e-GMAT is one of the best courses for Verbal, in general and SC, in particular out there. In my first attempt, I was completely clueless about the kind of rules that go into solving an SC question. It was only when I took the e-gmat course, the second time around, did I understand the nuances involved in solving an SC question. It covers almost everything that you can possibly be tested on. In fact, I was confidently able to answer all the SC questions that appeared on the main day.

The scholaranium is also a great platform to practice questions on. In fact, the e-gmat questions are really close in structure to the official questions, something that I found lacking in a few other GMAT courses. This really helps in building a strong base to answer questions on the main day.

If anyone is struggling with SC at the moment, I would definitely recommend taking up the e-gmat course.

The course is incredible. The foundational knowledge that you gain on both sections is immense

This is absolutely the only resource you need to score extremely high on the GMAT. I scored a 740 on a 'bad' day I feel.

They have done a tremendous job with this course. I feel there I could have benefitted from more Verbal Chapter tests especially on Sentence Correction but this wasn't a super big deal once I started doing practice tests and a bit of OG prep

Scott, Marty and Jeff are extremely responsive and appear to be genuinely good people. I would strongly endorse this course, and I am not one who normally does things like this online

I started with my GMAT Journey in January of 2021. Since I was in the final year of college and had sometime on my hands, I decided to give gmat a shot. I started my preparation by purchasing the official guides, and I started solving some questions from these guides. After a few months I realised that my preparation did not have any formal structure and that I was going around in circles. This was in the November of 2021. I had taken 5 Manhattan Mocks and was scoring in the range of 620-640. I realised that I was desperately in need of a structured preparation plan. I reached out to the egmat team and got on a call with Manas Sadana to discuss my problems. He guided me through the details of the egmat plan and I really liked the overall program structure and processes. I decided to enrol.

I started off with Sentence Correction and went on to Quant and finished the course with CR and RC. With EGMAT, every sub topic has a structural improvement plan to guide students with different level of abilities- if I was strong in Geometry, the AI driven insights would guide me in a way that I only had to study limited content. This helped me save time in my preparation and focus only on my weak areas and keep working towards improvement. After completing the course, I would undergo the process of cementing to ensure that I hit my target abilities in each subsection. Taking these quizzes would enable me to deal with GMAT like questions and strengthen my process abilities. In each question, the course provides the students with forum posts related to the doubts and issues faced by the students. This would allow me to resolve my doubts and also strengthen my conceptual understanding. I could also post fresh doubts that would get resolved within 2-3 business days by the egmat team. The mentors for Verbal- including Harsha, Kanupriya, Stacey, Shraddha would provide excellent support on the forum. On the quant side also we had Bikramjit, Krishna and several others who would provide detailed solutions to each problem.

Coming to the mock stage- I gave 6 mocks before sitting for the exam over a time period of 1 month (I gave weekly mocks). During this phase, I was assigned a mentor to guide me through my preparation - Kanupriya Sharma. The mock phase is one of the most important stages of preparation and having Kanupriya’s guidance every step of the way helped me structure my improvement plan and work on my weak areas after doing a detailed mock analysis. I would take a mock on the weekend and Kanupriya would help me put together an improvement plan that I could work on during the week before my next mock. I was scoring 710-720 in most of my mocks. However, 4 days before the main exam I scored a 560 in Official Mock 6. I became extremely stressed upon seeing such a drop in my score but Kanupriya guided me and helped me work on a small improvement plan in the last 2 days of my preparation. Her support really helped me regain my confidence and I was able to ensure that I remain calm enough to make it through till the exam day. To regain my confidence, Kanupriya suggested that I take a final mock 2 days before the exam. I scored a 720 in this mock. I was able to regain some level of calm and composure upon seeing this score.

Exam Day- I had an 8 am slot at the Pearson Noida exam centre. I reached there in time and overall had a smooth exam experience. I ended up with a 710 (Q51,V34,IR-6,AWA-5.5).

Great course! GMATWhiz helped me break free of a score plateau by providing really personalised support. From Day 1, I was assigned a mentor to help me plan and guide my end-to-end preparation. Shreyyash was extremely helpful and always gave me honest and genuine advice. Where necessary, he was candid and encouraging and never failed to push me to achieve my true potential.

GMATWhiz especially prides itself on its Verbal course, and I can vouch for the quality of its course. Quality of CR and SC videos are amazing, and while the RC questions are harder than official questions, the RC course helps you develop a strong foundation to tackle 700+ level questions on the exam. I also took a couple of tutoring sessions with Sunita ma'am, who was able to help me identify my problem areas quickly and worked through remediation plans with me during the session to help me plug my gaps. I cannot thank her enough!

For those wanting to get a sense of GMATWhiz's quality, look no further than their recorded webinars on their YouTube channel.

Target Test Prep was exactly what I needed to improve my GMAT score! In my first GMAT attempt, I got a score of 720 -- I did better in Verbal than I had hoped, but did not do well in Quant primarily due to bad time management.

After some research, I signed up for Target Test Prep and it helped me a lot in specific strategies for quant questions. Often times, there are efficient ways to solve quant problems that a lot of test-takers are not familiar with. TTP goes in depth about not only the strategies, but the concepts behind the strategies, which really came in handy test day.

TTP also has a large question bank, with designated questions as "Easy", "Medium", "Hard", and analytics that give you a good idea of which question types & difficulties you could improve on.
Overall, would definitely recommend!

To prepare for the GMAT I knew that I had to focus on Verbal side, because my math was already strong. I used one of the already well-known platforms and prepared for about 6 weeks. I got a 700 Q49 and V35. After all that preparation my verbal was still weak, and I knew it because I wasn’t feeling confident when answering the questions. I started to explore other options, talking to friends and reading reviews. Many people pointed me out to E-GMAT, especially for the verbal section.
When I wrote to them describing my situation and my need to improve in Verbal, within a couple of hours someone wrote me back proposing to have a Zoom call, stating that I needed a specialized plan to achieve my target score. I was already overwhelmed; I was used to the typical bot e-mails from the other platforms that do nothing but get you on your nerves, because you know they ain’t made for you. After having the Zoom call with the E-GMAT expert, we looked at my ESR and went on with a specialized plan for me. I started right away with the SC module.
The SC module is the best course that I could find for GMAT…by FAR. It is so well designed to help you tackle SC questions. I barely made any mistakes after doing the course and was feeling 200% confident. The meaning approach method is the KEY. Meaning is everything in SC, I am telling you this from experience. On my first attempt, after reading option A, I went directly looking for splits; that is not the right way. If you get the meaning right, then the rest comes alone. Therefore, I was feeling ready to go for the GMAT again and starting taking mock exams that the platform offers you. Since I was still struggling with CR and RC, I wasn’t getting to my target score. It was there when Payal, co-founder of E-GMAT, wrote to me personally. She is so deeply committed with the students of E-GMAT that she does a routine audit of student progression. She noticed that though I was doing some things right, I wasn’t getting other things right and gave me specific instructions on how to proceed with my hyper-specific study plan. Payal then assigned me to Rida, one of the experts from E-GMAT. Rida really helped me plan everything. She gave me insights into my performances based on my Scholoranium performances. She continuously helped me create a plan to improve my weak areas until I was finally ready to move on. Overall, I had a wonderful experience with Rida and I would really recommend her.
I then continued with the CR course, and although it does not have many concepts to master, the pre-thinking approach used by E-GMAT really helped me master CR. It helped me understand the importance of classifying the arguments into conclusions and premises and pre-think all the possible approaches to work on it. I then finished the verbal section with the RC course, which is centered around really getting the meaning of the passage, by connecting sentences and inferring what the authors intends to say, emphasizing not to read fast or skip-read, but take your time to understand the passage. In the end, it takes you less time because you don’t have to come back to the passage for every question.
Finally, I would also give a 100% vow for the Scholaranium platform and question bank. It includes detailed analytics on sub-sections that make it so easy to identify your weak and strong areas. Scholaranium also includes 5 mocks, which are almost the same to the real exam (and I’ve tried many free mocks from different sources, all have flaws and do not resemble the real exam).
Summing up, having tried other platforms, E-GMAT is the very best among the market. If I were you, I wouldn’t doubt a second about choosing it, especially if you are struggling in Verbal.

The course is very helpful for non-native speakers like me. I could understand all the basic concepts required for tackling verbal questions. The meaning based approach for SC questions helped me a lot.Only knowledge of grammar is not enough to face the sc questions.Pre-think strategy for CR is very very helpful. The question back they prepared is also very good for preparing for the real thing.It's analytics is all we need to assess ourselves on where we are lagging and guides us we need to go back to learning phase. It is very intuitive and much needed if we don't know where is the specific lagging in Verbal section.

I signed up with GMAT Ninja after completing a two month self-study course, three OG practice exams, and my first official GMAT attempt. I scored a 660 (V45, Q36) on my first official attempt before tutoring began. As a side note, the highest of my first three practice exam scores was a 630.

Once signed up with GMAT Ninja, I was tutored by Bransen for the next two months. Bransen was great to work with. He helped me to understand and fix my bad habits. Most of my tutoring with Bransen was focused on Quant. After two months, I took the test again and scored another 660, but this time it was a V38 and Q43. My Quant definitely improved, which was my main goal going into my tutoring sessions. I knew my lower Verbal score was a result of my lack of discipline during the test, so I scheduled my third attempt for a month later hoping to score a little higher overall. I knew if I followed Bransen's advice with Quant that I could at least match my last Quant score. I also knew if I eliminated dumb mistakes with Verbal I could get it back up close to a V45. After a month of light study, I took the test again and to my surprise I scored a 760 (V51, Q45). Bransen was instrumental in me achieving this score. His voice was always in my head as I prepped for my last attempt. It was money well spent to get advice and coaching that I couldn't get from a self-study prep course. Bransen even gave me some tips via email after our tutoring sessions had ended. I'd recommend GMAT Ninja to anyone who feels stuck or discouraged with their GMAT scores.

I absolutely loved taking my 9-week Live Online GMAT course with Jamie. Not only was she a fantastic explainer but she also made the classes very interactive and enjoyable. I genuinely looked forward to them in the midst of a busy work week.

Jamie was able to break down complex concepts into simple steps that were easy to follow. This was particularly beneficial for me in Quant as I come from a psychology background, so I hadn't dealt with numbers for years. There's no other way to put it except that her strategies just made sense - and if they didn't, she made sure to explain again until the entire class got them. She even taught us multiple methods to answer the same question so students could choose those they were most comfortable with.

Jamie also was a great motivator and instilled confidence in me and my peers. I remember I wasn't happy with the results of a couple of my practice tests and she was extremely supportive and empathetic. She even live analyzed one of these tests during class, which was very helpful for both me and my peers. She had such strong faith that each of us would do incredibly well and that confidence rubbed off on us.

Overall, I improved 90 points from a 580 to a 670 and I have just accepted an offer to Said Business School (Oxford University)! I am still in touch with Jamie until today and I will always remember what an incredible experience taking her class was. I highly recommend anyone who wants to improve their GMAT score and have fun while doing so to take her course - you'll thank me later!

After going through multiple resources and talking to multiple test-takers about which course should I use to prepare for my GMAT, I ended up opting for Experts' Global Complete GMAT Prep Online course. Needless to say, the course is probably the most comprehensive one out there, beyond which you would ideally not need anything else to prepare for the GMAT. It is self-paced which suits working professionals like me (however my advice would be to stick to their 12-week prep plan which is present on EG's website). The best part about the course is the video solutions to all the practice questions and well as questions from mock which leaves no room for confusion and keeps building up on the concepts learned during the concept sessions. Would recommend it to everyone who are planning to take their GMAT any time soon.
