I took my first GMAT in March 2016 and scored a 660 (Q49, V31). Since I am a non-native speaker, verbal was/is my weakest point. However, I had some changes in my career, so until the end of 2017 I did not start a new GMAT preparation. When I started considering taking the GMAT again, I decided to devise a good preparation plan first with an emphasis on Verbal part. My next GMAT is scheduled for beg of July 2018, and I will share my experience with the test afterwards.
For my 1st preparation which took ~3 months, I used only Manhattan SC, CR, and RC; and OG resources. This time I decided to change my strategy and I was reviewing different courses to understand which one would give me the best possible outcome. In the end, I decided to take E-GMAT VERBAL ONLINE, since it had very good overviews and it also provided an access to GMATCLUB tests. The price was also very reasonable to me.
After having used the course for ~6 months of interrupted preparation (due to job schedule) here is what I can say about the course:
- SC is really brilliant. I firmly believe that this is the single resource you need to master your SC. I became very confident with SC after about 2 months devoting my time only to this part of the course.
- CR and RC are also great. Every type of question is taught in a very structured and logical approach. First, the structure of an argument is explained, so that you can quickly segregate it into premises and conclusion parts. After that, for each type of question you are presented with a right approach to solve such type.
- What makes the course really strong is its structure in presenting the materials. All concepts are followed by quizzes and OG questions, and such approach makes you learn the concept very deeply both in terms of theory and immediate practice. You don’t need to create any plan as to how to approach the materials – you just follow the schedule step-by-step to cover all concepts.
- The course is abundant with very hard questions, especially in CR. I believe it is very useful to solve questions of hard level in order to feel comfortable in the test setting. The Scholaranium section provides a very high quality questions bank.
Overall, if you are searching for a single resource for Verbal part, I can say that e-gmat is a great choice and it worth every dollar of the price.

Wish you all the best!
