E-gmat offers excellent resources to self-study for the verbal part in GMAT, especially the Sentence Correction section. It really focuses on the important and tricky points that students are often confused and make mistakes. The instructor has an excellent approach to explain grammatical foundation to help students understand and apply the knowledge in answering SC questions. Questions to practice are ok, not too hard, but enough to help students remember grammatical points. Additional practice questions are provided at the end of each module together with Official Guide questions. Scholaranium is ok: some questions are similar but others are more about emphasizing the grammatical points rather than reaching the difficulty level in GMAT exam. I hope to have more practice questions and modules can be made longer. However, I think the SC has covered pretty significant volume of grammar points to review for GMAT.

Great course so far!

My first attempt at GMAT gave me a 600. I was depressed with the course. My verbal course was pathetic. I prepared using Manhattan SC book, but was not satisfied as my confidence was not great.
I was recommended e-gmat by a friend. I started preparing from verbal online prep and verbal live prep. Within no time, i started gaining confidence and better scores. The Scholarium in the verbal section is the best. I am yet to take my GMAT, but i have recently got 690 in mock prep and i feel its mainly coz of e-gmat. Everything is great with e-gmat. However, kindly be informed that they will charge you if you want to extend your course. I have read in this forum that it will be extended for free. However, i was charged. It seems there is an option to disable the course for some duration if you want to take a break from preparation. Do use it. All the best :)

The egmat verbal course provided me with a great base to start with. My concepts expecially in SC significantly improved. In addition Scholaranium helped in identifying weak areas and improve timing. More importantly, the questions on Scholaranium were relevant to the actual GMAT test unlike those of many other online prep companies. The algorithms used in questions selection is great and just what the student required. This gave me the flexibility of choosing the right kind and number of questions as per requirement.

Would recommend this course as a must have for all those who are serious about getting a good GMAT score.

I had given my GMAT last year in October (610) and at that point of time I used to absolutely dreaded verbal. I found it really mundane and could never get myself to concentrate and solve the questions. While my quant was always strong,

Then, a colleague at work introduced me to e-GMAT. After a six month break, I started again with my prep. I cant thank enough to this portal for I have improved my verbal score incredibly! The videos are so descriptive. They are easy to understand and makes you think about the structure of the sentence you read in the test. this help me 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. I am yet to give my GMAT hoping for the best!

Hi guys, i am sandeep sharma from India. I have around 14 years of work experience in IT domain. I have domestic as well as international experience. I joined e-gmat on 15- march 2015 . My order no on e-gmat was #14994.I joined verbal online course and as a complementary , i got access of scholaranium free of cost. Before joining e-gmat , i used to have different approach for tackling SC questions. As i could read from internet , most of the guys preparing for gmat were using POE approach. hence I also started using POE approach. Although i was using this approach but there was no methodology or logical approach . With out meaning clarity and structural approach , it was just a blind game with no clarity on how and why we are eliminating. After joining e-gmat , i went through all concepts . majorly, using ed and ing was always a confusing point for me but e-gmat clarified all and now SC questions are a cake walk for me
Prethinking methodology for CR question was a break point for me to handle CR questions. Rethinking has increased my accuracy from 50% to 80%
E-Gmat provided a definitive and structural approach that would work for all types of CR or SC questions. I started scoring from v33 to 38 in all mocks.
Last but not the least ,my favourite scholaranium is the best tool for practice. you can gauge yourself on real performance.
I would recommend this course to all ( specially non-natives) who want to score 700+

I have used e-GMAT for Verbal section. The first impressive thing is the material is very well organized and easy to follow. The concepts are nicely explained with several examples and the at the end if each section they have provided summary. I particularly like following strategies:
1.For Critical Reasoning section to tackle Assumption and Evaluate type questions.
2. For Sentence Correction section, how to split the Independent and Dependent Clauses and various types of connectors for these two clauses. The question bank in Scholaranium is very helpful and resourceful. Overall, I recommend the course material for both native and non native speakers.

Before egmat's verbal online course i used to have different approach for different types of SC questions and the explanations seemed to me biased with the answers, even in OG's explanations, where for most of the choices of SC questions , the explanation would be its wordy or not grammatically correct, or for CR answer choices, the explanation would be just OUT of scope / opposite... without any further explanations, In that case there is little chance of gaining from solving these questions. But egmat provided that definitive, a structural approach that would work for all types of CR or SC questions.
A checklist of 8 points to look for errors in GMAT SC goes with questions of any difficulty level, which i found most helpful . the same with CR question, its focus on proper allocation of time to comprehend, prethink and POE really makes solving CR question fun and easy.(specially after prethinking approach all the OG explanations seemed to be within my line of thinking ).
After video lessons( with emoticons), application practice quizzes really help build up the concept and then segregation of OG questions provides a lot to practice on just one concept.
Though I am yet to write my GMAT exam in 15 days, I am getting 690 -710 in every mock now. with verbal score of 36 to 40.

I would really recommend verbal online course to anyone who have problem in CR or SC.

hii guys,this is chandan from India.I am in my final year of graduation in a government college of Odisha.I recently took the GMAT and got a 660(48Q,32V) with a 200 points increment from my first mock.I am very much thankful to E-GMAT for my score improvement in verbal from 13 to 32.
You guys perhaps know how heartbreaking is to witness a score of 13 in verbal while scoring 48-49 in quant .My first mock score on the gmatprep was 460!!!!! (42Q,13V).I was just shocked to see my verbal score as well as the overall score.So expecting a 650+ at that time was pretty foolish.I started my verbal prep afterwards extensively.I bought MGMAT SC,CR Bible and started reading those stuffs seriously.But my second mock witnessed me a 520 (17-18 V) .
I just could not handle that verbal part at all.After 15-16 days I took again the GMAT Prep and score 590(48Q,22/23 V).I knew that crossing 650 was nearly impossible with this kind of verbal score.Suddenly I came across a webniar of GMAT stategy by RAJAT of E-GMAT.It just made me believe that I could also crack the verbal.I was going to sit for the GMAT in 10 days.So may be that online session with Rajat gave me new energy to tackle the verbal section.I instantly bought the SC course and started doing that in a religious manner.I was able to finish that course in 7 days and I was fully surprised to see my progress.Besides that, the prethinking technique for CR and main idea generation technique for RC just gave my prep a new direction.Time management in verbal was always an issue for me.But the time management technique and specially the takht time management by Rajat solved my problem.I got a 680 on the last mock and finally on the D-day I got a 660(48Q,32V).Lil bit of disappointed for quant but quite happy for verbal.I prepared for the GMAT for 3-4 weeks and developed my verbal score from 13 to 32 in one month and 23 to 32 in just 7-8 days only because of E-GMAT.If i had purchased the course a little bit earlier then I would have touched the 40 in the verbal.I know 660 is not that good but I am quite satisfied as I achieved it by preparing for nearly one month.

I had given my GMAT more than a year ago (620- V31, Q45). Actually, mostly because of my low score I was waitlisted in all BS (fall 2017) , to which I applied. Few month ago, I realized that I’m at a point where I should decide «to be or not to be». I mean a decision to follow my MBA goal or to forget about it. Thus, I decided to continue and to give one more shot to the GMAT. The last one.

Firstly, I’d like to introduce myself. I’m 31 years old women, non-native (my native languages are Ukrainian and Russian) and I have 2 years old daughter (without any help from my parents as they live far from my place). Thus as most of non-natives I have big problems with my Verbal part. Verbal for me is a real challenge. To be more precise I had problems in all SC, CR and RC.

I’ve read a huge number of reviews, tried free trial version and decided to take Verbal Online course on E-GMAT. This course consists of 5 parts:
Master Comprehension
Sentence correction,
Critical Reasoning,
Reading Comprehension
Integrating Reasoning
Scholanarium (practice platform)


In addition, you get
GMATclub tests (26 Q and 9 V) and
800score tests


I will tell you a little about each of these parts.
Master Comprehension. The first my desire was to skip this part and to start as I thought «real» preparation, but this part, in my opinion, wont take too long to finish and gives you something fundamental, without which, I think, I wouldn't have a full picture of the exam and wouldn't know how to approach SC, CR and RC questions. Must to do.

Sentence Correction. I really loved the e-gmat approach in covering all this boring grammar in a such interesting and «alluring» way. I adore how e-gmat structured all information. They divided SC course in several topics and you can easily plan you study. For example, SC in two weeks means that you take pre-ability quiz, then just follow all these topics one per day (sometimes ,in case of modifiers, you take two days on a such topic) and after two weeks you take a final ability quiz. In my case I improved my SC from 47% to 89%.

Critical Reasoning. I still struggling with this part as I realized that when I solve problems on a particular topic I’m OK. However, when I have mixed problems sometimes I’m confused in determining the type of question. I found the «Pre-think» strategy very helpful as it not only a time saver but also a correct answer guarantee. This strategy gives you a full understanding of the passage and as a result doesn't allow to trick you when you go through POE process. I’m still working on it, but I already have little progress from 44% to 67%. What I said about SC also applies to CR, RC and IR. All information perfectly structured and you wont have a problem to plan your study and of course to understand the theory. As for me I know that I need more practice.

Reading Comprehension. This part was very helpful and easy to follow. When you practicing it through the e-gmat platform all these passages are appears to be not so boring and difficult. I loved the "to get immersed» strategy that worked for me great. I would literally tell myself at the beginning of each passage that "Oh! this sounds interesting, lets read what happens next!"

Integrating Reasoning. This is a great addition to all these parts.

Scholaranium. I absolutely loved this part of my Verbal online course. I had decided to do at least 3 passages every day, along with 15 SC and 15 CR. I used to create a lot of SC, CR and RC Ability quizzes and while I started with a 47%, 44% and 53% accuracy respectively, by now I have 89%, 67% and 60% accuracy which is a great achievement for me. After each quiz you can review you questions and get perfect explanations. Moreover, there is a forum after each question and if you have still concerns about particular question you can ask an Expert and get an answer in just several hours.

Gmatclub tests are great to practice your Quantative part as well as Verbal.
As to 800score.com tests, I would say that after reading all reviews about them I decided not to waste my time and purchased Manhattan tests. So, I would recommend to e-gmat to exclude 800score tests and substitute them with more reliable tests OR dispel myths about them.

Finally, in my mock test(Manhattan tests) yesterday I got V 38. This for me great result and I hope to score the same in my real test(in several weeks).

Thank you e-GMAT 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 Verbal and on the GMAT at all.))

All the best to you all !!

I started my gmat preparation with verbal score of 29 and was really worried about how to improve my score. You can exhaust all the material and still feel stuck because right approach is really necessary and that is where eGMAT came into picture.
Before egmat's verbal online course i used to have different approach for different types of SC questions and the explanations seemed to me biased with the answers, even in OG's explanations, where for most of the choices of SC questions , the explanation would be its wordy or not grammatically correct, or for CR answer choices, the explanation would be just OUT of scope / opposite... without any further explanations, In that case there is little chance of gaining from solving these questions.

Though I am yet to write my GMAt exam in two weeks, I am getting 730 -750 in every mock now. with verbal score of 39 to 42.

I would really recommend verbal online course to anyone who have problem in CR or SC, or attend a free webinar by Rajat, you can make your own decision afterwards.
