As an engineer, I was quite confident about quant. But, later realised that it isn’t that simple.
e-GMAT provided a complete refresher of all the concepts along with the various different types of examples
The Quant course offered by eGMAT is very comprehensive and goes into detail on every top that is tested on GMAT Quant. The quizzes and the multitude of questions at the end of each topic are very helpful in understanding how the concepts are tested.
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
I would definitely recommend e-GMAT's to everyone
e-GMAT's Verbal definitely the best verbal prep course I've taken. The analytical approach to verbal questions. e-GMAT's 3 step process is a must, and the videos sessions make it easier for you to learn and remember the concepts. It provides the complete coverage of questions.
The forum is also very useful, any questions are answered within a day and the explanation is very clear and easy to understand
For those of you who are weak in verbal, e-GMAT provides a logical approach which is easy to understand and remember.
I would definitely recommend e-GMAT's course to anyone who wants to ace GMAT verbal
In my previous GMAT attempt, I scored high in quant but had a low score in the verbal section, which pulled my overall score down. I am retaking the exam this year and I have decided to take the help of e-Gmat (as recommended by a friend who score 760 overall)!
I must say that I am throughly impressed by e-GMAT's techniques and methods of attempting problems especially in the Sentence Correction part. The three step approach to solving a question - meaning analysis, error analysis and options analysis is a beautiful strategy that can help one solve any SC question with a decent accuracy. Not only this, the concept of takt time can be used to monitor one's performance and confidently skip some questions, and still get a high score. Having mastered my speed, I am currently looking to improve my accuracy. Yet another product 'Scholaranium' (a part of the Verbal Online Course) provides me with a good set of practice question and helps me to understand my areas of improvement. I would strongly recommend non-native English speakers to give e-GMAT a try!
E-Gmat has one of the best verbal courses out there in the market. As a non native ( English ) this course helped me understand the intricate details in the language which helped me through out Sentence Correction.
The techniques through which they approach a given problem..( Yes i mean problem !!..Thats how one should attack every Verbal question in my opnion ) is very calculated and to the point. These techniques certainly help you to solve the question very quickly and save time. My timing improved by 6 full minutes.!!
A big thanks for their detailed videos, which can viewed again and again at your ease.
Flashback to July 2015: I have just returned from the test center after a forgettable GMAT, one that has raised serious questions over my basic knowledge of the English Language.
I was determined to make amends and by a happy coincidence, I came across E-GMAT on a certain gmat-club forum. What struck me about them back then was the simple procedure they used to arrive at VA solutions regardless of the question/question-type.
As a result, I further attended a few webinars and eventually decided to enroll to e-gmat Verbal Online course.A few lessons in, I was able to see a change in my approach towards GMAT questions. With regular practise, I learnt to apply [Logical Diagram - Prethink - Evaluate Answer Choices] effectively to all verbal question types and this simple practice helped improve my accuracy in a major way.
The course for VOL is broken down into several chapters with a mix of videos and PDFs, all of which contributed to a healthy learning experience. What I most enjoyed during my preparation was the pre-quiz & post-quiz for every chapter. These exercises along with the solution analyses really help with one's self-assessment(They helped in my case atleast and I was able to set targets for myself).
I was particularly impressed with the CR & RC sections of the course, the level of the questions in the practice files of these sections was spot on with regard to GMAT and I believe solving these helped me overcome my fear of the GMAT environment.
However, it is worth mentioning that a lower average response time to queries would be preferable. They take about 2 days to respond to queries, as of now.
All this said, I would certainly recommend e-gmat verbal to anyone who's looking for a carefully structured course to help prepare for the GMAT.
When i started preparing for GMAT, One of the major decision to be made was to select an online course which can help me in building my concepts and approach ,and understanding question types and unique ways to solve them. E-Gmat not only helped me get all the above but more. I took its Verbal online course and below is a brief review of my experience.
E-gmat has a unique approach to SC. It first builds your concept and afterwards help you apply them in various types of questions. One thing i can say for sure is the methodology is amazing and it helped me in improving my accuracy from 40% to 85%.
Moving on to CR, The most highlighting point will be the Pre-Thinking step. The introduction to various types of questions and concepts is really good. I got a hang of it quite quickly but its Scholaranium helped further enhance my ability to solve questions.
In RC Section of E-Gmat, It has divided the various Essay types such as Buisiness, Eonomics , Bio Science and etc. These Various types of essay helps you in getting acquainted to every type of essay question asked in GMAT.
All the above, The Scholaranium is the best i would say. All the questions give you ample much of practice and help you get best statistics.
I hope my review will help people in making a crucial decision.
Thanks E-Gmat

I was actively looking for courses online for my verbal preparation. Since I have graduated from one of the top engineering colleges in India, I never faced issues with quant section. Without much efforts I was scoring in the range of 49 - 51. However my pain point was the verbal section. I did not have proper structure in place for verbal preparation. Also, I could never develop the confidence of reaching a point where I could say that I would score > 35 in the verbal section. In fact I was constantly scoring in the range of 26-30 in this section. I had exhausted all the study materials I had such as the Manhattan SC guide, Manhattan cr guide and some other materials which I found online. Such was my frustration level that I decided to put my preparation on hold as there was uncertainty of my score in the verbal section despite my sincere efforts. Then I stumbled upon eGMAT verbal online course on facebook. I realised that there were a bunch of people who were in the same boat as I was with strong quant skills but weak verbal skills, but with eGMAT's assistance had sailed through all the hurdles. I just took the decision of going ahead with this course. I think this step single handedly changed the course of my preparation.
Here are the positive points about the course. In case a student is facing trouble in the verbal section, try eGMAT for the following reasons.
1) Great quality content: The team has created online video courses for each and every important section thats important from GMAT prep perspective with very nice illustrations and top quality examples.
2) Online test platform : eGMAT provides its users with a tool called scholarium which is a very powerful platform to analyse ones performance/progress after one completes certain topics. Additionally it lets you set the topics you would specifically like to be tested on with attributes such as time, sub section, etc. Highly effective in my case. I used it extensively by filtering questions based on the topics I wasn't good at and started tracking my progress.
3) Expert's help: Whenever you are in doubt, you could write to them and you can expect a reply in just 2-3 days with concept clearing answers.
4) SC : The team provides a secret sauce particularly in this section. Honestly I started enjoying solving SC questions. I reached a very high accuracy rate for SC questions.
5) Study plan : The eGMAT team also provides its users with a study plan. This is also very effective as it defines your goals for the course of your preparation.
6) Very economical : The verbal online course is priced at a very reasonable rate compared to products offered by eGMAT's competitors.
Please register for eGMAT if you are struggling with verbal section. Haven't tried their quant but I can vouch for their verbal section. Trust me. I have seen ample materials online but none comes close to the quality which eGMAT provides.

I had given my GMAT more than a year ago (710- V34, Q50) and at that point of time I used to absolutely dread RCs. I found them really mundane and could never get myself to focus. While my quant was always strong, and CR and SC were average, RCs just didn't come to me naturally. And no, this does not mean that I'm weak at English in general. Infact, I'm among the most annoying grammar nazis that you may across. But each time I would come across an RC in the middle of my mocks, I would feel low and lose time and thereby end up rushing through my SC and CR questions as well.
Then, my friend introduced me to e-GMAT and I cannot thank him enough for having done that. After a year long break, I felt the need to go over SC and CR concepts as well and the videos provided by e-GMAT made them a whole lot of fun. I would stay up till late night, watching the videos, almost like I'd be watching a sitcom. They were light and helped me brush up my concepts very well. I had read someone's review about making handwritten notes while watching videos and then transferring those onto Evernote at the end of each day as that would not only help you revise, but also create a handy notebook for you to skim through while you're on the move. This tip helped me a lot and I would really recommend it to you all as well. I made my notes nice and colourful and added screenshots and links to them. Going over them later seemed fun because of all the colours I had added. (let me know if you want me to share them with you!)
The RC videos were really helpful as well. e-GMAT provides you a number of key strategies that you must keep in mind while reading through RCs. The one strategy that worked wonders for me was "to get immersed". I would literally tell myself at the beginning of each passage that "Oh! this sounds interesting, lets read what happens next!" I even used the note making approach during RCs quite regularly and was thereby able to get ALL my main point and structure questions right. These strategies seem very time consuming in the beginning, but within no time, you start to internalise them.
The other thing that I absolutely loved about the VLP was the scholaranium. Since I knew that RC was my weak point, I had decided to do atleast 4 passages every day, along with 20 SCs and 20 CRs. I used to create a lot of RC Ability quizzes and while I started with a 43% accuracy (with no time left to answer the last one), by the end I had 96% accuracy which was a great achievement for me. Infact, the day before my GMAT, when I sat down to give my RC ability test, I felt I was able to breeze through it easily. I wasn't spending to much time reading and even the answers were coming to me naturally.
When I submitted the test, I saw my score report in which I had just one (Hard) question wrong out of a total of 4 RC passages. This was my biggest confidence booster and I was sure that my GMAT would go well this time, which it did!
Infact, I finished by Quant section 18 minutes in advance and my Verbal section 15 minutes in advance and landed up with a V41, Q50 and a total of 750. I was literally shivering while answering my last few Verbal questions because the difficulty level had gone up which also meant my score was going up.
I wouldn't say that a V41 is a kickass score, but for someone like me who dreaded RCs to such a large extent, it was definitely an accomplishment, specially since I was now able to answer the questions so much faster.
Thank you e-GMAT once again and thanks to all those who read my review till the very end. I hope I was able to motivate a few of you out there like me, who may have totally given up on RC.
All the best to you all !!

I have been struggling with verbal for a long time. I would always get stuck between the two answer choices. Without a tutor I was finding it very difficult to know why a certain answer choice is incorrect. No matter how thoroughly I read the explanation it would not make much sense to me. However, my verbal understanding has improved dramatically, thanks to E-gmat. The way the tutorials have been broken down, it let's you master a topic at a time, and explains clearly what's the difference between a tempting answer choice and the correct answer choice.
I would 100% recommend the course, if verbal is what are you struggling the most.
For the quant, it's again a great program but more so for the beginners who need to brush up their basics. I use to teach voluntarily to the kids and I can assure you if you really want to strengthen your quant skills Egmat is way to go.
Exceptionally happy with it!
The verbal is rather good. I promise you, you can't find a better SC course anywhere else. My improvement in SC accuracy was through the roof! also the CR and RC sections give you approaches to solve every question type a certain way. The best thing is that there are not hacks or dumb tricks to identify the correct choice like in other courses I have glanced at (trust me, every word you have been told can never be part of the correct answer, CAN be!!! I have seen it myself on the gmat and gmat prep)
The best part is the scholaranium. I especially like the ability quiz and custom quiz section. Helps to work on specific weak areas. And the variety of questions is unparalleled. I don't think there is a better quant question bank in any where else.
All in all, one month of prep and I got a decent score - 720. All thanks to egmat :)
Hi i joined e-GMAT verbal live prep batch 01/04/2017,which ended on 07/05/2017.It was a great course,as far as i improved my Verbal score from v13 to v23. Although,the very first time i appeared was on 31st march without any or much of preparation and landed up in getting extremely poor score.Any way after a long gap of study almost 26 years at sea. In fact i did not finish the complete verbal live prep as far as home work and other post live session study is required.May be one can say about only 50% of study i appeared for workshop and scored v23. In fact it is not recommended to appear with preparation like me but again,i wanted to test myself ,where do i stand in the crowd.I am attending Quant live prep from 14/05/2017 and i hope to complete all my verbal live prep post live session home with Quant live prep from 14/05/2017.Its a great improvement for me in verbal and i hope i will achieve v37 by end of June 2017 with believing to score well in the final phase of Quant live prep.The next,2nd attempt GMAT date is on 29/06/2017.Lets hope for best.It was amazing live session and will continue with quant as well.Excellent team of teaching faculty.
