e-GMAT verbal live prep is a best course available out there for non-natives. I signed up for e-GMAT verbal live prep and started preparing with sentence correction section. Thanks to AV methodology that I could improve my GMAT SC to a great extent. My accuracy level reached 90%. I attended 2-3 verbal live workshops as well. They were terrific. I am a great fan of Shraddha Jaiswal. The way she attacks SCs just blows my mind away. I learnt alot from her explanations. However, I couldn't complete GMAT RC due to some personal issues. CR is more or less OK, but I didn't find it very interesting, TBH. I kind of did CR on my won.

First of all, I want to say that I have been a Magoosh client since 2014. I really liked how thorough the quant material is explained. The videos are structured by the topic. At the end of each topic, you can take a quiz. Can't say much on the verbal, as I combined Magoosh with E-GMAT. Nonetheless, I can say that the questions represent additional practice.
Very Hard questions seem pretty challenging, yet the concepts tested are very simple...it only makes you faceslap yourself for making such silly mistakes.
Mike McGarry is an awesome teacher, and his feedback is always valuable. Overall, Magoosh's feedback is way better than the ones from other companies (i.e. e-Gmat).

I strongly recommend taking the courses if you need to brush up your fundamentals in Quant.

Quick update: Magoosh helped me to increase my raw Q score to 49, which is not bad at all.

I am from Indonesia, so English is definitely not my first language. I knew from the beginning that I would struggle in verbal. Having an accounting background and experience working with math, I believe that Math is something that I can handle (though math in GMAT is not 100% math, I am sure your ability working with math will help you to solve the problem faster). So I joint Kaplan course here in Jakarta.
Sadly it was not enough, BOOM I got 530 on my GMAT test. The verbal score was a low 20 (I don't event want to mention the exact score) while the math score was pretty satisfying: 46.

I did not let my self down too long, I decided to jump in again. I bought SC & CR Manhattan books. Read every pages in detail. Tried to do mock every week. But I still didn't see a good improvement. Then I read about e-GMAT in Beatthegmat and Gmatclub, they said it is the right course for non-native. Nothing to lose, I registered the free-limited course from e-gmat. Surprisingly, I really really like the way of every videos explains about the problem and material. They did not show a tips and trick or shortcut but how to understand the problem, the real root cause, and step to approach the problem. All are packed in a simple and very detail way, perfect for non-natives. I also found it to be much more easier to understand the material by watching the video rather than reading books or joining class, because you can always repeat if you don't understand, and you can even email them to ask a difficult problem. Then I purchase the Verbal Online Course, and I am so great I did so. I did not realize that the approach to learn GMAT for non-native and native should be different, but yea, it makes sense!

For non native, I think you can go to other course such as Manhattan after you finish e-gmat. It works much better, because now you have an understanding about GMAT problem, not memorising or even guessing through shortcut. So these course will complete you as you also try different style of problem. That what I experienced my self. I understood Manhattan after completing e-gmat, even though I have read the book before taking e-GMAT.

My score improve from 530 to 650!!!
and the most important one, my verbal score improve to 32!!!!!

I have been away from a college for 7 years thus, I had to refresh everything. Magoosh's VDO lessons were very useful to refresh math concept for the folk like me. They provided not only basic concepts but also techniques to solve very hard quant questions.

Even though Magoosh costs you the lowest price in the market, it has tons of questions, 600 quant and 500 verbal questions. The quant questions are very close to the real test, not too hard or too easy like other test preparation courses. These questions are sufficient for scoring 700up if you are already good in English or a native speaker. I highly recommended quant section because of the cost and plenty of questions.

Of the verbal section, the questions were not quite the same as the real test. As a non-native speaker, I found that to prepare for this section, extra homework was required, for example, reading the business articles to improve vocabulary. I faced a difficulty in CR and RC because of my vocabulary.
Of the SC, estimated 50% of the questions in the real test were taught in the Magoosh's lesson while the others were about logical sentence structure that required reading comprehensive skill. If you are a native speaker or already very good in English, you might choose Magoosh to learn tricks and techniques in the verbal section. However, I did not recommend it for a non-native speaker who want to start learning from the basic English concept.

Before studying with Magoosh, I got Q34 V17. The real test I got Q48 V20. It is obvious that I vastly improved in quant section but not verbal.

When I first took the GMAT, I was really disappointed with my low verbal score (22) after long preparation, thus I was thinking it would be impossible to have a higher score since I am not an english speaker.
Seeking for some help at internet, I found some great reviews about e-GMAT, but as expected, I was incredulous about its efficiency until I took the free trial. I started with the Sentece Correction course, with no doubt, it is the best I ever found. It explains very easily the usage of modifiers and most important how to break the sentence in small chunks to better understand the intended meaning. Honestly, the sentence correction questions on GMAT became much easier.
Additionally, I would like to point out the Critical Reasoning course. It is simply amazing how boldface are easier than we think. Also, the art of pre-thinking is a must for someone willing to have higher score. Definetely, I recommend e-GMAT, principally for non-english speakers just like me.

I opted for this course in order to get the access to the MGMAT guides and officially began my preparation for the test. I think the books did a good job in providing the fundamentals of the course and the IR course on the GMAT interact helped in understanding that section. The OG tracker i.e. the navigator and the access to the 6 MGMAT tests came free with this course and were really helpful in measuring the performance during the preparation. I would recommend you to start your study for the GMAT with these books to develop your foundation and then maybe after some practice tests figure out your weak areas and see if the course can help, in case not you can either upgrade to live/interact or switch to a course that can provide you a online video based learning.

After going through all the positive reviews of the e-gmat verbal live prep course I enrolled for the course and I must say I started at a verbal score of 17 and the course helped me move to V32 in the actual exam the approach for the sentence correction is especially very impressive and in my opinion very helpful for the non natives. The sections on CR and RC were also very comprehensive and helped in understanding the format in which GMAT asks the questions. I would highly recommend this course in case you are a non native and are looking forward to increase your verbal score.

Being a business Analyst by profession in a global company, working with people on the west and east who fall under completely different time zones, I know how difficult it is to manage both work and studies simultaneously. Going through a proper classroom training practically doesn't work because I have tried it. Plus it has various disadvantages like missing classes due to work, coping up with the program timelines etc. For people like me who don't compromise, e-GMAT is the road to take for scoring 700+. I am able to study at my own speed and convenient schedule. Plus I get not to miss any session as they are always recorded.
The concepts covered are deep and fantastically crafted especially for non natives like me. The approach and the way the whole program is designed & structured is really commendable.
Each verbal concept is explained thoroughly with state of the art examples and explanations. Especially the sentence correction course is very well designed and structured. The presenters are really skilled. Everything is to the point and they know what 700+ score which makes eGMAT stand out from rest of the other GMAT courses in the market The eGMAT scolaranium is the best self-assessment tool any aspirant could own. This is really helping me not only with my GMAT preparions but with my work as well. My language has improved a great deal. Thanks e-GMAT.

Egmat verbal is something pathbreaking for me. This course teaches us that if you cannot keep things simple you have not perfected them yet. No complications, no hazzle, one can set his own pace, 'n' number of replays of videos , one can fit and start it any ongoing batch. Course fees and extensions are quite economical and unbeatable in the market. Just need to follow the content precisely and methodically. This is a phenomenal course and the approach is quite amazing. You will be blown away by the process of disintegrating complex things into basics. The only things you will mind at the start of this course is that you have to through some ridiculously simple facts and grammer rules but it will prove quite handy as the course advances.

Egmat Faculty - Its their sincerity and dedication which lures me to always go for this course. Fortunately or unfortunately I have a long association with this amazing faculty. Their constant quest of improving and bringing course effective tools such as "Scholaranium" sets them apart from the market. You will make out soon that they are at the top because of their passion and not for minting money.
Being an Italian Inbound Tour Guide I am lingering on my gmat for quite long due to my professional exigencies but I am overwhelmed how egmat understands and advocates my case to bring optimum result. Complete showcase of ethics !
This course is revolutionary in itself and cannot think of my gmat journey without them.

I first took the GMAT on 2013 and scored 590 Q 47 V 25. I knew on the first trial I did not do so well because I did not have the stamina and strategies to do well. Thus, on the first trial, I kind of gave up half way though the test.

2.5 years later I give my MBA dream another shot and decided to break 700 on the GMAT. I was searching for "shortcuts" on verbal and could not find any........until I found e-GMAT. The course was well structured for non-native. The SC section was superb. I feel that I was solving engineering problems, because I have developed the strategies that are RELIABLE and REPETABLE. The CR is the second best part of the course. The art of "pre-thinking" really invokes my critical thinking skills and after mastering it, CR is a piece of cake. RC is by far the hardest section for me, and I should have spent more time studying for it. But e-GMAT RC course is also superb.

On test day I did well on all sections. I guessed through 10 questions on verbal because I was not pacing myself enough i.e. slowed down too much on RCs. Nonetheless.. I still get 710 Q50 V 35!!!!!! That's it, I am done with the GMAT for good. Thanks e-GMAT for the wonderful course. I highly recommend the course to non-natives.
