I had score 540 on my GMAT by self study but I wasn't sure if I will be able to improve further b self study. So I took up eGMAT Verbal course and I got 20 point jump in Verbal in my score in a matter of 28 days. I wish I had taken the course earlier. If I had, I would have scored more than 700 easily.
I would recommend this Verbal course to each and everyone who is a non-native speaker and also who is struggling to score well on the GMAT. e-GMAT Verbal online course helped me a lot as I could take it on my own pace.

After being stuck at the same score using Magoosh, I decided to give e-gmat verbal a try.

The materials were very organized and the questions were challenging, yet, similar to Magoosh, it offers a good foundation to your verbal studies, but it doesn't offer any exam oriented materials.

After going through 80% of the questions and the course, I did not improve much on my verbal, I was a bit disappointed by it. I believe that e-gmat is just not a good platform for me.

Some of the videos looked a bit archaic and the website is not designed to induce high performance.

Course Magoosh Premium

Location Online

After finishing my undergraduate degree in business, I started preparing for the GMAT. My friends have used Magoosh for other exams, such as GRE and TOEFL, and they all have received positive results from the materials. Therefore, I decided to give it a try.

Though I was fresh out from university, I still went through the entire verbal and quant course and did 90% of the practice questions, along with OGs and Manhattan Prep books. However, the questions appeared on the exam were at least 10 times more difficult than the ones from Magoosh.

Magoosh is an amazing platform if you are out of school for a couple of years and have forgotten everything about maths, yet it is not an exam oriented platform. Magoosh could be used to refresh your memories, but it should never be used by itself.

Hi, thanks for your feedback on it. I have heard that Manhattan was very good for high scores, though you used both Manhattan and Magoosh, how would you describe the resource difference ?

I took my first GMAT prep 4 years ago when I scored V24. I knew that I have to take a structured course to improve on my Verbal. While I seriously started preping for GMAT about 6-7months ago with M'tan prep books, I felt that I was still confused on some of the concepts. Thats when I signed up for e-gmat. e-gmat gives you an organised platform to study all verbal sections. Also, the tests on scholaranium are great source of practice. It helped me to reach a score of V32 - my first GMAT attempt score.
Although I had to sign-up for private tutor who helped me to further improve my verbal score( to V39), egmat laid the necessary foundation, especially in SC and CR sections.
One advise that I have for e-gmat is to include more material and practice questions on idioms. Idioms is one category that I feel is tested quite frequently on GMAT and where native speakers have clear advantage. Practicing idioms can help non-natives to address this weakness - my two cents!

As a working professional, verbal online is an excellent medium via which you can brush up your concepts on the go. Online course allows you to play/pause as per your convenience. The concepts are quite easy to comprehend and the course is specially designed for non-natives. Also, e-gmat team has prepared a comprehensive plan to tackle each section. SC and CR are extremely well designed with adequate no. of examples. Post every concept, there is a practice test which allows you to gauge your success level. While practicing mocks, I have seen significant improvement in both quality and time.

Course Magoosh Premium

Location Online

Magoosh verbal study course is really great including all videos. The questions are carefully selected which gives you feel of real gmat test. Video explanations are great. and explanation is good especially numbers . Practise tests can be improved by analysing data and giving tips where most improvement is needed. Also topic wise performance analysis should be done as in manhattan prep course. Team pays attention to students and replies promptly.also they were generous enought to extend my membership.idiom flashcards znd resources are really helpful. Ithink magoosh should also introduce awa questions which can be checked. Also no of ir questions available for practice should be increased.

e-GMAT's Verbal Online course was best suited for me as it not only reinforced the fundamentals but also taught me a structured, almost mathematical approach to solving verbal questions. The content is quite thorough and is delivered by excellent faculty through a very user friendly interface. The application files and the practice files at the end of each topic are especially very helpful in clarifying the concepts learned. The strategies advocated for each section (SC, CR & RC) have definitely helped me enhance my approach to solving verbal questions under testing conditions and have also helped me improve my accuracy (especially in SC). I would highly recommend this course to anyone who wishes to ace the verbal section of the GMAT.

Excellent approach towards solving verbal problems

After getting an experience of 3+ years in a manufacturing sector right out of IIT Madras, I was hoping to get into some B schools to help me shape my career. The most logical step for me was GMAT. However, the first time, I tried it, I got a score of 650. This de-motivated me and I was not so sure, as to where I was going wrong. Several thoughts came to my mind, and I finally decided to join a course to analyse my mistakes.

After analyzing many courses, I signed up for E-Gmat, verbal live prep. The first few classes filled me up with excitement. I could clearly see that my approach towards solving problems earlier was severely flawed.

In just about a month's time, I was solving SC questions like a professional, I realized that this part of GMAT, which usually took me the longest, was something that was now actually saving time. CR and SC also improved drastically. More than anything, the fear of GMAT was completely gone. I enjoyed studying and felt more confident. I got a score of 710 (V37, Q49) in my second time and an admission in many good B schools such as ISB, Olin, Kelley and Ivey Richards. Had I focused more on quant I would have got a little more, but e-gmat was a savior and helped me get an extremely unexpected verbal score.

Course Work:
The live sessions are exhilarating, and the interactions with the instructor are life like. The energy felt during the course carries through out the week and helps in preparing better. Approach towards SC is path breaking. This dreaded part of GMAT is solved so easily through E-GMAT that at the end of the day, one feels that there is no reason to fear from it at all.

CR and RC also strengthened like never before. I felt very amazing, when I understood the basic reasons behind the questions in OG, when I listened to their explanations. It molded my thoughts and helped me in forming a fresh approach towards a problem.

There are also many questions in the e-gmat, which are designed specifically to enhance one's strengths in the areas, where we feel weak. The doubts are answered very nicely and the polls used in live prep is an extremely useful tool to evaluate one's progress among our peers.

During the course itself, seeing the questions asked by our peers, we can evaluate our understanding and be also aware that we are doing above average.

Software for Live Courses
I had earlier taken some online classes for various reasons. NPTEL was used in IIT earlier. But most of these online courses were a monologue and we could not express ourselves rightly , like that in a class. Here the feel was extremely different. I felt like sitting in a class, moreover, I was not un comfortable to ask questions. It was scheduled at a time, when I was always free and could give it full attention. I therefore attended all classes.

Response to emails:
I don't know how they do it, but they respond to all emails within 12 hours. It is amazing. I was extremely happy with their customer service and appreciate it a lot.

At last, I would say that e-gmat thought me how to think. It will take me beyond GMAT exam alone and would help me in general. I strongly recommend taking this course as it won't be just learning but will be 'fun' learning.

It is the best Verbal Course for non-native English Speakers. Guarantees success. It ensures that every concept is crystal clear and that common mistakes are avoided. The question answers at the end of each topic ensures that the stuff you have learnt is put into place and that you avoid the common mistakes. And also they extended my course once free of cost because I had to reschedule my GMAT due to personal reasons. All in All The best verbal course available in the market,. I recommend it to all the non-native speakers out there finding difficult to crack GMAT because of the tough Verbal. e-gmat is just for you.

I started preparing for GMAT in September 2015 - OG + e-gmat SC course. I thought I was doing well with the preparations and was following official guide religiously. I was scoring decent on mocks as well. I scored 660 in the first mock and 690 in second mock. I revised and practiced with questions & practice exams from Veritas prep. I bought exam pack 2 and re-appeared for 2 Mocks. I scored 690 and 710. My aim was 710 which seemed close. I appeared for first attempt in April 2016 and ended up scoring 660(Q49/V33) :(. I was very disappointed and realized that I had messed up in verbal section really bad. That's when I realized that my weak section was not just SC but the approach I used to take to tackle Verbal problems. That is when I bought complete verbal online course from e-gmat and started preparing. E-gmat course helped me formulate the right approach for verbal section by focusing more on meaning and identifying the errors before looking at the answers. This helped me really well. In my second attempt I ended up scoring 760(Q50/V42).

I am very grateful to e-gmat team. They extended my course enrollment dates without any extra cost after my first attempt. The course material is also very well built and organized. Kudos and Thanks to entire e-gmat team!!
