egmat verbal online course review

Course e-GMAT 6M Focus

Location Online

Being a non native English speaker, I took egmat's verbal online course to improve specifically on verbal section. The content of the course is very good. The SC section is exhaustive and explained in great detail. The practice tests in each module of SC,CR and RC fine tunes one's preparation. Though RC is my weakest area, the confidence that I got after going through the other sections of the course was tremendous. Supplement the course with additional practice sessions in Scholaranium and surely, one can aim for a high verbal score. Lastly, I want to emphasize that its a very good course for non natives and I strongly recommend candidates to take this course to succeed in gmat's verbal section.

Before Signing for E-GMAT, I was bit confused initially about the on - demand Course, whether my queries will be answered, how will be the responses to my queries whether the content will be able to really help me understand the course and improve my score.
Moreover, Before Attending E GMAT, I Attended a classroom program in Hyderabad, Which did nothing to my confidence and I was more or less at the same place with nothing gained from that program. But E-GMAT has done wonders to my confidence just because they Made Sentence correction more qualitative by presenting the In depth explanation of Many concepts, To Name few of them
• How Ed modifiers are formed
• Relative Pronoun Modifier Modifying Previous Noun or far away Noun
I think they are available for free, guys if you just read them once , these article will change the way you approach these types of question. Before this I have read Manhattan SC guide, Princeton Verbal books But the way concept is present in E Gmat is Phenomenal, They don't just tell you the concept but they detail it to the extent that you feel comfortable and Interesting.
Enough About the SC but the way CR and RC is explained in their verbal online course is also very good. They try to channelize your thinking process towards the correct and with more & more practise answers start becoming oblivious for CR and SC Questions
I Would Definitely Recommend E GMAT Verbal Online Course to anyone who is non native and looking to improve his GMAT score.
Thanks

After 2 unsuccessful attempts at crossing the 700 score mark.I scored V31 and V32 in my previous attempts. I decided to take a course for Verbal. But with the plethora of courses available I wasn't able to make up my mind regarding the courses.

I started self preperation as i wasn't able to decide. I leveraged GMAT club to look for answers to my queries. Although multiple users share their opinions about the answers, I found multiple contradictions in the way they applied rules .Apart from that this wasn't helping me with one of my majors concerns - Time Management.

However, I encountered explanations and articles from E-Gmat on GMAT Club. The explanations were not only structured but also put down with multiple examples. This greatly helped me understand the concepts with clarity. I was very impressed with the small sample of their teaching methodology.

I decided to enroll myself for the course after a month of self-preperation.

I loved e-gmat's teaching methodology. First we are explained the basic concepts and process of solving quetsions. Then we take a few questions to test our understanding. Then we are taken deeper into each question type and specific process to solve them. We are asked to test our understading at each stage of learning. This helped me ensure that I had a good understading of the concepts before moving on. At the end of each course we can take 5 miscelaneous assessment test with great quality of questions.

I was also able to pace myself as per my convinience as the entire course is online and provides multiple opportunities to attend the live sessions as well. The live sessions in particular were greatly helpful. They gave the opportunity to work on questions with an experts and helped to improve understanding.

But i have not come to best part of the course yet. THE SCHOLARANIUM and THE E-GMAT FORUM. Scholaranium provides over 600 questions with varied difficulty levels. We can take them either as timed sectional tests or as quizzes. Each test is scored and helps to keep track of our progress.

The E-GMAT Forum is also a great place to resolve any queries you may. Although the time for response may vary from 1 to 4 days, the responses are effective. Moreover, most of our queries are already answered.

One catch regarding the forum is that, we are only allowed to ask queries regarding official questions or E-GMAT questions. But in my experience, this methodology not only ensure that we solve reliable questions but also builds our faith in the E-GMAT process.

I was also given access to 5 "800 score tests" and "all gmat club tests". These two features along with Scholaranium and official guides gave me a huge question bank to apply and perfect the E-GMAT process. And by perfecting the process i was able to manage my time efficiently. In my previous attempts i was able to attempt only about 32 questions in the verbal section but by applying the E-GMAT process i was able to manage my time better and answer questions with greater confidence. I attempted 40 questions in the GMAT and guessed only 1 questions.

I definitely recommend E-GMAT to anyone looking to improve their Verbal score. I believe the course helped me overachieve with a 10 point increment in my verbal score and 1 point increment in my quant score (thanks to the gmat club tests).

e-GMAT - A saviour for Non-Native Speakers

I gave my GMAT once and got a score of 640 by preparing on my own by referring to Manhattan Review & Official Guides. As a non-native speaker(frm India) I sometimes didn't get the reason of why am I doing wrong and why an option is correct. I was just getting scores of 620-660 in mocks then. After giving my GMAT I understood that a real-teacher like course is needed to improve yourself. As a banker with transfers I really didn't think of going to a classroom program. That's when I chose e-GMAT Verbal Online. The course material covers everything that a non-native speaker would want to and covers all the Question ranges. The materials and the examples are top-class and will point at the basic concepts and how best to deal with the flaws in most of the questions so that your accuracy is maintained right from the first tutorial. The forum provides replies from the experts and they're very friendly. Now, after completing their course, I started attempting mocks and I see that I am getting somewhere between 720-750. I am giving my GMAT in 2 month's time and I hope to replicate the scores from my mocks. Thank you E-GMAT for increasing my confidence!

E Gmat provides you with many useful strategies to get more than 700 on the exam. Since I started studying with E Gmat, I am recommending it to all my friends. E gmat provides you with tough questions that let you learn the concepts of the real exam. Also, they give you detailed solutions of the official questions. For that reason, you can be sure that you will learn the concepts. Trust me, I have tried to study with other Gmat Prep Softwares, however, no one explains you the concepts as good as E Gmat does. I consider that E gmat is the best option for Non Natives Speakers.

Follow grammar rules not your ear when it comes to SC

The e-gmat verbal tutorials are excellent for non-native English speakers like me. The tutorials explain concepts in a simple and easy to grasp manner. For sentence correction I used to go with my ear i.e how the sentence would sound to me and would hover around the 94 percentile but e-gmat helped push my score to 99 percentile. The tutorial on Verb-ed and Verb-ing helped me especially as verbs were my Waterloo.
I stopped following my ear and strictly applied the grammar rules and lo and behold my score increased drastically. I feel e-gmat's sentence correction is very helpful especially for non-natives because the English we speak is very different from gmat English.

Course Magoosh Premium

Location Online

I'm a native speaker. Without any verbal practice I still got a V40. As with many other native speakers, our quant scores aren't very strong.

I wrote the GMAT for the first time and got a 690 which is identical to what I had on my GMAT prep tests.

After searching for a good score guarantee prep company Magoosh beat out the competition. The best part about going through all the Magoosh materials is that for every problem that you do there are video solutions. These solutions are in simple English and can be viewed up to 1.5 times in speed -- this means that every problem you do, you can see a video solution to the problem in under a minute. There wasn't a single problem that I did that I didn't understand why I got it incorrect after watching the videos.

Unfortunately, on test day, I didn't translate these efforts into much of a score improvement. My quant score improved by 4 points, my verbal by 2 points to q46 v42 and my new score was 720.

I'd still recommend this program to others because regardless of the program, on the final day it's just you and the test. My belief is that another prep company wouldn't have helped me do any better on the quant (I wanted 49+).

Also, I got my 99 refund back. Given the cost and the guarantee, even after looking at many alternatives, there wasn't anything that was close to Magoosh in overall value.

Review for the e-GMAT Verbal Online Course

I looked up the various available resources on GMAT preparation on gmatclub.com when I could not move my verbal score upwards after trying the different books on Sentence Correction and Critical Reasoning.

I realized that the online verbal course by e-GMAT differentiates itself from other online and offline course materials in the extensive list of topics covered and the practice tests at the end of each of those lessons. Knowledge about every possible concept is very important especially when you aim to score higher on the GMAT and the test tends to surprise you with a wide variety of questions as you progress. The video mode of learning ensures that you remain engaged throughout the learning process.

Overall, I would definitely recommend the verbal online course to my friends preparing for GMAT and are hoping to achieve a higher score.

Before I started to prepare for GMAT, I have a chance to join E-GMAT free strategy workshop, which Rajat share his opinions on how people should prepare for GMAT. This session is really useful and I decided to enrol for GMAT live prep(E-GMAT courses for both Verbal and Quant).

Before I started the course I decided to took the gmatprep again to gauge my ability, while I already took it 1 time 3years ago at that time I score a dismal 450 but at that time my English wasn't very good, I didn't understand what's DS want from me, etc. so I decided to took it again to check my current ability.I got 590 (Q46,V25) while this improve a lot from last practice test, I knew that the road to 700 for me is sill a long way to go.

So I started my preparation in verbal, I've found that E-GMAT strategy for CR and SC is really effective.The interactive class is a useful way you to help you learn and the practice questions give you opportunities to practice concepts you just learned. I've found that E-GMAT concept files and practice questions complement with OG was enough for me, and due to time constrain I didn't attend their workshop, so I can't comment on those.
