I used the e-GMAT verbal online course and was able to score a 750 (Q-50, V-40, IR-8). The e-GMAT course is methodical and very scientific. It made the whole process of learning objective and therefore leave very little scope for mistakes. I had tried to learn all the rules for SC correction but that was an unnecessary overkill. The course gave me direction and I was able to channel my time efficiently. The videos are clear and concise and the quiz at the end of each videos hammers the concept into your brain.

I would highly recommend this course to anyone reading this review. The least you could do is buy the SC and IR course. A 200$ investment in this course will definitely benefit you and I am sure with this course coupled with your hard work, you will be able to achieve a high score.

And a special mention needs to be given to Rajat and his team. They always responded within 24 hours to my mails and addressed my queries in a timely manner.

The only major drawback I could find with this course is the glitches in the software.

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 gave my GMAT first attempt on 3/12/13 and got a disappointing score of 500(47Q,13V).

With that score I understood that I needed to work on Verbal. I went through all the forums and GMAT club reviews to find out the best online coaching for verbal.
After going through all the reviews I found out that e-GMAT was the best course. I went through free trails and realized that it was the best for me.

I went through all the sessions post assessment quizzes and attended workshops. I am happy to say that now I am at V32 level. e-GMAT helped to reach 32 from a very low score of 13.

Online tutorials, workshops, and the course's detailed explanations are very helpful.

I am thankful to entire e-GMAT team.

E-GMAT is the most complete course for verbal GMAT, I guess that many people agree this is true.

Having the necessary tools for the non native to became much more accustomed with the test format and nuances, this small start-up company has done a surprisingly excellent job with all the verbal theory via videos (and practice exercises)

The support team is excellent and very kind and friendly, answering every email within hours, clarifying doubts or technical issues.

Though I have not used the course extensively, Now I'm planning to attack its huge data best of very well written SC questions (we know that there is not good unofficial SC material, well E-GMAT does a very good gob in that).

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.

Being a person who has studied with an English native speaker teacher and has done a self-studying course, I find the e-GMAT verbal online course a great source of studying, especially for non-native speakers like me.

I think you can consider the e-GMAT verbal course as a complement, since every concept is explained in full detail and you are given quizzes at the beginning and the end of every 'chapter', that help you identify your weaknesses and strengths.

I said as a complement, since I think it is important to have an instructor and do a lot of extra practicing to aim for a high verbal score. I am pretty sure you can also have an instructor in e-GMAT, I just haven't tried any live sessions, but I bet they work.

As someone told me, to reach a good score on the verbal section you must practice, practice and practice.

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.
