I enrolled for the e-GMAT verbal online and live sessions. Prior to joining e-GMAT, I was using MG and honestly the whole concept of prepositional phrases, SV agreement, LDR for pronouns, SV, modifiers among others was all Greek to me, and my approach was to “use my ears to look for a choice that sounded good," skim through the choices, look for similarities, and guess the answer. There was no strategy.
The e-GMAT course taught me a systematic approach for SC and that GMAT is not so much a test of grammar but that of meaning. The finite rule set approach is what made the course very beneficial. I improved my score from 27 to 37 and am now aiming for 40+ for my GMAT, which I will take in a month. But as, “Rome wasn’t built in day," neither is your GMAT score, e-GMAT will provide you with the tool kit, but in the end it’s all about practice.

All the best
Cheers

I always thought I was good at English. Verbal in GMAT is also English. Therefore, I thought I was good at GMAT verbal.
Which of the following will most likely weaken the author's conclusion mentioned above:
1. The author was high and blabberred anything.
2. The author is an engineer and generally engineers know nothing about English.
3. Thinking something about oneself does not trully make it a truth.
4. GMAT verbal is also written in English but is not neccesarily in English.
5. The author scored miserably in verbal last time he took his GMAT.

Well, what's the right answer guys? The point is verbal is entirely different from English. And I was shocked to see V28 the last time i gave the GMAT. I knew I had to look at this part of the exam from a different perspective. I started looking at some online courses that taught GMAT verbal in a way that is easier to comprehend and apply. That is how I bumped into e-GMAT verbal online course.

RC - No quick shortcuts from e-GMAT here. They want us to read properly and break down the passage into sentences. I learned that if I could focus on the subject and verb of each sentence, I undertood the passage more clearly. Yes, their approach takes time to absorb, but once you are comfortable with it, it becomes second nature. Before you realize it, you will be comprehending passages better and faster. Try it.

CR - I wish i could use this part of their course more aggressively. I did learn their prephrasing technique though. They ask us to think about the argument in our native language.

SC - This product is just amazing. I have been consistently scoring above 85% in SC. The SC part starts with the components of a basic sentence structure. I realized that once I had gone through their course, I could find more pearls from the Manhattan SC guide as well. I had read the Manhattan SC guide earlier, but could not grasp the advanced concepts. e-GMAT presented those concepts in a very easy way. That, I guess, is their motive too - to present SC concepts to non natives in a way the would understand well. Again, I recommend this product, even if one doesnt want to try RC and CR.

Hope my review helps others too. All the best for your GMAT.

Before e-GMAT, I performed horribly low on the verbal and really bad on the SC part. I used to get 26-29 in my mocks even after finishing entire OG. I knew there was something wrong.

Finally on a friend's recommendation, I registered for e-GMAT. The best thing about e-GMAT is that they have presentations which you can access anytime. Before and after each section, you have quizzes which tell you if you understood the concept well or if you need to go back.

I finally scored a 40 on the verbal in my actual GMAT exam (730 overall). Thank you e-GMAT!

I would recommend E-gmat to students who speak English as their second language. The course material seems to be designed from the ground up to cover all the basics that would be required to achieve a good score in GMAT.
The provided course material is very rich in content and easy to understand. The instructors are pretty knowledgeable and help you with your queries. The online assignments available on e-GMAT are a great tool to monitor your own progress. The good thing about the course is that it also allows you to use a grockit for practice. I have personally seen a lot of improvement in my sentence correction abilities by using the e-GMAT method and techniques. Before taking this course I would directly jump on to the answers after reviewing the question for a while but now I am spending much more time analyzing the question for its meaning first by breaking it down into appropriate components.
I haven’t taken the GMAT yet as I have a few sections that I need to go over, but I am sure e-GMAThas made a tremendous difference in my preparation for the GMAT.

I started preparing for GMAT almost a year back on my own and rushed to attempt my first test after 2 months of preparation. I scored 620 in my first attempt. My verbal score was very bad. I knew that I was lacking in the verbal concepts. I did some research and found out that e-GMAT will be the right option for me being the non-native speaker.

I signed up for the course and the first thing i downloaded was the Study Plan. That's the best thing you can have. This plan takes you through all the concepts from difficulty of level 1 to level 3. In the e-GMAT SC course, the instructor takes the effort to explain each and every concept in detail. Verbal live sessions are also very good and very flexible.

The e-GMAT team is awesome. Their support over email and forum is prompt and very good.

I am yet to attempt the GMAT again and hoping to score 700+ this time with a good verbal score.

In my 2.5 years of GMAT journey, I have never scored below 49 on Quant on any of the exams (mock as well as the real GMAT exam) and it was always verbal that was pulling my score down. This is why I decided to take up e-gmat classes as I read good reviews about its verbal course specific to non-native speakers.


I want to thank the e-gmat team for pulling up my verbal score from V30 to V36. The program is designed magnificently as it allows each person to progress at their own pace by giving them opportunities to attend multiple online sessions along with the practice questions avaialble offline. I signed up in January 2013 and planned to take the exam end of March but due to work commitments, I had to push my date to July. This is where the flexibility of this course really helped me as I was able to attend classes with the later batches.

I have to say that the SC workshops and the mock test that was recently conducted is a big boost to the preparation. I hope you guys continue to come up with such great ideas as it helps an individual in getting a reality check of where they stand with respect to their preparation.

I first registered with e-GMAT in Dec. 2012. I am a Non Native and my concepts on GMAT Grammar were very weak until I took the Verbal Online Course in Feb 2013.

While going through each and every concepts of the e-GMAT SC course, I gained confidence and my accuracy improved.

e-GMAT follows a very simple and structured approach in solving SC problems. This is called the Three Step Process. This is like a mantra for solving any GMAT SC problem. Initially it was difficult for me to follow the steps but, gradually, it has become part of my approach for each and every SC problem.

In each of SC concepts there is the pre-assessment quiz, then a very interactive concept file and finally post-concept quiz. There are three levels and one of the best attributes of the SC course is that at each level you solve OG-13 SC questions which are related to the concepts you have learned. By the end of the course you will also be completing your OG-13 SC.
In addition, you will find User Generated Exercise (UGE), which is having SC questions linked with various levels of the SC course, these questions are like real GMAT questions with a timer associated. Another great feature is concept Map, which tells you where you are weak and recommends areas along with your mastered concept.

Now coming to CR concepts, again e-GMAT has done a great job. You will find that the most feared questions in CR are Bold Face questions and once you go through the concept file of Bold Face question, you will find it to be easy. This is the strength of e-GMAT--they make things so simple to understand that the most difficult is also easy to solve.

Then comes their other mantra that is pre-thinking in CR. The pre-thinking in CR is the key to solving every problem and, as Rajat has said in many of his sessions, Pre-thinking is the muscle which grows with practice and time, so you will find the CR concepts with Pre-thinking application. This has not only helped me in improving accuracy but my timing has also improved. Once I did pre-thinking I did not have to go back to the question and read it again.

I am attaching my GMAT Club Test results, where you can see the huge improvement from V20 to V36 and this result was only because of e-GMAT.

I personally urge all Non - Natives to join e-GMAT Verbal Online Course and experience the difference.

I am planning to re-take GMAT and I am sure to break 700 this time.

If I am able to break through a score of 700, I will owe this sucess to e-GMAT.

Dear Friends,

I have recently joined Verbal Live Prep in May 2013 after subscribing to Verbal Online. My experience was great as this is the real application of the verbal concepts that you have learned from Verbal Online.

In Verbal Live Prep, the way we solve and further discuss on each and every question at length opens up many other concepts and you find that this is a Laboratory of your Verbal Concepts.

The e-GMAT team tries to answer each and every query raised by the participants and when you hear them answering those questions, your own concepts get polished.

Further, before each session there is pre-assessment and then the post assessment too. Recently e-GMAT has launched SC Workshop and Verbal Workshop where all the E-GMAT experts joined together take the session after solving the questions. This is something very unique and I salute the e-GMAT team for designing such a workshop. They have really put a lot of effort in designing the workshop and it has really come out great where lot of participants have benefitted from.

I strongly urge all the participants who have taken Verbal Online should also register to Verbal Live Prep.

I was so impressed by the amount of effort the e-GMAT team put up with throughout my GMAT preparation. Every month I would find one or more new articles from e-GMAT about improving my preparation level in verbal. The most difficult topics in verbal are so easily explained in e-GMAT that one would never feel unprepared in any aspect of GMAT verbal. I have yet to complete all the modules given in the e-GMAT verbal course but since I have started preparing, I feel a real change in my approach and accuracy while handling verbal questions.

Thanks e-GMAT Team !

e-Gmat is the No. 1 course available in the market for verbal preparation. I am saying No. 1 because I have used other "reputed and costly" courses during the last two years. In the e-GMAT course, the topics are arranged by levels, starting from basic to more advance. You can keep track of your preparation. The course includes short concept videos which you can watch any time. In addition to videos, you can attend weekend lectures. Strategy lectures were really helpful because I have experienced that even after many hours of preparation you won't be successful if you don't have a good strategy. Also, the e-Gmat staff is very helpful. The e-Gmat administrator Archana was kind enough to extend my membership for two months free of cost as I had to postpone my GMAT exam by two months.
