Being an Indian GMAT aspirant , Verbal was my night mare. To overcome this problem I signed up for e-GMAT verbal online course and this helped me score 39 in verbal which I was very happy with. The SC section was particularly helpful as I need the most help in SC area. Th videos were really good in terms of covering the basics and the structured approach was helpful in developing a sense of understanding of the topics. I will definitely recommend this all the people who think they are week in Verbal, The CR section could have been better and I was able to find better resources elsewhere for CR. I would request the e-GMAT team to work on their CR content specially interms of the example problems they are using in their material.

Last year, I ended up with a disappointing score of 660 (V-32), much to my astonishment. Around mid of this year, I had planned to retake the exam and signed up with E-GMAT for their Verbal Online course, since I clearly needed some help with verbal and E-GMAT held a pretty good reputation, especially for their verbal course.

I am yet to retake my exam next month, but here are my thoughts on the experience I've had with the course so far
SC - Highly highly recommend, especially for the non native speakers. The course covers every possible concept tested in GMAT for SC. The main concepts of SC are broken down into easy understandable videos which comes with a pre and post assessment. These videos have extensively helped me gain command over SC questions, so much so, that my accuracy improved to a 90%

CR- My CR has been good to begin with. Again, well made videos and concepts are clearly laid out

RC and Master Comprehension- RC has been a blocker for me since the very beginning and their videos are clearly helping me out to gain more confidence over RC questions, with their strategies to approach different sorts of RC questions. Master comprehension is a nice and quick course that serves as a good pre-course before starting RC.

Overall, highly recommend for those looking to improve verbal scores. I have had help from several book and material courses before but nothing was nearly close to E-GMAT's course, because of the way how their course is designed, especially for their SC course.

Before I attempted GMAT for the first time, a friend of mine suggested that I use the services of e-GMAT to aid me in my preparation. But I over-estimated my abilities and decided to prepare on my own. Needless to say, on exam day I did not leave with a smile on my face. Then after due diligence, I decided to heed my friend's advice.

After working with e-GMAT, the improvement in my abilities was palpable. The course topics are highly structured and the best part is that as soon as you are done with the concepts, you solve the OG questions which help massively with concept retention. The quality of the practice questions are a notch above what I had encountered during my first attempt. After going through the advanced concepts, I realized how much I had missed out on the first time around.

All this being said, the flagship feature of their course is undoubtedly the Scholaranium. Scholaranium will help you gauge precisely the areas of strengths and weaknesses and that too at a granular level. Because of this, you will know precisely where to focus your efforts on in the days leading up to the test.

e-GMAT is always trying to improve their content with concepts which can help students better prepare. Indeed, they released a whole host of new features just as I was completing my preparation. If I would have had access to these features before, I would have been able to prepare even better. I think that has to be my only grouse with e-GMAT.

All in all, I would definitely recommend e-GMAT to any potential test-taker.

Like every non native English aspirant , the most dreaded part of the GMAT preparation for me was Verbal Section. The Actual problem that i was facing was despite of all the hardwork , i was always committing mistakes and this was impacting my confidence. Small and silly mistakes in terms of choices were very confusing and always acted as a hindrance for me to get a decent standing in Verbal section.
After reviewing and going through some of the online session and articles of E-gmat, i enrolled for the course and after going through the sections and practices , feel had i taken the course earlier, i would have saved lot of time. The best part of the Course is SC and it is hands down best resource than one can find for Verbal Preparation. The detailed analysis of every element of sentence and probable GMAT question has been thoroughly discussed and by going through several practice tests , it becomes second nature. There is no scope for guess or non conformity . For example, the impact of modifiers on different elements of the sentences and how placement of modifiers changes complete meaning . these small nitty gritty are the real essence of the course and help you to understand the things in the better way. Similarly in RC and CR , prethinking saves you from a lot of the problems and guess works. With every concept and practice session , you will feel the confidence and accuracy going up wards only. After that you have Scholaranium that helps you with regular practice and its questions are very much in line with the real problems. Quizzes and question pools are awesome and great help. Overall it is one of the best thing that one can have , for verbal preparation. Most important is the way the whole thing has been designed , it is too simple yet so effective. Also, the e-gmat team is always there for your help and support and it just shows they care for you and your preparation. And it really a great thing . Thank you E-gmat for everything.

I used E-gmat Verbal online for 6 months. The course is an excellent tool for verbal. The audio and videos are HD quality which gives a live experience to learn. Additionally, the layout of the slides is well organized and facilitate learning effectively. The course covered extensively every aspect of GMAT Verbal. The contents are rich enough to simulate real GMAT questions. Moreover, the explanations provided facilitates learning extensively. Although it is hard to say which module in the E-gmat is the best because every module is equally rich, I liked the sentence correction module the most. This module gives the complete understanding of the topics tested on GMAT, considering the most difficult questions.

I have always had a facility with Maths, so since the beginning I knew I would need to focus on my Verbal studies harder. I tried all the possible books and online sites to enhance my Verbal score, but during months I saw little improvement in the knowledge acquired.

But then I had an a friend telling me to check out the e-gmat, because it was the best online course. Honestly, I made the login not so sure of what I would actually learn, because obviously so many tips had not been so efficient until this point.

Fortunately, the E-gmat Verbal online was definitely the changing point on my Verbal understanding. I felt I really improved and understood the content of the Verbal section only after I went through the e-gmat Verbal online e-gmat course. My grades before were around V29, and now on my mocks they are around V38.

I would say all of the contents are worth. SC, RC and CR. The videos are easy to understand and follow a chronological strategic method to make sure one understands the contents. In fact, I woulds advice to check ouot the 3 contents, ans specially to use the maximum that is offered in the Scholarium feature.

For those who are in doubt, I would definitely suggest the e-gmat as the best online verbal course.

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 help some of you!

All the best to you all !!

I gave my GMAT in July and i remember absolutely dreading the Sentence correction section of the test 2 months before the exam.I could see that even after doing well on the initial tests i was not able to cross the 620 mark .This was very surprising for me as i scored 590 without any preparation.

Even after going through Manhattan guides twice,i was not able to score well in verbal as i was not able to apply any of those concepts while i was solving the questions .That is when GMATCLUB came to my rescue,i looked for courses that could specifically help me with my SC situation and i found my answer with e- GMAT SC course.

This particular course not only explains every bit of grammar that is tested in the GMAT in a very simple manner but also keeps you informed about your progress by testing you after every concept with GMAT like questions. I realised that after taking the course my approach towards looking at problems changed,i could now understand why an answer was correct or incorrect.

The best feature of this course is that after every topic OG questions that are related to the topic are explained thoroughly in their videos .This helps you to understand if your approach to the problem is correct,specifically in GMAT questions.This boosts your confidence if you are going in the right direction or helps you by showing you the red flag if your answer is right but the reasoning is incorrect.

For anybody who is looking for a course specifically focused on SC just check out their free trial i am sure they will impress you to take up their course.

I was able to hit the 650 mark with their help,i hope i will cross 700 next month in my next attempt.

I started using E-gmat as I had heard a lot of positive appreciation about E-gmat.

I first went through the concepts. Please do not forget to go through the application files. A low score on the application file indicates that you need to revise the topics throughly. Make sure to follow the guidelines given to complete the test scores, repeat the test if needed.

Concepts are explained in very clear way.

Another tip to effectively study is to utilize the Scholararium section. Not only can you choose the types of questions but you can also the difficulty level. This tool also has a detailed feedback on your weak areas. This tool also helps to provide actionable feedback area wise.

I started my preparations about 6 weeks before my GMAT exam, beginning with Wiley's Verbal and Quant guides over the first two weeks. I was expecting speedbumps with Quants, but I was stumped when I saw that I wasn't really performing well in the Verbal section either. I scored a 540 on my first mock. For someone coming from a convent school, who hardly ever prepared before his English papers and yet scored really well, this was nothing short of a massive blow to the face.
I really wanted to make my first attempt count and make the most out of it. My first step was a quick Google search for "Best GMAT coaching" and I came across e-GMAT, Mangoosh, Byjus, etc. I read a few articles on GMAT Club on how people have improved their GMAT scores. Most of them mentioned going through Manhattan and Kaplan and various other sources to improve their verbal scores. But most of them also had one common saving grace, e-GMAT. So I had my search results and my reviews to help me zero down to e-GMAT. However, since one man's strategy may not always work for another man, I decided to go through the free course material provided by e-GMAT as well as a couple of others. In the end, I found myself most comfortable with e-GMAT than any other. Ergo, I ended up purchasing their online package. I must say, I crammed through the concept files, verbal as well as quant, for two weeks at a stretch, doing 12 hours a day. While this worked for me, I won't recommend this unless you are comfortable with cramming. I did have my moments of zoning out and getting distracted, especially due to the festive season going on in India at that time. So in order to stay focused, I'd bribe myself with incentives. I'd study for 2 or 3 hours, then I'd listen to some good music for about 15-20 minutes, or watch a part of a movie, or play a mission or two of one of my favorite PC games. Non-stop cramming will only be counter-productive. The brain needs to cool off every now and then.
The overall focus of e-GMAT on pre-thinking, summarizing and simplifying even the most complex of RC passages was a game changer for me. Apart from certain highlighted text based questions, I never had to revisit the passages to answer the pertaining questions. For CR, reading the question (whether it is asking for assumption or strengthener or weakener) before going through the presented argument only made the pre-thinking way quicker. After verbal, I moved on to quant, which was also simplified by e-GMAT in a way that I could never imagine. Then I moved on to Scholaranium practice sessions. The questions here are tougher than official GMAT questions, but they are essential to make sure you are prepared to handle even the worst. So approach your Scholaranium scores with a positive perspective and analyse where you went wrong. Finally, I spent two weeks practicing 40 questions from each section of the 2018 Official Guide, followed by a deep analysis of all the wrong answers, introspecting to find gaps and bridge them. First, my focus was on improving my score, even if I took 90 minutes for each section. Then with constant practice, I came down to 60 minutes per section, improving my scores as well with each attempt. I spent one day practicing IR and probably an hour understanding how to and how not to approach AWA.
My test was scheduled at 1 PM. I had a good 8 hours of sleep the night before, I didn't go through any study material that day, I had a light lunch and I went for my test. It is very important to approach the final test with a cool head. Do not let anxiety or panic cloud your judgement. Understand the logic behind each question, be aware of specific details mentioned in the question, and accordingly select the most accurate option (and eliminate others on solid grounds as well). I made sure I attempted all questions and didn't spend too much time on questions that I couldn't interpret at all. Finally, at the end of 4 long hours, I was delighted to see a score of 730 (V42, Q48) with an IR score of 7. For AWA, I read through the argument presented, wrote down a few points that could weaken the argument, built a short paragraph around each point, threw in a couple of real-life examples, gave it a short and to-the-point summary (the reverse of e-GMAT's RC strategy) and built an essay that earned a perfect 6. So Practice, Introspection and Persistence, with e-GMAT as a catalyst, was my winning formula to ace the GMAT.
