I started using E-GMAT's verbal course about a month before my exam. I wasn't sure that I would learn a lot in a month, but because I was panicking about my SC prospects I started the course nonetheless. So here's my experience:
1. Even though I had already trained myself on SC topics, and had done quite a few official questions, EGMAT's SC course still had a lot for me to learn.
2.Each topic is broken down into smaller consumable parts and explained with great amount of detail. In fact I thought that they were very thorough in anticipating doubts that a reader might have.
3. Overall the questions of a certain difficulty level, especially in the question bank SCHOLARANIUM, are more difficult than the official ones of a corresponding difficulty level. And this I think is a GREAT thing. As you are forced to read and comprehend longer sentences and pay attention to complicated details. By the time you are done with Scholaranium, you will most likely cruise through official questions (at least most of them).
4. Ofcourse as you solve official questions you will also encounter errors that you haven't come across in E-GMAT. But you will, for most parts, be able to wrap your head around them by making connections to concepts that you would have learnt through E-GMAT.
5. Don't expect to get all official questions right by doing a E-GMAT course (that's true for any course). There will always always be questions that will stump you. And therefore I think one should be realistic. Rather focus on consistently getting the easier and medium level questions correct. If you do them well, you will most likely crack enough hard level questions to reach V40 and above.
7. Scholaranium has great analytics too. So you can actually find out pretty precisely the topics that you might need to work on.
6. I didn't have time to complete their RC and CR modules so I cannot comment on them.
8. Overall, if you aren't very very very confident about SC, and are struggling to find a good source on which you can put your faith in, then I recommend you try E-GMAT. I know that it is difficult to make a decision on what to trust, given that there are so many products in the market. I went through the same dilemma. But ultimately I think I made the right choice for SC.
