I came across E-GMAT when I was reviewing various courses. It appeared to me that E-GMAt is the best option for non-natives. Before I signed up, I attended a couple of free sessions by Payal and Rajat. After attending these sessions and knowing their course fee, I was 100% sure to enroll for E-GMAT.

I have started learning various concepts of SC and found that it is much better than Manhattan SC in terms of clarification and description. After each lesson, you have to go through a quiz session to review your learning. It provides you rules but focus more on application of these rules. These aspects were very useful to me.

The course structure for SC is very practical and provides an opportunity to judge your level of learning. The course can be used at your own pace, I was traveling a lot early this year therefore unable to attend online sessions, however, recordings were available and the team was very helpful in answering any question I had. I have seen a drastic improvement in my verbal accuracy. I am hoping to have my exam in the next few weeks and my target is to reach 750.

I am thrilled to report that I scored 740 (Q48, V42). I am your average Joe (Jolie) and I believe that, if I can score 700+, then most people can.

At the beginning, the exam seemed to be very difficult. I scored a sore 530 on my first mock – Kaplan free test. The worst part was I scored a mere 23 on verbal. I used to think that with my convent education and a degree in economics, verbal would be my strength but the test told me otherwise. At this time, all I could hope for was to get close to 700. 740 seemed out of question.

Preparation - books and materials
I started off my preparation with the MGMAT books. I read the Number properties, Equations & Inequalities and word translations for quant and the SC, CR & RC books for Verbal. On Verbal, the SC book was quite good but I found the CR and RC books to be average. 2 months into my prep, I was already hitting 630s on the MGMAT exams.

At this time, I decided that I needed a prep course to boost my verbal. After considering Vertias, MGMAT and Kaplan, I decided on e-GMAT’s live course because of its focus on verbal. This course took my preparation to the next level. The SC concepts that I learned through MGMAT were crystal clear after going through this course. Two other things helped me a lot on SC. Firstly the fact that the course is very heavy on application. There are these application files that don’t teach you anything but to apply what you have learned. Secondly, they have this OG solutions video course that is awesome. The downside is that such solutions are only available for SC and not for CR.

The CR course when combined with live sessions is really good too. It helped me weave through the logic of arguments and provided me an approach for most CR questions types. My accuracy just shot up. I would definitely recommend this course if you need help on verbal. This course played a major role in improving my verbal from 30 to 42.

I gave my GMAT an year back and scored a decent 750 (Q50, V41). This course helped me improve from V32 to V41. I had read multiple books (Kaplan and MGMAT series) but could not push my mock scores beyond V32 - 60 percentile, clearly not acceptable. Desperate for improvement I looked for help. I found two companies that fit my budget – GMATPill and e-GMAT. After asking people around, I went for e-GMAT (thanks to Vinnik for recommendation). They teach SC using logic, something that came very intuitively to me. I knew most of the rules but was not aware of the logic behind those. Once you understand those, applying them became a lot easier. This helped me improve. SC became fun.

In CR, the Prethinking approach helped a lot in improving accuracy for more difficult questions.

Overall, the course gave me much more structured approach towards my prep. Overall, the course provided me with a lot more clarity. Check it out if you need help on Verbal.

Much easier and more effective than reading a book, I would recommend this course to those looking for serious improvement on verbal.

I tried the e-GMAT course after having (or at least tried to) go through books.

e-GMAT courses - As a working professional, I found that the online resources are much better. I never thought I would say this, even after sitting in front of a computer for the better part of the day however they are much more tolerable on weekdays and one can easily spend 90 minutes on them. The egmat courses are really nice. Their SC meaning based approach does a much better job of tackling SC than MGMAT does. You retain much more as well. Prethinking and Bold Face in CR is very good too. For RC, this is the first real course that taught something. Overall, the live sessions compliment the leanings in the course very well.


In addition, I also looked at economist GMAT and Grockit. The both have a number of practice questions. Although the explanations in Economist GMAT were better, Grockit was free for me and complemented the e-GMAT course well.

One of the downside of online resources is that they don't work well on Tablets. Hence, you cant take them outside.

The best thing that I liked about this course is focus on fundamentals. It did not teach me tricks. After going through the course, I was able to solve most official questions easily. Moreover, I was confident of my answers in GMAT Prep question pack 1 - something which I was not after going through the MGMAT books.

When I started my preparation ,I was looking at different courses specifically for Verbal.
I found the e-Gmat course which is one of the good investment I have done for the preparation.
So far, I have used only SC course. Sentence correction course provides a an excellent approach to tackle the SC questions and the Instructor Shraddha is a fantastic.

Online SC course complemented with live sessions is THE BEST course. Breaking the sentences into smaller and logic groups sounds initially hard but it greatly helps in understanding the meaning and accuracy. I hope e-Gmat other courses will also be as good as SC. I am excited to start my RC sessions in coming weeks.

Anyone who is having a bit of trouble in understanding long and complex SC problems then go for e-Gmat course...!

“I used the e-GMAT course and was able to score 730 (Q48, V44). I took e-GMAT’s Verbal Live course and e-gmat was a big contributor to this significant increase in my verbal score. Your SC live sessions helped me a lot. Like most others, I was one of the rebellious ones who had doubts about the approach e-GMAT suggested. I was concerned that the approach will take lot of time but once I got used to the 3 step method, I could complete the answers in less than 2 mines - as you have been saying all along.

I also need to mention about the RC tutorials. The detailed analysis of all the answer choices, including the wrong answer choice patterns was a GREAT help.

I have tired both VERITAS and Manhattan course, the two most expensive and supposedly the best courses available but didn’t the score I expected. Ultimately, help came from the lesser known courses such as yours and Grockit. One thing is for sure, e-gmat's RC course is one of the best we have in the market at the moment. Thanks e-GMAT. Especially Payal. You are truely amazing. It really shows that you want us to do well”

Dear Friends,

E-Gmat is a game changer in the field of GMAT verbal preparation by its innovative ideas and scientific approaches. I have followed several books and took other online courses for my GMAT exam. But I was not satisfied with my results. E-Gmat approach to solve Sentence correction is truly a rewarding experience.

E-Gmat always stresses on understanding the meaning and the structure of the sentence rather than learning the English grammar by rote. This step by step approach helped me to eliminate the wrong answer choices.

Anyone who is preparing for GMAT should definitely take the free courses available at E-Gmat website. It will help you to understand the E-Gmat approach to solve verbal question.

Above all Rajat and Payal are very much approachable and help you to solve different question. The E-Gmat has a forum to address the doubts of the students. I found this forum activity very useful for my preparation.

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.

"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.
