I enrolled for eGMAT verbal online course a few months back and found the course very helpful. All modules are designed excellently. All concepts are very well explained and sufficient practice material is also available in scholaranium. I personally liked sentence correction module, which gave me tough time before start of the course. Now, i am able to solve SC questions very fast with good accuracy. Coming to CR the concept of prethinking is very unique of eGMAT. Prethinking not only helps you in reducing your solving time but also greatly improves your accuracy. In RC module strategies are discussed on how to read effectively given passage. This is really helpful to students, who don't have the habit of reading. Overall, i benefited a lot from the course.

I bought Magoosh after trying out friend's account. I loved the videos, I do wish that I spent more than 3 weeks studying with this program. I really thought the teacher was super informative and had great techniques. This is not a crash study course, or a get rich quick, you really need to take your time. It helps improve scores, however, I did not take the exam before studying. A friend of mine who did spend more time and effort increased her score by 70points and scored over a 600. I did not use the verbal portion mainly because I didn't have enough time to study for that portion.

I fully attribute my verbal improvement to e-GMAT. After I subscribed to e-GMAT trial i realized the approach they were using was very useful in my case and i subscribed the verbal online course .The audio visual files followed by short Quiz for assessing the improvement was one key approach that helped me throughout this course . Moreover the difficulty level and content structure of Quiz in each section was as per Module covered (like if one has covered modifier and parallelism one will not encounter any idiom question ) which helps in determining the improvement rather than getting demoralized when failed to solve one due to a concept not covered. Another tools of E-Gmat that helped me are Quiz review Section and Scholaranium.
On the one hand Quiz review section consist of detail analysis to the quiz and an ask an expert option for asking my doubts and shows doubts from other students (which covered most of my doubts ) and Scholaranium on the other hand gives my progress in hand at anytime which helped me a lot in deciding which section i should focus more as i progressed through the course , which i think is the most critical .
At last i want to thanks to all e-GMAT team members ( Rajat, Payal ,Anubhav, Krishna & Shraddha ) for their support and feedback .

I bought the eGmat Verbal online course after a lot of research and reviews on the internet. It is indeed one of the BEST course material available for verbal online and has helped me strengthen my concepts a lot.

After following the proper techniques and approach mentioned in the videos you can hardly get your answers wrong. The concepts are briefed in a mannered approach followed by small concept revision quiz. Before following these videos I used to make my attempt on general understanding of the statement but after following the proper strategy explained in the course I realized that it's a matter of the approach followed rather than the mere general thinking.

I would recommend it for any aspirant who wishes to improve on their verbal score.

October 2015 – V19
March 2016 – V29 (After e-GMAT preparation)

I am a non native English speaker and have been prepping for the GMAT for a quite sometime from august 2015. I took my first official GMAT test last october and the outcome is as you could see above. I am not yet done and will write my 3rd very soon. I started my preparation with the OG and going through tens of forum posts on GMAT Club. However, by october 2015 I was ready, or so I felt. The preparation material I have used were Manhatten prep, GMAT club test, Powerprep and GMAC prep. I was quite confident of getting a 700+ score as the mock tests were giving me quite assuring results. However as it turned out to be the actual score in verbal was a disaster. I couldn't find any explanation to my results as I thought memorising the rules will make me successful in answering verbal questions. I find there is no shortage in these book itself, however, later I came to believe that the key is to understand the question and apply the correct approach in answering the GMAT questions.

As I couldn't sort out the reason for my poor score I was undecided as to my next move in Verbal. Frustrated and unwilling to give up I wrote a review in GMAT club forum to understand what actually went wrong. Thats when I was contacted by Rajat explaining about the e-GMAT verbal live prep course and its success among non native speakers. At first I was reluctant but later decided to invest in Verbal live prep after attending some live preparation session as I saw the difference in how the verbal session was approached. Now that I realize the values that the courses offered and I've been through others', I think I can provide my thoughts into E-GMAT verbal preparation course.

- I should say the SC course is brilliant ! It took me some time to understand how to go about the preparation. But do get the preparation schedule as proscribed and stick to it. The course material is laid out in such fashion that it starts from scratch with some basic grammer rules to topic by topic approach. Each topic is arranged systematically in small chapters from basic to advanced level each containing pre-quiz, then concept explanation and post assessment quiz followed by E-GMAT practice questions and OG questions.

The valuable bit I found apart from answeting the questions correctly is the explanation as to why the other answer choices are incorrect. This has helped me a lot in testing my understanding as well as reinforcing my foundations. This is especially valuable for non-English speakers to approach the questions systematically and get the right answer.

- CR course though needed a different approach in answering the questions I found the e-GMAT 3 step approach of understanding the argument, prethinking and selecting the answer choice as a valuable tool. Especially the prethinking was an eye opener as this has focused my thought process in selecting the correct choice.

Though some of the questions were way out, the underlying course material for CR was good trying to focalise on question types and how to go about solving them. The Quiz platform is brilliant with brilliant analytics and also the choice to pick easy, moderate and hard questions.

- RC course is also very good. I started out as not as strong but now these are my comfortable subjects. E-gmat did a good job but practice and practice until it makes you comfortable.

e-GMAT's staff were keen to get the questions answered and correct any gap in the understanding. As well as the e-GMAT support team response are always quick and helpful. Overall, I'm completely satisfied with both the courses and I hope to return here with my success story.

e-GMAT verbal online course is one of the best course I have come across. The Verbal online course is very well-structured and approach used for each section is highly effective. It is a single course that covers every concept that is important from the GMAT perspective. After each concept, there is a respective application quiz for practice.

For Sentence correction, the emphasis is on meaning.Every concept is explained really well with examples. With e-gmat approach to SC, I can now solve each SC question within 1 minute, without further guessing the correct answer.

For Critical Reasoning, the pre-thinking approach is really good. It trains your mind and helps you cross-out the wrong answer options immediately.

In RC, emphasis is on understanding the structure of the passage. Logical structure of the passage,along with pre-thinking approach helps to evaluate the right answer choice.

I am confident in tackling Verbal questions all thanks to this course. Worth every penny!

Being a non-native exam taker, verbal was my biggest pain area. I was always confused between seemingly right answers and grammatically right answers. This is where the eGMAT course really helped me to understand the fine nuances of spotting grammatical mistakes.

I have taken the CAT MBA entrance exam in India earlier and scored a 99%tile on the same. I interacted with few others preparing for GMAT exam and the general feedback was that if you have taken CAT then GMAT should be a walk in the park. With this overconfidence I took the exam without delving too much into the test patterns, type of questions etc.

To my shock, i scored 670 which was below a target score of 700 and above. I came back home straight after the exam and enrolled for a full course with eGMAT verbal online.

The course can seem a little slow but it packs in lots of examples, application files, quizzes and OG questions to strengthen your understanding of verbal concepts step by step.

With some dedicated preparation on the verbal part i retook the exam three months after my first experience and was able to score 700. The 30 points improvement was in Verbal with my Quant scores remaining the same between the 2 attempts.

I would definitely recommend eGMAT to any non native test taker who is looking for big improvements in their Verbal scores.

During 1st attempt,I have used Manhattan, Kaplan and Official guides for exam preparation.I couldn't perform well in the exam and my weaknesses were exposed especially in the Verbal section. Later, I've taken a long break without considering a next try for couple of years.However, I have been considering for a while to take GMAT again and finally decided at the end of 2015.

I was looking for Verbal courses and read reviews on GMATCLUB for each course provider. Without any hesitation, I signed up for e-GMAT Verbal course and they organized very well with the better content, at end of each topic testing the acquired skills, abilitiy quizzes and detailed explanation presented for all the questions on the platform. One best thing about the course, it comes with a better testing platform that features moderate to complex questions and explanations. I believe this course is a very valuable especially for those who are non-native English speakers and also weak in verbal section.

- SC course is designed structurally, nice approach used to tackle SC Questions by understanding the meaning of the sentence and eliminating wrong choices very easily. Concepts are taught at right pace in detail, provided better explanation and testing the skills with the help of Quizzes.If any concepts/explanations aren't clear, experts clear the doubts that are posted on the forum.

- CR course is very good with better explanations how to pre-think assumptions, understanding the nuances of argument and apply necessary skills to tackle variety of CR Questions.Quizzing platform is amazing with a mixture very hard to moderate questions and explanation for each question is awesome.

- RC course is alright with the lectures and ability tests.
- IR course is exhaustive and covered all possible types of Questions that may appear in official GMAT exam.Now, I've mastered this area with the help of e-GMAT Verbal course.Live sessions are amazing with better Q&A sessions and good interaction with the experts.

As per my experience with e-GMAT course, I've learnt detailed concepts, solid understanding of each section and equipped with the skills/tricks to perform well in the exam. I recommend this course for the aspirants who might be considering to take GMAT and also aiming for a best score.

For sentence correction, e-Gmat one of the best.
I took the e-Gmat Verbal Live prep. It has ques on reading comprehension, critical reasoning and sentence correction.
Each of these categories is then divided in easy medium and hard ques. This is great for students as they can start with easy and then move up the difficulty level. Also, there so many videos lessons that one can go through prior to doing these questions. All in all e_Gmat is great for students.
I would recommend e-gmat for non native english speakers as it helps us in understanding and getting a good score.

Thanks!

I'm a non-native who used to be quite confident about my English skills. I got a TOEFL of 113/120.
Math has always been my worst nightmare, but I had no idea verbal part could be so traumatizing.
GMAT verbal was nothing like what I thought it would be.

I've finished all the questions in the Official Guide and Verbal Review...twice.
I took a GMAT course that cost around 1,000 USD.
Hired a native private tutor that cost around 100 USD/hr.
Still nothing really worked.
I still couldn't improve my verbal score that much.

Then my friend introduced to E-GMAT. My first thought was that it was a lot cheaper that all the courses I've attended. I've done no research on the reviews about the course whatsoever, but decided to try it anyway.

I've found that the course structure and interface were so easy to navigate.
Each VDO clip is short, yet informative. And they are structured in a way that makes your learning curve about each topic improve very quickly.
(You have to take a quiz at the end of each clip before you can move on to other sections. The quiz helped to improve my application of each of the concept a lot.)

E-GMAT focuses more on training your brain to be more used to GMAT kind of logic, which to me, is the most important of all.
The pre-thinking approach they've introduced was very useful. It helped improve the time I spend/que. a lot.
The scholaranium part was the best part. It will help you keep track of your progress so you can strengthen one part at a time.
The course helped improved 5 points for my verbal part for my last GMAT. And I'l still be using it to improve my score further more.

I would highly recommend this online course to anyone taking the GMAT to give this a try.
