I have taken knewton, a instructor-lead verbal course in bangalore and e-gmat. E-gmat teaching methodology is unique and the best.

I have always liked the pictorial method of teaching and e-gmat teaches concepts representing them in a pictorial fashion. The concepts are concise and to the point. They have a great customer support. Compared to other Test Prep company, their course cost is reasonable.

I have researched a lot and finally took e-gmat after getting twice fooled by knewton and the local test prep company. E-gmat is value for money. If you are looking for something in verbal, e-gmat is the final destination.

I Joined the e-gmat Verbal Live Prep course few months ago. At that time i was really weak in the verbal SC and CR. This course really help me to improve my SC and CR. Now a days i am going through RC section.

I have a very busy schedule of work in my company, 10 to 12 hours, after that when i go to home i really don't want to read any thing, but this course is very visual and easy to understand. I scheduled my GMAT date on 22 April 2013. Now given some prep test and improved much in the verbal part..i really like to thanks to the e-gmat people for such a wonderful course.

I am almost done with the course, the SC and CR part is excellent.

I have purchased MGMAT in the past, I feel the e-gmat SC and CR strategy is bit different from MGMAT and better to understand. I read the MGMAT SC Guide thrice but still feel that i am missing some parts, but this course made my life easy.

I will give more details about my experience once i finished my exam...meanwhile i must say that if u are really weak in GMAT verbal, then try ur cent for this course...

Hello Guys,

I would like to share my opinion about the e-gmat course.

I bought the VERBAL LIVE PREP on Feb'13 and had 45 days to study before my GMAT test. On my first attempt I got 530 (Q39-V24) and I was really disappointed with my overall score, specially on verbal section. After doing all sections on E-gmat platform I could improve my score to 690(Q48-V37).

I'm from Brazil and the verbal section was really challenging to me because of difficult vocabulary and short timing to work on each question. It is not easy for a non-native speaker recognize the pattern used on GMAT verbal section and E-gmat platform help you on that. My learning sequence on E-Gmat platform was SC, RC, CR and Integrated Reasoning.

SC: The theory and examples used are very easy to understand and the way E-Gmat presents the content is very illustrative and facilitates memorization. It's is an excellent material. The only negative point is that they have questions solved for OG12th edition and since I bought the new OG13th edition this area was not so helpful to me since they don`t show the alternatives during the explanation.

CR: It is really great material that helps you to understand what the question wants you to recognize. After some time, when you read the passage, you start to recognize the type of question and to remember how the question look like. You can recognize a pattern among questions and improve speed and accuracy.

RC: It was the most difficult part to me. GMAT texts are very detailed and boring. When you start reading a passage, it is very easy to get lost in the middle and have to go back and read it again. In my point of view, there is no trick to get questions correct besides improve comprehension. I improved my comprehension skills watching E-gmat videos and solving many questions on Grockit website. I also spent a lot of time evaluating wrong answers.

IR: The concept videos are very good and give you a very good idea about different type of questions you can found on your GMAT test.

My overall review about e-gmat is very good and I strongly recommend it specially for non-native speakers. It will help you to improve the specific knowledge required on GMAT verbal section and you will not loose time reading many other materials.

The process-wise approach to attack the GMAT works better for the non native speakers like me. I have gone through the e-GMAT course module many times to get the process wired in me. First I thought that I am investing too much time in understanding the process and then applying it, but this investment of time seems paying me now in form of accuracy and time saving.

Though I don't have an official GMAT score to prove my point at this time but I can see the improvement while solving problems during my practice sessions.
The logical diagram to connect Premise and Conclusion dilutes the haunting CR problems and gets you to the right track of thinking with a clear understanding. You can really visualize the argument and its assumptions.

Thanks a lot e-GMAT.

I became an e-gmat SC customer, while I have already completed courses MGMAT (Self Guided Course) as well as GMATPill.com. Even though I completed the courses at those other two programs, which are pretty useful as well, but I have never felt as confident as I do now after completing SC course with Payal. I wish I would have tried this earlier in the process, it would definitely have saved me a lot of time. I would highly recommend this course to anyone whose fundamentals are not as strong as an avg. native speaker and who feels helpless when taking the traditional courses.

"I am a non English native speaker and preparing GMAT. I came across this course through beat the GMAT and GMAT club. I was having issues in SC and this course has helped me to organise my thoughts and select the correct answers quickly.

The team has designed this course in very simple manner which allowed me to learn quickly and apply easily. I feel the best feature of this course is the diagrammatic representations which helped me to retain the material and recall it easily. Another important feature is that it is divided into three parts (level 1, level2, and level2) with the content getting more detailed in each subsequent level.. The step by step progression increases confidence level . At the end of every section you have a diagnostic test which allows self assessment.

The verbal online course of E-gmat is an awesome choice for someone who is very busy and yet enthusiastic enough to study for GMAT in his free time.

The SC course is the best according to me !! it works from the very basic which helps even a person who is not familiar with grammer for a long time. The live sessions are also very lively and informative as i can say from my experience of free live sessions !!! Really gem of a course for non-natives verbal improvement :)

The CR course is helpful for improving the overall accuracy. The prethinking process rocks !! I just loved it.

e-gmat has played a huge role in improving my verbal scores. Iam a non native speaker and verbal on the gmat has been quite challenging. The process is streamlined , intuitive and does indeed cater to the needs of a non native speaker. I have tried numerous other gmat courses and apart from e-gmat nothing has helped me so far. Payal has done a good job in explaining some of the challenging topics in verbal such as modifiers and meaning based questions. The reading strategies in RC have also helped me tremendously. I only wish they had more sessions on RC :)

If you are a non-native English speaker and want to score higher in verbal then you are at the right place. This is what I can say about e-GMAT.

My verbal is showing continuous improvement after joining e-GMAT. All of the e-GMAT courses especially verbal live prep is awesome. I have become a true fan of their live prep course as, I believe, this course is really for those who are aiming more than 40 in verbal.

SC: Given the fact that all non-native speakers struggle in SC, this course is a game changer and perfect starting point for verbal. After doing the course my accuracy has improved form 60% to around 85% for medium level questions and around 80% for tough questions. The best part about the SC live prep is the good course content and the emphasis they (Payal wouldn’t be happy here as there is no antecedent for this pronoun) give on understanding the meaning of the sentence first. Additionally, by attending the live prep, you get lot of knowledge from the questions other attendees in the class ask.

CR: What to say. The pre-thinking concept is just working excellent for me. Initially I struggled to get my pre-thinking working, sometimes it was taking even 5 minutes to pre-think but eventually practicing few questions, especially assumptions questions, made the life easier for me. Again the practice questions in the live prep classes are carefully chosen and clear lot of doubts I had. Also, as I said above, having other attendees in the live prep course give us an idea about how many different ways we can pre-think about a particular question type.

RC: There are literally hundreds of strategies flowing around on GMAT social network but I have found e-GMAT’s RC strategies taught in RC course and verbal live prep course best among the lot. It has really helped improve my reading in RC.

I would highly recommend e-GMAT verbal live prep!!!

On 01/01/2012 I decided to give my gmat this year(New year resolution !!!).

Started with the first step of hunting for materials.I did not feel the need for an online course then.
I brought all the MGMAT guides after searching through the forums.Got the books by the end of Jan and started studying for the exam.

I was not studying diligently cos of my hectic work schedule. I studied for 4 hours on weekends.The MGMAT guides were good but I was not able to push up verbal score beyond 32.

I realized that I needed some help in the verbal area apart from just learning from the books.
I was not spending enough time to study so I felt a proper online course would help me keep the pace.After searching thru the forums I zeroed in on the E-gmat course based on the reviews.Franky, I also did not want to burn a hole in my pocket.

I registered for the course in April.I must admit I was a bit skeptical initially but after attending my first online session I gave myself a pat.

Their approach for SC is by far the most effective and easiest I have ever seen.
Their pre-thinking approach for CR helped me to improve my timing.I was able to answer most of the CR questions a lot faster(40%) than before.
Initially their approach could seem a little time consuming,but once u get the hang of it u just keep going.

They clearly mention the pre-requisite concepts and articles that have to completed before attending an online session.I made sure to complete the pre-requisites mentioned and also a few OG questions before the session.This kind of helped me to understand the concepts better and also fine tune my approach.More than anything else the sessions gave me a structured approach and a clear schedule for my preparation.

Payal's RC sessions are really great.The way she brought SC into an RC session was really wonderful.
I am now constantly scoring around 38-40(A huge improvement for me !!!) in my mock tests.
I am planning to give my GMAT next month, and hope I reach my target score of 41 before that.

Overall I would say the course is clean-cut and a great value for money. Kudos to the team !!
