I started my journey one year ago. My background in engineering allowed me to set an excellent pace to achieve a high score in the quant part, in which I finished with Q51. Nevertheless, I had a lot of difficulties with the verbal section, and my score for the first time was well below my quant score. I managed to achieve a V27 for the first time I took the gmat. After reading many of the reviews in gmat club, it seemed to me that e-gmat was an excellent course for non-native speakers and I decided to proceed with the subscription of Verbal Live Prep. In the first few weeks, I started by the SC part. The detailed explanations and videos about each of the main issues in SC/RC/CR made my score to improve quickly. Another great tool is the Scholaranium. It was determinant to spot my weaknesses very quickly and provided me a detailed study plan to address each of the points I need to correct. Scholaranium has this fantastic tool to measure ability (time management) and accuracy ( correctness) of your performance. It allowed gauging the level of performance that I needed to improve my score. As a result, my score increased by 7 points, and I ended up with 710 (Q51, V34), a competitive score. I think e-gmat is the best course for non-native speakers. I recommended it to other friends as well, and their feedbacks were terrific too. Indeed, your score will bust with E-gmat.
E-GMAT is the best course I have encountered. Verbal online course is better than the traditional in class delivery.
The sentence correction is best explained in this course. I was very week in the SC when I initially attempted GMAT. With the help of course I improved from 25 points to 35 points for now.
The strategy thought in master sentence structure course breaking down the complicated sentence into clause is very helpful to answer the verbal questions.
Pre thinking in critical reasoning is also very helpful. This eliminates so much confusion that might occur if we directly dwelve into the answer choice.
Reading comprehension is also well understood with the help of breaking down the sentence into clause and reading it by keeping subject and verb in mind. This helps to easily understand the point in complicated passages.
I was very fortunate to find Target Test Prep for help on the Quant part of the exam. The design and structure of the course is excellent - the curriculum is succinct and teaches you what you need to know and how you need to know it. The inclusion of examples to solidify your understanding of concepts is also very very helpful. The site is also very customizable so you can easily focus on areas of weakness - I found the ability to create customized quizzes to test only certain concepts helped during final preparation to shore up my understanding. Would recommend this to anybody preparing for the GMAT.
Could not ask anything better than e-GMAT for Verbal. The video lessons are detailed, thorough with expert explanations and practice problems.
The good thing I like about this course is that, it provides basics to advanced concepts, provides sample problems and provides details on which Q number to solve from OG.
Being an Indian male with IT background, I have the pressure to crack GMAT, with the 3 step concept in SC, pre thinking in CR and RC modules e-GMAT has been no brainer choie for non native english speaker like me.
I would recommend anyone to go with this course for a good GMAT score.
When I started my GMAT prep this year, I scored an abysmal 570 on the diagnostic review. After spending 2-3 months going through the chapters on TTP and a few tutoring sessions with Scott, I felt relatively ready for the exam.
I scored a 600 and was devastated to say the least. I needed to send my applications with a higher score, so I decided to try once more and jumped right back into TTP. I realized I understand the basic concepts but I did not spend enough time hammering the tough questions that really improve your score.
This time I stuck to the study plan Scott and Jeff outlined. I completed EVERY single medium and hard tests and did not quit until I hit the targets they recommended.
Four weeks of intense study later I sat for the exam again and scored a 680!! My biggest advice is to 1) Use TTP to improve your Quant score and 2) Don't review the material half-heartedly thinking it will click come exam time. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!!
Before I took the e-GMAT's verbal course I heard about how good it is but wasn't sure to put in more money for the prep material as I had already purchased Magoosh's prep course. After my first attempt I scored a mere 600/800 and was really disappointed. That's when I decided to purchase e-GMAT's verbal online course. It's truly the best verbal course out there. It justifies all the reviews placed here on the website that it's the best. I score 33 on verbal after my preparation from a 25, an 8 points improvement. I can't thank you e-gmat enough for helping me out. Their sentence correction techniques are really the best. It doesn't require you to learn, it requires you to understand the basics and a sentence correction question then looks like as if you're solving a basic math question. Yes, it makes it that easy. Their CR and RC courses are equally good. Although I had problems with understanding the arguments sometimes even after the course completion but my accuracy rate was improved a lot! I strongly recommend their verbal course.
E-GMAT Verbal Online is the best online course especially for people who cannot attend live classes & sessions. The course material is excellent & leave no stone unturned in GMAT Verbal Preparation. The entire course is so well planned and strategic. The 3-step process in SC is an eye-opener. After understanding the meaning of the sentence & applying the steps in the right way I was able to reduce my "takt time" or turnaround time for every SC question and , I could get most of the even hardest questions right. its a very comprehensive course covering all the concepts to the depth. CR course with emphasis on logical structure, pre-thinking, ABC test, negation test, variance test is very strategic & helped me to counter assumptions & most difficult CR passages with ease & save a lot of time too. Finally, I could get a hang on RC as well with the systematic reading strategies in the RC course. RC was the most difficult section for me & now I can boldly face it with active reading. I had also enrolled for two other major GMAT Prep courses as well & attended some free sessions from other courses too & from my experience E-GMAT Verbal courses are the best I can suggest for anybody looking for a breakthrough in GMAT Verbal.
Thanks to E-gmat that I have been able to improve my score from V32-V40. E-gmat gave me a sense of realisation and made sure that I knew the answer of WHY to evry concept. The presentations make sure that you capture and visualise and the SC Course helps gain insights. For a non-native speaker I shall surely recommend EGmat for not just SC but also RC and CR. E-Gmat is very interactive and the answers to queries posted are swift. Scholarnium also enables you to judge and improve accordingly.
3 step CR process and Pre-thinking did make me sharpen my CR and RC skills.
E-gmat verbal was excellent! The course helped me break down complex sentence structures, critical thinking questions, and RC passages I took for granted. Mastering the basic building blocks helped me navigate tricky GMAT verbal questions.
SC
Using English in a daily/ professional setting is not enough. The GMAT tests grammar to the tiniest detail and e-gmat helps you recognise these tricky traps. My SC improvement was among the question types that raised my score.
CR
E-gmat helped me identify question patterns among CR questions, making this section a lot more manageable.
RC
E-gmat was helpful for the basics you can't ignore when evaluating the key messages /inferences in the passage.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this course. I took the online course and it was well worth it! Kudos!! I wish I took this course earlier and had more time to practice with it :)

Hello,
I am an Indonesian -born, management consultant based in Southeast Asia. I have been benefit by e-GMAT courses, especially on verbal section. English is definitely not my mother tongue nor my primary academic language. I self-taught myself English and now work using English as primary command.
I work busy hours, sometimes on weekends. While my quant is fine (with a bit of brush up on conceptual required), that was not the case with my verbal section. I struggled to receive the fact that in my mock, I was only able to score V25 (~41 percentile).
A little over a year ago, a fellow consultant at the firm introduced me to e-GMAT and told me that this course is specialized for non-native. It took me few other months to eventually subscribe to e-GMAT verbal live package.
e-GMAT courses have helped me to improve my Verbal from V25 to V42 in less than 3 months. I obviously had to clear my weekends to commit myself in the process. All I do was to meticulously follow each section of the plan. I know that my weakest area are RC and followed by idioms in SC. So I focused on those areas.
For me the most important highlights is(and I could not stress it more): "Understand the Meaning". I will invest my first few secs in a given verbal question , just to understand the meaning and not rushing into the answer choices., e-GMAT taught me to do this.
If there's ever any other fellow non-natives, management consultant out there (or anybody), with questions regarding this post - feel free to drop me a messsage
Hi RaspberryX,
Congrats on the score. I am a bit dubious in regards to your Q/V split and your overall scaled score. A Q48/V42 is 710? My first attempt at the official test was Q47/V39 and I scaled at 700. You should be at least a 730 or even 740...just wondering. Thanks!
