I invested quite a time back then to find out the best verbal course available. I have gone through the GMAT club course reviews to finalize the same. After contemplating for such a long time I gave a shot at E-GMAT verbal online course. I am giving this review so that many students can be benefited.
E-GMAT verbal course is very structured. As SC is my weakest part I have gone through the SC course. It focused purely on the basics of the SC and it meaning based approach is what needs to applauded. As we all know that GMAT verbal is basically not a grammar test and tests your reasoning skills like intended meaning E-GMAT course helps us to focus in that way.
Pre-Thinking in Critical Reasoning helped me to reduce the time needed to answer and also very helpful. I struggled with Assumption questions for quite a time but with the above said approach I gained confidence and achieved 83 percentile in CR.
Also, needless to mention their scholaranium questions. These quizzes are customizable by topic/difficulty, but on top of that they have adaptive ability to develop test taking ability. The metrics that they provide has a lot of data that can can be used to identify any weak area with concept, timing or difficulty and work on it.
Overall, I would recommend verbal online course of E-Gmat for fetching a good score.
I believe the e-GMAT verbal course is very well suited to someone who is unclear on the strategy for verbal preparation. While doing your research online, you may come across a lot of resources to study from. You tend to get confused, but this course is well structured in terms of concepts and practice questions for each of the sections under the verbal umbrella. This course provides a systematic approach to solving the question; this approach helps one spot the correct answer than coming to the answer by eliminating the incorrect ones. The approaches not only improve the accuracy but also helps in time management as GMAT often puts similar options to confuse the candidate which will consume a lot of time in answer by elimination approach.
In addition, what stood out for me was the constant support from the e-GMAT team. Their online support via email is great. The team is quite responsive and ready to help you as you proceed with the preparation. They will solve simplest of doubts and answer your questions thoroughly.
In all, I would say if you are indeed looking forward to improving your verbal and are a little clueless or lost on how to, the e-GMAT verbal online course can help you do wonders.
My GMAT journey started in the Spring of 2020. Like most other GMAT candidates, I started by studying from books by a big brand test prep company and the Official Guides. I familiarized myself with all the stuff that is tested on the GMAT and studied for three months, thinking that was enough time. I took a few mock tests in that period, but my score was never consistent. My best score was 670(Q48, V34), but I was never able to get that score again and was never able to break the threshold. After three months of prep, I took a break from the GMAT. Demoralized and frustrated, I thought that the GMAT wasn’t for me.
Months passed, but I was not happy with myself. I always thought to myself “What if I was just following the wrong strategy until now?” Finally, at the beginning of 2020, I committed to preparing for the GMAT again but decided to change my approach this time. After a lot of research, I decided to sign up for the e-GMAT verbal course. I heard about the company several times on the GMAT Club forum, and watched some of their live sessions on YouTube, but I finally decided to give them a try. After spending a little over two months on the e-GMAT course, I can definitely see the improvement in my verbal score. I was able to go from low 30’s to high 30’s and even a 40 one time on the mocks. Below are some of the reasons why the e-GMAT verbal course stood out to me:
For SC, the e-GMAT meaning based approach is a game changer. I had gotten decent at eliminating wrong answers by noticing splits in the answer choices, but sometimes ended up with two answers to choose from and ended up guessing between those two. The verbs module was the most helpful and the content was delivered in a way that made it easy to visualize the timeline of events happening in a sentence.
For CR, the structure-based approach helped me break down the passage and understand it better. I had studied the negation technique for solving assumption questions earlier but was never quite able to apply that well in an argument. The e-GMAT approach to pre-thinking falsification questions helped me apply the negation technique in a better way, and this approach helped me improve my CR accuracy.
The RC section of verbal has been the trickiest for me. It’s something that you can’t guess on entirely and it can be the most time-consuming portion of the verbal section. I am not a fast reader and don’t comprehend well what I read. My biggest fear in the verbal section is getting two RC passages back-to-back, and then getting derailed for the rest of the test. The submersion technique taught by e-GMAT helped me get involved in the passage and this definitely helped me do better on RC.
I found the e-GMAT’s scholaranium to be a great source for verbal questions. After exhausting the OG, I didn’t have a good repository of questions to practice from, but I was surprised by the level of questions that scholaranium has. The analytics provided by the e-GMAT tool is also great. It really helps you analyze your weak areas and helps measure accuracy. Also, the kind of support provided by the e-GMAT team is great. Though I didn’t ask a lot of questions on the forum, as the thread below each question had detailed discussions between students, who had similar doubts, and the mentors, the few times that I did ask a question, I got a prompt response from Kanupriya.
Looking back, I think the e-GMAT verbal course added the most value to my GMAT prep journey. I would highly recommend it.
When I attempted GMAT 3 years back, I scored 660, with a decent quant score but a dismal verbal score. I started preparing for GMAT again around October 2020, with an aim to score 700+. I initially relied on questions from GMATClub and OG, and after a few months of practice gave my first official mock test, scoring a 660. Again, I noticed a stark contrast between my quant and verbal scores. Realizing that I needed serious help with verbal, I decided to opt for e-GMAT.
The video lectures offered by e-GMAT for verbal are unparalleled in terms of quality. The lectures start with explaining the basics, and then show how questions are solved by breaking down each option and eliminating options one by one. I learned a lot of strategies to solve various types of questions, such as placement of verb-ing words for SC questions, negation strategy for CR questions, summarizing RC paragraphs, etc.
e-GMAT Scholaranium provides plenty of questions. You get to apply the strategies learned from video lectures on questions of varying difficulties (Easy, Medium, Hard). Scholaranium comes with a dashboard to help you understand the areas/types of questions that need improvement. Apart from the video lectures and Scholaranium, e-GMAT also provides a myriad of helpful articles on their website, and I often found myself going back to these articles again and again to refresh my memory.
In conclusion, e-GMAT helped me overcome the verbal score plateau, and I would recommend their verbal course to everyone aiming to score 700+ on GMAT.
Being a non- native candidate, verbal was always tedious and difficult to master for me. With about 6 months of self-preparation and hopping on & off from random contents of preparation from online resources, I realized that GMAT requires a structural approach than some random tricks.
I stumbled upon e-GMAT through reviews on GMAT Club and other forums. I was already scoring Q49 to 50 on mock tests but was scoring V25 to V28 on verbal section. I gave their sigmaX mock and got 640 with similar results in quant and verbal section. I reached out to e-GMAT for help in only verbal section. Thereafter, the journey has been great.
Module-wise review -
1. SC- One of the best section with foundation building concept videos. I think this is the best module prepared by them. Meaning based approach is really great.
2. CR & RC- Entire approach was around understanding the passages and thinking critically with out of box solutions.
PS: No mugging up (most imp :) )
I think for all the students whose basics are not on line. e-GMAT is the only platform which can help you.
REVIEWER IDENTITY VERIFIED by score report [?]
e-GMAT as a whole is phenomenal to say the least.
I signed up for the e-GMAT Verbal Online course after 3 failed attempts and specially when my score had dropped from GMAT #2:690 Q50 V34 to GMAT #3:650 Q50 V28!!! One of my seniors from undergrad recommended me this course.
Before my third attempt, I thought that my preparation was rock solid and that I would smash the GMAT with a 740+ score easily (since I was getting in the mocks). But after downloading the ESR and getting it reviewed by the eGMAT instructors, I came to know that I had big structural gaps when it came to concepts.
The e-GMAT's Master Comprehension is such a good thing to learn. It helped me not just with Sentence Correction, but also with understanding complex CR arguments. I definitely recommend everyone to follow the process very closely and strictly. Then came the meaning-based approach to solving Sentence Correction questions and I cannot overstate the fact that how much this actually changed my mind.
I would highly recommend their Verbal course if you're a non-native speaker who's struggling with sentence correction. I improved my ability considerably with the course, and started scoring good in the mocks with my newly increased accuracy. My GMAT #4 went considerably better with a Q50 V38 but just a 710, which was quite low for this breakdown. And during the test itself I felt that this is not my ideal attempt - I experienced short mind blocks.
Nevertheless, I approached eGMAT support again, even though it had been 2 months since my course expired, and sent them my ESR. Dhananjay Lowe (DJ) picked me up from there and scheduled a call with me wherein he provided me a deep analysis of my performance and identified exactly what the issue was: A weak RC ability coupled with incorrect answers to my first RC passage, which had a very low difficulty level. I was amazed by how many insights DJ could draw out of the ESR.
I just listened to Dhananjay's advice and reappeared for the GMAT#5 and scored a super 750: Q49 V41. Notably, I got a 99%ile in SC with not even a single incorrect answer - this itself speaks for how good their Verbal online course is.
E-gmat is a good platform for improving your GMAT scores. I had taken the verbal online course. Its a comprehensive course. I found the Sentence correction and reading comprehension courses the most helpful. Scholaranium is also a very good platform to improve your timing as well as the accuracy. The e-gmat support team is also quite helpful. I scored a 35 in the final verbal test with a total score a 700. I believe I underscored a bit (probably because of the anxiety). I believe egmat prepares you to score well in verbal which can help you cross the magic mark of 700!
I started my GMAT Prep journey in Sep'20. Although I was confident in the Quant and RC section, I knew I had to score well in SC and CR as well to achieve my target score of 720+. I started researching about verbal courses through the internet and interacting with friends/seniors. This is where E-Gmat came into the picture.
I must say that the course content and the method of teaching has exceeded my expectations. The course has been designed elegantly with a perfect mix of concepts, theory, examples, application, and tests. The best thing is that they never tell you to mug up rules, instead, they will tell you how to answer questions through logic and meaning. This approach assisted me a lot while attempting tricky questions. Also, the pre-thinking approach in CR helped me develop an overall thought process by which I could eliminate 2-3 options directly. The scholaranium, with its vast question pool and analytics system, helped me to improve on my timing while attempting the questions and enabled me to identify and learn from my mistakes. The instructors were quick to respond to questions, although I just sent them a couple of them as most of my questions were already answered in the inbuilt forum.
I would firmly recommend E-GMAT verbal course to anyone who's looking for improving their score in the verbal section.
I would like to thank e-gmat for their marvelous verbal module. When I got a dismal score of 610(Q 49 V 25), my friend referred e-gmat to me. I enrolled immediately and began my journey. Prior to taking e-gmat course I was struggling a lot in verbal, especially with sentence correction. But the e-gmat's sentence correction module was really ground breaking and my ability in SC improved leaps& bounds. Their structured approach to Sentence correction is invaluable to get answer tough questions in Sentence correction. Also the method of Pre-thinking the course taught me really helped me to get rid of confusing answer choices in RC and CR. Also the e-gmat mentors cleared all my doubts within 1-2 days. Their explanations were just crisp and to the point.
Now the 2nd part and as important as video lectures is scholararium. It was a complete package and had all type of questions covered. The questions in scholararium were reasonably difficult than those I faced in actual gmat, improving my accuracy and pace of answering while taking actual gmat. I recommend everyone who takes e-gmat course to solve scholararium in complete as you would get exposed to almost all type of questions that gmat has to offer you.
