I am Sai Prasad B. I am an EE-engineer and work at Memory manufacturing company. My verbal skills are super poor to begin. I neither of 3 areas(RC , CR, SC) was my strength. To speak the truth i was horrible in my verbal. In my first Diagnostic test i score a 450(V13 Q40) on GMATPREP. I didn't expect much from myself in verbal, But looking at my Quant score i was couldn't sleep well that night. I worked on quant material that was out there, Kaplan premier, OG, OG workbook, Kaplan workbook, Kaplan 800, Manhatten quant advanced. I took my second GMATPREP scored a 550(V-16 and Q50). Getting a Q-50 felt good as i was able to see the results for the work that i put in.
i know my weakest area was Verbal. So i understood that i need to work. Gave myself enough time to solve all the problems from the material Kaplan premier, OG, OG workbook and Kaplan workbook. Here was my first mistake while i was solving verbal problems. I did not understand for what reasons the correct was correct and for what reasons the eliminating the options that were incorrect. I kept going with brute force. I took my GMAT PREP test-3 on jan26-2014, scored 600(V-24 Q48). Saw an improvement but was not satisfied. I took an another test after a month Feb22 2014 Scored 510 (V-12 and Q49). I took an other test after 2 months on Apr-26 2014 scored a 590(v-20 q-50). Understood that i need guidance to go any further on my verbal score. I got enrolled in GMATCLUB and found that EGMAT is the place for non-natives. Watched Free Sentence correction classes given my Payal. I was hardly getting anything correct in SC for the right reasons. I understood why i was so poor in Verbal. Took e-gmat Verbal online classes. started seeing my verbal score go up.
e-gmat Course is designed in a very good way with pre-assesment and post-assesments after every concept. It was super helpful.
Nov23-2014 GMAT PREP- 620(Q-49 and V26)
December 18 GMAT PREP 650(Q-50 and V27)
Jan 2 2015 GMAT PREP 680(Q-50 and V-31)
Jan 11 2015 GMAT PREP 720(Q-50 and V-37)
I took a break for my wedding. Now i am back to work and started working back on GMAT. Target 760.
But friends all i say is . Instead of wasting so much time as i did, Please suggest your friends to take e-gmat verbal online if they are poor in verbal like me and want to get high score. Ask them to track what mistakes they are do and repeat the concept files in EGMAT. This way anyone like me can build on their weak areas in Verbal. With proper guidance and persistent hardwork you can achieve whatever you want.

Like many of you – I was a victim of inconsistent scores in the verbal section. My scores were hovering around the 31-35 level, and while my accuracy increased in one sub-section (say RC) – the accuracy of the other sub sections took a knock on effect. After a disappointing verbal score in my first GMAT – I decided it’s time to take on a more fundamental approach. So after reading a few reviews on e-gmat , I decided to take a plunge and after completing the course I can say that this decision has helped me improve my accuracy and subsequently scores greatly. The e-gmat course offers a reformed way in which verbal is taught. The course contents on SC, RC and CR make learning difficult concepts a cake walk.
There are quizzes at the beginning and end of each topic which helps one benchmark his or her performance both prior and after going through the concepts. The Verbal Live Complete Lectures conducted by Rajat and Payal over the weekends focuses on the finer aspects of verbal that help improve one's score. If you are a person who has a demanding job similar to mine and hence has little time left for studying then I would advise enrolling for the e-gmat Verbal Live package - The advantage with e-gmat is that the course acts as a ‘one stop shop’.

My primary intention of purchasing the e-gmat course was to get hold of additional quant questions and if required have the option of accessing any of the Quant subsections that I believed I was weak in. As a non native - I consider the Quant Section of the GMAT as my strength and hence I was initially not convinced on how much I would gain by going through all the tutorials. I started off with just the concepts of Permutation and Combination and was pleasantly surprised to see how the fundamentals were discussed and presented in a clear yet easy to absorb way. The course is very well structured and trains one to think logically even while reading a question. The live sessions are a great asset as they emphasise on solving tough 700 level questions.
I am still preparing for the exam but my accuracy has indeed improved. Having now completed the e-gmat Quant Course - I am confident that I will be able to hit the 50 point target that I have set for the exam.

Hello members,

I took my 1st attempt at GMAT exam on 7th Feb and scored 690 (V34, M50).

Although the score was below par as per my expectation, I scored 91 percentile in SC (based on ESR report).All Credit to e-GMAT team.

After going through other materials (MGMAT verbal books, etc), I can say for sure that the quality of content of e-GMAT is a notch higher. The methodology used in this program really suits a non-native speaker. One aspect that needs special mention is the quality of questions that are present throughout the course. It touched almost all the tricky concepts in the SC section. Also, the explanation is by far the most comprehensive solution one will find in the market. Good thing is they have approached every question following the same strategy. This consistent approach enables one to attack new problems with more confidence.

Regards,
Gaurav

I purchased the quant course from e-gmat with the trust that they would do the same good job with what they have done on the verbal section of the GMAT and i wasn't disappointed from the first lesson on Number properties. With a biology background i was struggling with the quant part of the test. But after enrolling with e-gmat, i have started seeing a lot of improvement. I have started scoring from Q32-34 range to Q47-Q49 in my practise tests. The course discusses the fundamentals in detail in its video lesson and the live session teaches you how to solve the tough 700 level questions.

I have my Test coming up in a month and i am sure that i can reach my target score of Q50 with the help of e-gmat.

Started my EGMAT course after several failures. Cmae to know about EGmat through GMAT Club and even with some good reviews thought to give a try. As an engineering background I am strong at Quant but my verbal score was too low in my previous attempts and had lost hope to join a good MBA school. But now after preparing with EGMAT I am able to score well in my mocks with verbal 32 currently. Hopefully prior my test I will still improve my verbal score to 37-39. Looking forward to beat 650-700 score this time. All thanks to EGMAT team and I am in debt to them for helping me to improve.

Honestly speaking, I have taken GMAT a few times, but have never scored what I desired. Throughout the process of preparing for exam and appearing for it, I found that some where my basics were weak or not clear.
I had signed up for classroom courses too, but due to constant travelling, I could not continue them on regular basis. So I was down to Preparing my self.
e-GMAT's course came as rescue for me. Besides the convenience of studying at convenient time, whether it is mid night or early morning, what I like more is the way concepts are taught. Unless the base is strong, you can not deal with the hard questions. Clear concept come in play specially in DS. I was very weak in DS and I was not able to figure out why. DS is tricky, if your concept is clear, you can solve it by not actually solving it completely and there by save some time. Going through the concepts and practising the sample questions during the course, and with further practice, I'm able to hit 90% plus accuracy. Which is great. I have been a mediocre student and these positive results have inspired me to put more efforts.

I registered for e-GMAT complete course in Oct,14 after completing my first GMAT attempt and failing miserably with a score of 540(Q41,V23). I stumbled upon e-GMAT though GMAT club forums and decided to join. The course was worth the money I spent on it. I was not sure whether I would improve when I started but the course was designed so well that I could easily grasp the techniques and apply them. Initially it takes time to apply the concepts for every question since it is time consuming but when you practice a lot of questions together with the OG guide questions which e-GMAT recommends, applying the principles becomes an integral part while you solve the questions. The workshops are strikingly useful to judge yourself and to improve your weak areas. Moreover there are sufficient questions neatly subdivided into groups to help practice efficiently. When you follow the course step by step regularly you will see an automatic score improvement which is unbelievable. My quant score has improved in the mock tests to Q50 and my verbal score to V32.
My GMAT exam is just a few weeks away and I am quite confident that I will score well and will write a success story .

Hi Guys,
I heard lot of good reviews about the course so I took this course.
I have started doing this E- Gmat verbal course, though I have not taken the full course till now but whatever I have done. I feel confident about the course. The way video and exercise are made, they are self explanatory ( Easy to understand) . It also covers all the topic. Yes this course is definitely good for non native speakers

I hope, I will improve on my verbal part after this course. Will definitely write my full review once everything is done. Keeping my finger crossed.

Thanks and regards

Hello Members,

I would like to provide my review on e-gmat Verbal Live Prep. I see this is the best prep available, helping strengthen your concepts,apply your learned skills, and strategize in an effective approach. When i first studied from other sources on Verbal,I, as a non-native, was not able to gather complete ideas. Although MGMAT SC was helpful,i still missed the best strategies required to solve SC within the required time. I learned these techniques from Verbal Prep course. You will apply your skills in solving the problems and analyze or evaluate your correct or wrong choices. The importance of proper brainstorming in a CR question is paramount and I learned the technique of brainstorm in a CR question from the course. This really improved my accuracy in CR section. The Live course also helps you come prepared to a live class joined by smart,dedicated gmat applicants.

All i can say here is this is a great course for those who believe that they can certainly do better in Verbal section if guided by proper,required concepts and efficient techniques solving the problems.
