E-GMAT Verbal Online - Best Online Verbal Course

Course e-GMAT 6M Focus

Location Online

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.

Excellent Verbal Course!

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 :)

Suitable online GMAT prep courses for busy non-natives!

Instructor Krishna Chaitanya

Location Online

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!

Verbal Learning at its best

SC, CR and RC were always dreadful for me, until i got to know about eGMAT. From the time i enrolled and started preparing for verbal through eGMAT online course, the confidence levels have catapulted multifold. The fundamental concepts have got cemented, and i feel i have got the right ammunition to face the GMAT verbal exam.

After following all the sections the same way as shown, the ability building process improved gradually. Reading long and twisted sentences are no longer nightmare to me. Understanding the sentence is the basic success for achieving a respected score in verbal. The amount of stress that Rajat and Payal put on the ability factor is the right way to measure the progress. By improving the ability, accuracy would come on its own.

Scholarainum is the best way to test the ability. There are varied number of S-M-H questions that gives us enough practice and understanding on the concepts from the explanation given after every question.

I am able to solve SC, CR and RC with 85%, 75%, 70% ability respectively. In one mock which i have given till now, i could easily score V39. As i too concentrated only on ability building factor, the confidence levels are not shaky, and at the same time the concepts are strong. The process of answering the questions is explained very well in the verbal course. This process can be followed blindly and a drastic change can be seen in the way a question has to be understood.

This debrief is just to tell you all that verbal learning is not so difficult as it was. Just by enrolling to eGMAT online course, and dedicated effort in getting the ability will surely boost the confidence level and hence the score.

All the best ... !!

e-gmat Quant

I took the e-gmat online prep for quant and it was very useful in getting me reacquainted with math concepts after a hiatus of not using them so much at work.

I did not watch the videos according to the prescribed course flow as I thought I already mastered the other concepts... but I was wrong! Watching the other E-gmat quant videos gave me a different perspective -- faster ways to solve tricky math problems. The techniques came in handy and helped me manage my time better when the test came.

Unfortunately, I did not spend as much time practicing the quant compared to the verbal. This had its consequences when I took the exam.

If i had to do it all over again, I would follow e-gmat's recommended course syllabus and spent more time mastering/training on the core concepts.

Would recommend e-gmat to students doing self-prep at home! Just make sure to manage your study time wisely to make the most of the course :)

Honest Review for Magoosh

REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by post count [?]

Improvement N/A

Course Magoosh Premium

Location Online

I used Magoosh Premium for achieving my GMAT score. I used it for building up my basic concept and as a main practice tool for both Quant and Verbal. Total I exercised not less than 587 practice questions.

Pros :
- All of the questions are explained by VIDEO. This is a HUGE plus point! I love to see the explanation from Brent and MikeMcGarry.
- MikeMcGarry explanation, especially on the Quant section really fascinating me. He explained the basic concept detailly and sometimes in not so common way. Big thanks to MikeMcGarry.
- Magoosh's customer service, undoubtedly, is the best, inseparable part of the course. Every single question was answered in a relatively short period and with crystal clear explanation. Big applause for this service!
- Magoosh whole environment : website and mobile apps are simple, efficient and easy to follow. For OCD person like me, this is a very good point.

Cons :
- To be honest, I relied heavily on this course, probably this was my mistake - especially when tackling SC questions. Overwhelmed with so many explanations in GMATClub Forum for SC (and sometimes contrast one another), I intensified my SC practice solely on Magoosh - and jumped on OG SC Questions 2 weeks before my first GMAT Test. I immediately felt that OG SC Questions two or three times harder! Magoosh SC's questions have their own pattern, sometimes too mechanical - I had to change totally my approach to SC. After this nightmare, I stopped working on Magoosh practice questions.

Recommended for :
- Anyone who loves to watch video explanation.
- Anyone who wants to brush up his basic skills - especially Quant.

Thank you Magoosh anyway!

Best Verbal Course online.

A year back ,i started thinking seriously about the GMAT.
The greatest struggle for me was verbal section as an non native speaker.
While i was doing self study ,I got correct answers more by intuition than by approach.

I lacked the right approach and focus on meaning on the SC questions.

I started looking for the test prep company and found the Egmat the best in the business.

After completing the online SC course my concepts expecially in SC significantly improved.

In addition scholarium has one of the bestquestions available for practise.

Would recommend this course as a must have to all those who are serious about getting a good GMAT score and to all those who are struggling with verbal section most.
You can make it possible with your dedication and with the help Egmat.

Gmat is something I am really scared now. I scored 500 GMAT in my last attempt and I got admitted into USF on condition if i again take GMAT and score minimum 550. I scored only 400 this time. the egmat material is very good but you need more time for a person like me. I think verbal I something very hard for me and I have seen on many occasions. Gmat is very hard for a person like me and i have tried so many times and i am very scared of GMAT.Egmat course won't make your work easy. It starts froms basics though but real time gmat exam is not something similar to egmat.

A year back ,i started thinking seriously about the GMAT. The greatest struggle for me was verbal section. While i was doing self study ,i got correct answers by intuition which made me even more dubious about my good score in GMAT. I started searching for good stuff and fortunately bumped into e-gmat review on gmat club.The gmat verbal online course provided me with a great base to start with. My concepts expecially in SC significantly improved. In addition Scholaranium helped in identifying weak areas and improve timing. Above all , the Scholaranium questions were pertinent to the actual GMAT test unlike those of many other online test preparation courses. The algorithms used in questions selection is great and just what the student required. This gave me the flexibility of choosing the right kind and number of questions as per requirement.

Would recommend this course as a must have to all those who are serious about getting a good GMAT score and to all those who are struggling with verbal section most.You can make it possible with your dedication and with the help of E-GMAT.
