Blindly trust eGMAT for Verbal

The GMAT has been a 2-year journey for me. I referred multiple blogs, books and of course The Gmat Club. I received multiple emails from Rajat Sadana of eGmat, offering free Live Sessions. The first time I attended one, I was convinced that this was it.

The live session (for Reading Comprehension) explained to me how the obvious questions were not so obvious after all. Breaking the sentence down, effortlessly spotting the keywords, actively reading, and gauging the tone of the passage was a revelation of sorts.

My gut feel about signing up did not let me down. Every aspect of a sentence be it in SC, CR or RC, presented information I would not have otherwise figured out on my own.

Highly recommended!

E-gmat played a very vital role in getting 700 for me. Being an engineer Quant wasn’t an issue for me. I had to solely concentrate on verbal. I started researching on best material available online. After attending a few demo workshops by e-gmat. I realized e-gmat is the best option available for me to score 700 in 2 weeks. I diligently followed the material. I can guarantee that no one else can make SC simpler than e-gmat. The audio visual files followed by short Quiz for assessing the weakness and conceptual gap was one key approach that helped me throughout this course.
The difficulty level of the questions was also fair not too high not too low.. The best part of the course is the scholarium which has gold quality questions. One CAN NOT go wrong in actual GMAT if he/she has properly utilized scholarium.I’ll recommend everyone who wants to ace GMAT verbal to go for e-gmat
Finally I want to thanks to all e-GMAT team members ( Rajat, Payal ,Anubhav, Krishna & Shraddha ) for their support and feedback

I found egmat's verbal program to be very effective and hence I signed up for their quant course too. As expected, the quant program was just as good.

1. It exposes you to a huge variety of good questions (some much tougher than the GMAT). In the process, you develop the confidence to crack anything.
2. The questions are solved in a very structured manner. The concepts are explained well in a detailed fashion. There are self-assessments to identify strengths and weaknesses followed by the course, concepts, and multiple quizzes.
3. It comes with a detailed timetable. Hence it makes one very focused throughout the process of preparation. It helps to stay in control.
4. Like the verbal course, the learning is very visual and engaging and hence retaining the concept in memory also becomes easy.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

This is the best course available on the internet for several reasons:
1. It is super structured - makes learning really smooth and systematic for someone who cannot attend classes.
2. It comes with a detailed timetable. Hence it makes one very focused throughout the process of preparation.
3. THE CONTENT AND MANNER OF TEACHING ARE BRILLIANT! The approach is very scientific and methodical. The concepts works well when you master it. You can see your scores and accuracy rates improving immediately after you get a hang of the concepts taught.
4. The learning is very visual and engaging and hence retaining the concept in memory also becomes easy.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

I liked the course. There are nice exercises and very good techniques to improve your verbal (especially in the sentence correction part). The only problem if you are not Indian nor are not used to their English accent, is difficult to understand what the speaker is saying. But it is worth the money if you have time to prepare and are desperate to improve your verbal score. The system (online platform) is solid, as you are able to see your progress in the whole course. Overall, a good investment in my case. (I use after studying the Manhattan verbal books)

I am a non-native speaker and I have tried many different online courses. My quant was bad (28). I managed to improve 4 points using egmat. I feel like they have a very good explanation for sentence correction. The tutorial and videos are very neat and clear and made me understand the concept. I would suggest using the egmat if you are non-native and wants to improve your sentence correction. They have a very unique way to teach that I did not find in any other online course. I would suggest getting the basics first and then try Egmat when you are feeling that it is getting hard to improve.

The course is very well structured. You see your progresses, have intermediate questions to see if you have absorbed what you have studied, and also has every section organised by topic so that you can easily access the resource you are looking for.
It certainly requires concentration and planning, but it's full of resources that will certainly help you score a better score.
My advice is to start as soon as possible and to follow the structure as much as you can. If you fell comfortable with a certain topic, then it makes to skip some section but be sure you are not missing details that can help you save a lot of time during the exam.

Being a non-native English speaker, I found hard to improve the verbal part with the traditional books and resources. What I found really great about this course is that it really helps you understand the things you have to look at in order to answer correctly. After the course, you realise that it's not how you speak English but how you scan the sentence or passage.
Compared to other resources, it brings you step by step through the different cases and you gradually and naturally become ready to understand how the test builders think.
Highly recommended, in particular for sentence correction and critical reasoning and especially for non natives in English

I have taken the e-GMAT course twice and I am going to take the course once again. I have decided that this will be last time I will be taking the GMAT,so want to be sure that I will be using all approriate and useful resources. I have highlighted the things I like and dislike about the course. Please keep in mind this is only my opinion.

Strengths
Without a doubt the SC part of the course. I have found this the best part about the course. The course proceeds by analysing the meaning of every sentence,although I would say focus on grammar too,but for most sentences you will find meaning trumps everything and grammar becomes a subset of it.

The RC technique is very practical,but please keep in mind that you have to apply these techniques. You may learn the theory here,but I would say practice and practice.

I like the CR pre-thinking part that they teach,but again CR has to do a lot with practicing in the right way,otherwise this will kill your time. Try to learn the pre-thinking part from the course.

Things I didnt like

The Interface for sure- I took this course earlier when they had the older interface. I found it simpler and easy to use. I am in India and the net is not that fast,I get tired of sometimes seeing the circle going round and round before the page finally loads.

SC will trump everything else in the course. Rest is good practice.

I joined egmat for their course after a recommendation for verbal esp RC, SC. The level of difficulty of the verbal question is notch higher than GMAT. The approach taught and pratice has helped me to avoid all my silly mistakes. I feel much relieved after practicing and applying strategies from the live prep sessions. Now, I am getting confidence in my SC, RC section with their sessions. I would recommend it for all who have verbal issues especially with SC, RC. CR is also very good. And practice from the sessions helps gain mastery over the topic. I am very happy with my choice.
