I really liked the structured approach to SC,and CR and the way it has been explained in throughout the course.
I completed the course a month back and really loved it , tough I was not able to make the best use of it as i had to postpone my GMAT date due to personal reasons and my subscription expired before I could make the best use of the course and the scholaranium of e gmat.
But , nonetheless the course was good and I really liked the technique used to impart the knowledge, The pattern how the contents unfold ,and even the basic level of the topic is covered .
For a non native user it is really very helpful as it provides with knowledge ,which is not available in other courses.

I'm not a native speaker but since I had pretty high TOEFL scores (115 out of 120) and I was an English major, I didn't think GMAT verbal should be too hard. However, I got stuck with V31 from the official mock test till 3 months later when I took my first official test (still stuck at V31). During the 3 months of my preparation I went to a GMAT in person course (of 20 people) in my country and learned the tips to sentence correction--mostly focusing on grammar, comparison between the two similar options and other tips such as "don't choose the sentence with ',with' (with after a comma)".
While the tips helped me get to the 600s, I checked my ESR and realized that I could never get a 700 level SC question right. Another problem was that, since I was too busy using the tips, I didn't really think about the meaning of the sentence, so I would often get tricked by the false parallelism.
Payal in E-gmat helped me in the foundation concept of sentence correction to break down the long sentences and calm down to see what is the main information the sentence is trying to convey. The rest of the information are just "noise", to distract you from the main sentence. By breaking down the sentence, I learned to read much faster and understood the meaning of the sentence. It also helped me to locate the subject and verb much easily, which is important since subject verb agreement is such a big test focus. Finally, I concentrated much more on what the different modifiers are trying to modify, so I wouldn't be tricked by the different placements of modifiers.
Another big takeaway for me was the modifier courses, especially on VERB-ed and VERB-ing modifiers. It made me realize that I never really understood how VERB-ing modifiers could change the meaning of the sentence, or the relationship between the subject and verb would be illogical.
To sum up, E-gmat's sentence correction course helped me break down long sentences to really understand the meaning of the sentence. The course in turn also helped improve my reading comprehension skills, either for CR or RC. E-gmat helped me improve my verbal from 31 to 36 in 3 months, more than my original method using tips and grammatical rules did. Thank you e-gmat!
Not having used GMAT style English at work for a very long time (being a specialist doctor), the Verbal section was not an easy task. During the initial stages of my preparation, the SC and the CR were getting tricky (I had started doing the OG)
So based on reviews on the web (gmat club, beat the gmat), I enrolled for the e-gmat course, Verbal online.
Course structure: The structure of the course is very helpful, starting from the basics and progressing in difficulty.
Content: The content is very elaborate and extensive. In fact, the course covers almost everything the GMAT asks.
Questions: The questions are of all difficulty levels, but arranged in a very good format such that you get a mixture of all levels, as in the real exam.
Scholaranium: This concept is very helpful as I could work on my weaknesses and leverage on my strong areas. The explanations offered are good. Regarding the difficulty level, I found some questions to be of a higher difficulty level with very close choices, something I did not experience in the real exam.
Expert support: I did not post any queries to experts because whenever I found the explanation difficult, the discussion part cleared my doubts. Hence, I would give a high rating to this section.
Overall, the e-gmat verbal course is a must for all non- natives to score above 700 in the real exam. Highly recommend the product to all aspirants.
As I mentioned, MGMAT Prep is a good investment but I do think to really ace both Verbal and Quant you need a bit more specifically on the quant side. The verbal of MGMAT is brilliant - it seriously helped me clarify my understanding and devise an attack strategy for my verbal. For Quant, the books are good to clarify concepts and lay down fundaments but I felt overall the quant tests from MGMAT are a bit more tedious than the actual GMAT which has slightly more witty questions which can make the real GMAT challenging. Along with this I would suggest to use the gmatclub Quant practise tests which are extremely representative. I suggest to focus on verbal for MGMAT and gmatclub tests for Quant.
I was struggling with the Verbal part of the Gmat right from when I have started preparing for the Gmat. Being a non-native speaker, I was always weak with the verbal part. I struggled most with the Sentence Correction section while preparing. The most recommended material for the Sentence Correction module was Manhattan Sentence correction book. However after starting with it, I was still kind of feeling left out. I was not able to grasp the basics and therefore section like modifiers and parallelism were not making sense. After going through many reviews in Gmat club, I decided to buy the e-gmat Sentence correction module. I started with their first chapter and went step by step. After completing the whole module, my accuracy in Sentence correction shot up. Concepts were more clear and I was able to solve questions more importantly with strategy and not conscience.
it is a very good course for a non natives. each video has been carefully made so as to ensure all topics/subtopics and techniques are covered.
dashboard-makes it very convenient to access videos topic wise
SC-meaning based approach is impressive, it improved my accuracy.
CR-good quality videos that give approaches that can be applied. pre-thinking approach really works.
RC-they press upon summarizing and looking at the big picture in an essay-that really helps. However some of the video lessons in this section that talk about summarizing passages word for word, won't work on the actual test, because there isn't enough time.
I went from a V30 TO V34, I could've certainly improved more, had I practiced more.
I would like to pen down my experience with egmat throughout my gmat preparation journey.
I believe this course is boon for every aspiring candidate who wants to crack Gmat. I studied this course . However I have just studied the concept . I had no time to practice scholaranium. In this much content also , because of egmat I managed to get 630. For some of you it might not be dream score. But for me , with the help of the egmat content I have studied and my very hectic job, I consider it as an achievement for myself. I give whole credit to this course. I have not covered all the sources available inside the course like I had no time to use their workshops and scholaranium.If I would have covered all the resources available inside the course, I might have scored higher. Nevertheless , I am still happy with whatever I have achieved. Being a working mother and having a taxing job, I still consider my course nice.The best thing about egmat in my case was that I need not to attend any classroom programme.I can study anytime , anywhere. This thing helped me a lot.I am really thankful to the entire team of egmat for all the support they have given me through the entire GMAT journey. Last but not the least, Hats off to there excellent customer service. They have even replied to my emails on the weekends and helped me often by going out of their way. A big Thank you to all. I will recommend this course to anyone who aspire to crack GMAT.
Thanks

I would reccomend Magoosh if you want to get 700 points or below. It´s the best for the price, there are a lot of exercises and the verbal strategies are ok. If you want to get a good basis magoosh is ok, but if you want to get a 800 score, then you will have to look for harder quant exercises after you finish with magoosh.
It is very easy to use and gives some useful insights, after a while you get used to the little harder exercises that magoosh gives, but remember: The practice tests are not 100% reliable, there is always a standar deviation with the real score.
to conclude: great price for a good service, by far the most economical but with a very decent teaching. If you want to get 800 points this will not get you there, its ok for 700 points or around there.
Recomendation:
1. See all the verbal classes videos, the strategies they teach are essential for you to have the fundamentals.
2. take your time, there is a lot of exercises and plenty of useful video classes.

E-GMAT's verbal online course is an effective material for learning the fundamentals of GMAT's verbal section and skills needed to shine on the exam day! I'm glad to say that in the first attempt itself, I was able to get a decent score because of e-gmat's verbal material.
The whole material is very interactive and helps clear the common doubts faced by test takers. Sentence Correction became very easy after I followed the three step process recommended by e-gmat. My verbal skills improved dramatically. The most important quality of e-gmat's material is perhaps its simplicity, which helps students to effectively grasp the basic concepts and advance with time.
Critical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension are equally good. By following the different techniques suggested by e-gmat, one would be able break down complex questions and get the answer.
I conclude e-gmat's verbal online is not only an effective guide to gain insight of GMAT verbal but also a material which makes learning easier, as you'll never find it boring.
