E-gmat verbal, I would say my savior ..I was literally struggling to remember the rules in the Manhattan SC book ...and the less i talk about my application of those rules in official question, the better it is...After about 3-4 weeks of studying Manhattan SC I was not getting even 50% of the question correct ...then from somewhere I got this link for free webinar for SC ..and trust me within half an hour of the webinar I made my decision to join verbal live prep from e-gmat ..but then the usual skepticism started so I waited to attend another free session which was 15 days from then ...and finally made my decision to join ...
If I regret anything about my preparation, it is those 15 days I wasted in thinking about making the decision..which could have well made a difference of another 20 points atleast to my score...

I am a non native, but I always thought that my spoken and written English is almost perfect. Lately, when I started preparing for GMAT, I got that realization that the colloquial English is different from pure grammatical and logical English. As a result, I struggled with my verbal section's score. Then finally I signed up at egmat and undertook its 3 step approach for SC and specific approaches for RC and CR. The content is organized nicely with n number of examples and practice questions. Provided that one put in one's own share of efforts, this course can do wonders with your verbal score. Since i am still preparing to give another shot at gmat, I could feel that I am improving my method to approach questions.

I tried some practice questions that came with a Princeton Review book and also tried the trial from the economist. Both were horribly slow for the practice I wanted and honestly not good practice.

Magoosh was by far the best comparison to what the actual GMAT felt like. The videos on magoosh really helped me think through the actual problems and come up with actual strategies to improve on the problem types of was weak on. I probably went through some of the questions too quickly, but the video explanations were really good and the overall experience was highly enjoyable. Magoosh was good enough that I almost miss studying for the GMAT (almost).

I took the online verbal course by eGMAT and I must say that I was very impressed by the way the topics were covered. The matter is quite relevant to the pattern and also the questions and quizzes included were of great help in improving the GMAT score. I would recommend E-GMAT verbal prep to anyone preparing for GMAT. The Scholoranium which comes free with egmat Verbal courses is a beast in itself. A humongous collection of questions & their deep analysis will take you further in your gmat prep. The analytics it provides for the questions attempted is also world class. Often the students have to prepare their own error logs using Excel and what not. This tool automates a lot of that and gives you insights which you can utilize to improve your performance in areas where you are not performing well.
Overall, its a great practice tool to further refine your gmat verbal prep. You yourself will see the results after you have been halfway through the questions database as the concepts covered and tested are thorough and comprehensive.
For few very tough questions, the explanation might be confusing but don't get disheartened if you get them wrong, focus more on enhancing your learning with each attempt rather than trying to get everything right all the time.
If you have taken some other course, you can also buy this separately for which I highly recommend to do so.

Dear friends,
I'm Rahul!

I hope this small story of mine finds you at the pink of your health !
Before i share my GMAT experience, i humbly apologize to spare me if i make any errors in my write-up as it's late at night and i'm just too tired to examine my writing skills ; i just want my thoughts to come over.
I heard of GMAT for the first time when i was in the final year of my college. It was really intimidating to listen to my friends when they discussed how tough it's to crack the GMAT. Well on those days, i never thought that i'd be taking the GMAT, not even in my wildest dreams. But thoughts gradually evolved after my professional career started in 2013. I saw the importance of an MBA to propel my career in the direction i wanted it to. As i delved into the details of B-schools, i was compelled by ISB's pedagogy and its experiential learning approach. So , i decided to take the GMAT in 2015 to realize my dream of making it to ISB. However, I was transferred to any new business unit, and things started falling apart as i was too bogged down by my professional commitments. So, life went on as it was and so did my job. Although i could hardly manage time for my preparation amidst my professional life, i never let a slightest dent to affect my belief that i could do it. With more than 3 years at my job, i realized it was high-time to get started if i wanted to excel and grow; it was the now or never situation for me. So, i enrolled myself at mba.com and started looking for options to get off the mark. A dear friend of mine, who is pursuing his MS in Washington, suggested that he heard of an online course called e-GMAT, and i should look at it for once. I enrolled for the free trial at e-GMAT's website, and was pretty satisfied with the selected topics i went through. Since i didn't have much time to do a lot of research, i immediately enrolled for its verbal online course and never regretted my decision; i didn't opt for the verbal live prep course as i wanted to study at my own pace and comfort because of my demanding job. I gradually picked up the pace and accelerated my preparation to take my GMAT before mid-Sep 2016 as i planned to apply to ISB in round 1 only. e-GMAT helped me to explore the subtleties of standard English grammar which are used in solving the sentence correction section of the GMAT. While many non-natives can claim to have good command over English, i bet everyone will be surprised to know that our assumptions on correct English and correct usage will fall apart as we delve into the details of what's actually required at GMAT. In addition, the modules on critical reasoning was also very thought-provoking as it helped to develop pre-thinking approach to successfully take on the reasoning section. Pre-thinking approach gives you an ability to assess the line of reasoning and come to your own answers without even looking at the choices. this experience has helped me in my AWA section too as this section also asks you to identify the flaw in the reasoning. The icing on the cake is the scholaranium section of the course. It housed a large number of questions, from the simplest to the toughest, to specifically judge your preparation level with varying difficulty level. it really honed my preparation for the verbal section. After 1.5 months of preparation, i took the GMAT on Sep22, 2016. I scored a 710 (Q50 and V37) in my very first attempt, and i was happy with my performance (couldn't have asked for more with 12+ hours in my job for almost 29 days a month). My overall scored improved by 70 points, and my verbal score improved by 9 points since i had taken my 1st mock, in which i scored a 640. I realize that i could have improved on my verbal score if i had a little more time to brush my verbal preparation further, but nevertheless i guess this is how life goes; sometimes, you don't have the luxury of too much preparation time. I'm truly indebted to the entire e-GMAT team for its peerless guidance. I've applied to my dream B-school and have been eagerly waiting for a positive response. Fingers crossed !!! Wish me luck !!!

Good luck to all of you for your endeavors !!!

I highly recommend the e-GMAT Quant Live Prep course to anyone who feels comfortable in the quantitative section but still don't manage to reach Q49-51 score. The course stresses on the importance of little details that make the difference during the exam or practice questions. It helps you how to face complex questions under time pressure circumstances.

Its practice exercises are a golden mine and you must squeeze all the key takeaways that each of those exercises puts forward.

Now I feel in a great shape to score Q49+ thanks to the great material offered by e-GMAT. Hopefully I will be able to share a new success story with all of you very soon. Fingers crossed

I highly recommend e-GMAT Verbal Online course to anyone who is struggling with verbal section of GMAT. This course makes you being more confident when you respond to any verbal question. The gain of confidence results in better time management and eventually better overall score.

By the time I registered on e-GMAT Verbal Online I was completely lost and had no clue about what I was doing wrong in SC. I felt that I knew all the grammar rules but still was unable to respond with confidence. Now I know why I was failing and my performance has improved considerably.

The course is very well structured and concise. Pay attention to the video explanations though, they'll be the most important part of the module. The tricks in maths section are applaudable, the dual explanations makes you find the faster approach, little tips like take sometime to understand the questions and find the best approach(for me it was a good 30secs per question) also contributed to my quant improvement.
I was initially skeptical of the verbal section as the verbal lessons seemed a lot of work and seemed too much in depth than needed.I was not hopeful of a 700+ score i made will to do every single question, saw every lesson and reviewed video explanations of every incorrect answer, the criteria to be eligible for the full refund (50 point improvement scheme). Well, this turned out to be a blessing. The quality of the material is very well reflected in my score.
More than that, the team was very cooperative, they even extended my subscription upon request.
Hence,i highly recommend this course.

I have always been pretty comfortable with Quant section. After my first attempt, I realized that my verbal approach needs to change, specially for SC questions. After reading a lot of reviews on GMATClub, I decided to go with E-Gmat verbal Online course.

I found the Verbal Online course fantastic! I have gone through a lot of stuff for Verbal section before: MGMAT books, Powerscore Bible, and what not, but the content and topic clarity I found with verbal online course is unmatched. I believe it is a one stop resource that anyone would need to crack verbal section on GMAT. The Scholaranium made improving and tracking accuracy really easy. Kudos to E-Gmat!

The course was very comprehensive especially the SC section. The best way to efficiently use this course is to go through the concept files and solve the scholaranium questions. The support provided by e-gmat experts are also amazing.The concepts of PreThinking and falsification condition while solving the CR questions was amazing. The RC section contains ample number of questions to equip you with nice preparation. The practice tool Scholaranium is among the best tools available online to practice GMAT like questions. Not only are the the practice questions great but also the analysis are immensely helpful in identifying your weak areas within each section of SC/CR/RC.
I wish they would have more full length practice tests available as part of Scholaranium.
Backed up with a great support team, the e-GMAT course is among the most sought after options available for anyone who is looking for all in all comprehensive course to tackle the verbal section on the GMAT.
I would highly recommend it!
