This is one of the best courses I have ever taken. Coming from a back ground of non native english speaking, I am very much confused with english sentences and structure. This course really demystified all the problems I had.
Sentence correction is my most favorite part. The critical reasoning are pretty awesome as well.
I would recommend the course to every one with a non -english back ground.
it is also encouraged to undergo the quant section which heard has some great tips as well. Reading comprehension is good, but squeezing some tricks can help as well..

the webinars for starters are informative and provide some confidence to learn things better

Upon taking a practice test, I realized that, even as a native, my verbal skills were sub-par (I think I scored something like Q47/V31). I scored poorly in SC (as well as CR & RC), and things seemingly clicked during my three months of preparation before my first gmat. I scored fairly low (680) and realized I needed to do something different. Even though e-gmat seems to be targeted at non-natives, I thought to myself, if non-natives like this, then I really should like this.

What I found is that e-gmat clearly explained things to me that didn't seem all that intuitive. CR has certain rules, that I would call arbitrary and non-logical. E-gmat explained in great detail why certain answers were wrong, and that helped in eliminating wrong answer choices on more difficult questions.

Their SC was invaluable to me. I think that having a decent base of SC knowledge to work off of really helped me to grasp things quickly as I went through the SC class. Also, I now notice how poorly people at my work write.

The RC was good, but not as great as their CR and SC were for a native. I did have difficulty in determining the main purpose of passages, and this class did definitely help with that.

E-gmat quant course is very insightful and the course is very knowledge oriented. The various tests conducted in the e-gmat quant course helps to brush up the foundation levels and it increases your understanding of the subject very well. I hope to see more e-gmat practice tests. the instructors are very prompt if you address any query. The general quizzes, the test scores are very apt to the GMAT score and to understand your score level and the loop holes while attempting the tests. Thank you gmat for the support and i m looking forward to improve my score and I hope you help me boost up my score levels in the real GMAT Test.

The verbal course is well structured and tailored to the needs of non natives.Video concepts, quizzes, OG questions,application files helped me to Understand the concepts well. The way they divided OG questions according to topics is a commendable gob. Their 3 step process of solving questions, makes life much easier. I had some difficulty in Tenses and Parallelism. After going through the slides, and practicing the questions, now i am able to solve 80% of the question correctly. The course has an effectiveness of a private tutor, and doesn't cost much. Audio visual learning actually engages your ability to read. The way the whole course is designed is really commendable and highly recommended to all for whom verbal is not their strengths, especially non-natives.

Thank you e-gmat for making this happen, especially after my score of 610 (Q47,V27) in the first attempt. I am glad that I invested in the right course to achieve a whopping 120 point improvement. I give the entire credit to e-gmat course.

You guys are brilliant in analysis of each section in both Quant and Verbal. Your emphasis on attacking the question only after understanding the intended meaning of the question and brilliant explanation of all questions (with AV) in scholaranium really helped me reach my target score. With umpteen questions of excellent quality for practice and awesome analytics I never felt the need to buy any other book other than OG. The strategy sessions also helped me to get my priorities right in the last few weeks before the exam. Last but not the least the live sessions were well designed with very patient and enthusiastic tutors like Krishna, Payal, Rajat, Shradha, Japinder. You guys made me look at the finer details of a question which I completely ignored in my first attempt. Particularly your explanation of all the answer choices and why a wrong answer choice is wrong helped me cement my understanding. I am in a time zone (south korea) where the live sessions start at midnight. Though I could not attend all sessions because of odd timings, I could always catch up with the help of recordings.

Finally big kudos to all of you. You made the course look like some science subject with a systematic and structured content which amazed me. I somehow trusted the course and followed it religiously and it didn't disappoint me. I wish I had known about the course earlier during my first casual attempt. Anyway no regrets. Thank you.

I got a 640 in my first GMAT attempt in November and was crestfallen. I took a one month break. During this period I came to know about e-GMAT's SC and CR course and decided to give it a try. It has been a consistent score improvement since then for the last 4 months or so and my verbal scores in the mocks have consistently touched 40. My next GMAT attempt is scheduled in May 2016 and I am confident of getting a 720 plus score thanks to the structured e-GMAT approach to solving verbal questions. I will recommend it to anyone who wants to hit the 90th percentile in GMAT verbal.

My GMAT journey is a long one. From 2013 to 2015, I took it five times: 630-> 700 -> 720 -> 710 -> 770. As a non-native speaker, I have to say e-gmat indeed helped me to cross the 750 mark.

The first four times, I worked very hard and I’m very persistent. I studied all the materials you’ve heard of and I’ve put hundreds of hours into it. However, I still couldn’t reach my target score.

Then I began to realize GMAT is a test that requires not only hard work, but also an effective strategy and balanced mind. So when I got a lower score the fourth time, I took a chance with e-gmat and bought the verbal online course. Given the fact that I got big fellowship from a top 15 school, I believe the two hundred dollars is probably the best investment I’ve made so far.

I’m not saying e-gmat is the solution to all GMAT problems. I only testify that e-gmat approach for verbal worked very well for me. First, it helps you identify your strengths and weaknesses, which will help you better allocate your time and efforts on different sections. Secondly, its ‘meaning analysis’ approach to tackle sentence correction seems the best approach to me. I couldn’t think of other better way to prepare for this SC section. Thirdly, its CR problems are difficult so the real GMAT problems may seem easier for you. In addition, its free webinars on how to prepare for GMAT strategically are priceless, because even if a test taker is proficient in every individual section, he/she may still not able to achieve her best when all three types of problems are mixed together. Not to mention GMAT is computer adaptive. There’s just so much useful information provided in those webinars.

Anyway, as someone who used to not believe test prep courses, I wholeheartedly thank e-gmat.

e-GMAT verbal live prep is a best course available out there for non-natives. I signed up for e-GMAT verbal live prep and started preparing with sentence correction section. Thanks to AV methodology that I could improve my GMAT SC to a great extent. My accuracy level reached 90%. I attended 2-3 verbal live workshops as well. They were terrific. I am a great fan of Shraddha Jaiswal. The way she attacks SCs just blows my mind away. I learnt alot from her explanations. However, I couldn't complete GMAT RC due to some personal issues. CR is more or less OK, but I didn't find it very interesting, TBH. I kind of did CR on my won.

I am from Indonesia, so English is definitely not my first language. I knew from the beginning that I would struggle in verbal. Having an accounting background and experience working with math, I believe that Math is something that I can handle (though math in GMAT is not 100% math, I am sure your ability working with math will help you to solve the problem faster). So I joint Kaplan course here in Jakarta.
Sadly it was not enough, BOOM I got 530 on my GMAT test. The verbal score was a low 20 (I don't event want to mention the exact score) while the math score was pretty satisfying: 46.

I did not let my self down too long, I decided to jump in again. I bought SC & CR Manhattan books. Read every pages in detail. Tried to do mock every week. But I still didn't see a good improvement. Then I read about e-GMAT in Beatthegmat and Gmatclub, they said it is the right course for non-native. Nothing to lose, I registered the free-limited course from e-gmat. Surprisingly, I really really like the way of every videos explains about the problem and material. They did not show a tips and trick or shortcut but how to understand the problem, the real root cause, and step to approach the problem. All are packed in a simple and very detail way, perfect for non-natives. I also found it to be much more easier to understand the material by watching the video rather than reading books or joining class, because you can always repeat if you don't understand, and you can even email them to ask a difficult problem. Then I purchase the Verbal Online Course, and I am so great I did so. I did not realize that the approach to learn GMAT for non-native and native should be different, but yea, it makes sense!

For non native, I think you can go to other course such as Manhattan after you finish e-gmat. It works much better, because now you have an understanding about GMAT problem, not memorising or even guessing through shortcut. So these course will complete you as you also try different style of problem. That what I experienced my self. I understood Manhattan after completing e-gmat, even though I have read the book before taking e-GMAT.

My score improve from 530 to 650!!!
and the most important one, my verbal score improve to 32!!!!!

When I first took the GMAT, I was really disappointed with my low verbal score (22) after long preparation, thus I was thinking it would be impossible to have a higher score since I am not an english speaker.
Seeking for some help at internet, I found some great reviews about e-GMAT, but as expected, I was incredulous about its efficiency until I took the free trial. I started with the Sentece Correction course, with no doubt, it is the best I ever found. It explains very easily the usage of modifiers and most important how to break the sentence in small chunks to better understand the intended meaning. Honestly, the sentence correction questions on GMAT became much easier.
Additionally, I would like to point out the Critical Reasoning course. It is simply amazing how boldface are easier than we think. Also, the art of pre-thinking is a must for someone willing to have higher score. Definetely, I recommend e-GMAT, principally for non-english speakers just like me.
