Hello everyone. Before going into the course feedback, I'll like to tell about my background. I am an engineer with a work experience of 2 years. I had appeared for my first GMAT attempt in early 2016 and scored 660 on it. I realised just after the exam that I needed to clear my basic concepts before having a try again on the GMAT. I researched a lot about the best verbal courses provided by different institutions. After a lot of research and positive feedbacks on the e-GMAT course, I decided to go with the Verbal online course.
Coming to the course, I really didn't expect it to be so good! We have different sections for RC, CR and SC. In each section you have the topics broken down and video lectures for each of the topic. They will explain all the intricacies in detail. On top of that, they have tests at the end of each topic you just learned. This was the icing on the cake as you could test your hand on the topic just learned. On top of all this, you have the verbal scholaranium which is essentially a question bank. You can practice from the scholaranium in any section you want or you can take a verbal ability test, similar to the actual GMAT test, which contains questions from all the sections and is a 75 minutes test.
The course significantly improved my basics in each of the sections. It told all the details that you should keep in mind while answering any question. It has a proper flow that you can follow to arrive at the correct answer choice.
I would highly recommend this course to the people who are thinking about taking up online verbal courses. It's a no-brainer to go with e-GMAT's Verbal online course.
Happy studying and all the best folks!

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.

I found the concept files engaging and breezy. Concepts are explained in a lucid manner.

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.

All and All E-gmat is a powerful weapon to master the gmat! GO for it !!!

- [ ] I gave my first GMAT exam without any coaching or without enrolling into any course and had a low score of 530 Q42 V20 and the first thing that came to my mind was I need to improve my verbal skills so after reading a lot of reviews on GMAT Club and attending the first free webinar for CR from egmat I decided to give it a try and enrolled for the Verbal Online course.The best thing about this course is step wise approach to explain things. The videos require a lot of time but it was worth it as it helped me understand the every detail also a step wise approach to solve the questions.I liked the videos for both SC and CR and after going through all the courses my accuracy for SC improved from 45 to 80%. Another feature of this that I liked was the scholaranium wherein I could practice and improve my performance.

I took my first GMAT on March 15th 2017 .I did not take any coaching help and only relied on the Manhattan GMAP prep books and official guides and some free online stuff. I scored a score of 590 (Q 47 and V 24 and IR 2) .I realized that I have considerable concept gaps in verbal and that I cannot simply overcome them by studying Manhatten Prep books and Office guides. So I started looking for Online / Live session courses and reviewed them on Gmat Club.I trusted Gmat club reviews simply because there were verified reviews and I found that E-Gmat stands out as a clear winner in the Verbal online segment courses not only with the maximum number of reviews but also reviews from successful native Indian speakers whom have done well on the Gmat.
So selected the E-Gmat course and tried to complete it from beginning to end. I was pleasantly surprised to find how each and every tops have been framed and different pitfalls and common tested errors for that topic has been discussed at length. Each and every chapter is followed up with a concept check with real GMAT like problem. Each such exercise helped me to rectify the grey areas that I had in those topics and move on.
The Verbal scholarium is such a meticulously planned exercise tool that gives you 730+ Gmat like questions that you can use to practice either to develop your accuracy or your sense of timing , a factor that is crucial and extremely handy in actual GMAT test.
Although I am confident that the sentence correction module of EGMAT verbal course is truly the best one that is available in the market and prepares you holistically towards a better verbal score, CR section is also elaborate and there are over 230 gmat like practice question in the verbal scholarium that is sufficient to elevate your CR accuracy.
Only thing that might be slightly made more relevant is the approach one needs to take for the RCs as sometimes I have felt that the approach is lengthy.
Overall I would say that it is fantastic product and provides much more value than it is priced.If it is followed holistically , it is bound to improve your GMAT verbal score .

I went with the egmat course. I went through the SC and CR courses of egmat, and they were, no doubt, a great stepping-stone to a better understanding of the subtle concepts in SC, and the pre-thinking way in CR.The questions in scholaranium are very good.What worked for me in SC was that I understood the meaning of the sentence in question and always questioned myself about the modifiers used in that sentence.For CR, the pre-thinking, as obvious as it sounds, tremendously helped me.
In summary, e-gmat verbal online is a great course for non-native english speakers

English is my second language and I really recommend this product for anyone who is planning to take GMAT and English is not their first language for them.
There are many examples that make you familiar with the GMAT tests.
The RC section is really helpful. It covers all the details and give you a great perspective of what you might see in the GMAT.
I also love the scholaranium. It really helped me to be more focus and improved my RC and SC abilities. The scholaranium helped me to improve my time management and answer the verbal section in the specific time frame.

20 Days before the exam, I still had very low confidence on my accuracy in Sentence Correction.

Even though I had read the Manhattan SC book and learnt some concepts, I was not able to apply these learnings while practicing Official Guide Questions primarily because of its lack of practice questions similar to OG.
I also felt that concepts taught in the Manhattan SC book were a bit easier than those tested in Official Guide, though the explanations were very clear and I felt I learnt a lot from the book.

Confident that my SC prep was not upto the mark, I started searching for online resources.

Trying to save some money, I collected all the SC PDF's available on gmatclub forum. I eventually (2-3 days later) realized that even though the free resources had good material, I found myself reading a new doc every few hours and was unable to focus on one. At the end of 2-3 days, I realized I had not learnt anything concrete.

This was an unnecessary wastage of time and I quickly decided to buy a good course to help me focus on only 1 source of learning. Going through the reviews, it was clear that e-GMAT verbal is amongst the best, and definitely the best for non-natives. Without thinking twice, I subscribed for the Sentence Correction course (which was available individually at that time).

I decided to devote one complete week (of the 18 days remaining) to e-GMAT sentence correction. I found the course extremely helpful. All the concepts were very clearly explained and all the edge cases were covered too. Their 3 step approach helps you in breaking down a long sentence in smaller easy to understand part. This was an extremely helpful technique.

The practice quizzes and questions were really good and of the level of Official Questions.

One word of caution, when I was following the course I was practicing questions topic by topic. Hence they are a bit easy to solve because you know what type of error is going to be in the question. Even thought the course always advises to use the 3 step approach, I felt it is not possible to do this when you are trying to quickly solve these questions ( or maybe I had little time to internalize this approach).

Hence I will advise to keep some time to solve official question, after getting done with the E-gmat course. With the concepts taught, it is possible to get at least 90% accuracy depending on the time and efforts one puts.

Overall, it proved extremely helpful to me, even in the short time span of 3 weeks and helped me get 730 (V:40).

I found the course content and course structure very well organized and super helpful. Super work!!!

I felt so confident in CR section after going through the e-gmat content that now I can easily solve 11-12 questions correctly out of 13. The SC video explainations are superb and thorough. This is the best staring point in your gmat prep journey.

The scholarium questions are also very good to practice and build on your concepts. They have a good number of questions on all the sections of GMAT. The analytics of the performance also helps in understanding the weak areas.

I would strongly recommend this product to all my friends and Gmatclub friends.

I had taken GMAT in October 2016 and got an overall score of 680(Q50, V32). I must say that the improvement on my score should be attributed to the way e-GMAT kept me confident and comfortable throughout my preparation.
When I took my first mock from GMATPrep, I ended up with a score of 600(Q-50, V-22), which highlighted my weakness at key concepts in SC and CR. While I was able to ace Quant without external preparation, the same can’t be said about Verbal. As a non-native English speaker, I was desperate to push my verbal score by at least 32 in order to reach 700(Q51 V32 can fetch you 700), which was my target score. After going through a myriad of reviews on GMAT Club, I was convinced that I should enroll for e-GMAT Verbal Online course, and I must say it was a great decision in my short journey of preparation.
To begin with, I enjoyed the way e-GMAT covered the fundamentals of Grammar (for SC). Each and every concept in grammar is taught logically aided by relatable illustrations. During my course of preparation, I felt that e-GMAT not only debunked the myths surrounding a lot of concepts but also helped me to unlearn and relearn things that were taught incorrectly at school. Moreover, at the end of each lesson, the concepts are summarized in a nutshell that helped me big time as I am naturally bad at taking notes. Concepts, such as Modifiers and Parallelism, are cleared with ease through the documents that they provide along with the audio/video material.
In addition to SC, I lacked skills in solving hard CR questions especially the ones that are based on Strengtheners and Assumptions. Fortunately, e-GMAT teaches it to you beautifully through a test called Negation that leads you to the assumption. Similarly, e-GMAT brings out different concepts such as pre-thinking and variance analysis in order to get to the understanding in detail. Along with these materials, you have Scholaranium that provides you the flexibility to create custom quizzes (I needed them for SC and CR), which can be used efficiently to track your ability (not just accuracy) throughout your preparation. Moreover, I found that these questions had a high correlation with the questions in GMATPrep, and hence I resorted only to GMATPrep for my Mocks (unlike MGMAT). I scored 660 and 670 in the mocks written days before the exam. I was not moving ahead as my Quant score was stuck at 5o.
During the actual GMAT, I breezed through the Quant section, and in fact, I completed the section with over 15 minutes on my clock. I had even hopes of touching 51 this time. In the verbal, I felt that I was sailing in smooth waters till question number 25. A super-hard RC struck me badly, and I had less than 5 minutes for my last five questions. I rushed through those questions, and I still believe they reduced my score by at least 3 points. When I submitted my exam, I saw 680 flashing on my screen (Q50 V32). Even though I didn’t reach 700, I made a great improvement within a short span of time.
Finally, I would like to thank e-GMAT for pushing my score close to my target. I hope this review would be helpful for non-natives who seek betterment in Verbal. e-GMAT is here for you!
All the very best for your preparations!

Verbal Prep was great help to improve my score my V34 to V41. The videos and suggested strategies were really helpful! It helped me to improve my score in Verbal. Would suggest follow all the strategies suggested and practice a lot after that. In my first attempt, I only used part e-gmat strategy and part mine in Verbal. It didn’t help. Follow their strategies completely and it really helps. I went through all videos twice before my GMAT and practiced their strategies on all OG questions. Plus, the verbal workshop I attended was also very helpful.
I would highly recommend the course.
