e-GMAT Verbal courseware is a step in the right direction. When I started my prep, I was confused with varied courses provided by Multiple vendors. With no specific measure, i decided to get a feel of the courses from few vendors, eGMAT being one of them. The Free trial, free sessions by Rajat alongwith with strategy plan helped me zeroed in on e-GMAT VO course. Before starting, I was doing Good on RC, average on CR & disaster on SC. With help of Verbal Online, I was not only able to retain my strong areas, but also got free of a nightmare 'SC'. The conceptual clarity, flow of understanding from SC to RC & structure courseware from eGMAT helped me improving by 7 points in Verbal section.

Though my own study plan floundered due to only effort in Verbal, thereby impacting my overall score; I would suggest anyone aiming a 700+ to put faith in eGMAT & their complete pedagogy to achieve their goals.

In spite of that, I'm going for the courseware again to boost my scores and would get back to this post as I come out with with flying colours (Fingers crossed :-) )

e-GMAT verbal online course is one of the best courses I have taken so far in my life and it was a really good learning experience. Being posted at a relatively remote location of India, it was really difficult to access live courses and that is what is forced me to choose an online course. What I I liked most about e-GMAT are as follows:

1. e-GMAT's well-structured interactive course gave me an experiential learning through a step-by-step methodology for solving the practice questions.
2. The course encouraged me to first develop my concepts and then focus on timing, thereby helping me to reduce errors.
3.e-GMAT's focus on addressing the meaning related issues helped me improve my sentence correction dramatically.
4. e-GMAT's pronounced emphasis on the difference between ability and accuracy helped me understand what is actually required to score higher in GMAT. I improved my overall score by 30 points.
5. Webinars are just awesome. The recordings of webinars are good enough to clarify the concepts they address.

The specific modules/features I liked very much:
Sentence Correction: Modifiers
Reading Comprehension: Paragraph summaries to developing Main point.
Critical Reasoning: The concept of Pre-thinking.
Overall: Scholarnium-an awesome collection of 700+ questions that helped in sharpening the edge.

Having completed the course, I now feel confident about writing good English, which would help me in writing better B-school application essays. e-GMAT also helped me in my final hours of preparation by extending my courses. Thank you e-GMAT for all the valuable support!!!!

My 2 cents: e-GMAT verbal course is the best!!!!

I've done quite a few GMAT courses (online & classroom), but didn't see any course even close to this one. Be it verbal or quant. Once you are done with the course, you would know many things that you didn't know earlier.

I took the whole course (verbal+quant). I was among the first ones to opt for the quant course when egmat first launched it. I would say verbal is a notch higher, especially for non-natives, if you compare it with the quant course. However, that doesn't make the quant course any less.

This is the course which will take you to a level above your's irrespective of where you stand.

- Good and detailed explanation to let me know how to avoid the same mistake
- Show recommended lesson at the bottom on answer: trust me, you will love this tool
- Wonderful customer service,: indeed i had 31 days away from my exam, but the CS officer was so kind to extend 1 day for free (from my purchase of 30-day package) so that i could review on my last day before exam.

*Bad
- They have multiple mobile apps like Flash card for Verbal, Maths... i hope they can integrate all into one app - one platform

The Verbal online course is really great. They teach you everything from the basics and help you focus on the fundamentals , which is a key factor in GMAT success. Their Prethinking method in CR helps you develop your critical thinking and greatly helps in improving accuracy and confidence. Their SC course i would say is world class and makes a ton of difference to your SC ability.Their focus on understanding the intended meaning of the sentence makes it really easy to crack the most difficult SC questions. The reading strategies in RC they teach you keep you engaged while reading and helps you read the passage more actively

When I took a mock test (GMAT Prep) in the beginning, I found I was good at quant and terrible at verbal. After doing my research, I came across e-GMAT. I opted Verbal Online course and found it to be extremely useful, particularly for my SC preparation. I like e-GMAT’s focus on logic (following same set of rules for all the questions) rather than mugging up various rules, thereby simplifying one’s Verbal preparation. My accuracy in SC section improved significantly after taking e-GMAT’s Verbal Online course. Additionally, this course is very structured. It has both pre- and post-assessment quizzes for every concept. If you are a person who can prepare on your own without any guidance and looking for resources to improve your verbal skills, then I would strongly recommend Verbal Online. Hope this helps!

What I personally feel is that e-GMAT Verbal Live Prep is the best course I found till date. I was struggling with my Verbal part. After going through the course I feel a bit more confident with my Verbal.

The course is very interactive and the strategies are best, what I personally feel, as it has helped me a lot. Especially in the SC and CR section the way to approach and solve the questions is good.

The Live session are good too, interactive and all the queries and doubts are clarified as if one is sitting in a proper classroom.

Overall I feel that this course is very helpful and worth a try if you are struggling with your Verbal.

The Manhattan GMAT prep set was the only resource I used to study for my GMAT. The discrete guides were a great way to really focus on your weaknesses. In general, you want to avoid spending too much time on things that are already strong on so I truthfully read about half the books in depth and skimmed the other half.

Additionally, the practice pad was instrumental in getting my score squarely above 700. I would attribute a good 20 points to proper pad management - setting it up ahead of time and using it to help manage time.

Additionally, the teaching content of the guides were great - the GMAT is a game and the MGMAT materials treats it as such - it gives you the strategies and trains you to know how to play the game. You don't need to genuinely understand or know the content intimately to ace the GMAT - you need to know how to play the game.
