E-gmat understands the essence of the Verbal section of the GMAT exam and how non-natives approach their prep - the course is custom-designed for non-natives to reach the 90th percentile in the verbal section. An excellent platform that is interactive and comprehensive. Highly recommended!
Approach: for verbal prep, I have gone through the videos of the 3 sub-sections of the verbal section, have done the scholaranium a few times, followed by a detailed review of the OG and the Verbal Review books on a couple of occassions. With a consistent improvement across the 5mock exams that I have given, I see a potential for massive improvement on my exam day.
I took up the e-GMAT Verbal Online after taking up a few free live webinars they offer online and found the way of approaching verbal questions really tactful . It was just like doing maths. egmat makes verbal very calculative and following their rules you always know about what is going correct and what not. Be it the approach to CR questions or modifiers,parallelism,subjunctives they cover everything that is asked in a brilliant way. My RC accurcy went up to 95 percentile with their RC course. The entire money was worth investment . I never got time to do scholaranium nor did
I complete the sc and rc but still I got v39 all thanks to them
E-gmat, with its structured approach, helped me grasp the
specific approaches required for solving a verbal gmat problem. RC and SC is module driven and tests expertise in each module. Alongside, you can practice OG of your own to test your overall improvement. Specifically, I can see my score improving in SC after a few practices. You need to complete each module before practicing. For non-native speakers like me, I appreciate the way e-gmat helped me split phrase, clause from a sentence ( I never actually knew this!). I am yet to start with CR but I definitely recommend e-gmat for non-native students. WIll post a detail review after my GMAT exam,
Below is my Jan 2016 GMAT score, I took it casually.
I would like to thank Magoosh Team for their incredible support and course!
I am a non-native. My last GMAT score was 630 (Q: 49, V-26). However, my simulation scores on the GMAT software were 710 and 730 so I believed that I could do better.
I used Magoosh for both Quant and Verbal but I spent 80% of my time on Verbal.
Sentence Correction Module: Covers all the topics quite well. I recommend that one use Manhattan Book along with the course. It covers basic as well as advanced modules.
Critical Reasoning Module: I went through the module and it summarizes everything for you. I find that for critical reasoning pre-thinking is the key so I worked on changing my approach whilst attempting the question.
Reading Comprehension: This is the first time I gave importance to RC as I always believed that this skill was something too hard to be improved. However, the module guides you how to attempt a question (Pre-thinking) and was very helpful in streamlining my approach.
Quant: I have never had any issues with the Quant and I believe that Magoosh's Quant section is very good if you are aiming at scoring high score.
Support: Their support is incredible!! You can't beat that! before this attempt, I used e-GMAT's support, which is basically discouraging and not helpful at all. e-GMAT would make you travel a mile before they even try to address your question. They would force you to post your questions on third party forums before they even look at the question. Having said that, e-GMAT's content is good but the support makes me feel that I don't want to deal with them for number of reasons.
Value for money: Can I give Magoosh more than 100%? Is so, then pick that number yourself!
Thank you,
Yaman
My only regret is not finding EGMAT soon enough!!
I was in a position in which I needed to focus on both quant and verbal to get my score up. Although I didn't score above a 680 (current goal), now that I have sat through a strategy session and gone through a portion of EGMAT I am confident that my verbal score will improve. My first GMAT attempt concluded with a sad 29, after egmat I tested as high as a 36 on my practice test!!
I ended up scoring a 31 on my official exam but I attribute this to a little bit of fatigue,I didn't take full advantage of my last break!
Egmat is thorough, organized, and challenging. It will teach you to understand the meaning and THEN use strategy to attack the question. My only piece of constructive criticism is how much material you have to complete before the seminar sessions on the weekends. You shouldn't attend the sessions without completing the pre-reqs but in some instances they were on Saturdays and Sundays which posed a challenge.
I highly recommend egmat if you're struggling with verbal! Try something new! I will certainly use egmat to help me achieve my verbal score of 40+!
1. Egmat offers something that I found lacking in many other courses that I had joined that is supporting faculty and constructive replies . I always appreciate the fact that they ask for your detailed understanding first before they give their detailed analysis . This not know helps us hunk harder in why or why not we got this question wrong and helps us figure out our fleas on our own. I am going for it again after scoring 620 hoping to depend ONLY on them further . Although I'm still going for only verbal as I think I need huge improvement in that particular area again . Their scholrararium is also very good . It helps you identify your weak areas in real time . Ignorance can be fatal in any exam . Thai time I think I will be able to focus more on my weak areas .

Quant live prep proved very very helpful in improving by basics. Gmat quant never asks you questions involving surface knowledge. It requires you questions on the most basic of things which we tend to ignore. Quant Scholaranium gives you vast number of questions to practice and provides you the analysis to improve your skills and take your confidence to another level. I also liked the instructors. They are very helpful. Their explanations are crisp and easy to understand. I would definitely recommend the candidates to go for Quant live prep. It is simply a must own prep resource . All the best !

After scoring a dismal 680, I purchased the verbal live prep from e-GMAT, mainly to improve my verbal. I used to stumble in SCs and CRs. the course content is lucid and is ver easy to understand. The step-by-step framework to solve the SC drastically improved my skills and confidence in solving SCs, and it improved my RCs as well. I would especially like to talk about Scholaranium. It is the single most comprehensive practice resource I have ever come across. There are so many questions to practice, and there is so much analytics involved. It provided me all the analysis needed to improve my skills. I think verbal live prep is a must own for every non-native speaker. The instructors are prompt and helpful.
I'm a non native. My first GMAT prep test was Q46, V27. You see, I'm terrible at Verbal. The very first technique I learned in Verbal was evaluating the option and choose the correct one but this didn’t work for me. I started reading grammar but it was very difficult for me to correlate it with sentence correction while practice. And after tired day in office it was very difficult for me to even remember grammar rules. Even a day without reading drags my confidence few weeks back. I didn't know how I should go about this Verbal score. Then one of my friends suggested me to go for e-GMAT verbal online course. He used this course and conquered the GMAT with score of 750. I watched a session on sentence's meaning of e-GMAT by Payal Tandon. That session was amazing. They follow easy process for sentence correction:
1. Meaning analysis
2. Error Analysis
3. POE (Process of Elimination)
It provides me a strategy for sentence correction. I learned though the course that if you follow same strategy and practice, you will see improvement in your score. Main thing is -Meaning analysis in SC overrides grammar. I started to solve easy and medium difficulty question with accuracy of 90% and hard question with accuracy of 70%. If I want to boost my accuracy to about 90%, I'd know where to focus my time. And it’s handy to keep track of wrong answer & follow analysis thoroughly.
I thought for non-native person like me improvement of verbal score is hard task. e-GMAT comes as a solution for us. So it’s a worthy try to opt.
I came across the e-GMAT verbal course while browsing through the GMATCLUB. My last GMAT verbal score was 19 and despite solving tonnes of questions I was going nowhere. I decided to give the course a try and attended a free session. Impressed by their strategy, I decided to take the course for SC online and after liking it upgraded to GMAT Live. This course changed the way I approached verbal. I was initially just focused on getting the right answer. The e-gmat strategy focused on meaning, error and poe took sometime to practice but once done it started showing results. Now I look forward to SC. My scaled score on mocks is close to 77 and my gmat verbal score in mocks is around 32/33.
e-GMAT also introduces you to the concept of prethinking in CR which becomes critical as you approach questions of higher difficulty.
Also, their assessment tool scholaranium helps you measure your current ability and focus on your weak areas. I am scheduled for the gmat in a month and I am regularly working with it to raise my score further.
If you are serious about GMAT, E-gmat verbal is equivalent to official guide in your GMAT Prep. Include those 2 and your verbal prep is complete.
