts from the basics and then keeps building up towards tougher questions. Further, the concepts that you learn in SC are useful for both CR and RC.

Scholaranium

Scholaranium is the best tool for analysis and rectification. The Verbal online Scholaranium is quite detailed and really gives you an idea about your weaknesses and helps you prepare by practising more questions of a certain type. The scholaranium has the option of letting you choose between Easy, Medium, Hard questions. The Easy, Medium and Hard Categories are true representations of the Questions on the GMAT. The hard questions of all the 3 sections are fantastic. For the attempt in which I scored 740 (Q49/V41), I figured thru scholaranium that even though I was doing the questions correctly, but I was taking a lot more time to do the questions. My timing was way above the "takt" time and this timing issue was causing me all sorts of problems on the real test. Once I figured out in which sections I had the worst timings, I started to work on the questions selectively and kept on improving my timings. Another benefit of the platform is that it provides detailed solutions with a great forum discussion topic and an ability to bookmark and review the questions.

Verbal Workshops
The Verbal workshops are tests conducted by the E-Gmat team. These tests give you a detailed feedback on your strengths and weaknesses. This is a must-try for anyone who is looking to improve his/her score. In my first attempt I got a score ~ 69 percent in the Verbal Workshop and in my Final attempt I got a score ~ 89 %. Once I checked the scores, I knew I was ready for the real test.

Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend the course to students. The course is flexible enough to adapt the different requirements and will truly help you understand the areas of improvement. The course is really great for new test-takers as well as seasoned test-takers.

I completed all the sections of the verbal Online Course, in the exact manner as recommended. I contacted one of e-gmat's executiive based out of delhi, and seeked his help to design my detailed study plan. The executive was very helpful and flexible. He helped me identify my weaknesses by evaluating the ESR of my first GMAT test, and then guided me how the verbal online course can help. I went through all the videos and discovered that there were so many new concepts that I had not understood before. The course is really a must for everyone preparing for GMAT.

I think egmat course specially for verbal section is the best specially for sentence correction. I was really poor in sentence correction i hardly able to make it correct because i don't know any grammar rules. So i heard from my friend about egmat and read its reviews and we 3 friends purchased the whole course of egmat but not live one. I read or saw every single videos of Sentence correction and solve their quiz. It took 2 months to saw every single video but after that my sentence correction get 90% accuracy and i was able to understand explanation on various sentence correction question but i will not recommend this course for mathematics as its of no use.

e-Gmat is a great platform to prepare for GMAT verbal. Specially, for preparation of sentence correction and RC, e-gmat is of great help.
It helps in strengthen the necessary concepts for sentences corrections. The course is designed in scientific manner. For non native students its the ultimate solution. Course explains all the necessary sentence correction concepts.
The RC videos were helpful as well. e-GMAT provides you a number of key strategies that you must keep in mind while reading through RCs.
The best part is that, they have a standard GMAT question bank that consists actual CAT standard questions. One can form timed tests from that. Question solutions are also explained properly.
