I am a huge fan of the teaching philosophy at e-GMAT. Instead of teaching you "tricks" that may or may not work, e-GMAT gives you a thorough grounding in the key grammatical rules and concepts tested on the GMAT examination, and saves you the countless hours that would otherwise be spent futilely browsing through archaic texts on grammar. In particular, the explanations on verb+ed and verb+ing modifiers are the best I have found anywhere on the web, Manhattan GMAT's forum included. I wholeheartedly recommend e-GMAT! The primary cons are that the videos could have been created more professionally (although I am probably nitpicking by using the high standards I have come to expect from Lynda.com) and that it is sometimes hard to understand the thick Indian accent (for the record, I went to college in the U.S.). In any case, these are minor flaws that should not detract from an otherwise superb learning experience!

I am a huge fan of e-GMAT's Verbal Scholaranium. I have attempted questions that are created by other GMAT prep companies and freely shared on the forums, but found them to be either too simplistic or not reflective of real questions encountered on the GMAT examination. For example, some of these questions seem rather contrived, since they were designed to test one or two Sentence Correction concepts in particular. However, I found the questions in e-GMAT's Scholaranium refreshingly challenging and true to the spirit of the GMAT examination. In particular, many questions possess a subtlety not commonly found in the questions designed by other test prep companies and bear a striking resemblance to what I would term 700-level questions on the GMAT. I recommend e-GMAT's Scholaranium most enthusiastically!
