I'm an Indian with engineering background. I've been preparing for GMAT since last couple of months and have created my detailed error log. Being a non-native speaker, Verbal section has not been my cup of tea. Although I've improved my accuracy level to a significant level, my pace in this section was a road-block for a 730+ score. During my preparation I got to know about e-GMAT verbal course. I was looking for material which can help me with my pace. And it turns out I've found a gold mine.

I love the way e-GMAT Scholaranium has been designed. Customized practice tests are excellent both in terms of quality of the material and quantity. Question are optimized to make the candidate be extra-ready for the exam level questions. From the day I started practicing on e-GMAT Scholaranium, I developed a habit of taking a 10 CR, 10 SC, 4 RC test for sure! I witnesses a huge impact both in terms of accuracy and speed. I have been able to improve my overall accuracy from 40% to 87%. Answer explanations are also great which helped me in areas where I was making repeated mistakes.

SC and CR techniques have been explained with extreme clarity, making them super easy to grasp. Special thanks for "pre-thinking" technique in CR.

Again, Verbal Scholaranium is a great package for someone who wants to give finishing touch to his or her preparation. It is a great tool through which you can take 'Verbal Ability' tests to identify you weak areas and then selectively work on them using e-GMAT's 'custom quiz' option. Once you have mastered those areas you can again take an 'ability quiz' to gauge your progress. In total Scholaranium has a total of close to 750 questions from which you can take customized quizzes.

Thank you e-GMAT once again and I highly recommend e-GMAT to everyone who's struggling in verbal section.

All the best to you all!!

I have not had too many issues with quant but despite considering myself good at English, I struggled in the verbal section, which was clearly visible from my first GMAT mock test and subsequent practice tests. Everyone kept on mentioning that SC is the key to a good verbal score but I was unable to make sense of it after reading books. After reading reviews of e-gmat from gmat club members and signed up for the verbal online course. I found their approach very innovative but most importantly structured. I think that resonated with me the most. The idea of application files and concept files is also equally innovative and helps grasp the crux of the SC approach easily. With a whole host of practice sentences and their detailed analysis especially simulating a class enviroment, the mind automatically gets wired to approach SC questions. All this helped me in bringing down my timing from around 3 plus minutes to 1-1.5 mins. The other section that really helped was the CR section. The concept of prethinking seemed very obvious to me but the application was just as difficult. However, adopting the step-by-step e-gmat strategy I was able to get to a proper structured approach to CR questions. What I found excellent were the solutions to the OG questions, which I think gave me a confidence boost.

However, last but not the least, I am impressed with the scholaranium platform. I think it is a collection of really good GMAT questions and helps you guage your performance. Especially because it becomes really hard to find the right quality of questions outside the OG.

My verbal score on my mocks is now around 40 vs 33 earlier and I highly recommend e-gmat to others on the same gmat journey.

I expanded my E-gmat course till the real exam. E-gmat has some discounts for expantion. E-gmat asked me to provide an evidence of GMAT exam registration to be reimbursed. After sending them my registration data the E-gmat promised my to reimbursed in 7-10 days. But I haven't seen any money on my account! I have asked several times about the money, but received empty promises...NEVER buy any course from this fraud company. I don't understand how it is possible to have such a fraud company on gmatclub... I will never advise this terrible company to somebody...I hope that e-gmat lost all their clients.

Hello,

I am primarily working with the egmat course along with Official guide books.I am a non native speaker and verbal especially SC has always been very difficult for me to master.
This would be my third and FINAL attempt at GMAT and the reason for retaking is a very low verbal score.
I like the animated videos of egmat, I am just working with the SC course right now, and whatever I have seen so far, I really like the way the content is presented.
The pre- quiz to evaluate where I stand, followed by concepts and then a post assessment, really helps me structure my preparation.
While starting out the prep, I was very bad at SC but I am seeing that my accuracy has picked up. I hope to do even better now that I have a structured course , after completing the entire coursework.
I would recommend egmat to anyone looking to improve their GMAT score.

I would like to recommend everyone who is reading this to just blindly trust E-gmat and invest your time with them. They have very brilliantly designed the course and scholaranium which will identify your weak areas and your ability percentage in individual topics.
My friend recommended me to attend a free webinar from Rajat Sadana which was on the topic Algebra. First thing which explained was Score Plateau. His explanation to overcome score plateau was very useful and it really helps to improve scores. Then he started off with explaining different approaches to algebra questions. After the seminar, I really felt the difference. That was the moment when I wondered how an online course can also benefit anyone.
I regiseterd for E-gmat Quant Prep score.
The course has all the flash player videos on the specific topics which are the core topics. Initially, I used to think that Quants is a very wide and to excel in Quants I need to solve at least three different Quants books. Fortunately, I was proven wrong. E-gmat has specific topic relation tutorials and topic related application files which help to master the step by step approach to the question.
Next, the best thing is Scholaranium. It has more than 1000 question categorised into different levels.
Finally, my investment paid off and I am scoring up to 50 in quants.

I was under a pretty severe time crunch and needed to pick up my quant score. My score at the time (45) wasn’t bad, but I wanted to get to 50 and needed to move on from the GMAT to work on applications. I was growing frustrated with other resources, largely because I was answering problems out of a book rather than on a screen. Nothing I found seemed geared toward the kind of tailored help I needed. I began looking around for a tutor, which is how I got in touch with Jeff Miller from TTP.

Over the following weeks I went through the sections on the TTP site and did some private tutoring with Jeff. Both were invaluable to me. First of all, the chapter quizzes on the website, and the ability to make custom quizzes, enabled me to simulate the CAT experience and focus on areas in which I needed to improve. I could create custom quizzes comprised of only hard questions in the areas in which I needed to improve, and then review the solutions to those problems until I fully understood the concepts. Until signing up for this course, I simply hadn’t found anything with that level of depth. The ability to highlight sections in the course chapters and bookmark certain problems in the quizzes to review later was especially helpful.

The one-on-one tutoring with Jeff was incredible. He taught me plenty of tricks for complex problems in addition to general strategies which I was able to use on test day. Some of the wisdom he imparted was stuff I hadn’t heard anywhere, even after going through all the Manhattan Prep books and speaking with lots of other people studying for the test. Let me tell you, when a problem came up that I was able to answer in 10 seconds which would have taken 2 or 3 minutes otherwise, I was grateful I had invested in the tutoring. Jeff, in addition, has a response time which rarely exceeds 10 seconds. Not an exaggeration. He would literally text me at like 8PM on a Friday night to ask how my practice test went. Beyond improving my knowledge base and GMAT skillset, it was awesome just to be supported like that. Overall, I can’t recommend these guys enough. The tutoring and chapter quizzes were a huge reason I brought my score up as high as I did. Ended up with a 760, 50Q. Thanks guys!

Preparing for the GMAT and learning where to start for your prep can be overwhelming. I remember wasting so much time in procuring books and reading reviews of courses. Having to juggle between work and prep, I chose to enroll for the e-GMAT Verbal Online course since they already have great reviews on this site.

The best thing about this course are that the concepts are explained clearly. Being a Non-Native speaker, I was able to see remarkable improvement in my accuracy and speed. I was also able to attend these classes at my own pace and time and re-visit concepts that were hard to learn the first time around.

I would recommend this course for anybody who needs a guiding hand at prep and for people who are looking to study at their own pace.

I started my GMAT journey 4 months ago , and I was on the lookout for a comprehensive verbal course that could give me a good foundation on the basics.
After using the e-GMAT verbal live prep over the course of a few months, I can say with full confidence that this made a difference to my preparation. Like most other non-native speakers, I evaluate words and sentences based on how it sounds in my mind. This required me to unlearn certain basics, and that is not an easy task. It takes multiple visits to the concepts in order to have it etched in my mind and come naturally to me under a pressure situation like the GMAT.

The well-focused Sentence Correction does exactly that. It goes over the basics over and over until you get it correctly each time. The live classes are very helpful, and by breaking down each part of the sentence, the confidence to solve a SC problem skyrockets.

Overall, I used the e-gmat for SC(indispensible), for CR(good), Scholaranium(indispensible) In addition the OG solutions for SC and CR are very clear in their reasoning, and saved me a ton of time that I would have spent otherwise hunting for answers from so many other sources and comments online.

I found Magoosh material decent enough to kickstart my preparation with. The numerous videos and questions provide ample concepts and practice.
It allows resetting question bank which is a good option to retake tests. I found the Idioms handbook pretty useful. The flashcards is an interesting way to learn while relaxing your mind from the usual ways of learning.
But the difficulty level is on the lower side. So, I further used Manhattan books in addition to OG content to further my preparation.
I will recommend this course to those who want to start their preparation from the very basics.

Hello folks,

Few months back I started to prepare for GMAT. In my first GMAT prep mock I scored Q49 V28. I realized I will require a little effort in quant and a lot of efforts in verbal to achieve a decent score.

I started solving OG without going through any initial verbal guides or taking a proper verbal course. This was a big mistake because now I was taking questions as and when they appeared to me and was learning only through the mistakes. The problem with such an approach is that you do not get a proper foundation in verbal. I finished OG completely and took another GMATprep mock, in which I scored V33. I then solved Official Verbal guides too but still could not improve my score any further.

Then a friend suggested me E-GMAT's verbal services. I contacted them and as per my time crunch they suggested me to avail there Scholaranium package.

Verbal Scholaranium is a great package for someone who wants to give finishing touch to his or her preparation. It is a great tool through which you can take 'Verbal Ability' tests to identify you weak areas and then selectively work on them using e-GMAT's 'custom quiz' option. Once you have mastered those areas you can again take an 'ability quiz' to gauge your progress. In total Scholaranium has a total of close to 750 questions from which you can take a.) 10 verbal ability tests, which are a mixture of SC, CR and RC or b.) take customized quizzes to target selective topics/weak-points or c.) take selective CR/RC/SC ability tests

In short I would advise you the following:
1. If you have got at least 2 months for focusing on GMAT's verbal part then I would strongly suggest you to go for e-GMAT's Verbal Live Prep or Verbal Online course. Both these courses will offer you Scholaranium as part of their total course. These courses are properly structured to teach you all the concepts that are required in your preparation. I would suggest you to take their free lessons and webinars before signing up.

2. If you have got less than month for the GMAT then I would suggest you to take up Verbal Scholaranium only.

One last thing whatever course you may or may not take please go through ALL the official questions before final GMAT. Don't hesitate to buy EP1, EP2 etc to help you in your preparation.
