eGMAT explains verbal concepts in great detail. I really like the SC course. They also provide excellent support and answer queries within a day or two(max) through their forum. eGMAT has been a great resource. eGMAT's Scholoranium is a good and one of the few reliable sources of practicing questions. eGMAT's course is a great package overall. They have solutions for OG questions and it really helped when I could not understand the concepts. I think that the course is worth the money. I recommend the course to anyone who wants to understand verbal concepts in detail. The only improvement I can suggest is to make the subscription valid for one year instead of 6 months.

I took Magoosh to boost my GMAT Quant. I was very impressed with the in-depth analysis and strategic method of teaching. I would recommend it to students who are looking to gain a stronger understanding of quant topics. My weak areas were Algebraic Translations, Geometry, Probability and Combinatorics, Weighted Averages and Number Properties. I spent some time reviewing concepts and then did timed practice using OG and GMAT Club. Magoosh played a major role in inculcating more confidence in my quant abilities going into the GMAT. I did not have much time but if you have 2+ months, this course is ideal to brush up rusty concepts. It is definitely worth the buy. Good luck!

This is one of the best courses I have ever taken. Coming from a back ground of non native english speaking, I am very much confused with english sentences and structure. This course really demystified all the problems I had.
Sentence correction is my most favorite part. The critical reasoning are pretty awesome as well.
I would recommend the course to every one with a non -english back ground.
it is also encouraged to undergo the quant section which heard has some great tips as well. Reading comprehension is good, but squeezing some tricks can help as well..

the webinars for starters are informative and provide some confidence to learn things better

Upon taking a practice test, I realized that, even as a native, my verbal skills were sub-par (I think I scored something like Q47/V31). I scored poorly in SC (as well as CR & RC), and things seemingly clicked during my three months of preparation before my first gmat. I scored fairly low (680) and realized I needed to do something different. Even though e-gmat seems to be targeted at non-natives, I thought to myself, if non-natives like this, then I really should like this.

What I found is that e-gmat clearly explained things to me that didn't seem all that intuitive. CR has certain rules, that I would call arbitrary and non-logical. E-gmat explained in great detail why certain answers were wrong, and that helped in eliminating wrong answer choices on more difficult questions.

Their SC was invaluable to me. I think that having a decent base of SC knowledge to work off of really helped me to grasp things quickly as I went through the SC class. Also, I now notice how poorly people at my work write.

The RC was good, but not as great as their CR and SC were for a native. I did have difficulty in determining the main purpose of passages, and this class did definitely help with that.

E-gmat quant course is very insightful and the course is very knowledge oriented. The various tests conducted in the e-gmat quant course helps to brush up the foundation levels and it increases your understanding of the subject very well. I hope to see more e-gmat practice tests. the instructors are very prompt if you address any query. The general quizzes, the test scores are very apt to the GMAT score and to understand your score level and the loop holes while attempting the tests. Thank you gmat for the support and i m looking forward to improve my score and I hope you help me boost up my score levels in the real GMAT Test.

The verbal course is well structured and tailored to the needs of non natives.Video concepts, quizzes, OG questions,application files helped me to Understand the concepts well. The way they divided OG questions according to topics is a commendable gob. Their 3 step process of solving questions, makes life much easier. I had some difficulty in Tenses and Parallelism. After going through the slides, and practicing the questions, now i am able to solve 80% of the question correctly. The course has an effectiveness of a private tutor, and doesn't cost much. Audio visual learning actually engages your ability to read. The way the whole course is designed is really commendable and highly recommended to all for whom verbal is not their strengths, especially non-natives.

Thank you e-gmat for making this happen, especially after my score of 610 (Q47,V27) in the first attempt. I am glad that I invested in the right course to achieve a whopping 120 point improvement. I give the entire credit to e-gmat course.

You guys are brilliant in analysis of each section in both Quant and Verbal. Your emphasis on attacking the question only after understanding the intended meaning of the question and brilliant explanation of all questions (with AV) in scholaranium really helped me reach my target score. With umpteen questions of excellent quality for practice and awesome analytics I never felt the need to buy any other book other than OG. The strategy sessions also helped me to get my priorities right in the last few weeks before the exam. Last but not the least the live sessions were well designed with very patient and enthusiastic tutors like Krishna, Payal, Rajat, Shradha, Japinder. You guys made me look at the finer details of a question which I completely ignored in my first attempt. Particularly your explanation of all the answer choices and why a wrong answer choice is wrong helped me cement my understanding. I am in a time zone (south korea) where the live sessions start at midnight. Though I could not attend all sessions because of odd timings, I could always catch up with the help of recordings.

Finally big kudos to all of you. You made the course look like some science subject with a systematic and structured content which amazed me. I somehow trusted the course and followed it religiously and it didn't disappoint me. I wish I had known about the course earlier during my first casual attempt. Anyway no regrets. Thank you.

firstly I read the reviews and decided to chose Magoosh. I was hesitating because I had no idea about online courses. My score was around 540. I did not expect a high score. But anyways, I registered and I do not regret! Yes, a lot of the information Magoosh provided is not on the books and the tactics really work (Especially in analytical writing). I am not a good writer at all but my AWA score is 5.00. I worked 7 months. I wathced all videos. And the result? My GMAT score is 710. Still I could not believe that I got this score because I am not a native speaker.
Thank you Magoosh and thank you Mike McGary. You are the best.

I got a 640 in my first GMAT attempt in November and was crestfallen. I took a one month break. During this period I came to know about e-GMAT's SC and CR course and decided to give it a try. It has been a consistent score improvement since then for the last 4 months or so and my verbal scores in the mocks have consistently touched 40. My next GMAT attempt is scheduled in May 2016 and I am confident of getting a 720 plus score thanks to the structured e-GMAT approach to solving verbal questions. I will recommend it to anyone who wants to hit the 90th percentile in GMAT verbal.

My GMAT journey is a long one. From 2013 to 2015, I took it five times: 630-> 700 -> 720 -> 710 -> 770. As a non-native speaker, I have to say e-gmat indeed helped me to cross the 750 mark.

The first four times, I worked very hard and I’m very persistent. I studied all the materials you’ve heard of and I’ve put hundreds of hours into it. However, I still couldn’t reach my target score.

Then I began to realize GMAT is a test that requires not only hard work, but also an effective strategy and balanced mind. So when I got a lower score the fourth time, I took a chance with e-gmat and bought the verbal online course. Given the fact that I got big fellowship from a top 15 school, I believe the two hundred dollars is probably the best investment I’ve made so far.

I’m not saying e-gmat is the solution to all GMAT problems. I only testify that e-gmat approach for verbal worked very well for me. First, it helps you identify your strengths and weaknesses, which will help you better allocate your time and efforts on different sections. Secondly, its ‘meaning analysis’ approach to tackle sentence correction seems the best approach to me. I couldn’t think of other better way to prepare for this SC section. Thirdly, its CR problems are difficult so the real GMAT problems may seem easier for you. In addition, its free webinars on how to prepare for GMAT strategically are priceless, because even if a test taker is proficient in every individual section, he/she may still not able to achieve her best when all three types of problems are mixed together. Not to mention GMAT is computer adaptive. There’s just so much useful information provided in those webinars.

Anyway, as someone who used to not believe test prep courses, I wholeheartedly thank e-gmat.
