As a non-native English speaker (and writer as you will see) I needed a course that thought me the foundations, the tricks and the strategy. Now I can say that e-gmat has been extreamly usefull learning tool of those 3 aspects.
- The foundations of SC, Cr and RC are very well covered in their concept files that start from the basic through advanced material
- The verbal live sessions really worth it. The sessions are very well prepared and designed to go deep into core aspects such as pre-thinking or the 3 process step for SC questions
- The strategy sessions tough you how to improve your score and gives you understanding on key things to keep in mind, like takt time
- Scholarium is a great tool for practice your weak areas and keep track of your performance
I signed up for the e-GMAT after reviewing them, Magoosh, and one or two other services. I needed help improving my score from a V38 so I can surpass my 700 in order to get closer to a 750. I already had a Q48/49/50 on practice and previous official exams, so I knew Verbal was where I needed to improve. I went from a V38 to a V41 by doing e-GMAT's Verbal section. Extremely thorough and helpful, with proper explanations, prompt assistance when needed, and practice questions with thorough explanations. They covered the most minute things that other programs I used did not cover. They really went down to showing you the how/why of each type of Verbal question type, grammar rule, etc. so if you truly want to break down and learn Verbal section, definitely do e-GMAT. For the price, it was totally worth it. Would highly recommend.
I have a long history with E-Gmat. In 2012 after getting 36 on verbal I found free webinar about GMAT strategies and after taking it decided to try the course. The course was great and after retaking the test I saw a better score – 39. Overall score was not enough for me, so I stopped studying for a while. In 2016 I decided to try again and came back to e-gmat, because I already saw that it was very effective. I watched again all the videos and did all the exercises and finally was rewarded with 44 on my last official attempt.
What I liked about E-GMAT Verbal
- It is easy to follow and it has all the information you need
- I am not a native speaker, so it was very beneficial for me, because it taught me things that we do not learn in school.
- A lot of practice material, which resembles GMAT questions very close
- Scholarium is amazing, so many practice questions and great explanations.
- I can see great results after using the course.
The course has been carefully crafted and covers all the topics which are tested in GMAT. It's quality is really amazing and also e-gmat team is really quick in answering queries pertaining to the course. Each and every question has been very clearly explained and their course also offers sufficient practice questions which are really helpful to develop a thorough understanding of the skills tested in GMAT. I took their SC and RC course but have also heard very good reviews about their CR course. I would really recommend their verbal course to the people who are struggling with the verbal section of GMAT.
REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by school email address [?]
I started learning for the gmat few months ago and I 'm confortable with (I got a score higher than 46 on my very first simulation tests). However the verbal section is a nightmare for me. I got a V26 on my simulation tests and started spending more time on the verbal section. I suscribed for the Economist GMAT (which I recommand to learn the technics for the quant section), and worked on the material for 8 weeks. Even though it helped me a lot for the quant, I hardly got V30 on simulation test after completing the course. 2 weeks ahead of my planned test date I made my mind that I could not get the 700+ score that I'm aiming . I then followed the advice of my friends who highly recommand the egmat verbal online course.
This course is incredibile great. It shows the technics step by step to ace the verbal. From the SC , to the RC through the CR, the egmat course and the questions in scholarium, are the perfect material to understand deeply the basic grammar rules and the arguments construction, how to read critically the RC passage and better answer the questions.
It also greatly helps to work on the official guide in the meantime and to get use to the official questions by giving the questions of the OG as exercice to work on after each course. The cherish on the top are the detail explanations of the OG questions.
I'm now able to score 37 on the verbal section thank to EGMAT.
I prepared for CAT, but I could not succeed. With experience of standardized test, CAT, I started preparing for GMAT. I was naturally good at quant, but verbal was my weak spot. This fact was established once again when I took the GMAT Prep test. I got Q49 and V28. I started practising questions from OG and thought that I would improve. SC was a big concern for me. I was relatively better in CR and RC was an area in which I was inconsistent. Nonetheless, with half preparation, I appeared for GMAT and scored 640 (Q49 V27).
I realized that I lack the process to approach the problems and in real GMAT, I struggled with timing. Then, I came across e-GMAT; on GC, I read very good reviews about this course and how useful it had proved to be especially for non-natives. I signed up for Verbal Live Prep, and completed the course diligently.
- SC course is really helpful! The explanations of every single OG question is detailed and helped me understand why a particular answer is right. 3-step process to reach the right answer became my habit.
- CR course is good as well. Rajat’s pre-thinking approach helped a lot. Initially, I struggled with pre-thinking approach. But, over a period of time and with practice, I started pre-thinking and could cut down on time to answer a CR question.
- RC: I started using Payal’s strategy of understanding the meaning and essence of each para. I started ignoring the tough words and focused on understanding the gist of the sentence.
In Real GMAT, I could score 700 (Q48 V37).
I have gone through a wide range of verbal online courses for GMAT. In particular, my experience is noteworthy with eGMAT for verbal course . I would definitely recommend it for non-native english aspirants. The fundamentals covered through egmat is fabulous with highly interactive interface. I would say that eGMAT is must for any GMAT aspirant for verbal.
One unique thing about this course is that after going through this course, one develop a strong fundamentals for the verbal part. The presentation of the topics is excellent & it never turns monotonous. Moreover, the exercise at the end of each section provides application for the theory covered.
This review is regarding my experience and learning through verbal live prep.This course focus on special area and helps to improve not only the accuracy but also the ability.I started my journey where I scored V17 and after 2 months of verbal online course my score hit V31.i would recommend verbal live course to anyone who is dreaming his or her Gmat score.I would highly recommend sentence correction to everyone who are looking to achieve accuracy for more that 90%.Live webinars helps to know the reason for your score pleatue and enhances your skill to move further.
I used the course only for Sentence Correction, though I had purchased the full Verbal Online course for the gmatclub.com mocks, and scholaranium access. I didn't need much preparation for RC so I studied only MGMAT RC Strategy Guide and for CR I referred Powerscore Critical Reasoning Bible. I had heard from a lot of people that these resources are better than E-Gmat and hence I relied on proven tried and tested resources for each section.
Pros -
1. Interactive way of learning.
2. Some difficult portions do become easy thanks to the audio-video mode of learning, especially the if-then constructions, verb tenses, subjunctive, etc. Memorizing becomes easy. It is a scientifically proven fact that one's visual memory is superior to one's auditory memory and their course content clubs them both together. Helps you in retaining the concepts.
3. Huge question pool - scholaranium packs in a large amount of gmat like questions. The analysis in scholaranium also helps one gauge his current ability score. Takt time embedded in scholaranium is also a good tool to analyze timing habits.
4. Neatly organized content, divided properly into sections and strategy sessions and excels detailing schedule are provided. These tools help you stay on track. Though I believe the order of appearance should be modified, it still is a nice that the content is organized section-wise.
5. E-Gmat team has done extensive research for GMAT and they have put in a lot of efforts in analyzing each of the OG questions.
6. A huge number of satisfied customers, some of them, whom I personally know.
7. Comes with Gmatclub,com mocks - these mocks are a great source for quant practice.
Cons -
1. Quality improvements are needed - a lot of sessions have some missing words or extra irrelevant information. For e.g. the article 'learn how that can help demystify' has useless content at the end and for some sessions like these the answers are not provided. This doesn't look good for a test prep company claiming to be the number one in GMAT preparation. Some repetition is there, especially in the articles section.
2. Questions after a particular session don't test concepts from that session only, but they also test concepts from other sessions. For e.g. the subject-verb session, in the beginning, has questions which rely on modifiers and idioms as well. Incorrect answers then demotivate the learner.
3. Some concepts are conveniently omitted, such as an idiom variety I remember in the idioms section. Some incorrect knowledge is imparted, such as "distinguish from" according to E-Gmat is wrong.
4. There is no option to increase the speed of the videos - this takes up a lot of time as the pace of the videos is a little slow and for a fast grasper it would be convenient if the video speed can be increased (optionally of course to say 1.5 times). Even youtube provides this option.
I gave GMAT without preparation for the first time in 2014 and got a mere 19 % in verbal and I clearly knew where I stood in GMAT verbal. Then after a month of research I zoomed in on eGMAT for my verbal prep and after initial few days, I clearly felt that I'm doing good in my verbal practice. As days progressed, I started to conquer SC, CR questions with ease. Yet, I couldn't give my GMAT exam due to personal reasons. But, I would strongly recommend non-natives to take this course as there is a clear approach to solving verbal questions
