After struggling in the dark with my past two attempts, egmat finally helped me get through the 40 points barrier in verbal. As a non native speaker with above-average spoken skills, I was just double guessing my way through most of the GMAT verbal in my early days. None the less, egmat made it easier to spot what the GMAT was really testing and life was much more easier after that. The course really opens up the structure of the test and i finally started the appreciating the intricacies of the verbal section. There is a pattern to the madness.

Overall a great experience with egmat. Wish i had enrolled earlier and made life easier.

Had heard so much about this course. Pretty much lived up every bit of its hype. After hitting a wall, it helped me make that final leap in quant. Delivered dot on their 2 section score guarantee.

The best part was the ease of learning. No need to thrash diagrams and formulae over and over again. The lernaing process is very intuitive. Actually, I realized that learning online was more conducive to the GMAT testing scenario as there is no time to do your diagrams and calculations on the paper. Overall a brilliant experience and money well spent to make up for my despicable GPA.

If you are non native then dont think just act and go for e-gmat verbal course.This course is really effective when it comes to verbal part in GMAT Exam.Being a working professional having short of time,i was unable to take coaching classes during GMAT preparation.Then i came to know about e gmat,one of the best online course in the market for GMAT.
I subscribed to e-GMAT Verbal course few months back. The experience was really fabulous. All the basics are covered well in detail. I have learned a "Pre- thinking" method that is very helpful in Solving CR questions. Furthermore, the Pre assesment and post assesment quizmade me realise where i was missing in the concepts, and the detailed approach to solve the question helps a lot in understanding the approach well.
Moreover, when it comes to practice the questions " Scholaranium" is one of the best feature that I came across for verbal on line practice.The questions are very much of the same level as in actual GMAT exam. Solutions provided for the questions are in detail.I will surely recommend Verbal Online Course to all GMAT test takers,especially non natives.

Excellent Course to REALLY know the GMAT

I think there are 2 types of people that get 700+ score:
- They have the natural ability / are standardize test takers where they rely on what look right, sound right, and very good inferring/guessing skills.
- And there there are people like me. Everything sounds close to correct. There was too little time for the questions. I got stressed out during CAT and real test and plateau at 640s after several attempts.

I have been prepping for the GMAT for a very long time. I took the test 3 times and will write my 4th one very soon. I used e-GMAT at the beginning and did not utilize everything like I should. Then, I stopped the course and try several other courses (big name companies, lots of $$ into private tutor) with the hope that one of them would give me the 'secrete key' to achieve that 700 score.

Back about 6 months ago, I signed up for e-GMAT Verbal and Quant courses and realized that I should have stuck with them from the beginning. Now that I realize the values that the courses offered and I've been through others', I think I can provide pointers for those that about to prep.

***Values:
- SC course is extraordinary! The explanations of every single OG question is detailed and help students see clearly why each answer choice is right or wrong. If you think 2 answers are very close and can both be correct, e-gmat would show you why one of them is *obviously* the wrong choice. For e-gmat, there is NO close to correct. This is valuable especially for non-English speakers because we can approach the questions systematically and get the right answer. Unlike English speaking students, we don't have the 'ear' for right and wrong in Verbal (sometime, the ear doesn't help with difficult questions either)

- CR and RC courses are also very good. I think CR and RC need different approach than SC. I started out as not as strong but now these are my comfortable subjects. E-gmat did a good job with these 2 course but what work for me was to practice and practice (OG, LSAT, etc) until you're super comfortable.

- Quant: Oh man, its quant course is amazing! (this coming from an engineer) The explanations are excellent. The advice of spending more time up front for DS and infer to the real question really improve my DS ability. And again, it offers logic and approach so that you can apply in almost any questions. The questions bank includes more hard to very hard questions for you to practice as well.

***Set up:
- I like the course set up with the concepts, quizzes, lectures, apply to GMAT questions, and OG questions list. It gives me a framework to work through and make sure I learn the right thing, right amount, at the right time. If you're a technical person (I'm an engineer) you will enjoy this set up since you know exactly what you need to cover and how you will do it.

*** Customer Service:
- This company cust serv. is absolutely insane! I've contacted them several times, one to ask for a delay since I had a special project at work, and they always answered my questions within 24-48 hours. They're always willing to work with me and give me the best support. I've got strings of emails to prove it.

I hope you try e-gmat and really put your best effort forward. You'll know a whole lot more than other gmaters...and you most likely get a higher score as well.

The Best Material for Non Native Speakers

The E-Gmat material has been designed for non native speakers to answer each and every question using a set of rules and not intuitively. The 3 step process for solving SC questions is something I applied and found very helpful in my preparation.They also have a section to prepare you for IR and it is very comprehensive and enough to prepare you for the entire section.
Payal was really prompt and easy to reach out to in case of any issue.
I would highly recommend this course for someone who is currently trying to solve verbal questions intuitively. You will learn everything you need to and can face the GMAT with a lot of confidence.

The course is a good resource for getting your basics right by going through all the concepts. I did all the parts which were a problem area for me. Although they do start from levels which are really low, but its understandable when your audience is varied. The option of just going through the notes helps in this case. I used it to brush up all the areas once. The practice questions are also of decent level. I used the filters to create tests as per my need and i feel that helped me a lot. These guys are also very helpful when it comes to any questions or help you need. Their replies are prompt and accurate.

I gave my 1st GMAT in August'15. With a low score of 620 (Q50, V26) i was very disappointed and thought that I wont be able to get a decent score for a top B-School. But then I got to know about he E-GMAT verbal online course. I thought of giving it a shot. I purchased the course and finished it by Mid of Nov'15. The way E-GMAT has presented the video lessons is phenomenal. It gave me the perfect foundation for a good verbal score. As a result, I was able to get a 700 in my second attempt.
I recommend the verbal online course to anyone who wish to see a drastic improvement in the verbal score.

Course Manhattan Prep Live Online

Instructor Ryan Starr

Location Online

I cannot say enough GREAT things about the Manhattan Prep Course. From the teachers to the content, the course is definitely worth every penny spent (and more). With the GMAT exam being so long and covering a lot of material, Manhattan Prep does a great job of breaking down the sections. The teachers not only know the material inside and out, but they're also always willing to take extra time to help the individual student. As long as you are willing to put in the effort, the Manhattan Prep course will definitely pay off.

There are so many courses out there to take, and although Manhattan Prep doesn't guarantee, I still decided to take the course because of the structure, broken-down syllabus provided, and the availability of the course content after the course is completed. Manhattan Prep thoroughly screens potential instructors, which is comforting going into a course knowing your instructor is one of the best in the markets.

I took my first GMAT exam on 2nd June 2015 and managed to get a 610 (V28 and Q46). The score was not at all good to give me admission to any of the good colleges in the world. Hence I wanted to give me the exam properly, targeting to improve on my weak areas and needless to say that my knowledge in Verbal was deficient. I had taken tutions from Princeton but later realized that this wont help me much. Then one day I signed up for e-Gmat's trial class and was thoroughly impressed with both their content and way of teaching. Then without delay I took up e-Gmat Verbal Course and was thoroughly enjoying the learning. The way they have dealt with each and every minutest detail is just fantastic and one can really improve by applying their methods and knowledge. Now I'll again appear for the test on 20th APR 2016 and while am giving the GMAT Preps I see that I've improved from V28 to V37/38. I don't know about the natives much (their strength and weakness) but for non-natives this course is going to put a smile on your face. And Scholaranium will definitely help everyone.

Hope whoever is using this course gets benefited and my best wishes to everyone.

eGMAT's SC

I bought eGMAT's SC online prep. It helped me build a consistent process for working with SC questions. It helped me increase my confidence with my answer selections and as I progressed I was able to make my choices quicker. This then gave me more time for RC and CR. eGMAT's SC course is very structured and since I primarily learn by listening, this was exactly the thing I needed.

I then bought their Verbal Live Prep. Apart from helping with the CR and RC, one of the main take-aways was that they helped me understand the reasons for guessing and moving on during one of the live sessions. I didn't do justice to the course because I was going through some real long work days. But, they were kind enough to help me with an extension when I needed it for my last month of prep. I appreciate the passion with which the e-GMAT family supports the students to be successful with their time, and course material.
