After taking this course, I was able to raise my verbal score from 29 to 38. I am not finished yet; I plan to take the GMAT again and I am confident I can break 40 this time.

My favorite thing about SC is the emphasis on logic and meaning. One can know all the grammar rules in the world; but without a heavy emphasis on meaning and logic, it would be very hard to ace SC.

My favorite thing about CR is the emphasis on pre-thinking. Once pre-thinking becomes a habit, all the mental friction will go away. Mental friction is your biggest enemy, because it will increase the amount of time spent on questions.

This course is relatively inexpensive, but it would pay huge dividend.

I signed up for this course with some hesitation for how much this would help me. I was scoring roughly around 650-670 on practice tests before beginning the course, with my goal just to get to 700. But man, did the course exceed my expectations!

The course does a great job of laying out what you should expect for the test, which is great for those with little to no idea what's on the GMAT. It takes you through each of the various question types for each topic, breaking down various strategies to approach each one. This is ideal as not everyone learns the same, so you can find the method best suited to you and your strengths. Even if you are familiar with the GMAT or are scoring pretty high, the various tips and strategies will provide you with opportunities to bump up your score. Beyond just tips and strategies, it also provides the foundation of knowledge you will need to do well.

Stacey was a fantastic teacher who was both engaging and extremely patient. Even though you are part of a class, she makes the time to get to relate to each and every one of you and she is never to busy to help you out. She understands the concepts extremely well and delivers the class in an understandable and concise manner.

I am non native speaker and as with most of the non native speakers was struggling in improving my ability in the verbal section.
In quants i could easily score a 48-49 but in verbal always stuck in 30.
I tried improving on verbal by keeping an error log but with time it got cumbersome and was struggling to organize my preparation process.
Phew! then came Scholaranium to my rescue.
Egmat scholaranuim exactly provided me the platform to track my progress and improve upon my weak areas.
It provides an option to track your abilities areas wise thereby making it easier to focus on weak areas.
The content structure and the audio visual UI are also designed to make the learning easier.
Modifiers in SC and the prethinking concept in CR are very helpful in getting your core skills right. The probability that i get a modifier question right has greatly improved.
In addition to this they have free live sessions irrespective of the course taken which was also helpful to me.
Coming to the Cons,
There is no option yet to reattempt all the incorrect answers.
This is something that i see could be added as an extra feature.

i am yet to give my GMAT after takign this course but enrolling in this course has definitely fine tuned my preparation process.

I am planning to take GMAT exam on May 31 and have registered on e-gmat last year . I found verbal course of e-gmat and its format very effective . It has been designed into several categories , covering each topic strategically and placing several modules for practice after concept section. The videos were self-explanatory and the live sessions acted as an anchor to reinforce the important concepts and their application. I would recommend e-gmat to every serious aspirant if they are targeting a good score in GMAT.
e-GMAT is really an amazing course as it simplifies the most difficult of the topics and more importantly it helps build a strategy which I think is the key for the GMAT exam.

I've started my GMAT preparation in 2013. I took initial free CAT, and got very dissapointing 430. As many of you, I have a job, which makes it hard or sometimes impossible to keep up with preparation. It wasn't a surprise, that slacking on preparation led me to getting incredibly low 530 on actual GMAT in 2013. I belive it was Q39 and Verbal about 25 or so.
Then I forgot about the exam, again, because of my job.
I found E-Gmat in 2015. I've read many positive reviews of how the Verbal Course boosts the score, and brings a pretty enjoyable experience.
Well, I wasn't sure that I would be able to keep up with preparation, but I purchased Verblal Online anyway.
I covered Sentence Correction and most of Critical Reasoning parts. Then my job stepped in again, and I skipped Reading Comprehension.
In september 2015 I left the course until it expired.
Well, couple of days ago I decided to finally prepare for the exam.
I took initial free CAT and was very surprised with the Score of 620. I got Q41, which didn't really improve since I've never practiced math, and my Verbal score increased to V35 from some middle 20th!|
It's been 7 month since I stopped practicing with E-Gmat, but the knowledge that I received stayed with me for all this time. And didn't even study RC part!
I really enjoyed studying with E-Gmat, I am incredibly satisfied and surprised by the results that I got. I am surely taking full online E-Gmat course Q+V now for my final and I hope successful preparation for an actual GMAT.

For someone who've been struggling with SC as I did

I'm a non native. My first Gmat prep test was Q49, V28. You see, I'm quite good at Quant, but terrible at Verbal. A very first technique I learned in Verbal was split technique and I must say, that technique is not for someone like me who is also terrible at memorizing. I felt like I could never memorize enough grammar rules/ word usages... to be able ace this Verbal part. I frustratedly didn't know how I should go about this Verbal score. Then I watched a session on sentence's meaning of e-GMAT. This was an eye opening. I could solve some hard questions just based on sentence's meaning approach, and their 3 step process (Meaning analysis, Error Analysis, Options Analysis) I learned though the course makes SC seem more easier task to handle, and the important thing is their approach gives me confidence to tackle SC, I just go step by step in a structured many get to the correct answer choice. My accuracy now is >80%, I'm quite happy. If I want to boost my accuracy to about 90%, I'd know where to focus my time, thanks to their Scholarinium, a great tool to know where your strengths, your weaknesses, your takt time (you should definitely see their free strategy recording on this term). So you'll know you can confidently skips some questions and still get a high score.

I'm running out of time, I just can share my experience on SC now. But if you've been struggling in SC, you should give e-GMAT a try.

e-GMAT verbal prep offers a crisp mix of logic and rule-based teaching and it prepared me to answer the questions of sub 500 level as well as 700+ level without having to change the process. This helped me being structured in answering questions and saved precious moments which I could have lost if I didn't follow their step processes across SC, CR and RC.

While it took some time to get used to their processes, but once I mastered those, every single question became a cakewalk. I was able to increase by verbal score from 30 (in my first mock test) to 41 in my actual GMAT.

I would highly recommend Rajat, Payal and team to all the candidates out there, whether native or non-native.
