I used to suffer severely from SC phobia. However, i knew that an improvement on SC could make or break my verbal score. I just couldnt find any concise and precise material anywhere that were matching my requirements.
Finally, a friend suggested the e gmat verbal course. First i tried out the trial lessons which looked promising. I ended up purchasing the entire verbal online course since i wasn't fairing too well on RC and CR either. In retrospect, this was one of the best decisions i took for my gmat prep.
The SC course is well crafted, with logical explanations, plenty of examples to understand each topic thoroughly, and has a quiz at the end of each concept, that helps you assess your progress. Thanks to this course, my accuracy has gone from 40% to almost 100% in SC. This course is highly recommended for anyone struggling with gmat verbal in general!

I am still in the process of preparing for GMAT. I can say that eGMAT's Verbal course is definitely one of the best course especially if your verbal has conceptual gaps. All the required concepts are explained in a simple way.The SC videos gives you the best understanding with the 3 step process and detailed meaning analysis. My CR portion was already strong so i did not care much for it but i did the Scholaranium thoroughly. The RC videos were really helpful as well. e-GMAT provides you a number of key strategies that you must keep in mind while reading through RCs.
Thank you e-GMAT.
I will highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve Verbal performance.

I purchased the Magoosh Premium product after a short experience with it through a GMATClub trial.

What first attracted me to Magoosh was the guide - a clear 3 month plan that I could follow right up till the day I wrote. It was a plan that required a lot of work but one that was also flexible which was great for me a my job has irregular and often long hours.

The video lessons are really helpful and explain every aspects of a section in detail. At times it goes too much into the basics so its advisable to use your discretion about which videos you watch.

The best part of Magoosh is the question bank. Its got a good variety of questions of all levels on both the quant and verbal side. (although I would say the very hard questions were much harder than anything I experienced in the test). I appreciated the detailed answer analysis as well for each question, which went beyond a simple text explanation and actually had a video for every question and made it easier to understand the really difficult questions.

I used Magoosh in conjunction with another product but after a few weeks, I focused on Magoosh and am really happy that I did so.

Having attempted the GMAT twice, at a significant gap of 2 years, I was not too sure if I am willing to attempt it again. My first attempt dates back to June 2011 (Scored 660) and the second attempt to September 2013 (Scored 640), you would begin to think that I was writing the exam in utter disinterest and without any preparations. Now, let me not bring up the dead from the buried, instead highlight to you what really changed my mind and made me to work towards this goal again. The reasons of my utterly dismal performance so far will be highlighted steadily in the review below.

eGMAT, similar to a lot of you, was introduced to me by a friend. Not that I did not know about this course, I was just really reluctant to sign up. I was just not sure if it is just another course which I would be throwing my money at. This is because in my previous attempts I kept myself to Manhattan prep, Kaplan and the OG. While OG painted a different picture for me, the other two preparation materials were just categorically different. I was confused, till the last day of preparation about what to follow. And, went into the exam to come out slapped and beaten by the GMAT. This was the time when I understood the nature and importance of the official material of GMAT. eGMAT was truly the game changer that I was sincerely looking for. A go-to material, a one stop shop for all your requirements.

My 2 cents on the course - eGMAT is designed to extremely interactive. The Quant Online is not a course meant to be just get done with. It is designed in a way to make sure that you remember the concepts for times to come. I have been able to complete the course and during my practice sessions, keeping a score stable in the range of 49-51. It is absolutely essential to keep timing of your practice sessions as well, because on the D-Day, such will be the conditions.

Invest your time into building these concepts with reference to right kind of practice material from the OG and Quant Review (stick to the official material). For more challenging material you can always refer to the question banks at GMATClub. You can always reach out to me in case of any advise and clarifications. More than happy to help.

Wish you good luck for the journey.

The pros of this service were the Interact courses which were very engaging and the practice GMAT exams that were very accurate in predicting my actual GMAT score. The major con was the course instruction itself would often times lose momentum due to getting bogged down on a particular student's question or lack of participation and we would not always finish the topics. I also felt that once the course ended, I was left to my own devices. I decided to use another course instruction after Manhattan prep and found that I had more success with the alternate service. Looking back, this service was very expensive and I saw better results with a less expensive service. I just didn't see the return that I was hoping for.

This service was a game changer for me. I increased my score by 70 points from my first GMAT. I found the lessons were more specific and I was able to focus more time on those areas that I felt I needed extra practice. This allowed to target the areas that I need to improve on. After doing their list of problems, I felt their score estimator was quite accurate. The only downside I found was the rather monotonous voice that reads each of the lessons. It was very scripted and I would have to take breaks just to maintain my focus.

I am still in the process of preparing for GMAT. I can say this with a lot of confidence that eGMAT's Verbal course is definitely one of the most exhaustive course available currently. All the required concepts are explained in a simple way. The best thing about the course is that the teaching method is very scientific. Watching videos are fun. Step-by-step process mentioned in the course will definitely help not only in building strong concepts but also in getting a higher score in Verbal.

There is absolutely no comparison to Scholaranium. It makes assessing your weakness crystal clear. I will highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve Verbal performance.
Will definitely share my performance once I am done with my GMAT.

Being an Indian GMAT aspirant , Verbal was my night mare. To overcome this problem I signed up for e-GMAT verbal online course and this helped me score 39 in verbal which I was very happy with. The SC section was particularly helpful as I need the most help in SC area. Th videos were really good in terms of covering the basics and the structured approach was helpful in developing a sense of understanding of the topics. I will definitely recommend this all the people who think they are week in Verbal, The CR section could have been better and I was able to find better resources elsewhere for CR. I would request the e-GMAT team to work on their CR content specially interms of the example problems they are using in their material.

I had started with V20 and I was extremely weak in verbal. I am a person who hasnt read a single novel in my life. I had tried several online courses and I had spent a huge amount in my test prep. Once I got introduced to egmat via a free webinar, I started looking at verbal from a different angle.

SC which was a burden, now seemed so interesting and easy.
The CR approach too was helpful as well. The prethinking method saved lots of time. I also gained the confidence to tackle the much dreaded boldfaced questions.

For tackling the RC, I found the egmat approach to be very useful. I liked the Master Comprehension course which helped me to read the passages quickly. I was able to improve my speed and accuracy and now I am capable of solving a long passage in 7 minutes and a short one in 4-5 minutes only. This was a huge improvement for me.

Thank you e-GMAT once again for this huge improvement in my test score. Overall, I have managed to improve my verbal score a V20 to V39.

All the best to you all !! Do not give up!!

Last year, I ended up with a disappointing score of 660 (V-32), much to my astonishment. Around mid of this year, I had planned to retake the exam and signed up with E-GMAT for their Verbal Online course, since I clearly needed some help with verbal and E-GMAT held a pretty good reputation, especially for their verbal course.

I am yet to retake my exam next month, but here are my thoughts on the experience I've had with the course so far
SC - Highly highly recommend, especially for the non native speakers. The course covers every possible concept tested in GMAT for SC. The main concepts of SC are broken down into easy understandable videos which comes with a pre and post assessment. These videos have extensively helped me gain command over SC questions, so much so, that my accuracy improved to a 90%

CR- My CR has been good to begin with. Again, well made videos and concepts are clearly laid out

RC and Master Comprehension- RC has been a blocker for me since the very beginning and their videos are clearly helping me out to gain more confidence over RC questions, with their strategies to approach different sorts of RC questions. Master comprehension is a nice and quick course that serves as a good pre-course before starting RC.

Overall, highly recommend for those looking to improve verbal scores. I have had help from several book and material courses before but nothing was nearly close to E-GMAT's course, because of the way how their course is designed, especially for their SC course.
