I was having difficulty in GMAT Verbal until I came across the Verbal live prep program. This is an excellent course and it is very well structured.
The live prep videos help strengthen concepts learnt through the class videos.
The concepts taught in CR provide a thorough structure towards approaching CR questions. The course lays out a detailed strategy for each question type in CR.
Of great emphasis in the CR component is Pre-thinking. The course teaches you how to prethink answers before looking at the answer choices - a vital component of CR.
I highly recommend this course to anyone who is weak in GMAT verbal.

I switched to the e-GMAT Verbal Online course after trying a variety of preparatory material. The course material is segmented by concepts in Sentence Correction, Critical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension. The course provides a methodical but effective framework to address the Verbal section. Though application of the framework is time consuming initially, it does result in measurable improvement. During this phase, it's important to trust the process and your abilities.

The Scholaranium module is a great addition to the course that provides an effective to track progress and square in on weak areas. Overall, I would recommend this course to anyone that need to improve their GMAT Verbal Skills.

The e-gmat verbal online course is a must attend course for people not able to score in verbal portion. My score improved from 33 to 37 in a period of 2 months only. The course helps to clarify basic doubts in the mind which ultimately results in better score in SC & help in even reading RC passages with a better clarity. The course is real easy to understand and I am very satisfied with the product. I will suggest the same to anyone struggling in verbal. This course can definitely help to improve score by atleast 50 marks if one is stuck in 600 range and that to because of verbal.

I thank eGmat for preparing a wonderful learning experience for GMAT Verbal.
Learning Verbal from eGmat has changed the way I approach Verbal questions.
I improved from a V25 to V34 after learning Verbal from eGMAT's Verbal Online.

I considered SC to be my strong area until I came through this course. The learnings that eGMAT gave me for SC were invaluable, and ensured that both my accuracy and percentile score for SC were consistently above 85%.

Whilst taking GMAT on my first attempt, I had not idea about how to crack CR questions. I relied on random techniques, achieving low accuracy, but eGMAT's CR course changed the way I approached CR questions. I learnt the importance of pre-thinking - how to think and what to think. It meant that I already knew the scope of the answer and at times even the content of the answer without even looking at the options.

eGMAT's methodology to approach and answer RC passages is the best that I came across. I learnt the right approach and cracked the toughest questions across different passages available in practice quizzes and egmat's scholoranium. If someone wants to learn the way to crack RC, eGMAT's RC course is the best option available.

I had the confidence to score a 38-40 in GMAT in Verbal after I had completed the eGMAT's Verbal course. I was a li'l unfortunate that no one suggested me to opt for eGmat to crack the exam when I started with my GMAT preparations. I will recommend my friends and anyone else to opt for eGMAT's verbal courses, if you wish to crack the GMAT.
Thank you eGmat.

Before eGMAT, I used several prep materials (forums + MGMAT guides), but I got a true help from the eGMAT quant course.
I liked the design and the structure, and all the support materials (email, forum and the learning platform Scholaranium).

It focuses on the concepts that are sufficient to master the topics, and you can clearly quantify your understanding on the section with pre assessment and post assessment tests.

There was a considerable improvement on my preparation. I hope that this review can be helpful to decide your preparation course. I strongly recommend this course for people with ambition of high scores on GMAT.

Egmat’s Quant Live Prep offers a very simple format. They’ve broken down the content in their concept files to such granular level, that you’re actually reminded of your 10th grade maths classroom sessions! But that’s the best part of egmat. It explains the concepts in a lot of detail, rounding up each concept file with a list of key approaches to remember under each topic.
Each topic starts with a diagnostic test to help you assess your existing competency, followed by the concept file. This is immediately followed by a series of practice questions that push you to apply these concepts then and there before you forget and help cement what you’ve just learned.
With each short test, the target score is mentioned, so you know with a particular score where you stand and what more you need to work on. Egmat seems to have thought through the entire course from a student’s perspective, highlighting the common mistakes test-takers make and simplifying the concepts they struggle with. Definitely one of the best Prep courses available for GMAT quant!

I've been trying for some months to find a strategy to prepare for GMAT verbal. My first attempt was to follow the explanations on the official guide, but I wasn't able to define a clear approach to verbal questions.

After reviewing all the online possibilities, I finally decided to go for eGMAT. The materials and the examples of the course are of high quality, and the live classes on the weekends are really useful to better understand concepts and clarify doubts.

If you have troubles on the verbal part and if you are a non native speaker, I recommend to take up the eGMAT Verbal course, you won't be disappointed.

I am a low 700 GMATer, and have picked up the GMAT again to push my score to the 750 range. In my last attempt I had used e-GMAT for SC and had my verbal score go up from V36 to V40 (my de-brief can be found on gmatclub). To push above V40, this time around I am using the entire e-GMAT Verbal Online course. I found it to be the most effective of the resources I picked up, and wanted to share some of its key features.

1. Focus on right processes:-
You need to approach each verbal question type in a systematic manner. Developing the approach is the 1st step. Repeating it to the point of internalizing it is the more difficult step. This was probably the single-most important difference in my V40 attempt. I had used the e-GMAT approach to solving SC questions, and had my accuracy go up. Building an ‘approach process’ has helped me improve my RC and CR accuracy (I am weakest in CR, and have seen my accuracy go up from ~50% - 70+%). e-GMAT does a great job of breaking down the process and helping you understand it (the focus on the right process is there throughout – right from e-GMAT’s information session to solutions of practice questions – they highlight the importance of processes really well).

2. Quality over Quantity:
This is something that I did not pay attention to in my 1st attempt, and something that made a huge difference in the 2nd time. For eg:- In my 1st attempt, I focused on ‘bulk practising’. I would practise 20 questions of a concept that I was fairly good in at. Getting these right made me feel good about my practise. I thus neglected my weaker areas. In my 2nd attempt, I spent more time with ‘verbs and tenses’ and other weaker concepts. I found e-GMAT’s SC course to be particularly effective because each question was testing a ‘concept’. I would thus be forced to learn a concept, as without this I cannot get it right. This was very important, and the course does a great job of allowing you to zero down on your weakest areas exactly.

3. Understanding the verbal section:
In my 1st attempt, I never spent too much time understanding the exam. I thus went in with many misconceptions – Doing section A vs section B in Verbal is going to be more effective. RC will have the toughest questions while SC will have the weakest questions. Etc. – the list was huge. In my 2nd attempt, I was able to get a lot of these misconceptions clarified, and e-GMAT’s strategy sessions and verbal lessons do a great job at de-mystifying the exam. For example: e-GMAT’s strategy session has this brilliant section on ‘what is the impact of getting the 1st couple of questions right vs getting them incorrect’. Knowing these potholes is imperative if you are going to score high on verbal. e-GMAT does a fantastic job of helping understand what is being tested, why is it being tested, and how should you approach it.

I would highly recommend e-GMAT if you are serious about touching a high verbal score.

I have signed up for e-GMAT’s Quant live prep, and wanted to share some key differences that I have found. I am a re-taker, and got the same Quant score in my 2 attempts. I found my quant prep to be stagnating, and have found the e-GMAT Quant prep to be much more insightful.

The questions are based purely around concepts. I found that a lot of questions I did from other sources (including OG ones) could be solved by hook or crook even if you did not know the tested concept (by substituting numbers for eg.). This was bad for practice, as during the actual exam, I was going in with a weak concept that I certainly would get wrong if tested on it. e-GMAT Quant prep does not allow me to use this short-cut. This is so important.

Quant Scholaranium is such a neat ‘focused’ tool. The style is great. Explanations of questions are simple to understand. I am learning different ways to ways to solve each questions. Probably the most helpful bit is that it is very clearly bifurcated with tags (topics, difficulty level, PS/DS, etc.). Thus earlier while I had a rough sense that ‘remainders’ is a weak concept, now through Scholaranium I know exactly that even in ‘remainders’, DS XYZ is my weak area. The analytics dashboard is also really good, as it tells me exactly how I have progressed.

I am very happy with the progress I am making (finally) on the Quant portion using e-GMAT’s course/processes, and am now feeling much more confident of raising my Quant score.

I studied for approximately two months before I took the test the first time. I used Manhattan prep books, OG15, Math and Verbal OGs, and Aristotle Sentence Correction. I studied probably 3 to 4 hours a day for two months straight and could only seem to increase my score by 20 points on my first GMAT from my practice tests.

I then switched gears and ordered the Magoosh Premium Prep. I went through almost all the videos and about 1/3 of the practice problems. It seemed to provide the missing key to unlock a great score. I went from a 660 on my first test to a 740 on my second test. I think Magoosh tied together all the info I had learned and was a great review to take the test the second time.

Improvements that could be made:
-Be able to download videos or preload them some how - I travel a lot for work and had lots of time on my hands but no internet access while on the plane.
-Percentage complete of video lessons/minutes remaining in each section
