I stumbled upon the e-GMAT course in Sep'15. Being a non-native myself, I was intrigued by how a GMAT course could be designed to cater to the non-native speaker . I then proceeded to watch a webinar conducted by Rajat which was simple in tone yet insightful. There I knew I'd found what I’d been looking for .
I immediately enrolled in their flagship Verbal Live Prep course, needless to say, I was enamored with the course architecture and fascinated with the ease with which I could navigate the course platform. Each section is broken up by concept into sub-modules, each containing a mixture of quizzes and video lessons; all this in addition to the live webinars conducted by the e-GMAT faculty. The course content is lucid, exhaustive and is designed to enhance the conceptual understanding required to tackle GMAT questions. The faculty at e-GMAT is experienced and incredibly adept at explaining concepts and necessary to have a solid foundation- a firm grasp of the building blocks sets the tone for your progress over the duration of the course, and most notably your ability to solve the tougher (read ‘700-level’) problems on the GMAT.
Prior to starting the course I’d thought that CR was a beast that couldn’t be tamed, but as I watched along through the CR video lessons and attended live sessions conducted by Krishna Chaitanya I realized how easy to understand CR really was. e-GMAT deserves extra plaudits for coming up with the ‘Pre-thinking’ strategy for solving CR problems. It helped me answer CR questions, which I once absolutely dreaded, with new-found confidence and, dare I say it, like the section altogether.
I’d like to conclude my de-brief by saying a word about the fantastic quizzing platform that is e-GMAT’s ‘Scholaranium’. It’s a tool that I absolutely lived by during my preparation for the GMAT. It’s essentially a compendium of quizzes and statistical data indicating your areas of strength and weakness. It’s a treasure trove that’d better enable you to work on you weaknesses than would otherwise be possible and strategize your preparation for reaching your dream score. I’d totally recommend e-GMAT to someone who’s planning to take the GMAT.

I have taken Magoosh premium, the course including all videos, practice questions & tests is very good . The question are graded into difficulty level, it gives you feel of real gmat test. Video explanations are great. Magoosh support is really awesome and they reply to our queries promptly.all the apps like idiom flashcards and other resources are really helpful. Magoosh should introduce a discussion forum on their website for students to discuss the questions. Overall the quality of both verbal and math questions is really good, the video lessons are sufficient, tests are real gmat like. I feel that magoosh is a game changer in gmat preparation.
It was my 2nd attempt writing the GMAT test and I ended up scoring a 700 (Q49 V35). My previous score was 640 (Q49 V28). e-GMAT helped me make the big leap from V28 to V35 and I am grateful for that.
My experience with e-GMAT has been amazing. I enjoyed every second I spent learning with e-GMAT.
While preparing for the exam I realized that there are two crucial factors you need to keep in mind if you want to get a 700+ score on the GMAT:
1) It is imperative to get your basics and core concepts right. The videos and lessons at e-GMAT really helped me with this. They were comprehensive and very beneficial.
2) It is necessary to know the topics you are good at and the topics you need to improve in. e-GMAT Scholaranium helped me do that. It helped me identify my weak spots and ultimately improve them. This made the actual difference.
Being an engineering graduate i was comfortable with the QA part of the GMAT.I found VA very challenging.It's not that i had poor English but it's just the way the GMAT tests it.At first look you think that the English part is easy, but actually it'snot the case,especially for non native speakers.But the beauty of e-gmat's VERBAL ONLINE course is that its starts from basics,step by step it helps you to build the concept in a structured way.It presents the concepts(with examples) in a very simple form which makes it easy for a student to learn and assimilate.The evaluation through SCHOLARANIUM is outstanding:questions being neatly categorised based on the types.Also the explanations are comprehensive and clear.It does not only give you the solution but also give you the right approach for attempting a problem.
Final verdict :if you want a significant improvement in your verbal score but have limited time,this is the course to go for.
Score: From V30 to V40
This is one of the good courses e-gmat offers specially for those who faces issues with the basics in Quants. Basics are really important as it helps in identifying the problem and what it surrounds (specially in word problems section and other advanced topics like probability and permutations and combinations etc) and this course will start from the very start, it doesn't take the student for granted that you must know anything before joining this. The course structure is very organised which helps in building the concept gradually. After every topic, there is a test which tests your concepts and its really a confidence booster to see yourself solving the answers correctly provided you follow the strategy taught. This is a good course and definitely worth trying for those who face issues with quants. all the best!

I'm an English native - but my foundation isn't fantastic, so my weakness is that I always to tend lean towards sentences that makes sense in my mind rather than following the proper English grammar process. So it is not a shocker when I didn't score well but it was more of frustration as I didn't know the process and there are so many things to learn!
If you experience any of the above, I would recommend verbal e-gmat. They made me understand every single process with easy to process content and videos. It was a breeze to go through the content and now I am more confident with my verbal section.
e-GMAT has helped me to improve my understanding of verbal section. They provide really through videos which breaks down the process step by step which not many programs provide, giving you a complete understanding of the topic.
The program is intense so you have invest time to do the work and also practice, practice, practice. I would recommend to invest an hour or 2 daily. Same goes to quant work and pace yourselves time to prepare for the exam.
I would strongly recommend people (native or non-native speakers) to use this program. It is really worth the investment and you will learn to enjoy doing verbal questions, especially when you start to see the patterns.

I was disappointed after my first attempt in GMAT. After researching a lot of options - i finally trusted e-GMAT with my preparation needs. My decision was based on a number of positive reviews of the course and the free demo sessions offered by e-GMAT. I had no clue how to approach SC, I was poor in RC and i was just average in CR. e-GMAT course taught me a systematic way to focus on the meaning aspect of things and also the pre-thinking part. These 2 little tricks went a long way and were very helpful in the process. Scholarium was of great help to assess the performance. Krishna and all the other faculties were superb and the live sessions were very helpful. Last but not the least - i still feel i could have crossed the 40 mark with a little more focus (that is the type of confidence e-GMAT gives you!). The live class curriculum also 'forced' me to be on schedule ;). I'll also write a more detailed review on my preparation effort(watch out for that ;)) but i just want to let all of you know that crossing the 700 barrier would have been difficult without the e-GMAT curriculum, Thank you e-GMAT!!
I took the egmat verbal online course after reading a lot of positive reviews about it in various forums and now I'm happy that I took that decision.
Egmat course is very well designed. The concepts are explained through easy to understand video tutorials and well written notes.
I created my own personalized notes out of the content and kept revising them time to time.
One of the best features of this course - the biggest value in the product if you ask me, is the timed practice questions and their analysis in verbal scholaranium. With verbal scholaranium a person gets enough timed practice, analysis and feedback to easily get a 40+ score in verbal.
For a non-native speaker looking to upgrade his/her skill in verbal, I would say definitely go for this course. The investment is the best value for money.
