Course Magoosh Premium

I highly recommend the Magoosh course.
I signed up for the Premium package (Quant + Verbal). Both the sections were taught right from the very basics, which really helped because I realized a lot of fundamentals were out of place.
The Verbal section in particular was very detailed, with typical mistake patterns highlighted. This helps tremendously because the verbal part of the exam is quite fast-paced (in my opinion).
Quant thoroughly covered all concepts, but I would say it was a little more on the basic side. I did practice some additional tougher sums from other books.
Overall, great material. Definitely recommend it.

Overall the verbal online course is well designed for non-natives. The SC part is the best and striking feature of the course. Course content is clear and well presented. It presents concepts that needs to be practised initially but gradually you save time when you apply the embed the thought process into your thinking. With regards to improvement, I will say there should be a summary of all concepts videos so you can go through them before the exam or before doing mocks. Apart from this, I found the course to be quite useful. I tried the Quant course, which found to be equally good and well presented.

I think that one of the key secrets to achieve 700+ score on the GMAT for people who doesn’t have the natural ability for standardized tests is perseverance.
I have been studying for a while, most of the time with OG and with resources from big brands. I took classes, and private tutoring, but the improvements were not there. It was until I hear about E-Gmat that my scores start improving. I was first skeptical, so I decided to take the free video sessions for SC, and after that I understood that E-Gmat method was ideal for me. I first subscribed to the Verbal Live Prep and got access to Live Sessions for each of the sections, and a huge number of explanatory videos that where very helpful to improve my comprehension and abilities of specific topics. After understanding that my issue was not the time given for each question, but my gaps in the approach and concepts, I finally untapped my potential on the Verbal section, improving on my mock tests from an original V24 to V40.
For the Quant section, since I am an engineer, I decided not to follow their method, and stuck on self-practice of problems on the OG.
After a bunch of mock tests from different resources, I got to the point of getting the 700+ results I was expecting. So I decided to present the GMAT at the end of 2015. I was very confident of getting a high score, but unfortunately my quant skills abandoned me that day, and even though my verbal results were very strong, I did not get the 700+ result I was expecting.
Therefore after a break of studying, I decided to try again, but this time I got the subscription to the Quant sessions on E-gmat during this 2nd quarter of 2016. I am planning to take the exam in two months, I am confident that now that I am using the same resources for my Verbal and Quant, I will achieve my target score.
I found the e-gmat method as the most logical and easy to follow when compared to other big brands. Additionally, I like that it has a very well re-designed and interactive webpage that allows you to easily keep track of your progress, and keep engaged and motivated to continue studying. Finally, its content is very complete, explanations to OG questions are very detail, instructors are very responsive to student questions, and customer service makes you feel as special and unique as you can be.

Due to this, in my opinion E-gmat is a great resource and might be enough to get well prepared for the GMAT

Was initially wondering whether I should go for a paid verbal course given the vast material one already has freely available. A lot of people recommended the eGMAT lessons and I decided to give it a shot. Loved the fact there was a session on each microtopic - which helped in making the concepts very clear. Also, the quiz at the end gave good practice and helped in solidifying the same. Would probably attribute a 20-30 pointer difference to my result to these guys. One can also take a trial to really get a feel of the course. Works perfectly for guys who want to study at their own pace.

e-GMAT verbal online course to the rescue...

e-GMAT courses are very well designed and effective for non-native speakers who do not have a "ear" to correct mistakes in SC. They help you follow a structured 3 step approach to tackle all SC problems in GMAT. This helps us deal with the GMAT as any regular "standardized" test and easily breeze through 650 plus questions in GMAT. For questions above 700 level you need to utilize the scholarnarium tool designed by e-GMAT team. This is a highly efficient tool preparing us for the tougher questions on the GMAT. So in total, i have personally benefited from the e-GMAT verbal online course. My accuracy in SC has improved from an abysmal 40% to over 80%. Also i am using this tool to strengthen my CR & RC performance. You need to plan the usage of the course in the same pattern as suggested by e-GMAT team. Also practice the OG questions in the order suggested by them. Even they have prepared detailed solutions to all the OG questions which is much more in-depth as compared to the official guide solutions. I would definitely recommend verbal online e-gmat course to all those who want to improve their verbal performance in GMAT.

I undertook the Verbal course for 40 days and could achieve a score of 700 (Q50, V34). e-GMAT indeed is one of the best courses out there, specially for non-natives. They have divided the entire course in a very structured manner. SC, RC, CR- all the three components of Verbal are very well explained in a methodical manner. Any non-native can score well at GMAT by religiously following the methods described by the instructors at e-GMAT. The support at eGMAT is also great with a quick turnaround time for any query.
I would recommend eGMAT Verbal Online course for anyone who has no idea as to how to go about the verbal preparation.

SC has been a problem for me. E-GMAT approach to logic is sound for not only the test prep but also for day to day usage. I had already referred few other recommended sources but they really did not help me in improving my SC accuracy rate significantly. I found many reviews for e-gmat's SC course that convinced me to sign up for the course.The most important thing about e-gmat is that: they claim their course is designed for non-natives. This fact drew my attention. I finally took the e-gmat Verbal Live Pre course. The interface is very clean; topics are well arranged. The interface tracks your progress. The explanation to each question is explained very methodologically. I really appreciate their efforts in building this excellent platform.

e-gmat! Best for Non-Natives!

I would like to second on the above mentioned tag line (of e-gmat)- "best course for non-natives". The course was a perfect fit for me. Not only did the course provide me knowledge, but also it changed the way I look at Verbal now. All the sections are very well built up and all the topics are nicely aligned. You can always skip the basic topics if you are good at those. Writing this review in a hurry. Will post a new one with all the details and hopefully with a better score. P.S.- Scholarnium has a huge pool of questions and one must use this feature.

GMAT club mocks & eGMAT verbal online course

I am using the eGMAT verbal online course for the past 5 months now. I must say that they are the best in the town verbal stuff available for non natives. My first GMAT score was V21. Now after the structured approach to verbal questions, such as pre-thinking in CR, RC & sentence breakdown & meaning understanding SC helped me break the ice. My mock scores for verbal are now around V35. Also the GMAT CLUB mock tests in quant helped me a lot more. Intially q45 was my score. after taking many of the qaunt mocks, now it has improved to around V49.

You can find my detailed debrief at the following location.
http://gmatclub.com/forum/gmat-debrief-770-q50-v44-ir8-awa5-215678.html#p1690881

This review if for e-gmat Verbal Online course only.
I found the course to be very helpful. As mentioned in my debrief I was stuck between 30-37 in Verbal score most of the times. After doing the course once and revising it once, I consistently managed to score above 40. I think the folks at e-gmat have managed to drill down the required essence of English grammar necessary for GMAT and developed a good approach for every problem type. I did not join any other course so I cannot compare it with any other course, but in itself, I feel the e-gmat course, if followed diligently, is worth very dollar or rupee spent on it.

Pros:
1) The course gives a very good approach for every problem type. If you are in the course, learn the 'strategy' of the problem first and then the specifics. For e.g. in SC, it is understanding the meaning, in RC, it is developing an interest in the passage and so on. The course will not delve much on basics of grammar like gerunds and what not, and I think atleast for the GMAT prep that is not such a bad thing.
2) The course is cheap. It is easy to spend 1000s for dollars in GMAT prep and for some it might be required. But e-gmat is 1/10th the cost and you can get deals occasionally. The GMAT club tests which come with it are a bonus and so is the IR section. The GMAT club quant tests are really good.
3) The interactive medium of videos is very good. It does not make the course boring. Also the various exercises and problems after every course are good.
4) The free seminars on multiple topics are beneficial. At my location, the seminars started Sat or Sun 7am and it became a habit for me to get up for them and study. Some of them may go long and feel repetitive but nevertheless ultimately keep you in touch with the material. The verbal workshop helped me compare myself with other students (since I was not in the Verbal Live course).
5) Scholaranium - good tool to get a quick evaluation of oneself. Although I did not use this as much as I could have (since I ran out of time), it is helpful if you are stressed about a particular topic.

Cons:
There are few things that can be improved.
1) Forums - Sadly, I think the forums on e-gmat need work. The forum is not interactive (members cannot reply to each other) and I never got good help from the experts. The answers were slow (2-3 days which is understandable given the volume) and not real answers but questions to test understanding. This is good but by that time I had already moved on to next topic. GMAT club is most useful in this regard. If the question is a general one, just google the whole sentence and gmatclub comes usually in top 5 links with detailed discussions.
2) IR section - This section is really bonus with Verbal course but I think e-gmat (and pretty much most GMAT coaching centers) need to work on improving IR. The current IR course is good but it does not have the same rigor and focus on strategy like Verbal in my opinion. It seems most admissions consultants now give great importance to IR scores and it will help both e-gmat and students to have a full-fledged course on IR.

So thats it from my side. Hope this review is helpful and if you have any questions, feel free to PM me. Good luck!
